PLAYOFFS GAME 2 vs. The Avalanche
What a wild game!
The Av’s
started the scoring on their first shift with a goal from Ryan Holly, they followed
it up by taking a 2 goal lead with a goal form Brady K. It was the wake up call
that the Sharks team needed to get into the game. Unfortunately Sawyer got a
little too fired up and took a body checking penalty when he threw himself at Harrison to stop a breakaway. (Both needed a little help up after the hit
and both seem to be doing ok after the game) The Sharks successfully killed the
penalty and Max tied
the game up in the first minute of the second. That would be the only goal
scored in the 2nd period as both teams goalies stood on their heads.
Max delivered the lead to the Sharks at the beginning of the 3rd which
was answered by Harrison 2 minutes later. At the
10 minute mark Tanner sent a pass to Lydia who was camped out in front
of the Av’s net. She didn’t hesitate to pound it home and re-gain the lead for
the Sharks. The lead would only last for about a minute as Harrison
scored his second of the game to tie it up. Ryan Heath scored with 4 and a half
left in the 3rd to take the lead. The lead would be padded when Harrison scored his 3rd at the 3 minute mark.
The Sharks had to find a way to get back in the game so they sent out Logan,
Max and Carson to go hunting for a couple late goals. Logan
found one at 2:27 on a pass from Carson.
The Sharks tried a last ditch effort by pulling the goalie with 40 seconds to
go, but it didn’t work out. The end score was 6-5.
I was
really impressed with our whole defensive corps again today, positional; they
were really good, we just have to get a little more aggressive in front of our
net. We did a lot better job this week holding the offensive zone as well. Way
to go Gabe, Colin, Bryson and Sawyer. A special mention needs to go to Williem
(our goalie) for turning away 31 shots today, several of them being breakaways.
The entire coaching staff had a hard time picking our hardest workers because everyone
did so well, but in the end the shark teeth went to Zach on forward and Gabe on
defence. Way to go guys.
Next week
we play the Rangers and we will have Kalib back from his sabbatical, I
can’t wait.
Until then,
See you at the Rink,
Scott
