Weekend's thoughts
After a 2-1/2 hour drive home I was able to make the Spirit game (Saginaw's OHL hockey team) just in time. It was a game against Toronto St. Mixe's and the guys seemed lost out there. Were they thinking about the big game on Saturday against the no. 2 team in the league? Perhaps, but whatever they were doing, they weren't thinking about beating a lowly, though hot of late, Toronto team. The out come was a very sloppy 3-1 loss.
The next day was the hype of the season, The game against not only the no.2 team, the Owen Sound Attack, but also televised locally and with the movement of two Spirit players to the attack around Christmas time, it was bound to be a good one. The game proved to be all it was hyped up to be. The Spirit took a 2-0 lead while being badly out-shot and out played by Owen Sound. The Attack were able to knott the score at 2 in the second period. The third period proved quite eventful as just 15 seconds in, former Spirit player, and Captain, Paul Bissonnette and current Spirit captain Tom Harrison. All I can say is, you should have known better Paul! Tom also scored the game winning goal and new Spirit Tommy Mannino scored his second of the game when he hit an empty net over a sprawling Attack defenceman. The poetic justice turns out to be that both of the "bad seeds" that wanted out of Saginaw ended up on the ice for 3 of the 4 Saginaw goals and Paul was on for all 4. Goalie Mike brown kept true to form by slamming his stick around after every goal and shot off the ice like a cat after a mouse as soon as the game was over.
Sunday the Spirit played a lack luster game against Windsor and lost 5-1. Making the playoffs my not be possible now.
In other news, My beloved Toni found a new SUV and asked me to take a look at it. So I headed out to Feeny Chrysler in Midland with her dad to test drive and thoroughly check out the 2000 Chevy blazer. The blazer seemed to be in great shape and with only 54000 miles.
