Congrats! Seriously, that's awesome that you were able to pull it off. I can definitely relate to the "happier than any adult should be" feeling.
Regarding the difficulty, I agree that it should be fairly tough to do and shouldn't happen all that often. But consider that so far this season, there have been a total of 177 blocked kicks. On average, that's almost 1.4 per team. With a couple weeks to go, it's looking like we'll end up around 200/1.6 by the time the season is done. I agree that it shouldn't be too easy to do manually (I'd kinda prefer a random event to prevent spamming) or happen all the time but I would like to see it happen during 1-2 of my games every season, on average.
