Woo-frickin-hoo!

Taking a few days off was JUST what I needed. My drops into the 'fly were quicker, more responsive, and I was actually WILLING to pop back up to negate my complete lack of butterfly slide ability. The few times they scored today was because of a total lack of defense (4 rebound shots all alone against three forwards... I'll let that one slide off my back) and not because of my horrible play!

I'm improving!

Several of the guys at the rink told me I've been improving steadily over my 25 days of ice skating, and I sure hope so! If NOT, it isn't worth it, haha.

Got my new glove and blocker today, pro quality, so I won't be feeling the shots to my hands any more. New leg pads in about a week or week and a half, also pro quality. Upgrading from street hockey garbage is going to be nice :)

ANYBODY with Butterfly slide tips, send 'em this way, and don't just send youtube video links, I've seen them ALL. I'm not exaggerating.

Thanks guys!
