Awwww Nuts!
May 6, 2008
Well the first game of the Dong Bei Cup V tournament is in the books. Unfortunately for the White Tigers (Team White) we came out on the losing end of an 8-4 decision. The first half was owned by Team Grey as they mercifully unloaded on our goalie Craig and it seemed like we didn’t do much to stop them. Physically we were in great shape but mentally we just plain beat ourselves. Score at the half was 6-1.
Fast forward to the second half where we took the brakes off and let it fly outscoring the opponents 3-2 and outchancing them by a wide margin but their 5 goal cushion was more than enough to take the W. We finally started playing to win rather than playing not to lose and what a difference it made. Their goalie had to come up big several times which unfortunately he was able to do.
2 more exhibition games to go - one on Thursday this week and one next Thursday. Stay tuned to see if the White Tigers can maul their opponents.
For the humility of it all a little Beck ditty simply titled “Loser”
