What's that smell?

That was some serious STINK!

Well that makes three in a row.  Three losses that is.  The Green Bastards put it to us 5-1.  Ron was by far our best player and kept it from getting very ugly.  We got off to a slow start again.  Giving up and early goal.  But at least it wasn't in the first 10 seconds.  We fell behind 2-0 and you got the feeling it was going to be a long night.  They popped another one and it was 3-0 before we started to get anything going.
Again we were outskated and to a man, were horrible with the puck, coughing it up over and over again in our own end and in the neutral zone.  Especially weak along the boards in our end with their D continually keeping it in and prolonging the play in our end. We can't hang onto it, we're waiting to long to move it and we're not making good passes.
We did get some chances but we weren't driving the net and a lot of our shots weren't getting through.  Off legs and sticks.  And to Rob The Green Bastard's credit, he was solid when he had to be and made a couple big stops and we just couldn't get anything going.
I seem to remember a similar stretch last year.  We turned it around.  We dumbed it down.

• Don't leave your own end before the puck.
• Make sure you get it out
• Put pucks at the net
• Drive the net for the garbage

It's beer league hockey boys....let's not make things complicated.
