Wow. That’s about how I can summarize the Knoxville Ice Bears game I saw yesterday. Tim and I went to this game not knowing what to expect and boy were we suprised as the night just seemed to get better and better as the game continued.

This night will just go down as one of those experiences that no one else will fully understand but here’s a few tidbits: alcohol wristbands sponsored by a local law firm, hospital bed races, no penalties, atv burnouts in front of children, liabilty heaven and team encouraged chants that end with “You Suck!”

Oh yeah, I had one of the best salads I’ve ever had before the game at a place called Trio.

Well the last two nights we played against the UCF Ice Bulls. We played hard but with only one practice a week we really can’t be expected to play as cohesive as we should be.

The guys from UCF aren’t individually as talented as we are, I think, but they make for that and then some with how they work the puck around and how they play together.

On Friday, Bents played, and even after a weak first period, we came out strong in the last 2 and came away with a 5-2 loss.

Saturday was my turn and I was ready to kick some Bull ass all by myself. I came out strong and made some critical saves to keep my guys in it during the first half of the first. However, the guys from UCF worked the puck around and got some quality shots that resulted in a few goals. I’m not sure if I didn’t stop them because they were genuinely good shots or because I have been to a single practice all season; regardless, they were good enough shots to get past me.

I stayed in it until the end, along with a few of it teamates, and we did the best we good.

Overall it was fun game even though we didn’t come away with the W.
