Got beat earlier today by the best team in the league, which to be honest we were expecting. However todays was just rediculous, im not going to say the score but suffice to say that i am feeling more than a little sh*t.
I mean, the things that were getting past me couldve been stopped by a peewee on his first day. I wasnt covering up, wasnt mopping up rebounds or preventing them at all, and some of the things i did were just plain stupid.
Now ive lost worse than this in the past but todays was just horrible because we were doing pretty well untill the 3rd and it all went. Usually if i let one in i can convince myself that it wasnt my fault, that the D was bad, or there was someone in my way or whatever and it wont really affect me, and i learn from it. But a lot of today was purely my fault. It was getting so bad in the 3rd that our captain actually came up to me, took my trapper, got down on the ground and showed me how to cover a puck (taking the piss obviously and i think he was pretty angry, but so was i and him embarassing me further did not help.
)
In all honestly the rest of the team played pretty badly as well, and my defence was at times appalling, and in the 3rd the other team was obviously going all out, but that doesnt excuse my playing.
I guess basically what i'm asking is how do you come back from the crappest game youve ever played?
