Ronnie with the first Doughnut of the year

Ronnie Hexshort stikes !!

Ronnie pitched the first shutout of the year.....I'm sure they'll be many more. More new faces out last night.  On the Blue Line we had Ti-Gars, Pierre, Marc S., and P.A.  Up front we had yours truly, Rene, Michel, Gilles, Karl, Ti-Boy, Dave, Guy S., and JP.  The Orange Bastards picked up some new guys as well and they had a full 3 lines.  It was a good pace, and both teams started out well.  It went back and forth and it stayed scoreless for at least a good 10 minutes.  Lead by our new favorite Spare, Michel, with a hat trick, we got on the board first to make it 1-0.  Stayed that way for a bit then we scored a couple of quick ones to get up 3-0.  The game settled in and the Orange Bastards started to make a push.  Ronnie was solid, and they hit the post/crossbar a couple of times.  Ronnie claims he got a piece of them, but we're not sure if it was before or after it rang off the iron!
We finally got the 4th to make it 4-0 and that was the back breaker.  We took over momentum and they're goalie made some saves because it could have been real ugly. We outskated them for most of the night and we moved the puck well. Rene scored a late one and I think it was Dave who scored the other and that was all she wrote, 5-0 for the good guys.
On a side note, there was no "Power" in our Power Play.  Maybe we should just decline and take the yardage next time.
