Steamers Hockey

On Monday, the Steamers suffered a 0-3 loss to the Boston Brewers and let their season record sink down to 9-9-2. The team is still in the playoff hunt with only four games left to play. At least we didn’t give up four goals in the third period. That’s a nice change…

For the second week in a row now, this author has given up four goals in the third period. At least this week we managed to have a seven goal lead coming out of the second, so we did eventually pull off a win. It was an 8-4 win against the Badenovs, the first place team in the division, so I guess I shouldn’t be too bitter. I am however, tired of the collapsing late in the game.

Some might argue that the breakaways in the third might have been a little more common than usual. I might be one of those people. Some might also argue that it could have been worse, had I not, at least for this last game, started coming out to tackle some guys before getting schooled. Ken called it “aggressive.” That’s a good word for it. I call it “having a headache driving home.”

Maybe next week we’ll decide to play for more than 30 minutes…

In other news, while writing this article, I googled the terms “hockey collapse” to try and find some appropriate graphics to stuff in the post and found this image of smokin’ hot Dutch field hockey player Ellen Hoog. So I figured I’d stuff her in the post too. Enjoy.

In our first comeback win of the season, the Steamers beat the second place Brewers on Monday night. Even after yours truly gave up a goal from outside the blue line. Sort of reminded me of Ron Hextall. In contrast, on the “played well” side of the ice, the captain had five points.

In other news, a few more games have been added to the schedule, so get your tickets now.

In a game whose highlights included two different kinds of beer and Eric deliberately shooting pucks at referees, disaster was averted as the Steamers beat the Beachbums 4-2.

Emergency management officials were alerted after Russ scored his second goal of the night in the second period. Scientists have demonstrated over the past few years that if Russ pulls off a hat trick, the Earth would plunge into the Sun.

The Steamers continued to improve their record, and remain undefeated against the Mounties of the Great White North this season, after posting a 3-2 win last night.

I posted a quick update to the stats to reflect knocking off the Rampage on Monday night 3-1 in our first playoff game of the summer season. For once, we actually had a full bench, and we skated very well. We are now in the Frozen Four, and play the Milford Fire on Monday night.

What a crappy way to end the regular season. We had a very short bench. I played like crap. The rest of the guys played like crap. We looked crappy.

The only good thing was that it was a meaningless game against a team that we’d already knocked out of playoff contention. I just don’t get it. Like so many other teams in this league, the Rampage seem to skate a bunch of guys who have Napoleon complexes swinging their sticks around like they are ice skating in Braveheart. But hey – guess which team is NOT playing next week…

According to our captain, with our tie on Monday we earned ourselves at least 4th place in the division and a spot in the playoffs. Not too bad after having a short bench all season.

Monday night saw us play the Golden Seals, and we ended up skating to a 1-1 tie. A pretty good game all around. The first two periods we spent a lot of time down on their end of the ice, which is always fine by my account. Then, typical of our performance all season, we slowed down a whole lot in the third period and managed to stave off a few different scoring chances.

One more game to go in the regular season. Would be nice to end on a winning note.

A few notes:

• Russ – where the hell are you?
• Eric – no the Taco Bell was not open past 11pm. And you are a douchebag.

Put your clothes back on folks – the streak is over.

After playing a stellar first two periods, I completely fell apart and let in an s-load of goals in the third and we ended up losing 6-2. I want to forget this one.

The streak continues. We managed to win yet another game last night, 2-1 over the Rampage. That brings us to 5-0-1 over our last six games. It’s certainly an interesting feeling. And I also finished all my beer. What a good night overall.
