shave a beard and win a championship

Well I've finally shaved off that beard, why? Because of the constant nagging and nagging of Mrs Sap and cjblue. Well not really; we had my Rec Hockey Championship game tonight so my hockey playoffs are officially done tonight.

Well like I mentioned before our Final was tonight. It's been a strange year for this team with only 8 players on a roster (that's three less then anyone else). Also with Rec Hockey there's always someone who can't show so we had to play most nights with with only one spare on the bench. It made for alot of interesting nights. The good thing about this is that the main core of guys became really close and you look forward to seeing these guys every Friday night. Overall the season went as perfect as it can get. I won top goaltender, we had the top point getter and to top it off we finished first place in an 8 team league. I think in another blog entry I'm going to highlight certain games.

Tonights game was no different for us - as a team with suspensions we were down to 7 players including myself. The team we were playing had 14 including their goalie so it was set to be a long night. They came out like gangbusters which was normal - our team are very slow starters and we weathered the flurries with me having make key saves and the score was tied 0-0 right were we wanted to be - the longer it stayed tied the better it was for us.

Second period was more of the same but the guys were getting tired. Which lead to the opening goal - it was a simple wraparound that I had stopped and had thought I had covered up to get a whistle so the team could get a break but there was none coming and they kept bagging away and finally it goes in. 1-0 them. We answered about 10 mins later - a point shot that goes off the post and in. 1-1. The second period comes to an end and a much needed flood of the ice surface and break for us.

Well the third period was all ours; we outplayed them and they were getting mad at themselves and they were getting tired (which is really surprising cause the had double the bodies - go figure.) We took a 2-1 lead on a delayed penalty. I didn't see the goal caue I was heading to the bench for an extra attacker when we scored. We made it 3-1 on a penalty shot goal by our leading scorer. That goal was the backbreaker for them because we play defence better then anyone else. Also, you can feel it in your gut. They had got one late goal on a third rebound when I was down and out. The hardest thing for me was that last minunte but our guys tightened up and I really only had to make one save right at the buzzer.

Final score : 3-2 us.

The greatest thing for me was that I was named Playoff MVP! I think this one is extra special for me and was really hoping to get it. It was like the icing on my cake, I've never been one for awards in a team sport and it always been team first, but with this team it means a whole lot more. I think I'll end on this note. Whether we had won or lost tonight I was excited to do this with them. I think this is one of those memories that stay with you forever.

P.S if anyone of you need any of the hockey stuff explaned I'll be happy to

hey y'all

I know I said I would not post till after the weekend. Meh I'm kinda bored before bed and Mrs Sap is sleeping. Kinda wish I was there - she's a cute sleeper & I could watch her for hours. Even though she snores really really loud (actually its more like a purr but I won't tell her that *wink).
So I just got back from my night out with Cjblue. We saw 10,000BC - it was okay, the final battle scene could have been more to it and could have been gorier. Then we sat in the lobby afterwards just chatting catching up and taking a trip down memory lane.

Cjblue kept making fun of my beard and after reading Mrs. Saps blog so does she hehe. hmm that gives me an idea maybe I'll just leave it. hmm wait lets re-think that, its starting to bug even me. This year its grown fast and alot and really I've gone about the same distance in the playoffs. Maybe I'll just go with a soul patch?

I'm really excited because I get to see Mrs Sap tomorrow and I don't have to wait till the 5th! We're going to look at apartments tomorrow, and then I get to see her again on the 31st!! I am so happy. OK I'm starving, so I'm going to heat up the food my mom brought me after the movie (my mom really spoils me - yes I'm a mommas boy.)

simple life

Well I've been asked to clarify what I mean by a "simple life". Well its pretty hard to explain cause it is so simple. Does that make any sense? I only enjoy a few things in my life and really until about 6 months ago it was only hockey and my Evercrack. However, Mrs Sap has really taken on big part of my life and really other than those things nothing else matters to me. So that's what I meant by a "simple life".

It's weird I'm not going to see Mrs. Sap untill the 5th of April. This is through no fault of either one of us except we both are mostly living our lives. I am going to miss not seeing her, but the best part about when I do get to see her is it will be at my hockey banquet. This is my chance to indroduce her to my hockey buddies and their wives. I guess its kinda a reward for all the support she has given me this hockey season. I really want her to see the championship game but there are circumstances that she won't be able to go.

This will be my last post until the weekend (well maybe - depends on if I get the urge or need a break) one thing I'm looking forward to is seeing a movie with my friend, cjblue. I've got alot to talk about with her and we have kinda fallen out of touch the last little while. She's been a real good friend and kinda stayed neutral though out my break up with my ex but she was always there for support when I needed her. I will tell you all how that goes.

Oh on a side note you won't have to put up with my bad grammar I've found someone to edit it just for all your reading enjoyment. I just wonder what its going to cost me? Well till the next time I get the urge to write or I need somewhere to vent.

a first entry

well I did it I broke down and started my own blog. I guess the many times I read Mrs Saps I get the urge to, but never got down to it before now.

Well lets see im a 29 year old male who like long walks on the beach and my idea first date would be...... oops wrong site! hmmm I don't need that site do I now? ok enough of my bad humor. I do have some interests - namely hockey and my girl. oh yeah I'm an Evercrack nerd (kind of like WoW but SO much better). So get used to hearing alot about those things.

I have always said I lead a simple life and like to keep it that way. Mind you lately I have been doing things out of character - I think Mrs Sap has benefited from this and I don't hear her complaining too much (actually I think she loves it)! However I will draw the line at flowers - I have never bought any and don't plan on it.

Well that's it for an opening entry so be prepared for bad grammar, spelling and a whole lot of hockey and sappy stuff!
