Hi Team
We let them get a ahead of us early and couldn't catch up. We had the momentum in the the last half of the third period but ran out of time to tie.
There is a lot more hockey to play, We have two more games against teams we have met and played very well against before. It's still ours to win and advance to the semi's. Every team we meet will pour it on and we need to be ready for it. Cover their open man in front of the net and in the neutral zone. If someone is shadowing you, move around them, get open and always think what you're going to do once you have the puck. We play as a team, keep our heads up when making open ice passes and clear the zone in front of the net.
Mr Musa provided a shot on net breakdown from the game. It's an excellent visual aid to illustrate how we played. They concentrated their firepower between the goal line and the hash marks. If we keep the slot open, we can force the play to the corners where can pick it up and charge down the ice. We out shot them but from far in front. They could block the puck or their goalie was easy to see it. But shooting from this far out is a great chance to pick up the rebound. We're very unique from other teams. We have depth at all levels from forwards to defense. Lets show them our first game is not what they can expect from us and light it up in their end. Play smart, play safe and most of all, have fun.
