March 9, 2019: Playoff Hockey

posted in: Blackhawks | 1

Yeah, so, travelling for work, going to a game, and floor hockey practice and game.  I have my excuses all lined up.  After a quick practice on Friday night, it was back to the floor on Saturday morning for the first round of the playoffs.  I can’t remember if I went over this already, but, we found out that we finished in 1st place in the regular season.  In the last game of the regular season, the team tied with us lost.  So we had 1st place all by ourselves.  That changed the first round matchups.  We would play the last place team, while the 2nd and 3rd place teams would face off.  It was a rematch of the last week of the regular season.

We beat this team the week before 6-0.  This team has barely scored any goals all year.  I felt pretty confident.  Yet on this day, the kids did not seem to be on their A game.  It worried me.  We’re not that good that the kids can just sleep walk through a game and get the win.  Each of them seemed a bit off.  Not sure if it was because they were tired… we had one kid slash a girl from the other team; he had to sit out for a minute.  We had another kid run somebody over; he had to sit out for a minute too.  It was all adding up to what could have been a disaster.  Thing is, one kid was zoned in.

My son recorded his 4th hat trick of the season.  Yes, the kid raises his game in the biggest moments.  Remember the baseball playoffs, where he crushed all 3 of his ABs.  Remember the basketball playoffs, where he hit the game winning shot.  And now, in the first round of the playoffs, he scores a hat trick.  My boy seems to have that clutch gene; I love it.  He put us on the board to give us a 1-0 lead.  One of our 2nd liners gave us a 2-0 lead to end the first period.  With our 2 best goalies lined up for the final 2 periods, I was feeling better.

My son was in goal in the 2nd period; he let one roll under him.  2-1.  That’s the way the game would stay until the 3rd period.  He was back on the floor.  He scored another to give us a 3-1 lead, and then scored his 3rd of the year on the defensive side to give us a 4-1 lead.  Another puck rolled under our goalie to make it 4-2, which would be the final.  It was a lot more exciting than I thought it would be. 

In the other game, the team that was tied with us got their revenge, and won their game, setting up what we all knew would be the championship matchup next week.  It should be a doozy.  We definitely can’t come out like we did this week.  I don’t think my son can carry us… we need everybody on their A game to win the final game of the season.  Thing is, I won’t be there for this final game… that sucks!

    Playoff hockey, will we see it for the Bhawks this year? Sure seems like a long shot now, but it is a reality for the young Knights. My nephew leads the charge with a hat trick to set up the 3rd and deciding game in the championship. It does suck that you will not be there. Hopefully, you get good news at some point tomorrow morning. Good luck Knights!
