Winter Hockey - Game 15

The Renegades played a very late game on Saturday night.  Fortunately it was a weekend as the game did not even start until 11:15PM, and by the time I got home and my gear put away after the game, it was 2:00AM.  We played the last place Icebreakers.  These guys are a pretty good team and would do a lot better if they could just get their players to show up.  This time around they only had six skaters and a goalie.  Before the mid-way point of the game one of their players got a game ejection for an accidental high stick to the face of one of our guys.  This left them with only five skaters that had to play the entire remainder of the game without a break.  Needless to say we outshot them, and controlled the play.  The shots on goal ended up to be 55-19.  The score was much closer and we only won by a final score of 7-5.  Our goalie got very cold and let in a couple of soft ones.  And they're goalie was really sharp and stopped almost everything we threw at him.  Our winning streak remains intact and now at the halfway point of the season we sit atop the standings with a record of 11 wins, three losses and one overtime loss.  There are two games coming up over the holidays and we may be challenged to get enough guys out to the rink as several of our players will be away on Christmas vacations.
