Great bench-clearing brawl from the '87 world juniors, Canada vs Russia

[El Kabong]

My winter hockey season starts up this Tuesday night, I will be playing for a new team (one with a few more ringers ) and hopefully we will be ready to compete for the cup.

I've got my sights set on a hatty for the first match...I will of course get disappointed if I don't score, but I really just hit my stride at the end of last season.

#98 in your program but #1 in your hearts!

Canada wins a nail biter in the world juniors and breaks the drought!

Lost a close one in the first game, I notched an assist but that was just about it. I skated well, we had a good full team and we hustled, just have to hone our chemistry a bit and we'll be set.

Next game coming up Sunday vs a team we really should beat, I was disappointed not to get a goal the last game, but I'm going to really gun for it Sunday....see if I can't get 2-3 in there


Been watching The Don Cherry Story on Netflix....good old Grapes, what an institution that guy is. Love him or hate him he's a lively dude.

Won last night 4-2. I scored the goal to tie things up and that really shifted the momentum of the game. I got an outlet pass on my blue line, there was a forward just turning to skate backwards, I deked him and skated past, I then was 1 on 1 vs a defenseman I deked under his stick, squeezed between him and the other d-man that was collapsing down on me, ripped a shot off that went 5 hole and lit the lamp.

I had a few passes which should have been converted as well, gave a beauty of a centering pass that the goalie luckily stopped the shot on.
