Suds Vs Tigers in Milton

Schlitz (22) vs Tigers

Monday March 8th

Milton Academy 8:10pm

1-0 loss

Alright. Here we have a Guestblog courtesy of BrotherBlogger Chris Fosdick. Here's Chris' take on what went down Monday night:

"Good skate, tough loss: 1-0.
We had 3 D, Valenti, George, Mark R.

2 forward lines: Larry, Nelson, Chris & Steve, Scott, Matt.

We were taking it to them for the 1st and 2nd periods with no luck. Their goalie is pretty good, and we had some very frustratingly close chances, but to no avail. Near the end of the 2nd they made an adjustment and took their two best forwards and put them on D against the Larry line. This created more of a problem and made it a closer game. It was a fast game, lots of rushing up and down the ice. We started to loose our legs as the game wore on (me mostly).

Brian played really well keeping us in there, and shutting down one clean breakaway. Near the end of the game we rallied and were taking it to them again, led by great hustle from Larry and his line. However, with less (or about) 2 mins. to go they had a chance on Brian, and while everyone was covered, the puck trickled in after Brian had made the first save. (From the bench it looked as if the puck actually bounced off the back of Brian's pad or leg.)

The game closed out with us on the wrong end. It was a great hard skate though, and about as good as D-level hockey gets. -- Chris

Ok. Not the result we are looking for, but sounds like a good skate and a competitive night at the rink. Thanks Chris.

Now we have a few words from our own favorite cagey vet Nelson Sharfman:

"We lost 1-0.
I was gross. I failed to score on three separate golden opportunities, and had another handful of shots beyond that in which I failed to convert. The team played a strong game. Brian was epic in net. I was lame. When is the next game? -- Nelson"

Thanks Nelson. Better luck next time.
