Tonight, we leave to play the Texas Tornado this weekend. I think I had a good day of practice today, even though I ended up "winning" the Bender Bucket at the end of practice today. It's a competition where everyone takes their turn on breakaways, and the last one to score gets the Bender Bucket and has to wear it during the pregame skate. I have an excuse, though, because my stick broke on my first turn, and the rest of the time I had to use my backup, which I wasn't very used to...but I'm still the Bender of the week. No excuses.
I'm starting to get over my nerves and just play my game. I still really believe that I can make a difference here right away, and I know I have a great opportunity to prove myself this weekend. No pressure, though. I am going to play well because I know I can, and I'm going to do my best to not put pressure on myself because that's when I tend to crack and make mistakes. I have to realize that I'm going to make mistakes, and I am just going to go out there and play like I have nothing to lose. Because I really don't in the grand scheme of things. Again, I know that I have a lot more things going for me than just hockey, and I know I can play with these guys.
have fun
