Fuck me, what a game! We certainly don't like to make it easy for ourselves, do we? 4-1 down, before mouting a stunning comeback to take the game 5-4 in OT. Phew.
I swear that I was going to have a fucking heart attack during the final period, as MKL looked like they might just about hang on for the win, despite pressure from Tony and the boys. And the gamewinner in OT was sublime. A beuatiful break, a genius pass, and a stunning finish made for a truly worthy matchwinner.
And damn well done to Adam summerfeild who, despite a few errors (especially for MKLs 3rd goal), never let his head drop, and gerw in confidence as the game progressed. Not too shabby for a 19yr old rookie who has played less than a dozen games as starter in the past couple of seasons.
Player of the night was Jakko, who simply hit everything that moved, and made some cracking plays in the zone.
Plonker of the night was Nick Poole for taking a dumbass 10 minute misconduct in the aftermath of the Phoenixs game tieing goal, just when the MKL needed his experience on the ice. and he was bloody lucky not to be called again during OT for standing on the seat in the penalty box and trying to shout instructions over the plexi. Tut-Tut.
And as for the ref, Goodwin..... Argh, he was so fucking frustrating. the 1st period was a nightmare with him seemingly determined to penalise the Phoenix for everything he could, including a bizarre 10 minute personal misconduct on Big Ed (Ed has word with Goodwin over the placement of a face-off, had the puck passed to him, and played it into the zone. Goodwin was stood in the way, blew his shistle and intimated that Ed hit the puck at him deliberatley). 2nd period hew tried to redress the balance a bit, and in the 3rd, I just couldn't figure him out at all. Oh well.
Anything else... no, nowt for now. Laters.
