Team MB & Cereal Killers Win but CTO Loses

It was a bit of an emotional roller coaster today....first having watch Team MB mercy the Newfoundland team 8-1. Not much to say here other than it was textbook hockey from the get-go. Pat Ross made his first appearance and the lineup and looked solid -- with the win Team MB finishes the preliminary round 3W 0L 1T which puts them in 3rd place in their pool and sees them facing the rough & tumble Kamloops BlackJacks in tomorrow's 2:30pm(4:30CDT) game @ Planet Ice.

Note: Still not sure if the game will be broadcast over the internet -- check the CBHA site for details. I'll do my best to update you via this blog if it is NOT being broadcast.

CTO Loses First Game

We came out with a strong 2-0 lead only to see the Calgary team fight back to close the gap 2-1. We then regained our 2 goal lead from our thanks to our 3rd line -- a gutsy goal by Alan Lavasseur. However penalty trouble and a breakdown in our zone allowed the Calgary team back into the game as they ended up winning 5-3.

Be assured -- we've learnt our lesson and will NOT allow another team to get back into the game like that. Next game 10am Friday -- the game will NOT be broadcast over the internet.

Cereal Killers win their first game

CK came out w/ a 2-0 lead, only to see the lead vanish, but the CK fought back to eventually win the game 5-3. Their next game will also be on Friday @ 1pmPST.

Just got back from the Red Lite/Midnite Express wildcard game -- Red Lite has been (unbelievably) eliminated.

Gotta get some rest -- catch you all tomorrow!!
