Deja Vu

YUCK!  Two ties in a row. Gag me!

Two ties in a row with the Red Bastards.  Both 3-3 scores.  And both time we were down and had to come back.  Can't remember much about the first one at the Cage.
But this past week in St Anselme, we got off to a slow start and found ourselves down 3-0.  We only had 7 skaters show up, and they only had 8 so we played 4-on-4.  Upfront we had PA, Karl, Rene, & JP.  On the Blue Line we had myself, Matt, and Pierre.
As mentioned we were down 3-0 before we knew what happened.  Then we slowly started to take over momentum.  Of course being 4 on 4 there were lots of chances at both ends of the ice.  Ronnie made some good saves in the second half to give us a chance to climb back in it.  Even down by one, you had the feeling we were going to win.  Rob "The Red Bastard" was solid and we peppered him down the stretch, got the tying goal but couldn't find the winner.  Everyone was pretty gased at the end. 
So there ya have it!  Two ties against the Red Bastards!

No Sweat

The Fun starts today!

Well that was probably the easiest win we've had since I can't remember.  Beat the Orange Bastards 5-2 and it wasn't even that close.  

Upfront we had yours truly, JP, Ken, Gilles, Ti-Boy, and PA.  On the back end the three Amigos of Marc, Andy, and Kankle/Go20.

When we can say we out skated and out hustled the other team that should tell ya all you need to know.  They had the big Goalie with the black sweater in net and we peppered him all night.  If it weren't for him it would have been really ugly.  Although, we all tried multiple times to put it through his belly button...maybe we could try picking a corner once in a while.

We jumped out to a 5-0 lead then kind of coasted the last third of the game and they got a couple to make it respectable.  Gilles continued his hot streak with a pair and a great rush right around their D and scored.  Marc fed (the loafing) PA with a great pass from the side of our net right up the middle to their blue line. PA walked in a score. Hell!  Even I scored! And Kankle/Go20 was a bit winded on his return to D so grabbed a couple of penalties and spent some alone time feeling shame.

The icing on the cake was Ronnie cross checked some DipWad out of his paint with under 3 minutes to go.  Then promptly stopped the penalty shot.  I think he was bored, I doubt he got 15 shots all night.
So take that, ya Orange Bastards, 5-2 for the good guys.

Funny how things even out, eh?

As mentioned in the last entry, we won a game we shouldn't have and now to our last game, a 4-2 loss to the Red Bastards, a game in which we deserved better.
Upfront we had JP, Karl, Ken, Ti-Boy, Gilles, and myself.  On the Blueline we had Brian, Matt, and Andy.  Between the pipes, Matt's recruit Dom.  Who had a solid game.
We got off to a slow start again, which seems to be a trend since the Xmas break.  We got down 2-0.  We definitely carried the play in the second half and and battled back to tie it 2-2.  Gilles scored the tying goal with a double dipsy-doodle around the D then Rob.  We had a really good power play, but couldn't finish.  We were all over them but couldn't find the back of the net. Rob slid over and stacked the pads on a one timer from yours truly and robbed me.  Rob shut us down. Then we took a penalty with about 5 minutes left and of course they scored to take the lead 3-2. Then we took another inside of 3 and they scored on the penalty shot.  There ya have it.  4-2 loss to the Red Bastards although we deserved better.

Ronnie Stole the Show!

Ronnie's idol.  Old Hex himself!

Ah the Game of Hockey! Beat the Blue Bastards 5-0 last night at the Cage. Let's get this out of the way right now. Ronnie stood on his head and shut them down.  We pulled out a game we had no business winning.
We got out skated most of the night.  We did hustle and work, but spent a good part of the night in our end.

On the Blue line we had Matt, Brian, Ti-Ga, and Marc.  Upfront the return of Kankle (Pierre), Karl, Ti-Boy, PA, JP, Gilles, and yours truly.

As I mentioned we did hustle and work.  Ronnie was seeing everything.  We did a good job of clearing out the front of the net.  They didn't get a lot of second or third whacks at it.  We also killed off a few penalties for good measure.  We obviously did create some offence by scoring 5 goals.  Two were solid but the other two where very weak, and Gilles got a late goal by banging one in, in the front of the net.
Take that ya Blue Bastards!  5-0 for the good guys!

Catch up

Little slack in getting the updates up.  The last two games.  
We beat the Orange Bastards 4-2 in a good game.  We got behind 2-0 early.  But we kept picking away and tied it up 2-2.  JP got the winner late and then we added an empty netter to seal the deal.
Take that ya Orange Bastards! 

Before this game we had a barn burner with the Blue Bastards and came away with a 7-7 tie.  Again we got down early but came back to tie it late 6-6.  I think we actually go the go ahead goal but couldn't hang on and it ended 7-7.
