kissing your sister

Played hockey last night -- ended in a 3-3 tie.

I played D, but I got one goal and two assists, which was nice.

Toward the end of the game, I got in an opposing player's face because it looked to me like he took a cut at the back of our goalie's glove after our goalie had covered the puck. This is a big no-no in hockey -- the goalies are pretty vulnerable in their bulky pads, and you could break their hand if you hit it right with your stick.

Anyway, it's the defensman's job to protect his goalie -- when I'm playing center, for example, if I'm messing around with their goalie in any way, I expect to get roughed up and shoved around by their D.

So the point of my long and boring story is that the other player and I ended up shoving and yelling into each other's faces (it's part of the game -- a little intimidation sometimes helps your side) and we both got penalties for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The other guy was still mouthing from the penalty box, and then one of our guys said something, and the ref thought it was me saying it, and he gave me a 10-minute game misconduct. Which was annoying since I hadn't even said anything after getting sent off.

So then nothing else happened, and after the game we all shook hands and went home. The End.
