Bonus update. I don't have the most time in the world so back to just pictures today. We open with a home game against the Capitals, who are 2nd in the East. I probably forgot to mention it last time, but Ecco took over at goalie for the last game. Birdstrike was tired and wanted a day off. He's back in the lineup today, though. Halfway through the first period, Poque picks up the loose puck behind our net. Quickly, he hits it out to Murmur Twin who in turn pushes it up to busb, flashing down the left wing. Busb centers it back for Murmur Twin, who Makes no mistake about putting the biscuit in the basket. 1-0. #8 MMM Whatchya Say took a shot and the goalie spilled it. #33 Retro Futurist was on hand to tap it in, a real poachers goal. 2-0, which is how the first ends. Don't have a screenshot, but it gets made 2-1 after a comedy of errors halfway through the second. Poque turns the puck over near the middle of the rink for some reason. A few passes later and a s

Rounding the corner

I apologize for missing Friday. I was in Delaware and didn't get home until super late, followed by a day trip to Dallas for the weekend so time was not in high supply. I will do a make-up entry tomorrow. Additionally, I'm trying something new this entry: Video! Unfortunately, it took a couple of tries to get things just right so the first game or two of this update will have sparse information. Let's just get started. First up, the Sabers at home. Here is PMush scoring! Unfortunately, that was the only good thing to happen to us this game. Next up, Ducks on the road!  A well taken RF goal.  And there here is This Is A Stickup scoring, but only in picture form. Those were the only highlights I managed.  Ok, on to this game against the Canadiens, where I have an actual lot of highlights to get through.  The puck gets wrapped around the back of the net. Stickup went out to collect but Hats beats him there. Hats backs

Wrapping up a road trip

We have the second half of that road trip to tackle so lets get to it. We're away to the Captials. They're 5th in the East to our 5th in the West. The first period didn't have a lot happen in it at all. In the second the deadlock was broken by a good effort by Fisk. The Fisk goal was about the only action of the second period. Pretty dull proceedings. Things were going pretty well until Poque just decided to stop skating after the puck at one point. That turnover led to a goal and sent the game to overtime.Also the puck deflected off of Birdstrike. Way to go, keep. Well, you can probably guess how that turned out. The winning goal came at the very end of overtime. There was a faceoff happening with 20 seconds left so I pulled this up to type that previous paragraph because I just knew  how things were going to go. Of course Poque decided to make amends for being a bonehead earlier. Since I forgot that, and because I decided to not bother copying the bottom half
