games 5 and 6

i've been slacking, i know.
game 5 was decent, nothing amazing by any means though. we played the titans and what should have been a resounding victory for us ended up being barely a victory for us. we won 3-2 on a close game that could have very well gone the other way had they hit the net instead of hitting posts but thats all done and finished now and we got the win. thats all that matters.

game 6 seemed as though it was going to be a little tougher because we were up against the Whalers, and we were missing 5 players from our team; kotchie, beavan, cowin, megit (all in europe) and jeremy (sick??) and then also little brawley. so we were actually missing 6 guys but no biggie. Iain came through in the clutch and played for us and since we were down so many guys i had to play defence with him. my first shift was atrocious and it resulted in their first, and only, goal of the game. it took a little while but after that i got a feel for defence and Iain and I played a solid game. Vernoy and Kells also played a solid game as the other 2 defencemen. we had a total of 10 guys and a goalie so it was exactly 2 full lines. oh yea, did i mention that we had BASKIE playing forward for us?? yea, desperate times call for desperate measures and he had one of the best forward games i've ever seen him play. he was setting up goals left right and center. pretty sure he logged either 3 or 4 assists on the 6 goals so thats always a bonus. he wanted a goal badly but im sure he's ok with a handful of helpers.

from the moment of the first goal the whole team turned it up a notch and brought the heat to the Whalers. we scored 6 unanswered goals and the final score was 6-1 for us, yet another victory and that was good enough to run our current streak to 6 wins to start the season now. big things.

special shoutout to muj for shutting the door after the first goal and allowing us to get a win.
special shoutout to Iain for playing for us. i was glad to have a defence partner as solid as him to back me up. i didnt worry once throughout the game because i knew he had my back.
special shoutout to baskie for playing forward for us, while he was wasted, and getting atleast 3 assists, maybe more. good game bud, you were pro style for sure.
special shoutout to stoute, johnston, and hackett too, solid line.
actually, special shoutout to the whole minivans team on this one. we played a solid game as a whole and considering we were missing 6 players we played stellar.

good game team.
