The Renegades played the first game of the winter playoffs this afternoon. We had a bye in the first round as a result of our first place finish in the regular season. Today we faced off against the Ice Hawks, who advanced as a result of defeating the Klondike Maulers last week. We kept falling behind by a goal and battling back. With the score 3-3 we finally scored to take the lead for the first time in the game, eventually adding one more later in the third period. We almost got an empty net goal late in the game when they pulled their goalie to make that last push. We skated away with a 5-3 victory and a berth in the Winners Tier of the semi-finals. We face off against the Gators on Wednesday night. If we can win that game, we will secure our spot in the best of three final round, scheduled to start on April 14th. I'm kind of hoping that my 50th birthday present will be another hockey championship...
