Pirates won the championship last night.



I'm not sure who was more surprised, our team or theirs. Last in the division beat first seed, coming back from 2-4 in the second to win 5-4 in twelve minutes of overtime.

I had a sort-of assist, but as everyone was on the ice leaping up and down and hugging each other, a detached part of me berated myself for my lack of contribution.

Then I woke up and realized I'd skated my heart out the entire game as usual. We played two lines of offense, two lines of defense.

And it was a team that won, not any one individual.
