Night of the Spares

Night of the Living Spares

We got the Blue Bastards 5-2 last night.  What a difference 48hrs makes. From the Abomination game on Thursday to one of the best hockey games this league as seen in probably a very long time.
Both teams brought in the spares.  Blue Bastards called in two of the best Red Bastards and another to fill out their roster.  For us, up front we had Karl, Ti-boy, Hob, JP, Rene, Joey, Remi, and Swiss.
One the blue line we had yours truly, Andy, Ti-Ga, and Paul.
Between the pipes, Hob called up Jaques.
It was a smoking pace.  Up and down with lots of chances at both ends.  It was a clean game too.  No chippy shit or mouthing off.  
We jumped out to a 2-0 lead.  We certainly had the momentum in the first 12 minutes, but the tide started to shift.  For about the next 10 minutes they poured it on.  They chipped away and managed to tie it 2-2.  Jaques was rock solid in the second half.  We started to push back in the last 10 minutes and it went back and forth.  After missing some great chances we got a break with a fluky one off the end boards to take the lead 3-2.  Karl got the back breaker with about 5 minutes to go shortly after that.  Rene scored in the last minute to ice it 5-2.
Take that ya Blue Bastards!

Abomination!

That's an Abonimal...Abomination!

What the Hell was that!  Yup and 11-8 loss to the Red Bastards.  We called in Hockey C**k (Jeremy) to step in for Ronnie.  We played three lines and three D.  Needless to say, Jeremy did not have a good night.  We started out bang, bang.  It went back and forth and it was 4-3 for the Red Bastards and I looked at the clock, it had 43 minutes left....What!
I think they scored the next five to make it 9-3.
We made a surge in the second half and got as close as 9-6, but that was as close as we got.  We exchanged a few more each and the 'Abomination' ended 11-8.
That's 19 goals in an hour of hockey.  Take in to account the warm up, whistles, and face-offs, you're looking at a goal almost every 2 minutes!
