Winter Hockey - Game 24

The Renegades played a game on Sunday night against the Gators.  A number of our players were away for the Family Day long weekend.  Even though we had a full bench, we had a rather odd mix of players and our line combinations were all juggled around.  We quickly fell behind by two goals but eventually battled back to tie the game 3-3 late in the third period.  We tried to put on a push to win the game but got into some penalty trouble and allowed them to go ahead by a goal.  Then we pulled our goalie hoping to be able to score the equalizer.  They got an empty net goal and coasted to a 5-3 victory.  This was our only regular season meeting of the year with these guys but we will not doubt face them again in the playoffs.  We were satisfied in our comeback effort and know that we can keep pace with these guys.  Despite the loss we still maintain our hold on first place in our division.
