2 point night (maybe three...) | December 03, 2006 | 02:20

I was halfway to the subway when I realized I was still wearing my glasses. En route to my hockey game tonight, I decided I was too close to the train to go home and put the contacts in, so I just forged on.

My helmet fit fine over my specs, but they fogged up pretty well ... the same way a plastic face-shield does, which is why I use a cage.

The glasses didn't keep me from scoring the first goal, though, starting the 6-2 rout of our opponent. I picked up an assist on the game winner, too ... and I apologize if it sounds like I'm gloating; we've played five games and I've scored three goals, so I'm not tearing up the league or anything. They're not a frequent thing for me. I had one goal for all of last season, and it wasn't even a pretty one.

Still, winning our fifth straight tonight was great. I love playing with this team, not just because a lot of the guys are really good, but also for us playing well together as a team.

Not much else to expound upon tonight. I'm pretty beat.

Baseball's playoff slogan was "I live for this" ... which is true for me with hockey. It's the greatest damn sport.
