4-3 loss to the Spirit.

This team is tough to play. They are big and play the points like professionals. I think they are the hardest team we have ever faced, so in saying that, 4-3 is respectable. Refs were def on their side tonight as evidenced by the no-call” concussion hit on Graham.

We can still beat these guys though as two of their goals could have went either way... softies I would really like to have back. I hope we get to ELIMINATE them in the playoffs!!

3-6

BTW: We clinched a playoff spot!!! ;-)

Sorry I wasn't able to finish the game folks but.... Ricci, thanks again for the escort home. With a big headache for the evening I ended up spending the night at emerg after all - with the end conclusion being a slight concussion and the small facial cuts and bruises (yeah, there were a few of those, I guess from when the helmet got turned sideways?) all being minor. So, as long as there's no nausea or vomiting after exercise later in the week, I might be able to go again as early as next week but we'll see how it goes as my neck is killing me. Hope to see everyone soon!

No probs, anytime.
Glad to hear you got checked out.

I think I had a run in with that big guy our first game against them too. I saw him last minute waiting for me at the blue line and I eased up. Still ended up on my ass though. Can't wait to play them again now.

Otherwise, sorry I had a horrendous game on D. Just plain really bad.

Hey Graham, glad to hear you got checked out too. These things can turn nasty very fast. Hope you feel better by next game.

Refs definately were Spirit friendly this game.

I could've stopped one of the late goals but I just stood there like a dumbass and watched it go by me. My apologies too for playing just plain bad.
