Derby Day After

It was derby night last night. We got there a little after 5, and it was already crowded. People must be lining up before 5. That is so, so cool. We ended up getting really good seats in the front row again. We might try sitting in the floor next time. Seeing the action up close is great.
I couldn't believe the change in speed from last bout to this one. The pack must have been moving twice as fast. Lots more penalties, lots more action.

A couple of skaters really stood out to me for their style. Dang, if I could skate like Goody Twoskates on the High Rollers. She's unbelievable. It doesn't matter what position she's playing, she's an important part of every jam. She's always in the action. And she skates SO hard. Soul Train from the Heartless Heathers was incredible too. She always had her eyes on the action. Constantly looking over her shoulder, seeing what's playing out, and effecting the play. They are both totally strategic players. And spent a bit of time in the penalty box, which I enjoyed as well. When you skate hard, things happen.
