Wolves Open Season on High Note
So, as I said I was going to do, here's an update on the team's first game: we won 7-1. I actually think our team could destroy the team we played last night (Homerhawks), but it was good for a first game. We started off slowly, but luckily they didn't have a goalie for the first couple of minutes, and we got one in on the empty net. WE ended up scoring three each in the first and second and one in the third...
It was different to look at the olive green jerseys in front of me, instead of blue or white. Though, I think that was the case for everyone. The jerseys all looked pretty nice together with the socks. I also think the lines we had together will work better as we get to know each other. We were also missing 4 guys last night, and they will certainly help when they are back. I think we can challenge for the league championship, we just need to iron out the inconsistencies.
As for myself, I could have played better. I counted a total of 12 shots on me, which is pretty low, buy the goal that was scored was annoying, and if it weren't for my defenseman George, I would have had two against me. He knocked one out of the air that had gone behind me. I typically play better against better teams, so next week should be a good challenge against one of the better teams in the B league.
It was a good start, and I think we've got a bunch of good guys who I'm looking forward to playing the whole season with.
