Unfortunately I didn’t get to see all of the game last night - I watched the first, and the first eight minutes of the second, and then went out to Ultimate practice. When I left, the Habs were winning 2-0, and had pretty much dominated the game - playing as well as I’ve seen them play this year in the playoffs. I thought I’d hit record, then pause, but apparently I’d only hit pause, so when I came home at about 8:45, the receiver was playing what had happened at 7:45 (hour long pause buffer…) Anyway, that meant that there was only about 2:30 left in the game, with Montreal winning 3-2. I don’t think the puck left the Habs’ end after that, until the overtime, during which they played well, but got beat. That’s the the thing about sudden death - it only takes one shot to win or lose, no matter how you’re playing.

So, I’m kind of upset with myself, since I didn’t get to see a good piece of the game, and can’t judge for myself what happened. Oh well, at least Ultimate practice was fun. I learned how to throw the disc backhand, and we practiced it so much that I almost forgot how to throw it forehand. We played a quick scrimmage, just to see how the game is played, and from my inexperienced perspective it looked like we were playing “herd-ball” - we didn’t really follow any kind of strategy, and it wasn’t good. I suspect that we’ll get our butts handed to us a couple of times, then we’ll smarten up.

We got to play in a good stiff breeze, which made for some difficult throwing conditions. Overall I don’t think I’m going to be very good at Ultimate, but I’ll have fun trying anyway. It’ll definately get me back into some semblance of shape at any rate. That’s a lot of running around.

It’s pretty quiet around here today - a couple of people on holidays, a couple of people sick, and suddenly half the floor is gone. It doesn’t help that half the floor is actually currently empty - the rest of the IS department is being moved in over the next two weeks.
