We took a five-minute water break to try and regather our thoughts and to try and come back from this awful game against a group of social rejects. My hand had stopped bleeding by now and I was able to sign autographs for all the fans that had come out to see me play, but my hand was not well enough for me to start playing just yet.

It was now around 5:30 so we continued the game so that it did not end too late.

Jason passed it over to Scott who I had no problem body checking him flying into some old ladies car. Scott left a huge dent in the back of it. I then proceeded to do a spin-o-rama that got me around their last defender and their goalie and I buried it into the open

And of course there is that one jokester in the team that makes everyone laugh which made our team better and more special and unusual.
