9 was fine, but 8 war Great!

In the final stretch of the season

We had a little Flashback last night.  Marc S. showed up dragging his brother Guy.  It was good to see the Old Timer again! We hung on to beat the Machine last night 4-3!  We had 9 skaters (to start).  Up front yours truly, Karl, Ti-boy, Trevor, Guy, and PA. On the back end we had Pierre, Tigas, and Marc S.. Back between the pipes was Ronnie.  The Machine had 9 skaters as well.  Absent was the big Son of Bitch on defense.  About 5 minutes in, there's a scramble in front of our net, the puck pops up and PA takes a swing at it.  Only he catches one of their guys right in the shnoze...there's blood.  PA gets a 5 and 10 misconduct...hit the showers PA. Now we're down to eight.  I'm sitting in the box to serve the 5 and during that span we score TWO short handed goals!
(hmmm PA's out, I'm in the Box, team doing great)
They score not long after to make it 2-1.  We stretched it out to 3-1 then we traded goals to make it 4-2.  Ronnie was on his game.  They got one to make it 4-3 with about 4 minutes to go.  We scrambled and hung on for the win.
We were better at keeping the puck and moving it around.  Not as many bad give aways as the past weeks. Plus we hustled a little more. Ronnie had one of his best games of the year and there ya have it.
Take that, ya Machine Bastards.  4-3 for the Good Guys.
