Silver Linings - part 1
Tough game, but many positive things to take away...

While it is not a pleasant feeling to come away from a game on the wrong side of a lopsided score, it is important to focus on the positive things that happened and build on them. Obviously we have several aspects of the game to work on. I think if we continue to remain positive and work on some fundamentals we can develop into a more competitive team. Our man to man coverage still needs improving but it was quite a bit better than it has been.

We did manage to keep the other team off of the scoreboard for about 11 and a half minutes to start the third period, unfortunately some late penalty trouble led to us getting overpowered at the end of the game. While they had a lot of shots during the game ( 75 ), the coaching staff was encouraged by the fact that we did block 11 shots and we actually had 20 shots at their net.

I hope all can stay positive moving forward, remember we still have a 14 way tie in our scoring race. The goal to lessen the other team's shots remains in place, let's give ourselves a chance.

Thank you all for a strong effort.

Coach Mike.
