the flood gates have opened...

This time last year, I had a lot of points as a rookie defensemen going into Christmas break. The only reason why I really worry about my own stats so much is because I get rewarded by my parents if I'm playing well, which is always nice no one can argue that. I was starting to get a little disappointed in myself when I realized that we were about 8 or 9 games in and I wasn't really close to where I was last year at this time. I had high hopes for the upcoming weekend however, and I started off the weekend by scoring with a slapshot from the point on a power play. I kept getting scoring chances and I kept either getting unlucky or having the goalie steal it from me. Finally I fired the puck past the goalie, maybe even through the goalie's five hole, and that was how the flood gates opened. The next game, we weren't expected to win. Well, as it turns out, we won and I scored another goal and assisted 3 other goals. My parents needless to say were very pleased with my performance. In the last game we played, I recorded another assist and I think that because I've been so consistent and the team has been doing well, my parents will make Christmas extra special for me. I don't actually know what I want, but they usually make it really nice anyway. Can't wait.
