Tonight, we were down four guys to begin the game thanks to the infamous stomach bug. Throughout the game, the shortage continued, this time thanks to poor discipline.
One of the most embarrassing things in sports is to stoop to a lower team's level, and tonight we did just that. Playing a fairly square game through a period and a half, the score seemed stuck at 2-2. This didn't last long though, and the wheels began to deflate, and then continue to fall off. I led off the idiotic overload of selfish actions, and it seemed that we were never able to regain momentum.
Granted, one thing Prep does have is a strategic powerplay. With this, they scored three out of their four goals. Matt Hoof stood tall for us in net, but he could only do so much.
Playing into their trap of retaliation and careless mistakes, we dug ourselves a hole deep enough to drown an army.
Not in any way does this mean the end though, as there is plenty hockey left to be played in the season, but moreso in the remainder of this week. Tomorrow, Mount St. Charles comes to the Lou. I'll even throw out the Messier guarantee. We're coming out flying.
P..R...E...P.... PREP... PREP.... PREP.....

ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that prep, who "your" a fan of, lost to Hamden in the State tournament, and don't forget earlier this year at Hamden. Woohoo prep finnally got revenge, for the first time in 2 years. We all know, that prep plays dirty, and will never taste State tournament victory...in a while. Oh and Hamden has plenty of class, enough class to show a bunch of rich kids who pay tons of money, to go to "smarter" schools what they're paying for....Paying to get beat by a public school who can beat all odds. And show the state, they are...the best
ReplyDelete"enough class to show a bunch of rich kids who pay tons of money, to go to "smarter" schools what they're paying for....Paying to get beat by a public school". doesnt sound very classy or respectful to me.
ReplyDeletebut did you see the hockey game that broke out before the fight? hamden lost, and then lost to new canaan. so no, they're not "the best"
