A 4-2 Win!!
We played the Red Raiders @ 10:45 p.m. last night & won 4-2. They scored first & Steve replied with a change up goal. We then took the lead with a great one time goal from Dan, with assists coming from Aaron & me. The Red Raiders tied it up & we headed into the 3rd 2-2. Brie then hit the back of the net with assists from Dan & me again. Darryl then capped off the night with a great play, keeping the puck in the zone & then firing one past the goalie. Don't know who assist on that goal since I wasn't one of them hehe. It was a great game all around. I do believe our next game is next Tuesday. I'll post later, I need to head to bed. GO MONKEYS!!

A Hard Fought Loss...
It was tied 2-2 for two periods, in fact we battled back from a 0-2 deficit. But in the end, we just ran out of steam. Yes we were missing a few players, but in the end we could have won that game. We just fell short. There was some nice passing to set up some great one timers. We had a number of shots, just right at the goalie. It kept the game exciting, but in the end... a loss is a loss. On that note, I shall put away my gear & get some sleep. GO MONKEYS!!

Game Change...
Our Sunday game has been changed. We now play at 8:30 p.m. vs. Hackers - Everett, Main Ice.
Now the Monkeys don't have much history with the Hackers as I do. We do have some connections. A former Monkey is on the Hackers, but he played with them from the beginning, since we were in seperate divisions. I have a little more history with the Hackers based on the fact that the team started from my learn to skate team ( formerly known as Rennys Rats ). It was a team I was originally asked to play for but the price was too high for me. Then shortly after I was asked to play on the Black Katz for a lower fee, apparently the team was sponsored. The Black Katz later took some of the Hackers players & that created a rivalry. It was a heated rivalry that included some fairly high scoring games. Especially during my second session with the Black Katz, when the Hackers had two amazing players that dominated our division. It proved that two guys could carry a team to wins, but that theory fizzled during the playoffs. The constant bitching & whining between the two teams created some bad blood. Through it all I remained friends with one player & eventually he came to play with the Monkeys once the team was created. He also remained with the Hackers & after our first session he went back. I don't blame him, the cost of playing for two teams is too much ( unless you've got some nice coin ) & loyalty to the first team that you played for is a good thing to have. So I wasn't mad when decided to not come back. There... a little history to make this short post... longer. GO MONKEYS!!

Sweet Revenge...
What is worse?? A 8-2 blowout loss, or losing a 2-1 game?? I think that a loss is a loss, no matter what the score is. At least in a blowout it was never your game, but in a 2-1 loss, you had chances to win & it was taken away from you. On that note...
This game started the complete opposite of our last game. Both teams were playing tough & finally late in the 1st they managed to find the back of the net on a power play. It took most of the second, for us to put our first goal on the board. Brie made a nice play getting the puck behind our net & up to Christine. There was nice touch pass up the ice to me & I was able to handle it ( we were having problems with handling passes all night ). The puck hopped a little, but it made the defender miss the puck & I was able to maintain possesion & put a shot far side of the goalie for a game tying goal. Midway through the third I drew a tripping penalty on a partial breakaway. That gave us another power play & the team came through. I don't remember who put it in the net, but this is how I think it went down. Glow put a shot on net & then it was whacked either by Ian or Steve, & on the rebound one of the two put it past on the second attempt. Game winner!! Debb stood on her head for the final 3 minutes, including a 10- 15 second moment where the goalie was pulled & she didn't have her stick. It was a furious final 55 seconds, but in the end... Sweet Revenge!! GO MONKEYS!!
