I played well tonight but had nothing to show for it on the scoresheet. I guess I shouldn’t complain too much since we did get the victory. Acutally, I did have 5 shots on goal and four of those shots were excellent scoring opportunities, but the goalie just had my number tonight. Here’s a recap of my scoring opportunities. With heavy traffic in front of the net, I fired a shot off the goalie’s right shoulder for my first SOG. Later in the game, I blocked a shot attempt from the opposing defenseman which resulted in a fast break in the other direction. I skated in from the right side and tried to wait out the goalie. As he moved to cover the near side, I tried to fire a shot across his body to the spot he vacated. I almost had him too, but he was just able to get a piece of the puck with his right arm. My best opportunity came when my linemate fed me the puck in front of the net for a one-timer. I unloaded, but drilled the puck into the goalie’s facemask. I had one more solid opportunity later in the game. Right off the faceoff, my center drew the puck to his right where I was. Although I had the opposing defenseman draped all over me, I was able to protect the puck, spin and fire a forehand shot which the goalie paddled away.
