The Orange Bastards only had 7 skaters. We jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. We traded a few and by the half it was 4-2 for the good guys. Ronny made some good saves and didn't let them back in the game. In the second we popped a few more and soon it was 7-2.....then the Hockey Gods poked us.
Gilles and I broke up a play at our blue line, and in my infinite wisdom I pushed it ahead to let Gilles take off on a breakaway....which he promptly botched...first game hands of cement syndrome...and of course the play goes the other way and bam! they put one in. Seconds later off the face off they popped another. So after a missed breakaway which would have made it 8-2 now we're at 7-4 with about 8 minutes to go.....wheels starting to wobble!
Then just to make things interesting Guy gets a hooking call with one hand on his stick. I guess it was the Ref's first game of the year too.
But, we managed to hike up our collective skirts and kill off the penalty and put home a late one to make the final 8-4. Take that, ya Orange Bastards! Ronny was solid and Hob lead the way with 4 goals.
