2 for 1...A Tie and a Win!

TIE
Need to catch up.  We tied the Black Bastards 4-4 last Saturday.  We only had 8 Skaters.  The Black Bastards gave us one skater which gave two lines up front and 3 D.  We trailed at one point 2-1 but came back to take the lead 3-2.  We're were getting lots of chances but couldn't finish.  Then they got a couple and we found ourselves down 4-3.  Then, I think it was Gilles, popped one to tie it 4-4.  In the last five minutes Claude had the game on his stick at the side of the net but couldn't bury it.  Then the icing on the cake with about 1 min left with a faceoff in our end, we managed to flip it out and got Pat on a breakaway.  But Little Miss Five Hole stopped hime with 2 seconds on the clock.....Game..Tie 4-4.


WIN
Well again we only managed 9 skaters.  Two lines up front, with myself, Hob, Karl, George, PA, and Gilles with  Marc C., Pierre, and Ti-Gas on the back end.  We started off with a BANG!  Right of the faceoff at center it goes back to Pierre who tries to go across to the other D...BUT....puts it right on the stick of their center who walks right in and scores all in about 3 seconds.  I think Alain was still adjusting his jock or something.  We tied it with a long Bomb pass to PA who was way up ice...I think there's a name for that....anyway he breaks in and pops one stick side...Tie 1-1!


The Green Bastards had two lines with one really strong one with 17 and Kenny B. buzzing all night along with the "Kid" #12 on the point.  Their big line cycled the puck and had us in our own end a lot of the times.  But, we played a solid D and kept them to the outside on the perimeter.  They were getting some long shots but Alain was stoppping 'em and controlling the rebounds.  The boys on the Blue Line had a solid game breaking up a lot of their rushes.  For the most part the Forwards were coming back and clogging up the middle and the points.


We took the lead 2-1 with yours truly popping in a rebound.  Gilles pulled the faceoff straight back to Marc who got off a good low shot on net.  I drove the net and just had to bang it home.  We went up 3-1 with Karl getting one through the Five Hole.  Karl, Hob, and I screwed up a 3 on 1 but managed to dig it out and got it to the front of the net, Karl used the 'Ole soccer feet to kick it up to his stick and put it in.


They got a mystery one to make it 3-2.  A shoot in deflected off Ti-Gas' stick and somehow ended up in the net...but none of us saw it.  Gilles iced this sucker with a goal with about 2 minutes to go.  PA, George, and Gilles had a good shift forechecking and managed a turn over.  It got to the front of the net and Gilles finished it off.  HA!  Game, Set, Match....Ya Green Bastards!
