Playoff hockey. On any level there is nothing better than playoff hockey. Every shift, every pass and every shot matters. On the left is Patty O, Brian & John getting ready for our game. On the right is team owner, Walter, putting on his game face. Everyone has a pregame ritual. Some guys stretch, some guys loosen up with some pregame banter teasing guys for last weeks play and others quietly put on their equipment. There aren't many of those on our team. Then there are two Irish brothers who have no pregame ritual since they are always running late into the locker room as their teammates take to the ice. We played a good game tonight. We didn't cash in on some golden opportunities and lost 7-4. It was a hard fought, clean game to play in, lots of chances on both sides and end to end most of the night. Neither team had more than a one goal lead until the last two minutes of the game. Another hockey season completed and a new season just two weeks away. Like the t-shirts that Chrissy bought for me, Reg & Walt says, "My drinking team has a hockey problem."
