Game One Playoff vs. Airdrie
They are a bigger team than us and have to top U15 player in the Province. There were a lot of specialty teams. They scored first, then we got two and they got two to lead 2-3 with less than seven minutes left. We had lots of chances and breakaways but didn't score. We got a pp and scored on a great one timer by McKenna to tie it. They took another penalty with under two minutes left and McKenna and Kayla did a give and go and Kayla put it under the bar for a 4-3 win.
Really well played game by both teams and the goalies made lots of tough saves. We made 141 passes, the most this season. We don't really play a Torpedo which is a 2-2-1. We play and aggressive 1-3-1 which is common in Sweden and a few NHL teams use it but don't pinch on both sides, which I don't understand. Sweden used this in the Olympics and didn't take advantage of their great offensive talent.
Game two tonight in Airdrie.
No Flo video but two short clips of our tying and winning goals.
