Over two months, actually.. That’s how long since my last blog post.

Lots to cover here, first the hockey.

We’re well in to the 2008 Winter season, almost finished actually. A big welcome to the new Monkeys on the roster, Jon Elliot, Grant “PIM” Howell, Jon-Michael Garza, and Jeff  Thompson.  I’ll update the roster in the sidebar ASAP.

With Saturday’s 3-1 win over the Blackhawks, we currently sit at 4-4-0 — .500 hockey.  We’re a bit off of last season’s performance, possibly due to the turnover and having a much smaller bench in most games this season, but it looks like we’re starting to gel a bit now.

The ankle is still only about 80-90%, but I can still play on it without being bothered too much.  I just can’t do certain things  (cross-overs, stopping to the right, etc.)  It should hopefully get stronger as it continues to heal.

I’m having a better year statistically with a goal and two assists in 7 games (Pointstreak is giving me two goals, but one of those was Dan’s that I got the assist on), but I’m not reading much in to them.  It took me a good three or four games to shake off the rust after the time-off, and I still don’t feel as good on the ice as I did last season, stats notwithstanding.

More to come!
