Tonight was one of the most important games of the eason and we came through with a very good and clutch performance against what was considered to be a tough opponent. The first two periods we played really effectively but couldn't find the back of the net and came close to going into third down 1-0.
The pylon's first and only goal wasn't pretty at all, baskie went down and hit the net to the side and the ball rolled in the side. After that we got fired up and came out with energy. Ian got a goal with five seconds left in the second and then the pylons called a pointless timeout that didn't phase us at all.
We came out in the third just like we ended the second and I drew a penalty and took another bump in the shin that resulted in the second and eventual game winning goal. Right after that shift r-kells, stabs (playin his first ever game forward) and me came out with an intensity and stabs got two quick goals to make it 4-1 and after that the game seemed a bit easier.
We finished the game winning it 5-1, r-kells and me both racked up 4 assists, brawley senior got a goal and assist and stabs got 2 goals.
Good game team. Tops of the league is almost clinched now.

Mini Vans - regular season
last nite was quite the game...
we played great in the first period against a low ranked Belair team and controlled alot of the game for the first 10 minutes.
after that i dont know what the fuck happened, we fell apart in the second period, they were just outplaying us and they were more hungry for the win.
alot of our players were gettin chirped by our own bench last nite, me being among that group and i guess all the heckling from our teammates helped because we came out in the third period with a vengence.
ended up going ahead 4-2 in the third and we were breezing towards a win and the start of hopefully another win streak. and again we flopped pretty bad.
i got slashed hard with 5 min left and it was a stinger so i came off. then we got a bench penalty for delay of game so i served that.
Belair got a goal with about 3 minutes left in the game to put them down by only one and we knew they were gonna pull the goalie. Smiley came off with about 2:30 left and all he said was "get me on there for the last minute". he had that drive in his eyes and i knew he wanted that empty net goal to ice the game.
the last minute comes, and Belair has an empty net and i see Smiley eyeing that thing from the bench. shooting lightning bolts from his eyes at the net (not really though).
so he gets on and runs his ass off and actually gets the ball and races down the floor to try to put the game out of reach but he got off balance and barely missed the net with a shot. then im pretty sure he bailed pretty hard and scraped the shit outta his knee. thats dedication for the team right there.
Belair gets the ball and races back up the floor and gets into our end and scores with 23 seconds left to tie the game at 4-4...
WTF!!!!
needless to say i was pretty pissed, and the rest of the team was also.
so then as the time is winding down into overtime brawley senior gets a penalty for a slash or something, refs were brutal.
and thus overtime begins...
so we're on the penalty kill for the first 2 minutes of overtime. 4 on 3, thats no fun.
we managed to keep the ball out of our end until the penalty ended, then immediately after the penalty kill we got another penalty. did i mention the refs were brutal?? oh, ok. because they were.
another man advantege for Belair. luckily they were trash and hackett had had enough of the bullshit we had gone through. he intercepted a pass in the neutral zone and raced in on pretty much a breakaway after a nice dangle around the last defenceman. he rifled it past the goalie and we won.
Baskie had an awesome game once again, pretty much one of the only consistent players. hes keepin us in this league and now we're first place in the league no matter who has a game in hand or whatever.
anyways, thats all for now. im gonna check who we play next sunday and post something about it soon.
cheers

Mini Vans - regular season
last nite was a pretty good game, not too happy with the outcome but a tie is better than a loss i guess.
we hustled our asses off and tied the game up when we were down 3-1. had a lot of good chances after we had tied it up but couldnt get that extra goal.
overtime was pretty exciting but still no goal.
b kells ran his ass off and kept us in the game. atta boy
baskie also played well and kept our chances alive.
overall a good game and we gotta bring that intensity next week against Belair ING. we played well against them last game and won 3-2. since then our team has only gotten better.
might be a slaughter...

Mini Vans - regular season
played the last place team on sunday to try to extend our winning streak to 5 games and we were very successfull.
we blasted the titans 6-0. it was pretty much a clinic.
lets not get ahead of ourselves... we play the first place team next sunday in a rematch of our second (?) game of the year.
we lost that one 2-1 in overtime on a shitty give away. we wont lose to them again.
