Semi-Final Victory

We played the Padres in the first game of the semi-final best of three a few days ago and won it in Overtime.  Today we played game two.  Our team was really prepared and determined, and we knew that the Padres, with their backs to the wall, would come out flying.  I had a full roster lined up and some lines and defense pairs pre-arranged.

The Padres scored first on a slap shot from the top of the circle, about half way through the first period.  Our goalie Travis, who is actually our backup, playing for our injured regular goalie, stood on his head through the rest of the game.  We scored one late in the first to even things up, and then another late in the second to take the lead.  By the end we were outshooting them 53 to 22.  We added two insurance goals in the last 2-1/2 minutes and coated to a 4-1 victory, and a spot in the divisional finals.

Some big moron on their team, wearing jersey number six, was being a total asshole.  He took an interference penalty in the second period.  Then in the third he ran right into me, fell down, and I got a tripping penalty for it.  The guys managed to kill that one thankfully.  Then in the last two minutes, after they took their time out, we had them hemmed in to their half of the rink.  They couldn't even pull their goalie for an extra attacker.  This moron cross-checked Ashley, the only female player on either team, and dropped her to the ice.  This guy had probably 6 inches in height and 50 lbs on her.  Her husband Johnny lost it and started to go after him, but cooler heads prevailed and we held him off.  Obviously this clown was just trying to get someone suspended.  He went so far as to take a swing at one of our guys... again one of our smaller guys, knocking him to the ice, in the handshake line after the game was over.

The Divisional Finals start this Wednesday against a team called the Itchy Beavers.

I started a playoff beard just before our first game.  It's getting pretty horrendous looking, and really itchy.  I sure look forward to winning this thing so I can finally shave it off.
