Another Game in Another Season

For all of you out there who contemplated going to my game yesterday, you missed out. Yesterday's hockey game was awesome. The other team scored within the first 8 minutes of the game. And that's how it stayed for the next 2 periods. There was only 1 penalty during the game. And it was on our team with 3 minutes left in the game. Not to mention, we were down 0-1 too. And for the thrid period instead of having 2 lines of forwards and rotating 3 D, we had to drop someone back to defense so we only had 5 forwards. We were winded to say the least. So this is how it played out: We were on the penalty kill, so we have 4 guys on the ice and about halfway through the penatly we use our timeout. We rest for 1 minute or however long it is, and then we put our 4 best guys on the ice with full intentions of scoring. So basically 3 forwards and a defenseman. With the face off in their zone, all I wanted to do was win the draw (I was playing center) which I did. I got the puck to the point-ish area, we got a shot on goal, the rebound came out to the right, and we were able to score on the rebound. It was a great play. And we were shorthanded. And there was only 1:20 left in the game. So it was even better. We were able to close out the final minute tied at 1-1 and took it to a shootout. Our first shooter scored, and our goalie saved all 3 shots from the opposing team. And that's how it ended. We got an exciting win.
