We had a really short bench last night, just eleven of us, including our substitute goalie, so we played one shift on, one shift off. We played our old nemesis Low Down Dirt Shame, and it was exhausting! We play two twenty minutes periods and one 15 minute period, and I'd guess I was on the ice for about 25 minutes of that. We had a little bit of a break during the couple of penalties we took, but it was still a constant back and forth.
The game was a rough one, which even included a scuffle in front of our net. One of the Low Down guys kept banging at the puck after the play was blown dead, and Jordan took offense to that. They both ended up in the box for that. I was able to be in the play most of the time, and even had two assists. I was really dragging a few shifts in the end though, and even lined up wrong at one point. I also crashed the net when ever possible, and have sorenesss to show for it. Low Down is a really fast team, and some of their players really have great passing chemistry. In the end, our short bench was able to prevail, mainly because our goalie, Adam, played brilliantly. The final score was 7-5.
