    Today's game got off to a rough start for the Lapeer Storm team, as they gave up goal after goal after goal to open the action. For whatever reason, the team came out very flat footed today, and it left them in a hole early. By the time they had settled down some, the Royal Oak Eagles had scored 5 first period goals on their way to a 5-0 lead. Despite giving up 3 additional goals in the second period, the Storm team had played much better, even getting some scoring chances of their own. The third period was another struggle defensively, as they gave up 5 more goals, but the team finally managed to get on the board offensively, scoring 2 goals of their own. Drew played decently today - I wouldn't say he was great, but he did make a few good plays. He also could have had better positioning from time to time, but that remains an issue that is improving for the entire team. Ultimately the 13-2 score wasn't entirely indicative of the action on the ice, as things got a bit chippy from time to time. Thankfully our kids stood tall and battled hard, despite the score and the defeat.
