CanuckInUSA 0 #1 April 17, 2003 For those of you out there who appreciate the fine sport of ice hockey, my Denver area adult "B" Division hockey team won our 2nd straight championship tonight and we've actually only lost 2 games in the last two seasons that we've been together (one each year). Tonight's game was a hard fought match. Our opponents gave us a good fight. We went into the 3rd period trailing 1-0 and our opponents scored early in the 3rd to make it 2-0. But we didn't give up and tied the game 2-2. And then just like that, the tides changed and it looked like we were done. I was forced into taking a penalty half way into the 3rd as a dude on the other team had a break away and I caught up but tripped him (going for the puck of course). And to add insult to injury, one of our other players also got a penalty on the same play. But as luck (or skill) would have it, one of our best players stole the puck and broke in and scored a 5 on 3 short handed goal to go ahead 3-2. Then once my penalty was over, I scored to make it 4-2 (kind of a flukey goal, but I'm a defenseman so I take any goal I can get). Final score ... the good guys and defending champs 6, the not so good guys but very worthy opponents 2. Good stuff I tell you. And now I hear our team will be even stronger next year as we are adding some fresh new and young talent to the team. Ok ... back to skydiving.

PLFKING 4 #3 April 17, 2003 Nothing like a shortie to turn the tide. Send me your schedule for next year -- I may need a new team to pull for, since Detroit's ineptness has them sitting at home watching the rest of the Cup chase. Actually, the Wings played pretty well....but Giguere's netminding was incredible. Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, now you can root for the Stars, who I might add are still in the playoffs. You're lucky I moved to a non-hockey town and am absorbed by basketball these days, or you'd get some real abuse.

Sounds liks it's time to move up to "A" league, you cherry pickers! Congrats tho! Hockey is a great game! I started playing in-line hockey years ago, and eventually moved to ice (I'll never forget my youngest brother asking me "Where in the hell did you learn to ice skate?", cause he grew up in Texas too!)... but unlike you, I suck, and play in a D or low C league...

PLFKING 4 #8 April 17, 2003 Like you have a clue as to what "real abuse" is......Please don't make me make you cry......it would ruin my reputation here as a kind, warm-hearted, sensitive individual who is loved and revered by everyone he meets.
