The comeback first.

Wow.

Down 2-0 half-way through the game, the Monkeys comeback to beat the Blue Jackets 3-2 in the sole “playoff” game of the July - September session.

Some shots from the game:

Last one to the ice is ... Kathy

Chris fighting for position at a faceoff

Pete got us on the board first, and then assisted on the game tying goal for two points.  The game winner was an awesome blast from the point by Brian Hauburg that I had to watch from the stands because of this: 

Same ankle, different injury..

Not my natural color

A bag of used zamboni ice should help

I remember innocently skating into the path of a Blue Jacket to allow Pete to play the puck against the boards, I remember getting bumped as said Blue Jacket was trying to get around me, and then I remember feeling my ankle smash against the boards and then ending up twisted under my weight. 

I don’t remember a whole lot about being helped off the ice except for the banging of sticks against the boards when I was apparently upright.  That part was cool.

After some rest, some icing, and some elevation (the R.I.C.E method, just without the compression), I still can’t put weight on it, so we’ll see how long it’ll be before I can skate again.

The new session starts October 4th with a practice — I’ll update the roster in the sidebar and post the schedule as soon as I get it.
