Game Three
Well, once again most of the team showed up. And those that did played hard.
We opened the scoring this time and held the lead the whole way.
Ended up 6-2. Craig scored just 8 seconds into one of our power plays to get us really pumped up.
The other team was getting a little mouthy when they couldn’t take our teams’ gentle ribbing.
Their fans were even worse. After the last whistle the ref was trying to get them to clear the “ice” and the fans stormed the in. So, the next game looks like it could be a physical affair.
I got Denny to take some “action shots” during the game and I will post them tomorrow.
Next game: Thursday 08:30.

Game Two
Well, game two went much better than game one.
We actually showed up and played like a team. Didn’t hurt us that there fastest guy had a leg injury and there hardest shot was playing soccer instead.
Their goalie kept the score a lot closer than it should have been. The final score was 2-0.
Game three is tomorrow (Monday). Best of five series so stayed tuned.
Oh, Joe and I drove some balls at the range. I got a new set of clubs so had to break them in.
They seem much better so far.

Playoffs
Well, that was a bad start to the post season. We got so schooled last night. We decided to show up and start playing in the third period. At one point it was 9-0 but, we made a comeback and the final score was 10-5.
We will ride this momentum to win the next two games. Back to back games Sunday and Monday.
With the weather lately it shouldn’t be too long before we can start playing outside again.

End of Season
Well, we played our last regular season game last night.
Didn’t go as well as we had hoped. We got beaten 6-3.
With this loss it closes out our regular season record at 12 wins, 9 losses and 4 ties. Which means we had 28 points over 25 games. Yeah, we finished better than .500 and first place in the ‘B’ division.
The playoffs start on Thursday so stayed tuned to see how we do.
Looks like there might be another round of golf today. I won’t forget my putter this time.

Golf in February
Well, had the day off today.
The weather was so beautiful that I shot 18 holes of golf at Cheam.
Joe was there as well. He wore shorts. And beat me. He a good game but I will come back and defeat him another time. Plus I forgot my putter and had to use my driver.
Oh well, $5 for 18 holes in the middle of February more than makes up for having a bad day of chipping and putting.
I would put a link to the golf course here. But, they don’t have a web site.

Hockey
Another tough battle in the ball hockey arena.
We pulled the goalie with a minute left and scored with 20 seconds remaining to tie it at 7.
Overtime began with 4 on 4. It was back and forth or forth and back depending if you are stickler for proper english.
So that’s how it ended. Another OT tie.
We just could not get a bounce to go our way the whole third period. Plus, we were missing 4 of our players.
We play again on Sunday and then on the Thursday to end the regular season.
