Can only worry about what is in my power

Here is a picture of our officiating team before the semis, Karen, Me, Merja, Risto and our Director of Officials Leslie.

Well this week I felt I had did some of the best officiating in my career. There were a couple of off points but, on a whole, I felt really good for the entire week. Now it comes down to the games that are assigned for Saturday. The down side, Karen (the other Canada ref) and I haven't reffed together at all during the week. I believe it was set up that there would always be a Finnish ref and and Canadian ref on each game. When it comes to the finals, this means there is only one spot available for Karen and I. She had a good week too, so would just have to wait and see. After the semis on Friday we had our nightly meeting and found out that Karen and Risto would be doing the gold game and Merja and I would be doing the bronze. I was disappointed as I felt I did everything I could, but at the same time that doesn't take away from what Karen and Risto did, so I can't worry too much about it. I think I had a very good week, and heard as much from most of the coaches, so I am happy overall with my performance. There will be other gold games and other opportunities for me.

It is off to bed after a lengthy late phone call from home.
