Gut Check

You had one Job! Put it in the emtpy net!

Well we'd lost 6-3 and 14-2 vs the Islanders the last couple of times out, so it was gut check time. On the back end we had Marc C., Ti-ga, PA, and Rover Matt.  Up front we had the blistering speed of yours truly, Ti-boy, Karl, Paul, Noe, and Stephane.  Between the pipes John Snair was back to the scene of the 14-2 drubbing he faced the last outing vs. these shmucks!
Stephane got us on the board picking up his own rebound. Matt tied the game, yes that's right, Matt banged a home a rebound in our own net.
Noe put us up by one on a nice shot from inside the circle on his off wing.  They tied it up with a pinball follow the bouncing puck, three stooges scramble in front of our net to make it 2-2.  They got the next one to make it 3-2 on a questionable high stick, then we had them exactly where we wanted them!
Can't remember who tied it, but we got it to 3-3.
Then on a delayed penalty call Ti-boy fed it up to me, I crossed the blue line, put on the brakes and fed Stephane steaking in across the blue line, he sucked in the D and he made a great play across to Noe who parked it in a wide open cage to make it 4-3.  I think it was Matt who after a scramble and kicking and poking at a loose puck at their blue line, Matt picked it up skated to the slot, faded to his forehand an roofed one glove side to give us a 5-3 lead.
Not long after, myself, Ti-boy and Noe broke out of our end.  Ti-Boy was on his off wing as we came across the blue line.  In a classic Ti-Boy drag, he looked over to pass, but instead saucered one top corner glove side to put us up 6-3 with about 6 minutes left.  They pulled their goalie with about 2 plus minutes left, and yes, I had a break and instead of skating it all the way in, I tried to put it in the open net outside the blue line and....MISSED!....Tabernac!
John was on his game and wasn't F***ing around.  He held the fort and there ya have it....6-3 for the Good Guys...take that ya Islander Bastards!
