Game 7

We had been trying for 2 weeks to reschedule today's game for a later time so that we might be have kotch, bev, cow, and jason back from europe to play for us but no dice. 6pm game time, earliest we've ever played and it didnt really make a difference to us how many players we were missing. we had a total of 9 players on our bench today, 2 full forward lines and 3 defencemen. 1 less player than we had last week and the result was the same. another game, another victory for the Minivans. we're 7-0-0 now and if we can beat a team with only 9 players then i cant wait till we have a full team again.
Our opponent this week was the Pylons, we've played them quite a few times over the past 3 years and the games have always been exciting. We had Baskie in net today because Muj cant play earlier games and Iain also came out to play again for us because we needed him. overall a solid game by the whole team. The Hackett, Stoutey, and Kev Jonhston line connected for 3 goals on their very first shift, in the span of 56 seconds and that pretty much set the pace for the rest of the game.
even with us down 6/7 players we were still able to control the tempo of the game and effectively shut down a team with atleast 3 more players than us. the ability of our forwards to cycle the ball properly in their zone tired the Pylons down pretty well and gave us the upper hand because by the third period they were barely running anymore and we still had plenty of gas left in the tank.
ok so, as far as boxscore goes, kevin had 2 goals, so did stoute, and then in the third hackett sniped a beauty wrister past the keeper to make it 5-1 and we knew by that time we had the W.
Whenever Baskie plays net for us we know that we wont need many goals to get a win because he can single handedly win a game for us.
our team has now allowed 10 goals in the first 7 games of the season. not too shabby.
we have also scored the most goals out of any team and we're still undefeated. thats the only stat that matters. 7-0-0.
