Summer Hockey - Regular Season Ends

The Renegades just played the last game of the summer regular season last night.  We went through a stretch, near then end, where we lost two or three games in a row.  Our season ended with two back to back games against a team called Snake Arm.  The first of the two games was on Monday July 18th, and this followed a game in which we had been blown out by the Crestwood Rockets.  On Monday it was our turn for a blowout and we defeated Snake Arm by a score of 10-4.  Their goaltender got rattled after about five goals and couldn't focus as we shovelled a bunch more past him.  Last night we played them again, but this time around they had a different goaltender.  It was a much closer game and we managed to hang on for a 5-3 victory.
All the teams in our division make the playoffs.  The bottom four play in the first round while the other six teams get a bye to the second round.  The standings were very close with no teams winning more than nine games through the season.  We finished with a record of 8 wins and 7 losses, good for fourth place overall.  We now get to rest for a week while the bottom four teams play the first round.  Our playoff round will begin after the long weekend against a team called Shootin' Blanks.  We played these guys once during the regular season and defeated them.  My team is really looking forward to some post season hockey...!!!
