Summer Hockey - Playoff Game One

Yesterday was a very busy day...  I put in the usual 10 hour day at the office, and then hurried home to deal with a few odds and ends and to pack up my hockey gear.  While I was doing that, Margarit took the girls to their weekly riding lesson at Kel-J-Do Stables.  We met around 8:30PM at a restaurant to have a birthday dinner for Helena.  Our little girl turned FIVE on the 17th.  An hour later I had to rush across town to make it to a late hockey game.  This was the first playoff game of the summer season and as luck would have it we faced off against our old rivals, the Gators.  We defeated them a few months ago to win the winter championship.  This time around it was their turn to be victorious.  We were down by a goal late in the game and pulled our goaltender for an extra attacker.  We managed to jam the puck in with seconds left to tie the game and send it to overtime.  But we ended up losing in a shootout.  We will still continue to play in the round robin, but now need to win every game to stay alive.  Our next game will be on Monday, against an opponent that is yet to be decided.
