been loaftin on this for the past few days. one might think that the reason why is because we lost... WELL YOU THOUGHT WRONG IDIOT! we won, and it was a good game but i would have liked it if we had absolutely shit kicked the Express, like we did the last time we played them.
the game was good for us because of the fact that we were able to control the ball for alot of time and really keep them on their heels for most of the game. we got out to a nice 2 goal lead on decent goals but that didnt last. they came back and tied the game up late and we ended up pulling ahead with about 5 minutes left and then ross got an ugly, but necessary, empty net goal at the end of the game.
cowin started the scoring by cleaning up the garbage in front of their net and jamming it home. first goal of the year and it must have been a nice weight off his shoulders, maybe now he'll find a few more ways to put the biscuit in the basket.
hackett got our second goal and it wasnt that pretty considering it was a top cheese snipe. dont get me wrong, the goal was nice but the shot was a weak saucer and their goalie was terrible. i know baskie would have saved that, thats why we got the best goalie in the league.
they came back and got 2 mediocre goals that, if we had our defence positioned properly, wouldnt have been goals at all.
johnson got a nice goal to put us ahead to stay, i cant really remember how it was but it was nice. ill ask him and edit this post to include the description.
ummm... the last few minutes were pretty exciting, they had us on our heels with their extra attacker on and both cowin and cainer made beautiful defensive plays to keep us ahead.
oh yea, cant forget this. baskie played well, like usual. i dont even know why i need to write this. its not like he ever plays badly.
good game team. back to .500 and we're playin the team right below us in the standings this sunday. gotta keep it atleast a bit sober on saturday nite and have a clear mind for the 3 pm game. we arent letting this team have any breathing room in the standings.

game #?
so aaaaaaannnyyyways, we played the panthers yesterday. the same panthers we lost to 4-1 in the beginning of the year, see prior post for play-by-play. and the result was the same, just a different score.
im pissed mostly because we had many many many opportunities to gain their zone and generate scoring chances but half the time we couldnt get by their blue line and we looked pretty pathetic getting stopped so often. on the other hand, they didnt really get that many chances to score. i had a beauty chance to start the game off an ugly turnover by them and shot a muffin at the goalie while he was sprawled out and all i needed to do was chip it over him.
we had a lot of chances like that that just didnt go our way.
there was this big ass on their team, the Captain actually, number 19. and he sure as hell didnt deserve the C on his chest, he didnt even deserve to be on their team. all he did was play the body all game (i got body checked like 4 times) and hook and slash our players. not to take anything away from the refs but we told them numerous times to watch him because he was playing dirty and for some reason they chose to ignore his dirty playing.
stabs finally had enough of it and ran from one side of the floor to the other and crushed him into the boards with a nice hit. the refs knew he was a big dick, i was talking to them during the game and one of them said he'd bet me that as soon as someone dropped the gloves with him he would turtle. too bad we never got the chance.
so we play and its 0-0 with like 7 minutes left when its a 4-4 and guess who comes in and scores. none other than that big piece of shit number 19. kind of ironic, i laughed my ass off as soon as he got the goal because of all the people it had to be the biggest plug on the floor. we got plenty of chances in the last 2 minutes with our goalie pulled, cycled it really well, i got another perfect chance to score and launched a field goal over the net. we ended up losing and to top it all off, number 19 on their team was calling us all pussies and bitches as we were shaking hands. what a class act.
we can take away from the game the fact that we only lost 1-0 this time and we should have won the game. i want to play them again and slash the fuck out of that big piece of shit, i dont care if he retaliates on me, so be it. we're playing the express next,the team we beat 7-1, or something like that and it's gonna be a tough game. we need to come out and beat the shit out of them

