2 goals for Mr.Murphy











Last night was one of the best nights of my life (I have been saying that to myself quiet often since my arrival in Long Beach) and I have some pictures to prove just how great it was.


I have my number 11 jersey, I am wearing number 11 because my coach Dmitriy Zharov wore that number when he was a player. Dmitriy has been teaching me how to skate and play hockey for a few months now and because of him (and some hard work and commitment on my part) I have had an amazing game 1 in my hockey life.



I scored a powerplay goal on my first shot of the game, it was a very nice play in which I scored 5 hole and on a breakaway (I still dont know why that team didnt have any players on their own blue line but its all good to me).



The second goal was a complete garbage goal, the puck was shot from the right side and the goalie made the save...and dropped it right in front of me. So I put it into his net for him :)


I think that after playing a few more games with these guys "Saturday Knights" I am going to have to play the level above "initation". It wasnt very challenging or competative. The playoffs start in a 5 weeks and if we win like 4 of our next 5 games I think we can get home ice advantage for the first round of the playoffs.


If anyone is interested in seeing me play some hockey just let me know and I will hook you up with some free tickets!
