Turning the Corner

Well don't look now it's two in a row!  We beat the Orange Bastards 4-3. We had three lines up front and decided to go with three D.  Andy, Marc, and Pierre's tongues were dragging but they held up.  Marc had one lovely shift where he flailed around, looking like he forgot a skate guard on one foot.  Up front we had myself, Ken, P.A., Guy, Jeff, Hob, George, Karl, & Gilles.
We got down 1-0 early.  Ronnie was still thinking of Minnie Mouse and scratching his sunburn when hot shot hit the crossbar and in.  We tied it 1-1 and then they took the lead again 2-1.  We shuffled a couple of guys up front and it paid off right away.  In one shift we scored two. Can't remember who got the first, but Jeff the Rookie got the second, his first of the year I think, making it a one goal lead 3-2.
It looked like we were going to start to pull away but nooooo....
A fluke, Pierre, tried to clear it, it went off a skate and in.  Just like that 3-3.  We saved the best for last.  With about 7 or 8 minutes to go P.A. gets tangled up with one of their D as we're coming out of our end, he kicks it ahead, swings his stick loose around his back and I'm on to the right with one guy to beat.  P.A. takes the shot as we cross the blue line, I get the rebound on my backhand and try to bang it in, it gets through the goalie as he's sliding across and it's sitting there in the crease and P.A. pokes it home.
We had to kill a late penalty as Pierre needed a breather, but we hustled and killed it off.  We were definitely more determined, we hustled more and were coming up more with the loose pucks.  Good win as we came from behind twice in this one....take that ya Orange Bastards!
