Football+Chili+Hockey = Fries Roadtrip

The Fries hit the road this weekend up north for a game against the Bellingham women's hockey team. And, what did we learn from this trip? Let's see: take more shots; better to shoot across the net as opposed to wide of the net (which at least forces the goalie to move to the other side of the net); Amanda is a damn good player (but we all knew that already, hmph); April and Joemarie are goons :-); jalapenos go really well in April's homemade chili; her homemade croutons go even better with her mushroom soup; Mike makes an awesome almond butter cookie; tossing a football is a great way to warm up, and; Mi-La has one heckuva arm! It was pretty clear who hung out with their brothers in the backyard tossing around a football.

The final score was 6-1. Lee scored an awesome goal by picking up the puck after a faceoff in mid-ice and skating it all the way in and backhanding it into the net when the goalie went down. Nice move, Wicked Wrister! And, that was pretty much our highlight for the night. The rest of the night, we were mesmerized by Amanda's skating and puck handling and unable to keep up with the tic-tac passes of the Bellingham women.

Now, that was one game where we were dominated by another team. Our previous game which was played against Black Ice, was a *very close game*. Evidentally, the holiday break had an impact on their conditioning, as well, because the lack of oxygen led to grand, delusional claims that they dominated the game. Ha! Yes, Black Ice may won the game, but the shots on goal was close to being even. Guess we'll have to see who is right in a couple of weeks....watch out, Black Ice, because you won't be able to take the heat from the Fries!
