A good week

Well what a good week its been! Last week for me was a tough week of rehab. I was rehabbing an injury that i got from blocking a shot with prrrreeeeetty much no time left on the clock. Brutal, so from now on I’m just going to pull the old flamingo and let the goalies with the big pads on do all the stopping! haha  So last week was a tough on of just trying to get some grease back on the hinge there! The knee locked up for a while after that shot so bending and stretching and lifting was a tough rehab, but was a good rough!! But to help me hang in there for my first missed games of my pro career my parents flew in for a short trip, hoping to see me play but instead got a whole lotta Zak time! hahah I was thankful for them though for someone to hang with during the games and shoot the bull, so it was a relief!

Than this week the olympics started, and i’ve literally become obsessed! I cant stop watching the dang stuff. I have never been a plan your day around a sitcom or a TV series like I know alot of people do, but Olympics wise, I’ve now become that, i find myself going to the gym in between broadcast and even eating dinner before prime time! ha ha I just cant help it, there’s just something inspiring about watching people so passionate about there sports, I just cant get enough of it! And i mean sometimes you even catch a babe flying around in there and thats just an added bonus! haha

So thank you Olympics for making this week fly by and get me closer to returning to the ice! My rehab is finished and I’ve been skating all week trying to come back in better shape and a better player than before i got injured. Thats one thing that I’ve always tried to do is when you get injured or enter a set back look for things that you can do during them that will end in a positive! So these weeks i’ve been able to work on my hands alot more than i was before and also my shot, so my goal of coming back better is I hope going to be a reality because of the hard work to get back!

So I hope to see you all at the hive, cheering us on in our last 16 or so games in our final push to the playoffs!!! after all we have alot of good divisional games left, so you gotta think, “there’s no better thing to control than your own destiny eh!”

here’s a clip for sir sting…. i mean everyone is cutting edge and if he wants mascott of the year, he might need to do some of this! haha heads up ice girls!!!

    The Olympics in person are even MORE obsessive Zak! Seeing men & women Live & In person who are so passionate and dedicated about sports is AWESOME!!! Glad they inspired you to rehab. Looking forward to seeing you back on the ice :)
