well well well... the day after im still rattled from this one. we were playing the Slakers, who probably meant to call themselves the "slackers" but are idiots and dont know how to spell so it looks more like the Lakers of the NBA with an S added to the front. morons.
ok, onto the game. we started off great yesterday. our first shift ended up getting a goal which is always nice and we kept up a fast pace of play all of the first period. by the first break it was 3-0 for us and we were playing very well and had the other team on their asses. they were shook, we could tell. then something happened, i like to believe that we looked up at the score and realized that we were beating the hell out of the first place team and thought "what the hell are we doing? we should be losing!" and that mentality screwed us. our second period was still good but we were slowing down, letting them cycle the ball in our end and get chances. those chances led to their first goal of the game and the second period ended with us leading 3-1 but our heads were obviously not in the game.
they came out strong in the third and we played like absolute shit. i like how ross summed it all up after the game, we were talking on our bench in the first 2 periods, the third period came and our bench was silent. not a good thing for nobody on a team to be talking to their team mates when your team is leading 3-1 in the third period.
they got 2 goals, one which was decent and one which was shit and tied the game up and we were expecting OT to settle it. never make assumtpions. those goals re-energized them and they scored a goal with 30 seconds left in the game to go ahead for good. shitty way to lose a game against the best team.
notes:
- hackett was away on a trip to some eastern province and he might have fared better with him.
- brawlette was a call-up for us and it was nice to see him back on our bench for a minivans game. he didnt have an amazing game but played hard and puked his ass off during the game.
- solid play by cowin, got a nice assist on my goal
we're 3-3 now, we need to win every game from now on.
