This was a home game, so I was operating the 1's and 2's (aka the scoreboard). Nimbus was doing her part on the bleachers. Asperatus was recovering from too much human contact and was reportedly at home "chillin' with the chickens." I wish I could do that!
As for the game, almost all hands were on deck for the Lightning, and the Bourbon Wall was back in net. She reportedly slept in her bulky goalie gear. What was rousing was that everybody who played last night - and drank bloody Marys and draft beer last night - was here looking to redeem themselves. Amanita, Hlin, Vito, MJ, Vapo Rub, Nicole's Friend, Timbers, Bourbon Wall were eager to be rid of the taste of losing in their mouths: yeech! And the rinsing agent would be the Madison Thunder, whom the Lightning thrashed in their season-opening double-header. Helping them rinse: Snutch, Black Locust, The Bearcat. Cheers for two lines!
The Thunder was much improved from that inauspicious start of their season. But the rested Black Locust was on fire: she registered a couple of assists, benefiting first Amanita and then The Bearcat. The Bourbon Wall faced 13 shots and turned aside them all for her umpteenth shutout.
Without Coach TR, Coach HH, or Assistant Coach Johnny Bye-Bye, the team relied on the wise words of The Bearcat, who had spent time last season actually coaching today's opponent!

The Lightning won 3-0. A game that was actually tighter than it should have been. Game puck goes to the Black Locust. Cherish it.

Notes: I ate a veggie burger from Jordan's Big 10 Pub afterwards. That burger is underrated. None of my football teams won (with apologies to the lone commenter to this journal - and a public acknowledgement of respect to Evil Bill). Jodie Foster FTW (sort of in a rambling way, um, huh?). And - spoiler alert - EDITH!!!!!!
