On the back end we had Gauvin, Matt, and Brian with his new feet. Upfront yours truly, Gilles, JP, PA, and Ti-Gars.
Ronnie got the blood going early by dishing up a lovely clearing shot that banked off the glass, immediately bounced right to one of the Orange Bastards standing at our blue line. That's the fastest I've seen 'Ole Ronnie move, as he tried to scramble back to his net from above the circle. Needless to say, that made it 1-0 for them. Can't remember who tied it up, but they took a 2-1 lead not long after. Brian also gave us a jump early as he caught an edge and flipped on his Arse backing into our zone. A hard spill. He then repeated the trick later behind our net. We'll chalk it up to 'new feet'. He may be a little extra sore this morning.
Getting back to the game. It was 2-1 for them at about mid way. Up to that point we really hadn't put many shots at chicky-poo at the other end. We started to pick it up a bit, started shooting more and sniffing around the net. To be fair to Ronnie, after his initial flub on the first goal, he tightened 'er up the rest of the way.
We tied it on a great play from Ti-Gars and PA. PA fed it over to Ti-Gars in the neutral zone. Ti-gars hung onto it across the blue line with a couple of guys hanging off him. The lone D man faded over to that side and Ti-Gars slid it over to an open PA who popped it top shelf, glove side. After that we could smell it. With about ten minutes to go we took momentum an buzzed all around. Matt rang one off the post with a one timer from the blue line. I missed an open net that would have finished a nice play, Gilles and PA both missed an open net on rebounds. We finally got a break as a shot from the point came in and hit PA in the chest and bounced up and over chicky-poos head as we crowded the crease and watched it roll in. We hung on for the next 3 minutes for the 3-2 win. Take that, ya Orange Bastards!
