Game 20
 

Home Up


 

February 22nd, 2014              

    What started out as a promising game quickly devolved into more of the same. The Storm team fired out of the opening faceoff to dominate possession of the puck early. In fact, they grabbed the lead for the first time all season by scoring in the opening minutes of action. That was followed up with another goal, giving them a 2 goal lead! Hopes were sky high at this point, but there was an uneasy feeling in the air about the lead. Sure enough, the Lansing team struck back just as quickly to tie things up at 2 before adding another pair of goals to grab a 4-2 lead at the end of the first period. From there on out it was an endless parade to the penalty box for the Storm (for one player - who gathered so many calls that he wound up being kicked out of the game) and goals for the Senators. By the time the game was over it was another defeat for the Storm kids, this time by an 11-2 score.

    Drew played decent today. He started and ended strong, going hard after the puck and battling against the boards. He held possession of the puck a few times and made some nice passes. Unfortunately it was nowhere near enough to spark his team to victory...
