Tonight at hockey, I had Jello legs. They felt floppy and free and almost weightless.

For a goalie, that's awesome. I usually have stiff legs, which slows down my reaction time. Today, I was dropping down fast and my legs were kicking out like nothing. In particular, I usually have difficulty kicking out my left leg...today, it was just popping out to make saves on a whim.

Also, I took a hard shot right to the nipple. Right on the freakin' nipple. And I think it hit on one the seams in the foam, where there's a little less padding. It stung, and tingled for the longest time.

I hope it bruises. I like bruises. Goaltender-related bruises, that is.
