On Wednesday April 2nd the Renegades played our first playoff game. It was against the first place Canadians, who have defeated us every time we met during the regular season. We jumped out to an early two goal lead, but then the Canadians came roaring back. The scored five times over an extended stretch of time to take a 5-2 lead. We go one back and thought we might be able to rally, but they put an end to that by scoring a 6th goal. We really put the pressure on near the end of the game. I took a point shot from the right side and it went along the ice, through a maze of legs and through the goalie's five-hole. That bought us back to within two, but we ran out of time and the game ended as a 6-4 loss, bumping us down to the loser bracket. The Thunder also lost their first game, to the Hungry Beavers. So the Renegades will play the Thunder tonight. The loser will be eliminated, and the winner will go on to face whoever loses between the Hungry Beavers and the Canadians. Our playoff hopes are still very much alive, but we have to win our next two games to make it to the finals.
