Jr's team had a playoff game last night, District Playoff semi-final. Against traditional rival Eden Prairie who they had beaten twice this year. Our boys played like crap again. No jump, no focus. Fell behind 2-0. In third period the coaches put out our PP unit (all 3 centers together on a line) several times and they got the two needed for the tie. EP took a 5 minute major, checking from behind with 3+ minutes left. On ensuing PP, one of our D hooked a guy a little and, of course, the refs evened it up. Then in the 4 on 4 one of our players got pulled down with no call and he reacted badly with a swipe at the kid who pulled him down and got the slash. We finished up regulation killing a 4 on 3 and OT started with 5 seconds left of the 4 on 3.
Jr took the draw on that one as all our centers were in the box or had just come off. After our player got out of the box there was scramble play in neutral zone and jr came up with the puck for a semi-break and put the puck just under the goalie's catching glove for the game winner! 0:28 into OT. Too much drama for me. Finals Sunday at 5 PM on our home rink vs one of the Tonka teams who were playing right after us last night.
