Illness still lingering, a computer not loading, and a team not making the playoffs. Can't get much better than that. A busy past couple weeks that are not the most friendly.
As one sickness leaves, another attacks when I'm weak. Not enough to keep me bedridden, but still enough to keep me slouching around like a sloth. Then my head bouncing around making me feeling like an illiterate fool.
Living with the family can be fun, but my dad lives like he is still in the 60's. According to him, a computer is pretty much only need for work and school. When it comes to personal reasons, well, it's all about him and playing poker. Yet he acts totally surprised when all four of us need to be on at once for school/work. On top of that, nothing wanting to load just makes things totally great.
Then the best(worse) for last, as the Wolves just suffered a 3-2 loss to Milwaukee, playoff chances are statistically eliminated. It seems like majority of fans had already given up on on the playoffs, but I guess I can say I was one of those who held on to that slim bit of hope(although not much confidence behind it).
The effort in some of the past games was pretty pathetic and tonight wasn't much better. Names that come to mind of guys who stuck out(in a good way) are Jordan Lavallee, Matt Anderson, Brett Sterling, & Mike Hamilton. Haven't found many good things to say about the defense as of late, and tonight really is no exception.
The Wolves started off with a sloppy first period giving up all three of Milwaukee's goals. There have been mixed views on Skinner's play, whether he was a good asset to his team. I found much more things I was happy with, compared to faults I found in his play. Although tonight just gives a big red "X". Just coming from behind the net to lead a rush into the offensive zone on the PP; the usual. But unlike the usual, Skinner makes a faulty play in his on zone, giving up possession and letting Milwaukee soar the puck over Krahn's glove. From there nothing really seemed to go right.
With less than three minutes left in third, Joe Motzko lit the lamp, sliding one past on his knees. With so little time it really didn't draw much spark, as even Motzko has a disgusted look on his face after that. Less than a minute later though, Brett Sterling got one through and it definitely had a change. The smile shown on guys like Lavallee & Steve Martins as they saw the puck hit the back of the net gave clear to they knew it wasn't over. With the last shred of hope they had, they definitely were hungry for the puck and were getting their chances, but couldn't capitalize.
Guess we get to save money on playoff tickets. *Shrug* Unfortunate, for I was hoping to put my photography skills to the test more than one more time this season. Was never big on photography, but was catching more of my interest as of late. So I took my father's camera to the game on the 28th and tested out my skills. I had done it before, but only gave it a few shots.
Here are some of the photos I came out with:
I know the quality isn't great and I shrunk them down quite a bit, but these would be some of best out of the 100+ which I took(including the one up top). Wish I had more than just April 11th to give this camera another shot behind the glass, but the classes I'll take will give me time to improve and such.
Another thing in addition, is Pavelec getting recalled from from the Wolves & making the switch with Dan Turple. Honestly, I've been hoping for Krahn to get the start for quite some time & giving the work-horse Pavs a break. Unfortunately Krahn's start in quite some time had him behind an unorganized team. Can't exactly say Pavs would have been a better choice behind the pipes, as it didn't seem Milwaukee had too many quality chances, but either way, that is the past. Hope to see him start for the last few games.
