Summer Hockey - Game 11

The Renegades played Game 11 of the summer season on Tuesday night.  We jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, and then the wheels fell off the Renegade machine.  A whistle-happy referee starting calling a bunch of borderline penalties, all against us.  I think he must have felt sorry for the Hawkeys, as they only had seven skaters and a goalie.  We got two very discretionary penalties, one for delay of game and one for unsportsmanlike conduct.  Five other penalties, mostly for very questionable calls, and twice we were down by two men.  Our power play battled through and only allowed one power play goal.  But we lost all momentum and the Hawkeys rallied in the third period to eventually defeat us by a score of 7-5.  This and recent other losses puts us in Sixth place with four games remaining.  We certainly need to string together a few wins to close out the season and hopefully make the playoffs.
