Played the most instense game last night. I actually won enough hut games in january to qualify for pro playoffs! So I start my first game and boom down 3-0. I claw back to mack it 3-2, but just before the end of the 1st they score to go up 4-2, and you could see the life sucked out of my team.
Come out in the second and hit everything that moves, and the goalie stands on his head and I am able to pot two quick ones to tie it up after 4-4 after two.
Heading into the third its a back to back game with both goalies playing well. Then the puck is poked off my stick behind, they try to clear but at the top of the slot Josh Smith snags it with his glove, brings it in and snipes it low blocker side. And then 9 minutes of getting my chances to get the insurance and Lehtonen makes an enormous save and I win my first ever hut playoff game. It was intense.
The best part is the guy I was playing had Oiler's jerseys on a top line of stacked Eberle, Hall and RNH.
Go into the second game with the crowd behind me and open the scoring on the powerplay on a delayed penalty call and get out to a 3-0 lead after 1 and then right after the intermission the guy quits, semi finals baby!!
