I was playing goal for the SST's other team. Only six dudes showed up and we were playing the team I played for last year... had to perform! And damn if I didn't play like I was 20 again. In 40 minutes I had 50 shots, and they were solid shots, breakaways, 2-1s... it was truly unbelievable. Making those saves really made me feel young again and reminded my how much I love playing goal... and how freaking good I am.

Then it happened. All this playing like I was 20 again caught up to me. Over halfway through the second half I was rotating the right leg and sliding across to make a save. There was a pop in my mid hamstring and I felt the muscle spring up to my ass like a cut elastic band. I couldn't get up and they scored their first. I couldn't move very well and they scored a couple more.

The injury is seemingly nice and linear, and it bothers me more sitting down than standing up. It wasn't an over extension or flexion kind of thing, but a strange rotation, so I think only one muscle is effected.

Awesome.

C • Sprained Ass 2

Played well enough, got a decent workout and a few scoring chances, just couldn't bury it though. Lost 4-3 in a shoot out. I think I got one or two assists, one for sure and I had no business getting that one. Whatev. Took the first shot in the shootout, tried to drop the puck in short side after dragging across... next time I'll try the slapper.

Watched Penguins and Flyers alone... I has a lonely.
