game 7

BAHHH and Humbug. thats all i can say about today's game.
we started off not that bad, had the bullets on the defensive and we were controling the pace of the game for the most part. we were getting opportunities in their end but couldnt get very many shots and any shots they got were stopped by Baskie.
the game was tied for the most part up until about 4:30 left in the 3rd but we were definately getting enough chances and open shots in the latter part of the 1st and for alot of the second. we were setting up plays and getting of good shots but their goalie was keeping them in the game and keeping us off the scorecard.
brawley and kevin finally connected for a nice goal in the 3rd. kev lasered a beauty pass right to the stick of a streaking brawley at the side of the net and he deflected it in. it was nice because kevin was close to the blue line and went far side right on the tape of brawleys stick and he finished.
after that we kept up the good play and we were able to keep the ball out of our zone for the most part. thats until they pulled their goalie.
1 extra man, we had 3 chances to get the ball out of our zone and 3 different players failed on the clearing attempt and that really hurt us. they cycled the ball around from the far right to the far left then right to the extra man who was just barely outside of the blue line and he blasted a slapshot into the back of the net. the refs dropped the ball on that play, the other team was offside when they gained the zone. the only reason i know this is because it was right in front of our bench and every single player on our bench witnessed it as well. oh well, sometimes the refs make mistakes. no big deal.
so they tie it up with 20 seconds left in the game and we go into OT.
in the OT it was 4 on 4 and we were holding the ball well and making most of the offensive rushes. we had some really good chances but couldnt finish.
getting good chances means taking a risk and having one of the D men pinch in. that was the case with 1 min left in OT and vernoy got an errant pass right onto his stick but bobbled the ball and couldnt get a shot off. then the same thing happened to Stabs and the bullets got the ball and caught us and made us pay. 3 on 1, and they're coming down on a natural forward (kevin). he did the right thing and played the pass and the guy with the ball took a shot at a diving Baskie that got saved but the rebound went right back to him and Baskie was out of position and it was a simple flip shot over the sprawling goalie for the win.

its ok, we got one point and we're still second in the league.
i made some good plays today so im happy. almost got a goal with brawley. i went for a pass in the air and hoped that he could deflect it in but was late on reacting. i had one single bad giveaway which pissed me off but other than that i was solid. well... in my opinion anyways.

we were missing ross today, if we had him playing we would have won because he can really tire the teams down with his full throttle speed playing style.
it was nice having jason back, his ankle is better now.
we were missing kells because his ankle is acting up but he was on the bench with us helpin out.
