A rough afternoon for the Ice Dawgs in Pelham

[RocketCityDawg]

The first game of the hockey tournament, and our guys go down 10-4 to the Oxford Akbars.

We showed up with 18 guys to face off, and they only had 12.
But, they managed to shell our goalie, a Huntsville guy a lot of times with really soft goals that could have been prevented,
had his teamies given him more defense before the puck got close.

The MSU defense did improve in the 3rd period. so the score at the the end of two was the final.
Unfortuantely, the MSU offense couldn't produce against the OM defense.

In all due respect, they did a great job of protecting their goal.

That's the first match I've attended, and I was hoping for a W.
Still, fight on, Ice Dawgs!

This is a program in progress, in development.

Just don't understand how we lose that badly to a first year program....especially when it counts in the tournament.

I was there with a Bama parent of one of the Frozen Tide.
He used to be my supervisor at work.

The corndogs were showing up at the end of our match.
There weren't many of them, and they have ugly unis.

And he also had great defensive support in front of the goal. Better than ours.

Our goalie did have some limp ducks that slipped in between his knees, under his elbow and such.

Still, many of the successful Akbar goals should not have been allowed to get within scoring position.
Just my uninformed observation.
