Five For Fighting

As I’m getting though this first game of APBA Hockey, I don’t think I’m making *that* many mistakes, but halfway into the second period:

  • Sharks are up 6-2 on the Flames
  • I decided to pull Mike Vernon for Jeff Reese for the Flames
  • Link Gaetz got into a fight with Neil Sheehy, both got 5 minute penalties, and Sheehy got a game misconduct and was ejected

Mah boy.

AHA! Moment 2?

After playing one period of APBA Hockey, I felt oddly… calm, almost at peace with the universe.

One pass through the rule book and I seemed to have gotten most of it down, in addition to a few suggested hints on play along the way.

The result was a period of tabletop hockey that reminded me of and felt like actually being at a hockey game.

After I finish this game up (tonight, I hope) I’ll tackle Strat-O-Matic Hockey, and if I’m really adventurous, I may pull out In the Crease Hockey.

Stay tuned!
