Today I finally got it done. I scored the first goal in my rec league career.
I had a great chance in the 1st period. I got the puck in the slot and basically had an open lane to the net. I took a step and fired a wrist shot. The opposing goalie made a great glove save. A lot of guys on our team really thought that was going in. I was a little disappointed myself - it was one of the best shots I've had this year.
In the 2nd period, we had the puck in the offensive zone. We had been dominating at times and our line was buzzing. I positioned myself in front of the net as I have been doing lately. One of our wings took a shot that the goalie stopped but left a juicy rebound. There wasn't a defender near me. I had a wide open net. Took a backhand shot that easily went in. I let out a "YEAH!" but didn't really celebrate. I got a few high fives from my team mates. It felt good to get that monkey off my back.
The goal turned out to be the game winning goal as we won, 5-1. I had a few more chances but didn't get another goal. I thought it was the best game I had played to date. Now that I have one, the next one will be much easier, right?
