This last week I had my first road trip with the Icerays. We played Wichita Falls Wednesday and Friday and then traveled to Dallas Friday night playing the Tornado the next night before heading home for Christmas!
Wednesday night we won 4-3 in a very chippy physical game against the Wildcats, I received my first penalty as an Iceray on a kneeing call of an awkward hit in our zone.
Friday night was a more disappointing game, losing 3-2 to the wildcats, with a late goal in the third period. This loss put us 7 points behind Wichita in the standings who we are chasing for a playoff spot.
Friday's game against the Tornado however, proved to be an extremely upsetting loss! We ended the first period up 2-0 with momentum and energy but, in the second we let up, took some bad penalties and the puck just wouldn't bounce our way. We again lost in the last minute to a shorthanded goal to lose 4-3 to the Tornado. We also ended our streak of 17 straight penalty kills when Texas scored their 5 on 3 goal in the third to take the lead.
Now i am back in Colorado, visiting friends and family, finishing final exams and working with Coach Cully after Christmas.
Merry Christmas everyone!
