Losing sucks.
I have a bad cold this week and it has eroded the sugar coating I ordinarily use to shield the world from my fundamental grumpiness. I hate losing. It sucks. It particularly sucks when we should be winning, and I think we should've won that game. They basically have one guy who can do some damage, a lot of strong women who play their positions well, and a goalie with solid skills and some flaming rabbit's foot dangling over his head or something. We have skilled veterans, a group of emerging rookies, and OK, fine, a substitute goalie who probably could've used a rub-down, five hours of sleep and a Power Bar before he suited up. That should've been enough.
The dog ate my teamwork.
One thing I noticed out there this week that made me nervous is that we're not working as a team right now. We're not passing the ball, we're not looking to see where our teammates are, we're not communicating. This must change if we want to win. And we do want to win, because why? That's right, losing sucks. Congratulations. You have passed the Natasha's pissy mood pop quiz with flying colors.
KLPOTG
This week's player of the game is Cindy. This was only Cindy's second real hockey game, but she has shown an amazing grasp of positioning and a little stick-handling flair too. With fundamentals that strong, she's only going to get better.
Sean
We haven't had any updates on how Sean's mom is doing, so please spare a positive thought for them both this week.
This week's game
Here's a shock: we're on at 2:00 again. And we're playing JATHA, the team that made Terry give up drinking fountains. See you all then.
