Winter Hockey - Game 20

The Renegades reached the 2/3 point of our season with yet another loss....  this time to the last place Hungry Beavers.  It was one of those awful ice times, at 7:30AM on a Saturday.  I had to get up before 6:00AM in order to be at the rink on time.  Three of our guys didn't show up and we were forced to play with a short bench.  The game was close and we found ourselves trailing by just one goal, with just over two minutes left to play.  But then the Beavers scored a power play goal to put the game pretty much out of reach.  We sort of gave up at that point and then they managed to shovel in two more late goals for a 8-4 victory.  We now sit tied for for third place in our division, and clinging to the last playoff spot.  With ten games remaining in the regular season it is time to put an end to the losing streak and start to string together a few wins.  We have a chance to turn things around on Tuesday evening, with a late game at 10:45PM.  I'll take a late ice time like this any time over these awful morning games...!!
