I just got home & the trap was used big time down there
& we played absolutely terrible Friday (Lammy did OK & yes Big Joe stunk the place up - but I still love him & think he has improved a lot this yr)
You can't play 5 to 10 minutes in the 3rd & expect to win Not scoring 5 on 3 was shameful
I was really bummed out
But sat next to some (actually very nice & knowledgeable) Goopher fans
Played much better Sat. but the Goophers Fans all thought CC was gassed from the night before
I'm tired but love the X & the whole tournament environment down there - but it all goes by way too fast
Met Siouxcia & Sioux momma & families
What is weird about staying in hotels in St Paul, near the X, is about the time you kinda figure out the walkways & streets (it's time to go home)
Puck luck & goalies can decide who wins from here on out - as there are many good teams & goalies this yr
Kangas appears to be the real deal
Glad I have tomorrow off too
