Beer League Hockey Playoffs are here once again. My team, Alman Electric, finished second overall in the standings and faced off against the dreaded 3rd place Hangovers. Game 1 was a chess-match, but we put together a great team effort, lead by salacious goaltending and hung on for a 3-2 win. Game 2 was a different story. We got absolutely SCREWED by the refs…. It was like someone put a keg of beer in the penalty box – we couldn’t stay out. We were shorthanded the entire game and lost 4-2. All four goals against were scored while we had guys in the box (2 5-on-3 goals and 2 5-on-4 goals). That had to be one of the worst displays of refereeing in the history of sports… I actually got a 2 minute minor penalty called against me for sneezing on a guy. The deciding game 3 is next Tuesday at 10pm. We’ve got to stay outta the freaking penalty box if we want to have a chance of beating those chumps.

As a side note, I’ve been growing the traditional playoff hockey beard, much to Sarah’s chagrin. I hope it helps my luck on the ice more than it’s helped my luck in the boom-boom-room (if ya know what I mean)…
