Tonight was the last game of the regular season and we knew before the game that we had already clinched first place in the league. We were playing the orange team, a good opponent that made the game close last time we played and did the same thing this time. We started off the game with me, brawley and johnson bringin the intensity on the first shift and hack, brawlette and stabs following it up with a beaty shift and hackett sniped a nice goal. The very next shift for me brawl and johnson came out and killed it and got another goal to make the game 2-0 and we were feeling good.
We kept up the pressure and had the other team on their heels for the rest of the first and into the second but nearing the third you could start to see that double shifting for as long as we had started to take its toll on us. We had 2 full lines plus one floater for the whole game so it was pretty much go on, play, go off and go back on again.
We got outplayed all of the third and luckily baskie kept us in the game again with his stellar play. The orange team made the game close by scoring their first and only goal of the game but we were able to weather their offensive rushes and have a few dominant shifts to keep them on the defensive. We killed it in the last few minutes and pressured them so that they couldn't pull their goalie until there was less than a minute left and we were able to run out the clock for yet another win keep a streak goin into the playoffs next week.
Good game tonite team.
Now a whole new season begins.
i would like to add on a sidenote that R-Kells was on defence tonite and absolutely killed it whenever he was on the playing surface. he knows his positional defence really well and was hustling his ass off making some really good plays to put us in a better position to win. i know baskie appreciated his hard work.
