...then Gauvin showed up!

Well after starting the year of with two wins, we've promptly lost three in a row. The last an incredible stinker which I don't think I've ever seen in the 15 years of playing on this team.  We'll get back to that in a minute.

First, last Thursday at the Cage we dropped one 4-2 to the Islanders.  They definitely had the advantage of play, but we weren't out of it.  We got on the board first to make it 1-0.  It stayed that way for a while.  We had a few chances and could have gone up a couple but couldn't bury them. We only had 9 skaters and PA, and I had to play D along with Matt, who spent the better part of the first half in the box. 
They jumped out to a 3-1 lead.  We managed to make it 3-2, but that was as close as we got.  It ended 4-2.  Ronnie was solid and kept us in it.

WTF !!!!!

Really, we were leading 6-1 at one point.....
I don't even know where to begin.  On the back end we had Matt, Jody, Scott, and Ti-Gas.  Upfront we had Guy, JP, Noe, Gilles, Karl, PA, and myself.  Not much to say, we we all over them, and got up 6-1 with about 12 minutes left. Then Gauvin showed up all snotty and congested.  We started taking penalties and the next thing you know our we found ourselves tied at 6-6.  We put a push on and Gilles just missed on a play off the face off in their end.  Then they scored off a face off in our end with about 20 'effing seconds left.
And there ya have it....6 unanswered goals and we lose 7-6.
