So last night we were playing this team who happens to have a woman on it , and we only had 5 players show up for the game. In roller hockey this would only leave one player on the bench for a change
(tynstar needs to come out of retirement and play again)
I have been playing roller hockey for around 12 years now and have never had a woman ever score a goal on me. I have played against plenty and not a single goal ...... Until last night
Not that I dont consider women bad hockey players or anything like that , but its a streak I was kind of hoping to keep.
It happened like this ..... The other teams best player was the only guy doing any scoring on me and they were up 4 - 2 with 5 minutes left. My team was down on the other end when they turned over the puck , only one of my defensemen made it back on defense (the other guys were too tired from playing the whole game)
The other teams best plaer had the puck and I was set to make the save when out of the blue he passes the puck to the female player right at the side of the net for a "one timer". 2 things happened on that play that I wasnt expecting..... For one he passed (I thought for sure he would take it upon himself to score and put the game out of reach.) And secondly she connected with a wicked wrister that went top shelf
If the puck went low I would have made the save because I went into a butterfly. But I just couldnt make it fast enough....
Anyhow , thats my story from the world of hockey. I thought all of you hockey fans out there (hears crickets chirping) would like a hockey story since the NHL isnt playing
5 points for anybody who knew what the hockey term butterfly means (tynstar not included)
