<<     Plus, my hockey team was busy upsetting the first-place team in the
 playoff semi-finals yesterday... 9 to 5 (they had an amazingly fast guy on
 their team, who kept getting all sorts of crazy-mad breakaways...), too...
 not even a close score.  We crushed 'em.  :)  So now we get to get
 absolutely mauled next week, when we play the third place team in the
 finals.  They're a bunch of Budweiser-fueled bruisers... the fun kind of
 team to play... they get angry for no reason, and start hitting people when
 they get behind... but hey, even if we lose, we're still in second place...
 not bad considering we ended the regular season in 5th place.  :) >>
	<reminicsing>......We waited in the stands for the outcome of the final
regular season game to see if we made it to the playoffs, all after we tied
the undefeated first place team.
We needed a team with one win on the season to get their 2nd win for us to
make it.  It was 3-0 against our hopes in the third period, when some scrawny
punk on the last place team found the net 4 times.  Wild stuff.
        We won the first round easy enough, then in overtime of the third
semi-final game(series is only 2 out of 3) I was making a mad dash to gaurd
the sniper on the point when I shot was deflected, hit the boards and shot
back the other way, and I was the only man headed in that direction, I picked
up the puck in the corner, went behind the net and looked to feed someone in
front, 3 red jerseys, not a single white one(as I was wearing).
         One teammate was flying down so, I threw it out in front, but it hit
off a defender and into the net, and WE WERE IN THE FINALS!!!!  I never have
celebrated after a goal, not even when we played at the Kiel Center(where the
St. Louis Blues play), but I was jumping up and down.
          Then we went on to sweep the 1st place team 2-0 and 3-1 in the
finals. <end flashback>
Hey, CONGRATS!!!  You never know how it will turn out. :)
