On Wednesday evening the Renegades faced off against the 2nd Place Hungry Beavers. For a change I didn't have to drive all the way across the city as the game was down here on the south side of Edmonton, at Kinsmen Arena. It was nice to only need 10 minutes to get to and from the game for a change...
More importantly, this was an opportunity for the Renegades to attempt to secure a playoff spot. It was a very close and hard fought game. We held a lead for most of the game, but never by more than one goal. When the clock finally ran out at the end of the third period we found ourselves ahead by a final score of 5 to 4. This does not clinch a playoff spot for us, but it puts us quite a bit closer.
Only the Bulldogs are capable of catching us and knocking us out of playoff contention. They have two games remaining, and would need to win both games to knock us out. We have one game remaining, on Sunday morning against the 1st place Canadians. If we win, tie or take it to overtime we will clinch a playoff berth. I am working towards getting a solid line up together for that game as we play all winter for a shot at this and now need to give it everything we have.
