Another game, another tie, and another 4 goals allowed. Snickas can't seem to find the right mix of offence and defense to move up the standings after another hit-n-miss performance. Last night the Brampton Sharks provided a tough test but in the end it was a game that Snickas really should've won.
Snickas raced out to 2-0 lead but by the end of the second period they found themselves trailing by a goal. Another Sharks goal early in the third looked to have sealed the game but Snickas showed the fight that has made them League Champs 2 of the last 3 seasons and rebounded with a strong third period and pulled out the draw. An ugly little pattern has developed for Snickas goalie Kirk Burgess in that all 8 goals he's allowed this year have come from within 10 feet of the net. Deflections and loose rebounds seem to be the problem. With an offence that seems to blow hot and cold, Snickas really need to right their defensive problems if they want to contend for the Regular Season Title and a spot in the Starbucks Super Series. Remember back to last season where it was a poor start to the season that did Snickas in.
No one player shined last night and the only real talking point after the game was the condition of Captian Chris Morton's groin. Chris left after the second period favoring his soft spot. We will do our best to keep you posted on the this injury.
Snickas are off next week because of the Thanksgiving Monday but return to the ice to take on the league leading Swamp Donkeys on Monday October 16th.
Have a great Thanksgiving Snicka Nation and we'll see you in two weeks!
