this was a big series for us. two games against the Bullets. we had already beaten them twice or three times in the regular season so we assumed we would be able to outplay them again.
unfortunately things didnt go the way the minivans had planned it and we lost the first game 2-0 on a weak game played by us.
we came back the next game with a sense of urgency but we just couldnt come through with a win in the must-win situation.
after the second loss we were all under the impression that the season was over but i guess not. we scored a total of goals in our series and because the Whalers didnt score any goals in either game they played against the Pylons. because of this we got the wildcard spot and we play the Mighty Drunks this upcoming sunday in a one-game series. this is our shot at redemption, time to make up for the 2 embarrassing losses we had handed to us by them in the regular season. They're the top seed and we know we can beat them, we can beat any team in the division. That's why we're the defending champions.
season aint over just yet...

game 12
3rd matchup of the year vs the Whalers, and this time they really wanted to beat us. I could tell because they had 4 extra players who I have never seen play for them that they must have called up especially for this game. The Minivans were also short 3 or 4 players and it's always bad to play an early game on really hot days because the Village Arena gets pretty damn toasty, even with all the doors open and a breeeze rolling through.
I seem to have misplaced the scoresheet, or I just didnt grab it today because I ended up playing another game right after with the Bullets because they were short a handful of players so I dont know the exact order of the goals. I'm pretty sure the Whalers scored on us first and we responded a few minutes later, only to have them repsond right back. we ended up tying the game and it went to OT and Stoutey was able to snipe a pretty dirty goal through the goalie's legs right off the faceoff to give us the win.
On a sidenote, the refs were pretty bad today. some wishy washy calls that could have gone either way seemed to be only going against us. The same thing happened in the game I played with the Bullets.
Brawley got ejected for talking shit to the ref
Ross got ejected for talking shit to the ref also but he was pretty vicious. tough guy for sure.
We also managed to kill off 6 straight minutes of penalties and another 8 minutes of penalties that we had racked up in the game. I'm pretty sure the Whalers got 3 total penalties all game.
