Don't Stop Believin'
6 and 0. Yes, that's right, undefeated still!
The best thing about last night's game was that every single player scored!! Well, not me as I don't really count, but I did get an assist. ;-) Couldn't be more proud of these guys. There was a definite difference in play from Stuart, who had been playing a bit tentative so far this season. He had a break out game, taking a lot of quality looks and scoring two big goals. Mark and Dara also stepped up their games, with both getting a good amount of looks and good shots. Mark picked up two and Dara one. George has had a great impact on the Offense, not just by leading the league in scoring, but he's provided leadership for the rest of the team; setting up feeds and helping to build confidence. Gibby does the same thing on Defence, setting the standard for proper strong box play. It's amazing how fast everyone has gelled together to form a strong team from all angles.
We were short Gibby again due to him being grounded in Nova Scotia due to a hurricane (yea, weak excuse I know), but so again no subs. It was a tough and gritty game, with the score real close in the first two periods. As has been our trademark all season though, we found the winning rhythm in the third and pulled away to a 12-9 win. I'm a bit annoyed with myself though, as 8 points was the most any team had scored on me all season, and at least 2 of those goals were completely my own fault (two bad passes that resulted in easy shots). I really need to keep my head when clearing the ball.
You'd think that with winning consistently the lads would get a bit cocky and complacent. This hasn't happened though, with every player continually improving each week. It's a beautiful thing to be a part of.
Now, most of you will have no idea what this is all about, but I gotta give a shout out to my boyz:
