Moondawgs down but not out!
The Moondawgs played their 2nd game on Sunday but met the same opponent and fate as the previous Sunday. It was pretty much the same song and dance this go 'round too. Goals were scored and lots of them and none by the Moondawgs. The 1st period saw the Moondawgs only down a couple , the 2nd period just down a few more. However, in the 3rd period is when the Tripods really poured it on. A lot of cherry picking and breakways seemed to be their modus operandi, not seeming to care that the score was already 8-0 . I have to give it to them , they decided to stop shooting with 4 mins left after they were up 12-0. Swell group of guys huh ?
The Moondawgs were held off the score sheet but it wasn't for lack of effort. Believe it or not we actually spent more time on offense than we did the prior week. We just couldn't convert on those opportunities or the 4 or 5 breakways we had ourselves.
The only thing the Moondawgs can do is continue to skate and try to get better. I think now , most of us have realized that its going to be a long road. Its something I had forseen but hoped for a little more positive reenforcement than we have seen. I guess we really should not measure ourself based on the guys who have played for a while and chose to be in the lower leagues so they can feel good about their past hockey glory days. A true measuring stick will come a week from this Sunday on May 9th when we get to play some teams that are more on our level . Until then, we take our lumps and see where it takes us.
Keep Skating hard and good things will come guys!
