November 27-30

The last four days of the month were quiet save for Monday lunch at the mall, Wednesday lunch with Jenny and two nights of dek hockey at Reservoir Park. The best-of-five West Finals began on Tuesday and continued on Thursday, the week ended with the Owls up 2-0 over the Kings. Thursday night was interesting in that there was rain forecast for later in the evening but it arrived while we were playing. It was a nuisance but nothing that was stopping us, within a half hour of the game ending the rain was gone as well. We started this season two weeks later than expected and as it stands we're only one day behind where we'd be had we started on time. If the league would have started on September 19 as planned we would have played two nights a week for seven weeks with no weather interruptions ending on November 2. Playoffs would have been scheduled to start on the 7th, the rainout that night would have pushed it back to the 9th. The East Finals and West Semifinals would have all ended on the 16th, the West Finals would have started on the 21st and continued after the holiday break with game #2 on the 28th instead of the 30th. The series plays again on Monday the 4th, games beyond that if needed are on the 5th and 7th. It's been some time since the season extended into December which is why it feels like we're way behind but the fact remains we're only one date off the pace, having only that one postponement for weather was definitely a plus. Take care, thanks for reading.
