Tough night last week with a loss to the Tri-State Truckers. They have a couple of new bodies on the team but their skilled guys are mostly the same. We only had 5 skaters and after almost 2 months off for most of us, our legs held up surprisingly well.
They scored an early goal on a shot stuffed home in the front, then a one timer in the second period. We struggled for shots in the first period and took a few bad penalties but eventually got on the board with a long breakout pass from Carmen to Matt. Eric later stuffed one home on a fluttering shot from the side that found net. I benefited from a handful of posts and a handful of saves that surprised even me. Ultimately, they snuck in a goal with 6 minutes left that went just inside the far post. Not a bad start to the season, but a win might have been possible with a full squad.
