  tonight's a big one: the nhl season is over, but my new season begins. the cool thing about this season is that the boy and i are on the same roster in the beginners' league (the boy has no business being in that league...but i pulled some strings and signed us a ringer) and we're rostered on opposing teams in the advanced league.
this summer will be the best of both worlds...we get to play together one night a week, and then beat the crap out of each other in the other league. i plan to shut him out. i really do. but, whenever i start thinking about shutting him out, i remember that time, long ago, before we were dating, when he scored two hat tricks on me in one game.
that's six goals, kids. scary. however, i have a weapon now that i didn't have back then, and that's the power to say: "score a lot now, and you won't be scoring much later, if you catch my drift..." i think that will be an effective goaltending strategy.
