New Year

First off, Happy New Year.

Secondly, this post relates to the first hockey game of the new year, which has by far had the best ending. Comparable, but not as awesome, as the World Juniors Gold Game - Canada should've won. Eberle is my new love.

But, anyway...

I'm kind of bored, and I want to spread the awesomeness of this awesome ending!

So, the entire game, our team is trailing by 1. 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2, 3-3.

1:45 left in the third period. 3-3. The opponents shoot, goalie covers it. So, they storm the net and charge the goalie. Instantly, his teammates are in a brawl. Everybody is fighting, everybody is throwing punches. Even little Anthony, the fiestiest player on the team, and my new hero. People are jumping, people are pulling players down, people are in heaps. David is just in his net, watching in awe. Eventually, everybody skates to the bench, except two players - Rob and one of the opponents. Everytime the other guy got up, Rob pulled him down and continued hitting him. This other guy was so beyond losing. Rob dominated, along with everyone else. But this was just too funny.

So, afterwords, we expect them to get at least one penalty for goalie interference, or fighting, or roughing or SOMETHING. But no. We got 2 penalties and something like 4 suspensions. They got one. It was completely NOT FAIR. So, now, its 5 on 3, with the other team having a two-man advantage. My proudest moment, I yelled: "BOO!" In a mere three seconds, our entire side of the arena is booing the refs. I felt so proud. (:

Anyway, so they continue playing. 5 on 3. David made amazing saves. There's 12 seconds left, in our zone. Somebody passes to Adam, who skates up, past the four enemy players who are on our blueline, in front, break away... He SHOOTS. HE SCORES. A 2 MAN SHORT HANDED GOAL WITH 11 SECONDS LEFT IN THE GAME. It was AWESOME to say the least.

Everyone was in awe. At this point, our entire team and all of the fans were practically in a riot. But twas amazing. That's all that matters.

I love hockey.
