In a heated struggle for the entire 36 minutes Garage Bar Duce pulled off a win over the Ice Hawks. A spectator after the game was quoted as saying “that was a fun game to watch, normally they suck to watch, but that one was good”.
The Ice Hawks had some skaters that could skate, cary the puck and sometimes pass it.
The the astonishment of the crowd, Garage Bar also skated, carried the puck and even sometimes passed it. The defensive paring of Spires and C Smith caused our goalie more angst than aid. Throughout the rink it could be heard Spires Screen Spires Screen, meaning I needed to get out the goalies way. Maybe next time Kid, maybe next time.
It was a fun scrappy game, there was pushing and jawing in a fun way, not a stupid cocky way. Guy would get in the crease, and he’d get shoved out, and he wouldn’t complain it was great.
I have to say it was one of the most fun games I can recall playing.
All in all it was a great game. Wish we’d have helped the Kid out a little more and prevented the 28 shots that he faced, but what can ya do?
Skate hard, rest, Skate hard!
