Say it ain't so, but unfortunately is was, 1st round (we had a bye) loss knocks the mighty Alliance out of contention. The heavy favorites with a +20 goals differential was taken out by the number 8 or 9 seed.
That was a disappointing loss yes... but a devastating loss, not at all. That team was good and they beat us 5-4.
There is alot to say, but bottom line, in my opinion, they out hustled us, they out shot us, they won.
Sure, we had some horrible bad calls. A sure goal, that was called off the crossbar, from a Brett rocket shot. Brett why did you shoot that so hard?
The last minute tying goal, that was called a no goal AFTER IT WAS SCORED, because of a hand pass. The ref missed that the ball actually was deflected off Brett's stick FIRST, before Ron took the ball, turned, squared up and shot for the score. Then the ref runs in and says no goal, hand pass. That was a bummer of a call.
There was the no call high sticks that should of been penalty shots for us, that went uncalled.
I probably missed some stuff that others will recall.
Finally, I believe the game was not lost because of their go ahead goal. Sure Johnny, then Nick and finally Darin EACH might have been able to make a different play on that speed rush, but it happened fast and, and in my opinion, is not the reason we lost. We had plenty of other chances to go ahead, but it just didn't happen for us.
It was a fun and should of ended with us hoisting up the cases of power aids. We had the team to do it, but not on this day. This day we were the Washington Capitals that were beat by a Montreal team in the first round of the playoffs.

well said.
The biggest shame was that we blew a 3-1 lead.
It was fun and disappointing, no doubt. But at least Jack and john got home for "lost".
Just noticed that the team that beat us made it to the finals and lost to Rockem Sockem in a shoot out. Final score was 4-3
It was there for us without a doubt.
yeah just saw that too Ron.
i wanna know Nick, what Darrin should have done different on that cross ice one-timer game winner
Ron i mean. I thought Nick did the recap
Just saw the results...so angry we didn't win!
BTW, Lost finale was very good till last 20 minutes...now I'm very aggravated about that too!
one correction. Upon careful review, it was a hand pass
Hey Brendon & Brett, can we get a DVD of the games? I am going to need something to watch the next couple of weeks now that Lost is done...
And even our last game was not as bad as the Lost finale was!
Darin told me after the game that he could of stopped that goal.
I think he said he was anticipating a high one timer, instead got a medium slow roller.
I should have had my left pad on the ice on that across the crease pass but I didnt and he slipped it in right under it. whether he fanned on the shot or meant to do that I'm not sure.
Im proud of you guys! Sounded like a team effort. No gripin (yet0 about others mistakes! now regarding LOST.. best ending man.. i loved it. I prob teared through half the show, during the whole remembering piece. But after some thought.. So they all died..Did the plane with kate and saywer and them make it or not. or did it not. Why did Ben not join them inside? i should save my musings for when the LOST thread starts..
Again Im proud of you guyZ!
Brendon, send me the video of game 4 if you could by email or something. driscollmasonry@hotmail.com
