February 12 Hockey Night In Homewood

We played long time rivals, the Bulldogs tonight. They haven't lost a game this season. The Bulldogs beat us 3-2 with a late goal last time we played them. We have a three game winning streak on the line. It was a great night of back & forth hockey. Both teams had numerous chances, both goalies stood on their heads. We opened the scoring with a short handed goal. They took a 2-1 lead. The go ahead goal after I failed to clear the zone. We tied it early in the third period and took the lead on a great shot to the upper corner by Matt McCarthy. The Bulldogs tied the game with 45 seconds left. It ended a 3-3 tie. Ties are usually described as "like kissing your sister". this one should be described as "like kissing your sister if she is smoking hot" because it was a great game to play in. Every shift mattered. The pace was very fast and the game was played clean. A game like that is why we play hockey late on a Thursday night. For an hour and a half, hockey was the only thing on our minds, that's why we play. A cold one with teammates after game is another reason.
