Blimey what a game!
I actually thought for 90% of the first period we were very good. But the other 10% we were horrendous. Gifted Coventry two goals and made a couple of other dreadful defensive decisions that forced Wall into huge saves (although he’ll want the first back).
Second period we started well and mostly dominated. Got the goal we deserved and then……. instead of kicking on we started doing stupid things and gifting the Blaze more chances.
3rd period….well I’m not sure what happened with their goal as I missed it. But fair play to the team they upped their effort and once Barrow scored our second I had a feeling we’d win. We started doing the simple things right, getting pucks on net instead of over-passing it and the puck started falling for us. After making it 3-3 we had a great PK and with all the momentum Joey Martin somehow got the rebound over Kozun for the game winner. Blaze made a total mess of the final two minutes - did they even get the puck in our zone? - and Sanford sealed it with an ENG.
Overall, far from a perfect performance. We looked like a team that was missing key players in defence and who hadn’t had a smooth buildup to the weekend. Which I’m guessing with the GB camp is exactly what happened.
Most importantly though we escaped from the ridiculous situation with two points and let’s try to get the same result on Sunday.

Just a heads up the parking situation is going to be the same all weekend for those going to GB games. Apparently the swimming pool can reserve a public car park. They must have the ear of the council because as we know swimming is much more important than hockey for them. If all else fails just say you are going to the gala as Jonesy did.
