Imagine my happiness when I saw this entry on Digg: Scientists Uncover Key to Hockey Goalie Success. Finally, I would eat the fruit of goalie enlightenment! My enthusiasm waned when I read the article. It seems that they key to success as a goalie is to watch the puck. Wow, thanks Captain Obvious!

Sunday night brought the first game of the season for me. The good news is that my team seems a lot better than it did last year. I made a number of solid saves and was feeling pretty good. The bad news is that we were still outshot 38-28 and lost the game 3-4. The troubling thing is that one of those four goals was deflected in by my own defenseman (arg!).

Despite that, it was fun, and I look forward to the twenty or so remaining games.
