Oh my.

My glasses got mangled at the very beginning (due to an unfortunate collision with a six-four, two-hundred-something-pound guy (I'm five-five, one-thirty), and I am almost legally blind without them. So I played the rest of the game without my glasses, and outscored every other player put together. I guess hockey's just my game. 'Course, I'm worthless in ice skates - I have not one but *two* bad ankles. -=siGh=-
