well folks, unfortunately, t-3 (my team) completed our descent into chaos without a plan during our last game. while i can hardly say the monkeys earned their win, we certainly didn’t stop from serving it to them on silver platter. our neutral zone breakouts often turned into turn overs and and our “dump and chase” strategy often turned into just “dump”. i think it was simply too early on a saturday to be playing hockey. :)

even though we didn’t get to hand the rhinos their first loss of the season in the final, it was a great season none the less. i’ll definitely be back next year to try again.

saturday night was my team’s first game of the playoffs versus the Edgemont Silverbellies.even after a full day of snowboarding at whistler, one too many drinks and a mid game session driving the porcelain bus, we pulled out our first shutout of the season, winning 2-0. apparently our win saturday night lit the fire in the hearts of the silverbellies, as they came back to win last night’s game 3-0. since our 2 game series was tied, it came down to a shootout to determine who would go on to the next round. luckily, graham scored on his shot and our goalie steve pulled out three great saves to give us the win. our next game is this coming saturday, at 12:45pm. wish us luck!

so, tonight was my hockey team’s final game of the regular season. unfortunately, we were playing our division’s first place team, the rhinos. the rhinos are a bit frustrating. they were in the division above us, lost something like 11 games in a row, and were demoted to our division. once in our division, they proceeded to win every single remaining game of the season.

our last game was also against the rhinos and we played very well, coming just short of the win in a very close 3-2 game. tonight was a different story. they out skated, out played and out shot us, leading to a 3-1 loss for us.

well, it’s off to the playoffs now. hopefully we get our game together and meet the rhinos in the final, where we can hand them their first loss! :)
