Game Day, Game 4:  Wednesday, October 1, 2003 Lightning v. Burnaby Bandits

 

We were playing the Thiefs, no the Burglars, no the Heisters, no the Criminals, no it was the Bandits,

and they were trying to steal a game from us, and they almost did.  There was no goalie, no Liz and

no Sue at game time, Michelle offered, but we vetoed that, next we tried the last person in has to be

goalie, but we couldn't remember who came in last.  So, our intrepid Finnish girl Maija went down the

hall and found one from the 5th Division I think.  Her name was Rachelle (sp?) and she was from the

Snipers, but she is now known as Bootsie or Go Go Goalie, and let me tell you that name fits her to

a tee.  After the game, she put on her street clothes, oh 24 inch brown leather boots.  They scored,

we scored, we scored, they scored ... not sure what order things really happened in, but it was basically

the last shot wins, and it was us with a thrilling 5-4 victory. 

We had another newcomer, Natalie Christiansen, well not new really, but recycled, as she played for

the Lightning a few years back when she just "needed to have some fun at the game again" and fun

she did have, right? it was us who turned her career around and got her back on track, oh Val,

are you crying yet?  Midder, we missed you, we heard you may be engaged, ahahhahahhaa. 

Next up, the Flyers again on Wednesday, October 8, 2003 at 8:45 p.m. (Sue, did you get that?)