game #10
AHA!! VICTORY!! damn it never felt so good.
leading up to the game sunday im not going to lie, i was a little nervous. we were comming of a resounding defeat at the hands of a team we had previously beaten. and we were about to play a game against the 1st place team in the league that had also just been slaughtered by the best team in the entire floor hockey league, not just our division.
not to mention i know for a fact that the players on the a-town snipers were talking shit about our team all week leading up to the game. Adrian said that he heard them talking shit as he was walking onto the floor before the game. that's disrespect, and that kind of made me want to just embarass them and show people that our team is one of, if not the best team in our divison. like... seriously, we barely lost to the other team that is now first place in the league. BARELY!!
ok onto the game, we came out with a vengeance. considering we didnt have baskie in net and both brawley and kells thought that the game was at 4pm (damn daylight savings time!!) we played pretty well. the snipers were gaining the zone quite a lot, but once they got in they couldnt do anything. i heard from a source that adrian's weakness when he is in net are the booming slapshots from the point and throughout the entire game im pretty sure they got a grand total of 2 shots on net from the point. and then any other shot that made it through was either 2 feet over the net or wide left or right. we blocked a lot of their shots and made it hard for them to cycle around us.
we got a goal in the first 10 minutes but for some reason it got called off because stabs got pushed into the crease by one of their defencemen and i guess you cant have a guy in the crease. its ok though, they got called on a stupid high sticking penalty and we made them pay. hackett got one of his wierd angle slapshot goals that he seems to get every game and drew first blood. we got another goal 5 minutes later on another nice move by hackett on a rush into their zone and it was 2-0.
3 minutes later i got a lead pass and was able to chip it by the last man and raced in on a breakaway, only to get stopped by that same guy coming back and the ball rolled into the corner. no big deal... i played it around the net and it got passed out into the slot for johnson who made no mistake and put us up 3-0. finally, near the end of the game they had their goalie pulled and brawley had control and was trying to play it forward for kells to get the goal so he passed it through his legs but it rolled too far and right into their net, kind of a funny way to end the game.
closing thoughts: i heard from a couple people that the snipers thought they had "outplayed the shit" out of us. their inability to get shots in net from the point was their downfall. id say the same thing about us if we had lost, you cant take hundreds of shots from the point and have 90% of them get blocked, and then to add salt to the wound you cant miss on the shots you do get through. we didnt get outplayed, adrian wasnt tested very much in net, and when he was tested he killed it, they had a few scoring chances all game and their so called fast players didnt burn our defence once. they have 3 guys in the top 10 in scoring and we held them to 0 points. i can confidently say that we have the best defence in the league. just watching hackett burn them like 6 times yesterday was priceless too. im just dissapointed ross wasnt here, he would have had a field day with hackett on 2 on 1 rushes. i know for a fact they would have combined for atleast 3 goals.
good win team, panthers next week. lets show them who's boss
a side note, there were no periods, just 45 minutes run time with no breaks. thats why i didnt divide the article up.
SPECIAL MENTION: adrian AKA Ox had a stellar game in net. im glad that now we know that if baskie is away or sick we have a solid (very fucking solid) goalie that can play in his place.
im glad baskie is back though.

game #9
it took a while to make myself write this.
we got slaughtered. the score was 6-1. too much excessive drinking on saturday night led to an embarassing game by us.
this week we play the A-town snipers, who are the best team in the league and who, themselves, just got beat 7-0.
two teams desperate for a win... its gonna be a doozie

game #8
i am very happy to report that the minivans are back on track and looking forward to next week's game so that we can start a winning streak.
yesterday's game was against the team we played for our first game and it was a pretty even game up until the 3rd period.
they scored the first goal on a shitty shot while they had a penalty and after they got a shorty we tightened up our playing and brought it to them, not just that, we shoved the game right down their fucking cocky throats.
these guys were real dicks, and when i say that i must mean it because im a dick, and they were like me times 10. one idiot was wearing this blue visor on his helmet, not really sure why because we play indoors and was jabbing at kells the entire game. yea, thats right you read correctly, kells, the smallest guy on our team. he was also talking shit to hackett and wanted to fight him after the game but surprisingly, he wasnt "waiting in the parking lot" like he said he would be when we left the arena... pussy.
ok, back to the game, so we're down 1-0 in the first and im thinking, shit, this cant be another shitty game played by us against such a terrible team. i was working my ass off and everyone else was too. we go into the second period and thats when we really turned it on and once we did that it was only a matter of time till the game was going to be out of reach for them.
kells got a BEAUTY goal. so the defenceman pinches, one of our forwards drops back (which was good to see because you gotta cover for him). he dekes around one defender, goes through another and puts the goalie on his ass with a sick move and suddenly the game is tied up. we got our own shorthanded goal so that pumped us up.
the game was still tied going into the third but we were outplaying them badly, and considering they had 16 guys on their bench and we had 10 on ours we were the team with more energy while their were sucking dirty pond water and getting in arguments with their own players. the game remained tied until the 8 minute mark of the third and then the next 2 minutes were next to flawless for us.
the second goal was a shot from the point by kevin that smacked the goalie in the face and fell right onto hackett stick. it was a nice one because hackett had just messed up on a breakaway right before that. i went on and got to the net and was jabbing at a rebound and got it to kevin and he hit it over the goalie for our 3rd goal, then the next shift we got another one. i cant remember how it went but it was nice. wait... i just remembered, it was actually our second goal and it was a slapshop from the blue line by hackett. from that moment on we knew the goalie was sooooo RATTLED! and thats when we lit him up.
thats 3, count em, one, two, three goals in a minute and a half. flawless.
so anyways, from that on we had them on their heals and they got pretty rough. we knew they were angry also, the trash talk had already started earlier in the game and it really started up when we were ahead 4-1. there were these really trashy girls cheering for them too, but on the seats right beside our bench and they started heckling us also, it was pretty funny. kells got in a fight with some big dude and the guy got ejected while kells got 4 minutes, stabs tripped and fell and WRECKED some little idiot named oxley by hitting him into the boards. and i mean WRECKED this kid, he coulda broken his neck.
all in all it was a good game for us, bad for them. 7 penalties per team, rough rough game. good win team, we needed it.
