An incredible game last night. We played really well, made crisp, clean
passes and had great communication on our really big bench. We played Here For Beer, and both their
ringers were playing.
We had four forward lines and three defensive pairings, which
made for a really crowded bench. Luckily
everyone was paying attention to who was on the ice and keeping shifts short-
so everyone got to get in at least 3 shifts per period. We scored first, but Here For Beer was able
to score two unanswered goals- one while we were on the power play. We were able to tie it in the second period. We got called for a few really bad calls, and
on one of the penalties Here For Beer was able to score again. With about two minutes left, we took a time
out and decided to put our best players on the ice to try and tie it up. Right off the face off, we did. The score at the end of regulation was
3-3. We went into our first shootout of
the season, and after 7 or 8 rounds, we won with 2 shootout goals to 1! Tyler was awesome.
After the injuries and the head shaking from last week, it
was the probably the most fun I’ve had in a game all season. I played a hard and involved game, getting a
few shots on goal and nearly a 2nd assist on our second goal. Good stuff!
It was our last game of the regular season. None of the games last night changed the standings,
so we finished in second. We’ll play
Here For Beer next week in the first round of the playoffs. I really want to beat them again and play in
the championship- that would top the season of firsts.
