For what seemed like the 8th time out of 7 games we faced off against an opponent who also wore the color red. And once again we were required to wear the "alternative." Luckily everyone had a different colored shirt to fall back on so we weren't stuck wearing stupid pinnies.
From the onset this team tried to intimidate us. We waited for the prior game to finish hanging in our normal spot outside of the dek. They on the other hand have little coordination so they had to enter the dek though the door. No matter, they still barged onto our side of the dek, forcing us to use the opposite bench. Jokes. We were there first.
The indicated score does not justify how close this game actually was (close on the score sheet - these guys were bums and we played a terrible game, it should have been 14-3).
We started out well in the first period. Nordo showed up at game time offering us a much needed second sub. We controlled the play. Nordo was all over the place and scored two sneaky goals. Early on this goalie seemed suspect to just about everything. He played much better in the second and third periods.
The first period was a typical case of a team outplaying and out chancing their opponent but failing to put points on the board. We hit the post 5 or 6 times and missed a few wide-open opportunities. We were letting the Pubic Enemies hang in the game.
We have all seen this scenario before. By allowing an inferior opponent to hang around too long they actually believe that they can win the game, therefore they start to play their balls off (yes, even the chick on their team played her balls off). Next thing you know they get a couple cheap goals and we are only leading by 1 goal at second intermission.
At times we looked like a semi-pro dek hockey team. We were able to basically walk the ball into their zone and then control it for long stretches. We were using our points and moving well off of the ball. Then at other times we looked like the Pubic Enemies "B" team. I don't think I need to elaborate on that showing. Pitiful.
Finally with about 3 minutes remaining in the game and us still clinging to a 1 goal lead we sneak one in and go up by two. They then pulled their goalie. Adam put in an impossible angle empty netter, and then finished the scoring by roofing one near bar with their goalie back in the net. 3 goals in the final three minutes and we sent the Pubic Enemies to their Laser Tag meeting at Family Bowlaway with a loss.
We were still missing Goldie and Curt who are both still on the IR, the Reges brothers, and Phil, and Seth. Hope to see more dudes this coming week.
Next Game:
Our next game is Saturday at 8:00PM Vs. Predators who were 1-4 the last time the website was updated. I'm probably out because of Thanksgiving dinner at my house. Hopefully we all can make it. Take it easy dudes. Have a good week.
