Team that Drinks together WINS together


Don't adjust your screen ....We beat the Green Bastards 5-2 for our first Win in over a month!  Upfront we had myslef, Pierre N, Ti-Boy on one line and Guy, Gilles, and Bob made up the other. On the backend was Andy, Pierre G, and Ti-Gas back up from the minors.
We jumped out to 1-0 lead with yours truly potting a short hander with a great hustle and feed from Guy.  They tied it 1-1 then we made it 2-1 as the Rookie Bob got his first.  They tied 2-2 and we had a bad stretch where fill in Goalie Michel kept us in it.  But that was as close as they got. Can't remember who got the next one but we made it 3-2 and we poured it on.  Soon is was 4-2 but it wasn't that close, we left a ton of goals out there. Rob the Green Bastard was solid.  
We had two lines really clicking.  We managed to hang onto the puck much better, made better passes, and were able to gain the offensive zone.  We only forechecked one man most of the night making their D carry it out, and more often than not, they made a bad pass or coughed it up. The Green Bastard forwards rarely were able to break out free and clear and get their speed going. In our end, they mounted pressure but we were better along the boards and we clogged up the slot and managed to get in the way, not giving them clear lanes.
Ti-Gas had a beauty, picking up a loose puck in the neutral zone a little dipsy doodle around their D and fired a low shot stick side. Gilles capped it off with a late goal and the final was 5-2 for the Good Guys....take that ya Green Bastards!  Another first was Pierre Niles got his first win!  The worm she turns boys!


So of course we attributed our win to the fact that some of us went to the bar on Thursday night.  Don't know if that's the case but you certainly can't argue with the results.  I know it's only Beer League hockey, but Damn, it felt good to win a game!
Bottoms up, Ladies!


Oh, and as promised, New Tasty Treats for all!  I'll try and get to it as soon as I can.
