"He's choking how, everybody's joking now..."

We cant play a game like game one. Our team is not highly skilled or highly talented. We are built to out hustle and out work. We have to use our "intimidating size" to win battles in the corners, create turnovers and hopefully capatalize on opprotunities. We dont have the ability to out skill teams. Our success starts and ends at defense. And, frankly, we lost game one because of soft goals and a loose defense. Scoring was not the issue. If we score 7 we should win. But we didn't and change was needed. That's what the captain wanted. "Oh Captain, My Captain!"

Ok, I'm going to be honest. I had no idea who the captain was until a few games later when the infamous timeout occurred, and I'd like to think that's been smoothed over. But seriously, im not over it. But we can talk about that later. After the melt down in our first game, change was decided. A shake up. But was it for the better or just a complete overreaction?

Game 2: That's what Im talking about

Game two was going to make or break everything. How could we possibly continue to enjoy ourselves if we started 0-2? And lets be honest, if we lost, Jared would have been a wreck for game 3.

It was a game we needed to have. On the surface, the big change was moving Griff up to offense and Borges D. But it was actually more than that. Jared was now playing with John and Brett with Griff. Big shakeup. And it was just what we needed. Borges was instant offense. He managed 2 goals early. One was a quick shot from the point and the other on a penalty shot. We wore the Snipers out. It was a masterful effort by the entire Alliance Team (woops!).

It was actually a very close game (3-1 at the half)until we made it into a laugher as the Snipers became tired out (and uninterested). 10-2 Final. Smiling faces again.

Let me apologize now. Game 3 recap will be much better. I really had nothing for this. I had something completely different last night but I just couldn't make it work the way I wanted. It would have been cold hearted of me to leave it as it was. I scrapped something together, just now, when my original Idea fell to pieces. I couldn't invest anymore time into this disappointment. I had to move on.

To me this picture was the most bothersome....Who was defending this guy?? Obviously we have no idea who was out there, or the situation. Maybe the Dman had the ball behind the net? Thats the only thing I could come up with. But based on what goalie is doing, I'd say thats not the case. I was debating...is that Tony?
