Championship game was bright and early at 8 AM ... the team that we were playing was Prime Evil (Alberta) . We played them in our first game and had won 7-2 . We knew they were going to come harder this time as they did alot of whining after losing the first time . Once the game began we all put our game faces on .
We came out flat , the first period was really close . Prime Evil had a breakaway quite early that i stopped with a glove on the ice near the post :) , not too shortly after that we scored our first goal . A nice tip in ( i think ) .... Going into second period we had a 1-0 lead . Throughout the tournament we had avoided having the ice cleared between second and third periods because the rules say that the game has to be within 2 goals and we were determined to keep our streak in tact. After the second it was 3-0 ....
The third period was hectic and i had to make yet another breakaway save . We had to kill alot of penalties as we were all tired and the refs were calling everything . They broke my shutout with about 4 minutes left in the game but it did not bother me , i was determined to stay focused ! Almost immediately we went down the ice and scored again to bury them :) .... final was 4-1 ... ECG Scanning Hockey Club A Division Champions !!!!!
We went for lunch at Duke's on the beach and then went to meet the rest of the gang at the Sheraton hotel to go to our banquet . The banquet was totally uneventful , basically said bye to the guys on the team and gave Terry a ride to the airport with us as he was on our plane .... thanks for pitching in on gas Terry !
The person above is my guardian angel , his name is Daniel Laplante ! Basically i am in LAX now confused lost and pissed off beyond belief ( again ) . When Toby and myself arrived here we knew he had to catch flight early and i had later flight . Toby is gone and next thing you know someone at the front desk here asks me to wait then they tell me i am being put onto another flight in a middle seat in Economy . I said i am Business , i was tired and have not slept in over a day now .... basically they failed to tell me my flight was delayed and were trying to move my bags . I said no unknowingly .... when i got to gate and checked about my bag the agent said i was on standby for another flight and my bags were going onto that plane . WELL i went to get onto that plane and they did not let me on ???? I am going to be really blunt about this so close your ears children .... the people working here for Air Canada must be inbred or something , WTF ! They won't confirm my seat and i couldn't even get into the Lounge ??? policies changed in the last week apparently , and the bitch at the front desk really was no help and turned her back on me ... right now i would love to hit her with a shovel or something ...... back to the pic above, Daniel saw me in disarray and came to the desk and said hi to me and pretended to be my friend to get me in :) yes what a great gesture . I wish i could buy him a beer but it is free in here HAHAHA.....
Anyways my flight is delayed by about 4 or 5 hours now and not scheduled at all for now ... so i am in limbo , i don't know when i will arrive and i will be lucky if my hockey equipment makes it with me . Next thing i am doing is filing a complaint as today is not exactly in line with the term customer service.... if you are playing in Summit Tournament this weekend then don't expect to see me at the Hootenanny , so tired . Hope all of you are having a better day then me .... i miss Hawaii !
