My 'Old Boys' hockey team has had a less-than-auspicious season this year. I could chalk this up to the fact that we've lost a few key players from last year (including the league leading scorer) and the fact that we've got a 72 year-old guy ('Denmark's Oldest Ice Hockey Player'!) on our team who's about as useful as a pylon whenever he's on the ice, but the fact is there is a huge talent range within our league and my team is on the short end of this range. For example - some guys who used to play for the Danish National Team play in my league, but not on my team.
As a result, we were 0-6-1 (or something, I've stopped counting) until we actually won a close-fought game 3-2 last Thursday. I didn't score although I hit the post on a breakaway and had an all-around good game.
I was still on a high Friday morning when I told Susan about the win. "You guys won?" she said. "How embarrassing for the other team."
Oh, she's a comedienne, my wife.
[update: we tied tonight, so we have a 'non-losing streak' of two games]
