It went downhill from there.

Ice is a very strange medium.

I know. It's pretty crazy.

They said if you're in shape, then get on a plane at noon, pass a physical, and then we'll sign you.

I was going to finish out the season, see if I got picked up and try to get into a training camp for next year. Give it one more shot. If that didn't happen, kind of brush up the resume and go find something else to do.

And then I was unemployed for a while.
