We had 2 lines bang on. Myself, Andy, Ti-Gas and PA on the Blue Line with Hob, T-Boy, Claude, George, Gilles, and Karl up front. I know what you're thinking.....Collective team speed was the equivalent of an old Farm Tractor
To top it off, Ti-Gas had to dip into the Kijiji well for a Goalie. Derrick showed up, from Riverview....Great...."Un Cris de Tete Carre!" He looked the part, and at least this guy had Goalie Skates and all the proper gear. Let's just say our warm up didn't instill much confidence. Hob summed it up just before the opening face off, "This guy sucks!". .....Here we Go!
Ti-Boy popped out of the Gate with 2 quick goals and staked us to 2-0 lead early. Hob banged one in and made it 3-0. The White Bastards we coming but we managed to keep 'em to the outside and we just banged it out the boards. The forwards were good coming back and we managed to get 'er out. It wasn't purdy but it did the job. Our D had good sticks all night. We just seemed to be getting our sticks in the way and breaking up plays.
Our Boy Derrick was a fairly big dude and managed to stay square to the puck. He looked awkward but was making the saves. He also wasn't giving up many big rebonds after the initial shot. They finally got one to make 3-1 before the half.
The second half we settled in to some back and forth....but it looked like the old Lewisville team showed up. We kept getting chance after chance but just couldn't finish. It had that feeling of, these misses were going to come back and bite us in the Ass! But with about 3 minutes to go Karl poked the puck of their D-man stick to the side of their net. It looked like he was going to center it, but instead took a few steps to walk right out front and put a back hand over Wally's glove...Game...Set... Match...4-1. Karl added another with about 30 seconds to when Karl was chasing down a puck and Wally came screaming out to almost the blue line with a dive....Karl got a good bounce, Calmly walked around a sliding D-Man and tucked it in to the open net to make it 5-1.
Take that ya White Bastards!
