today we went out and had some fun. and it paid off greatly.
first thing's first, we got kells back on the team and hes a great addition to our defence and whole team. brawleys still on the sidelines with his messed up hamstring but he'll be back soon, and having cainer up forward now on a line with me is starting to look like a nice little combination.
today we put on a clinic and it was just fun to watch. hackett had a hat trick, johnson had a hat trick, and ross had one of the prettiest goals i've seen all year and ill probably still be saying that at the end of the year.
we started out good, got a goal on our first shift and managed to keep the other team in check for a lot of the first period. by the end it was 2-0 for us and we were feeling pretty good. that changed quick in the second period. the other team got 2 quick goals and tied the game up and had us on our heels for a while in the period. we didnt panic though and managed to make the score 6-2 by the beginning of the 3rd period.
i guess that sparked something for the other team because they came out and had a stellar shift, controlled the ball in our end and ended up getting a goal on a missed defensive assignment by one of our guys.
after that goal they stormed back down and got another one 9 seconds later (something like 9 seconds) and made it 6-4. after that we calmed down a bit and controlled the ball for the rest of the third period. we ended up winning the game 7-4 which is nice but id have rather won 7-2 or 7-1. we let baskie down a few times.
i also let the team down 2 by getting called on some pretty obvious penalties. oh well, we all have bad moments.
anyways, all is good in the minivans camp. we're 2-2, .500 record. not amazing but good enough for now. i dont want to lose again this year.
