Okay, so I had my practice and my stick performed beyond my expectations. I will give you examples:
EXAMPLE 1: We were playing in a "scrimmage" practice game and I skated up the ice. I shot a whizdinger of a shot, it hit the goalie in the shoulder and bounced to the left (my left, not his. I was facing the other way). I got the puck on my backhand near the red line - LIKE MAYBE 6 INCHES IN FRONT - and I fired a backhand shot at an impossible angle. What? Impossible, you say? Oh really? I ROOFED A SHOT OFF THE CROSSBAR AND IN THE GOAL! This is something I have never done. My stick hummed in my hands and everyone sighed and smiled. The world was a better place. People around the rink (There may have been about 1,000 people, or maybe less) began to rhythmically clap their hands as I held my stick aloft like a latter-day Excalibur. I love my stick.
EXAMPLE 2: I got mad at a guy and hit him with my stick. He fell over, clutching his back. MY STICK HAS THE POWER TO KNOCK OVER PEOPLE AND HURT THEIR BACK.
I told you my stick was magic.
I have a game on Friday. I cannot wait. I have started carrying my stick everywhere I go. I got the stink-eye from the local shopkeep. My boss has been giving me strange looks in meetings. They do not yet know the power of the stick. If they don't quit with the stink-eye they may get an EXAMPLE 2.
