My hockey team

Posted this in the unrelated thoughts thread about midnight. I figured we needed more topics in the Sports forum

WOW!

Just got home from my hockey game and I am amped up

Play-off game, whoever wins moves on to the championship game.

My team was down 6-4 with 1:30 left. I decide that I need to pull myself so we can get an extra skater out there. We score with 40 seconds left.

Now might be a good idea to put myself back in, but I figure it's all or nothing!
With 20 seconds left, the other team gets the puck and put a shot on net. It's wide!!!

The clock is ticking down 8...7.... we get a shot on, but a defenseman knocks it down. One of my guys steals the puck and passes it in front for a one timer with 1.6 seconds left and we SCORE.

Tie game, we went to sudden death overtime and scored within a minute.

What a barn burner!!!!   


 

Needless to say, I am very happy. We get to play our arch rivals next week in the big game.

Good night

Congrats! Good luck destroying your arch rivals next week.

[captain_nintendo]

Thanks.

We played them 2 weeks ago and beat them 9-1
Of course I expect a 1 goal game where it comes right down to the end this time around.

Championship game is tonight at 10:30. We play our arch rivals the "Rolling Stones". Every time we play them, the game pace gets pushed up another notch. I'll be expecting a lot of shots because they have me scouted very well.

I hope to be posting about a victory tomorrow morning

[UNFORGIVINGPAIN]

KILL THEM!

I look forward to seeing that posting tomorrow morning about your teams victory.

[captain_nintendo]

Thanks for the post!

Well, I just got home from the game... And I really should be getting some sleep since I get up for work in 3 1/2 hours, but I am too amped up.

We won 5-2.

Scoring went like this

1 for us.

1 for us.

1 for them (boo)

1 for us

1 for us

1 for us

1 for them ( with about 2 minutes left in the game )


I got run into hard by one of thier players. I thought about punching him in the face, but I didn't want to cost us the game. I was covering the puck, and to be fair to him, the whistle had not blown. So he decided to ram me and try and knock it in. Needless to say I didn't budge an inch. I was on the ground allready, and decided to fall over on him very hard. He got a penalty for running into me on purpose.

We basically controlled the game the whole way. There was a few spots where they had some chances due to our mistakes, but I handled them. I think I faced 25 shots (maybe more).

Anyhow, I think I am going to call it a night.

Good night and thanks for reading!

HOLY SHIT ATARI WIZARD POSTED!!!!!!! Is he back?

I finally graduated and got assigned to Fort Drum, NY. This place is god awful! It's been quite a while since I've had a bunch of free time to sit and browse the boards. =)

[Tynstar]

Well nice to see you safe and back on the boards.

[shaggy]

Congrats man and welcome back Atari Wizard.  You going to be back on for awhile?

[captain_nintendo]

Thanks guys!

I also played in my Sunday league game tonight. We won 12-3....

With a little help from NHL All-Star Ladislav Nagy!  

It was really cool actually playing in a game with a current NHL player. Ladislav's sister dates one of the Slovokian players on my team. Nagy was done with the play-offs and he lives in the valley. He will probably play with us next week as well. 

Anyhow, I thought it was cool and had to post about it.

[TraderJake]

That's pretty cool. You guys should kick even more ass than you already do!
