WOW! What a game!

Last night was the most exciting sports event I've ever participated in!

I'll write the full details once I see the box score but......

At one point we were down 4 - 1....with less than 3:00 remaining in the game we were down 5 - 3. The Misfits lived up to their name and committed a couple of crucial penalties giving us a 5 on 3 advantage. At that point we decided to pull Kelly from the net giving us a 6 on 3 advantage. It didn't take long to score and now we were down by one goal.

Each team had the puck a couple of times with time running out. The Misfits cleared the puck to our zone with 9 seconds remaining. Bryce managed to grab the puck, skate the length of the ice while the bench was screaming 6...5...4....3 as the clock ran down. Bryce was able to beat the defense and tied the game by getting his own rebound on his initial shot, the puck went in with 8 tenths of a second remaining in the game! Holy Moly Batman!

In overtime Kelly made the greatest save we have ever seen, the Misfits shot from the right hash mark and Kelly went down and blocked the shot, the rebound came out and the Misfits passed it to the left slot where it was then fired on goal. From his knees Kelly dove across the crease, laid out and stopped the puck with his stick next to the left post.

The defense grabbed the puck, passed it up to Scott who again beat the Misfits down the left side of the ice, fired on goal and made the game winning goal!

What a great way to end a season!

A butt kickin'

Yep,

We did take a butt kickin' last night!

The last game of the season is now less than a week away, we play the misfits who like us have not had the "best" season.

We skate hard, we play hard, we cuss hard, we just don't get the puck in the net!

I feel good about this next game, and this will actually be the first time we will have played the Misfits! It looks like a few regular players will be out but I still think we've got a great shot at getting our 2nd win of the season. If we can pull of a win in this game then we are assured a playoff game and not finishing in the cellar!

Don't forget this week is also I-League appreciation week so there will be food and drinks after the game.

Also we will be getting our packets for the next session so be ready to sign up and get session 3 started.

Stars and Cowboys....both are almost here!

...ahhhh hockey season is not that far away...at least for the NHL....as much as I love hockey though I'm really more excited about the Cowboy season getting started!

Just an update on the summer session for those who follow the blog. We currently stand at 1-4-1, we are actually a better team this year with the games being pretty close. Part of the struggle has been with summer vacations and a few injuries we've not had the full team on the ice very much.

Most of our games are at 6:15pm in Frisco, with next week being the only one not and it is at 8:45pm.

Come on out! WE NEED THE HELP!

On a side note I started a new workout program today at ZOOM SPORTS in Frisco, I'll give you a complete update in another post. They have one of the only "hockey treadmills" in the state right here in Frisco. I hope to get a chance to try it out soon!
