Last night we had our Championship games. 1 plays 4, and 2 plays 3. We finished 3rd over all with a record of 9-2-1. The 1st and 2nd place teams had a record of 10-2-0.......I had the lowest goals against though
.
We had 8 guys show up which was just about right. We won the first game 4-2. Everyone played well, and I didin't give up any "crap" goals. (One 2 on 1, and one PP )
There was a half an hour between our game and the Championshiip game........bairly enough time to suck down a little gatorade and dry out a bit.
During the intermission, we were informed that one of our "D" had been thrown out due to a little scrum late in our game. Also another one of our guys knee was really bothering him, so he informed me that he wasn't going to play this next game........that leaves us with 6 guys to face the top seeded team which we had beaten once and lost to once.........not looking good.
Well the puck drops and everything is looking pretty good. The game plan was to come out running and gunning, get a couple of quick goals and then play "smart" to conserve our energy. Five minutes in we were up 3-0
, and I was playing very well. By the third period we were all dead, but we held on to win 6-4! Whoo-Hooo!! Champions again........after over a year layoff!
Over all we played great as a team, and I played very solid.(for a change )
I'll be 36 next month, and I'm not sure if I can do many more of those "back to back" games without some better conditioning!
Just wanted to brag on my team and myself a bit........pathetic yes, but maybe someone will enjoy the story...
