2010-2011 Season Thread for Cappy83

[cappy83]

So instead of starting a new thread for this weeks game I decided to start my own season thread if that's ok with you guys! I'll also post it on my blog.

I'll keep this one short, sweet and to the point because the one im doing for my blog is longer and has other non hockey news in it.

Anyway so Tony started for me Friday night since im grounded until I go back to the dr on tuesday. I feel 110% better though! Everything is almost cleared up except my cough which is still pretty bad in the mornings. But I no longer have any issues walking, running, doing work outside etc. The strep is pretty much gone YAY as is the laryngitis tho if I talk alot I still lose my voice.

So Friday morning it was really nice out here so I took one of my young horses out for a trail ride and we galloped through the back feild which was so fun! And he was a good boy. No bucking or spooking. Then around 2 mom and I went into town and got some shopping done. Including a new set of show tack for the stud man (our senior stallion). Then we picked my hubby up at work at 5pm and headed over to the rink to meet up with Tony and Big Mike. So mom and hubby dropped me off and went back home to feed our herd.

I kept Tony company while Big Mike slept off his hang over from the night before in our locker room (since no one was in it before our game YAYs!) So Tony and I hug out and watched the two games before ours. Around 8 pm he left me to get dressed. Our game was at 9:15 on rink 1 YAY I didnt freeze! While I waited for the game to start I finished up entry forms for our next set of 8 horse shows! That took forever as we are taking 8 horses to each show. So I had to fill our 8 entry forms for each show. Then finally it was time for the warm up.

As I watched my boys I was amazed at just how good Tony is. But I love that he dosnt brag or get a big head over it. Then after the warms up Coach came over and asked me if I would keep track of Tonys stats. I said sure, no prob. He handed me the stat book and the game started.

For those who dont read my blog this team we played we lost to 3 times before. Not terribly but we still lost. And after the incident at our team dinner at Applebees we were all expecting a game full of cheap shots. And the Post Falls D-bags didnt disappoint.

In the first period they had a total of 8 penalty's. We had two. One for hooking and one for roughing. We also got on the board first. At the end of the first the score was 3-0. And the d-bags were visibly upset. Which only made my boys play THAT much better. In the 1st they had 28 shots, and we had 15. Tony was on fire!

Durring the 5 min intermission to scrape the ice a bunch of people came over and asked me why I wasnt playing. They all seemed disappointed which made me feel bad because they didnt like the fact that Tony was playing.

Then in the 2nd period things started to heat up. Penalty after penalty after penalty was called. Hooking, tripping, slashing, to many men on the ice (us), roughing, and then with 3:21 left in the 2nd the first of 3 fights happen.

This one was because someone took a nasty cheap shot at Big Mike who proceeded to beat the snot out of the guy. They both got 5 min penalty's for fighting. At the end of the 2nd the score was 4-0. So by the end of the 2nd they were very frustrated considering by the time the 3rd period came is past games they were up by at least 3.

So understandably the 3rd period was very physical. Lots of hard but clean hits. And some REALLY lucky saves by both goaltenders. The 2nd fight happend at about 10 mins into it. This time it was started because Tony did a very pretty split save after getting caught behind the net. One of our guys was triped and Tony fell over backwards over him behind the net. Then somehow he was able to make it back to the net in time to make a very pretty split glove save. This caused one of the post falls guys to take a shot at Tony. Which started a fight. Took the 4 refs a good 5 mins to break it up. The guy who took a shot at Tony got 5 for fighting, 2 mins for unsportsmanlike conduct.

We only got 2 for fighting and a couple roughing calls.

Then with 5 mins left in the game they scored making it 4-1. Of course they thought it was greatest thing since sliced bread. We answered back with two more goals with in probably a min or two. Making it 6-1. The 3rd fight happened when the buzzer went off. Apparently they werent happy they lost because they started a HUGE line brawl. To which the two goalies went at it

Over all it was a very good game!And i hate to admit this but I've never been so happy to not play in my life. Two of the guys on that team have it out for me something fierce. Why? I have no idea. Other then the fact that in the first game we played against them this season one of their guys tripped over my stick and broke two fingers. Idk that wasnt my fault. I didnt set out to trip him..*shrugs* oh well all that matters is that we WON! Too bad we still have to face them in the play offs that start next weekend (thought it was this weekend but I was wrong lol)

After the game I was exhausted so Matty and I just went home. The rest of my weekend was spent riding :) Thanks for reading guys!

