Winter Hockey - End of the Regular Season

The Renegades played our last game of the winter season last night.  We needed to at least take it to overtime and get one point in the standings in order to secure the last playoff spot.  It was not to be as we lost in regulation time to the 2nd place Klondike Maulers.  It didn't help any that I scored a goal into our net.  I was defending on a two on one rush and nicely tipped a shot right up and over our goaltender.  I guess we put ourselves into this predicament as we let too many games slip away during the regular season.  So despite the fact that we were second in most goals for, second in fewest goals against, and had a win/loss record better than at least two teams that made the post season, we did not make the cut.  It ended up that divisional realignments and point adjustments took us out.  It was up to us to win some games later in the season in order to make it and we were just not up to the task.  So, we will play in a tournament this weekend, and then have a little over a month off before the start of the summer season in May.  Hopefully we can be a little more focused at that.
