On the Thursday before last, we handily defeated Netversant Blast 9-1; although it was tight in the first half, they wore down late and we took advantage.

Last Friday, we beat Crystal Pirates 10-7 in a tense, tight, but fun game. They scored and we tied until one point where we scored 4 straight goals in the second half to go up 8-5 (and this one guy of theirs kept camping directly in front of me, so i shoved him out of the way and he whined about it, "don't push me!" "get out of the way!" "fuck off." "fuck you." sorry, charlie, the box is MINE). Then CP started pushing and my defense lost its concentration, with 8-6 being scored by one guy surrounded but not actually threatened by 3 defenders, and 8-7 scored on a 3-on-me rush. Fortunately, at that point their goalie decided he wanted to tie the game all by himself, which led to our guys stripping the ball from him twice to score the final goals. I got a lot of compliments from my guys and our opponents as well... i'm definitely getting a feel for the team's defense. I just wish they wouldn't leave me alone.