Hey guys. Sorry I havnt been overly active on here as of late. Been super busy and still pretty exhausted from being sick. We have a game tomorrow. Our first play off game and im really nurvous. Have a very negative feeling about this one for some reason. Im hoping our practice tonight will ease that. My coach thinks its just that im worried about getting back into the net after being sick...Idk I dont think thats it something else...Went to the Chiefs game last night and they lost in OT 4-3. They are leading the series 2-1 still. Hoping they pull off a win tonight lol Im still not feeling real great but I think its just allergys this time...i hope... lol but yeah thats all I have for not gotta get my butt to the rink for our 2 hr practice! I'm going to be so tired by friday :( lol I can sleep during the Chiefs game right? lol jk

[cappy83]

Hey guys! Sorry im just NOW getting on here to update! Whoever decided cramming 5 play off games into 7 days was a good idea should be friggen SHOT! At lest its not 5 in 3 days lol But yeah so fridays game we ended up losing 4-3 :( NOT the way we wanted to start out this 5 game series with this team! Lots of penaltys and hard hits in that game lemme tell ya! The other team kept rushing the net and maybe they took a shot maybe not but they always seemed to "touch" me! Was pissing me off to no end! Finally by the 3rd period i'd had enough and started to push back 'till the ref saddled me with a 3 min for roughing! We lost 4-3 in OT. They scored on an open net thanks to my D dropping the ball.

Then we played them again on monday to which I shut them out! 1-0! That was an intense game! There were 3 penaltys total the whole game! We were all focused on playing lol Our next game is tonight at 8.45 pm, game 4 is set for friday and game 5 is set for saturday (if needed I think?) I was told the 5th game is usually used as a tie breaker. Its confusing! lol

But yeah. Just thought id jump on here and update you guys before I forget!

Anyone else in the play offs yet?

[synesthete]

My team is. Ours is double elimination, and we've won both of our games thus far. If we win our next game we win the championships. If we lose we play again for the championships. While I do hope we win, this team won't be going to Toronto for the HNA finals, so it's really all for naught.

[cappy83]

@synesthete That would be a much better way to run our playoffs instead of playing us into the ground! Not sure how that would work with the top 10 teams going to the playoffs.

We won game 3 btw! 7-2! Not sure what was going on with their goalie he let in A LOT Of sloppy goals from what I could see and then I watched the video. He looked like he didnt want to be there :( So I think if we win our next game thats it, then we move on to the next team. If we lose it will tie it up and it will force a 5th game (if I understand it right lol) Excited for fridays game! I'm ready to get done with this team LOL I tend to get bored when we play the same team 4-5 times! But the final games are usually very good. We know the tricks the other team uses and vice versa so it makes for an interesting game!

[cappy83]

ok so game 4 was just BEYOND epic! Not only did we kick major tail but I got in a rather awesome fight with a kid thats been harassing and bullying ME since were in peewees. So lets get to the score first. Ended in a 0-0 freaking tie! We were all like holy...effing...crap did THAT just happen? lol oh wait yes it did HA the other team seemed a wee bit more upset then we are considering I got covered in Beer as if we'd won the championship lol. Best 70 mins of MY LIFE! So proud of myself! Since it ended in a tie it forces the 5th game (apparently?) idk im excited to get another piece of them! Boo ya! lol so ok I guess ill tell you about the fight lol

So it started in the last few seconds of the third. As usual I was feeling a bit cocky and mouthy and after I stoped his shot I HAD to rub it in...And he got in my face and we had words. The refs broke it off. The in the double OT he was constantly rushing me and trying to get me to fight. But I managed to hold my temper in check. That is until the shoot out came. He was their last shooter and when I stoped it he decided to shove me. Well before I even knew what was going on Big Mike was between us and in about 3 seconds had Davids helmet off and then Big Mike looked at me and was like wanna piece? And off we went lol I dont want to sound like im proud of starting a bench brawl lol but it was a very long time coming. It was basicly a face off between him and I and he lost. BIG TIME! lol Not bragging but I took down a guy twice my size with maybe two punches? lol the D-bag actually took a couple swings at me lol to which he was pretty much booed by everyone lol Not complaining lol I knew what I was getting into..But look whos face is bruised up, look whose nose is broke! Aint mine! LOL the only thing I got from it was a couple cuts on my hands lol

So tomorrows final game should be interesting! Will try to get video of it! 'Course we were told if we started a fight like that again all of us would be banned from the league so I think at least MY team will behave...for the most part!

[Admin]
