Another great game

Icemen vs. Puck'N Monkeys - has become one of the great rivalry games for us. We had another fun game last night. For the first time in Monkey history we had 16 players. We had a extra forward & three lines of D, three lines of F/C. It was crazy!! We know that being summer, there will be some people missing, but we never thought we'd have a full squad at any game. I'm sure it might happen again, but who knows.
So we started off, not really slow... but both teams played solid, until those darn Icemen put one in the net first. One of our newer Monkeys, but a teammate of mine from a former team, put us on the board to tie. We managed to tip the puck away in the neutral zone & I knocked it into on sides, Pete then picked it up, walked in & put it past the goalie. Scott then scored one, Darryl another & Scott again to end the game with a 4-3 win. We took the lead at 2-1 & never let it go. There was a lot of energy, short shifts & just excitement with our team. It was nice to see & I hope it keeps up throughout the summer session. Not sure when our next game is, but it should be posted in the next few days. I will post it as soon as I find out. GO MONKEYS!!
