Progress

Since the holiday break my team has been making progress that does not necessary show on the score sheet or the standings. So far in January we have played the second place team in our conference and the first place team in our conference. We were not expected to do well against either team. When we played the second place team we were winning the game until  the second place team tied the game with 28 seconds left. Seeing there is no overtime in our league the ended in a tie. Friday night we played the first place team who had been blowing out the teams they played. At the end of the second period of our we were down 4-1. When the final buzzer sounded the score was 7-1 and we had lost. While we lost on the scoreboard we won as a team. First, we did not let the other team blow us out or score double digits. This showed my team they could skate with the best team in our conference. Next we need to learn how to score more. We have a very good penalty kill unit and we are getting better at the powerplay. The next two games will be a good opportunities for us to get a win or two. Unfortunately for my team they are finally coming together but there is only a month left in the season.
