Minivans falls to Drunks, lose first of the year

 

In a great rivalry matchup, the first of several this year, the Minivans faced off against the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year, the Mighty Drunks. The ‘Vans planned for a hard battle and were yet again outmatched by the speed of the Drunks. Final score, 3-1

The game was a close affair throughout. Although most scoring chances went to the Drunks the Minivans were able to shut down the chances with their solid defence. Baskie also had a great game, doing what he could to help keep us in it.

Penalties were rare this game, mostly because of the way the Drunks play. They aren’t a rough team and can be muscled out pretty easily, however their speed is what wins them games. Youth, what a great time in anyone’s life. Offsetting roughing penalties and a highsticking penalty for the Drunks a minute into the third period were the only calls the refs made. It was good because they know the animosity between these two teams and they let them play.

No shoutouts this week. Nothing good about losing, let’s not do this again.
