I just watched Francois Beauchemin's game winner from the Avalanche v. Sabres win last night. Only 32 seconds left in the game! We did one better, though. Eli scored our game winner with only 27 seconds left. Ha!
We played the Islaynders, and they've made some distinct roster changes. They have some seriously good players now, including a guy in my Learn to Play Hockey course. They scored late in the first period, and took the lead into the intermission. We came back right at the beginning of the second to tie it up, and then they scored again about 5 minutes later. It was 1-2 heading into the third, but we were able to score again to get the tie, right at the beginning of the period. Then came the game winner with seconds ticking away!
It was a great win, especially after our horrible performance from last week. This game the total opposite. We skated really well, made some decent passes and were able to keep the giveaways and breaks to a minimum. I think I played really well. I was in on our second goal- scored by the other Paul- crashing the net and cycling the puck down low. I also managed to really help put on a penalty kill that came late in the game. Our goals were not pretty, but they did go in.
The game was a friendly affair, with only one minor incident, when we crashed the net early in the first. A couple of guys, including Flink, went down hard, but unlike the Punx, both teams kept things under control. Good stuff!
