Basement hockey season

The NHL season remains in question. The UMD Bulldogs just lost to Notre Dame (a game I was quite proud to figure out AJ could watch online since it wasn't shown on TV). And it's too dark to play in the driveway after dinner.
 
What's a hockey-obsessed fan to do? Recruit Dad to join him downstairs for some intense one-on-one action.
 
 
For goals, they use furniture. Jeff defends the opening under my old white desk, while AJ protects the opening under the kids picnic table. (When I play against AJ, we switch sides. The desk is a far bigger space, making it easier for me to score.)

 
The tongue should give you a clue. AJ takes this very seriously.

 
Every so often, the game gets interrupted by "the Zamboni".

 
And what was the final score? According to AJ, "Let's just say I won 8-7. I was losing 7-6, but then Dad said 'next goal wins' because his neck was hurting, and I scored so I won."
