Coors Cup 2008 Game 2: Momentum Swings Are A Bitch
Woke up way earlier than is proper for a Saturday morning, grubbed on some hotel breakfast oatmeal, and headed to the rink for our 9:15 game against the California Crazy Cougars, a.k.a. Shella's team. This game was a step up from last night in terms of speed and skill, but we managed to keep it even for most of the game with some decent skating and great saves by Mary, a.k.a. Chris's stunt double. ;)
We scored first; my center took a shot, the goalie stopped it, I poked at the puck between the goalies pads, then looked behind the goalie, and found the puck all alone in the crease, inches from the goal line. Must... get... stick... on... puck!!! Fortunately, I was able to, and this slow motion moment ended with the puck in the net.
They answered soon after, and after a scoreless 2nd period, we entered the 3rd tied 1-1.
The 3rd period did not go so well for us. They kept moving their feet, and we did not. There was definitely a momentum swing early in the period, and they scored three quick ones on us. We were never able to make it up. Final score: 1-4.
This afternoon, hockey shopping!
