The summer regular season came to a close last night with a game against the Wild. These guys have always played rough, and this game was no exception. It is supposed to be non-contact recreational hockey but there was a lot of crashing and banging last night. One of our guys got a game ejection in the first period for a hard check on one of the Wild players. The referees pretty much let us play through the entire game and didn't really call anything but the really obvious penalties. Then late in the game one of their players gave one of our guys a two-handed slash in the face. It was all the officials could do to hold back our guy and our team while the offending player was ushered off the ice with a game misconduct, and no doubt a suspension to follow. The game ended in a 4-4 tie at the end of regulation. We went to a shootout and our backup goaltender stood strong while our shooters scored twice. We went on to a 5-4 victory to close out the season. We finished in third in the standings and advance to our first playoff game on Wednesday. If we can continue on a roll maybe we can make another push for the championship.
