Steamers Hockey

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.

In a moment remeniscient of Russ (back in the days before Russ turned 15), Brent was caught dumping half of his precious Bud Light into a trash can. Was this a straight up case of alcohol abuse? You decide.

Brent did manage to finish a complete beer before wasting Chas’s money and destroying the team’s parking lot morale.

It’s unfortunate that on nights when the Steamers win, Brent still loses.

The Steamers pulled off another close win last night against the Golden Seals, beating them 3-2. Once again we played fairly well for such a short bench. That puts us on a 5 game unbeaten streak and a few games above .500. Much better than earlier this season.

In other news, I finished a bunch of code for some statistics, so take a look at some of the individual stats posted now. More to come.

Ok – it’s official – we’re streaking. We pulled off another win, this time against the Beachbums, and are now above .500 for the first time in a very long time. This one was a nice come from behind and finish it off in the last three minutes deal. And we did it with only 7 guys on the ice. I also realized that last week I won my 200th career game, which isn’t so bad for an old guy playing once a week.

We managed to pull off our second win of the season last night. The offense decided to show up and we actually scored only one less goal than we have during all the previous games combined. That pulls us back to a .500 record.

I also managed to get a few more pieces of the website working, so now our schedule page shows the results for the season, and there is a team stats page that currently only shows our record, but will eventually get a little more involved.
