Rink Rats Pickup Game!

I had a fantastic time shooting the pickup game tonight; I have well over 900 images to get through, but I'll be throwing more up here as time permits me to edit. :-)

Wow I’m surprised you got this up so fast! It was so much fun meeting everyone and I can’t wait to see you all again soon! :)

Annd I hope no one posts that really dumb photo of me from early on in the evening, haha. I probably looked horrible!

Aw, wish I could’ve been there. When will there be another Rink meetup of any sort?

Either way, good job! I loved the suit!

I am easily satisfied with the very best

Oh, I had tons of fun. Glad everyone enjoyed it so much. I’m now resting my throat and drinking a huge thing of water. Needed that.

I don’t care what you say, mustache or not I’m sexy.

I’ll disagree, but damned if you weren’t the best player on the ice tonight. That was what it was all about, too, right?

And let’s pretend the banter tossed about during the game was pleasant and complimentary. If nothing else, it was pretty funny.

Best player? Ha! You had more at Bailey’s than you think you did.

Best Offensive Player. And in pick up, they’re the only ones who matter.

So true.

Wait, you mean someone actually thought they were playing defense?

You’re like Jeff Schultz; you only got your +7 because you spent so much time on ice with Mike Green (I’m just glad Jordan didn’t snap my stick with that slash or I would have been ruined).

Ha. At least I don’t buy ugly gloves because they are on holiday sale.

I got them before the holiday sales! That’s what makes them special.

Speaking of Sarge...

Despite my JPRink handle and size, I did my best trying to do numerous impressions of 55 tripping up against a certain speedy+shifty NYR forward during last year’s playoff near-disaster. The only difference? I didn’t bust my ankles. Tailbone is sore though!

How did I end up being pressed into blueliner duties for the better part of the night??? Had a blast though and appreciated everyone’s enthusiasm.
