Went to Ice v Adrenaline yesterday. Undisciplined players and s**t refs made it a frustrating game. Final minute went on forever as ADL goalie pushed the net off it's moarings during play. I have a suspicion he did it because it was already slightly off and the refs hadn't seen it, but the Ice had the puck and were shooting right as he did it, so tempers flared the refs took forever to sort it out.
I have no doubts we're the better team, they just executed their plan to a T and we fell straight into it. Fix a few easy things and today we get the win I think.
Tommy Powell and Matty Armstrong are carrying this team points wise, need some others to hit the back of the damn net.
One of their players absolutely ******* schooled our defensemen for their final goal. Quite possibly the best goal I've seen at a game. The look of disbelief from one of his teammates as he skated towards him to celebrate was brilliant, he was just screaming "WHAT THE ****! WHAT THE ****!" over and over.
All this typing is making want to go to today's game... I think I might.
Mustangs vs Brave was a great game apparently and they're playing again today. Brave beat them in the final minute last night so that took the sting off our loss.
I went to this game as my first experience of ice hockey in Australia.
And I agree with your s**t refs call they seemed to get in the way a whole heap and broken up a lot of the flow in the game by getting in the way of passes and I thought a few of the checking from behind penalties weren't really there.
Overall though I was quite impressed with the facilities and the crowd was pretty good even the Adelaide fans sitting behind us who got a bit rowdy towards the end.
It was pretty easy to notice it's semi pro though as guys didn't really seem to follow through with their checks and the ice particularly missed 3 or 4 easy chances in front of goals.
The price was pretty good though not any worse than a day at the footy and my wife who has never watched hockey and my 3 year old both enjoyed it.
One question you might be able to answer for me Todd Graham for the ice my brother played juniors with him from what I can find on the internet he is playing college hockey and has been back and forth is he going to be back this season?
