Georgina scored 2 late goals to mount a comeback against the Storm yesterday. As well as losing the game, the Storm lost Heather who was run into a goal post in the 2nd period and left the game with sore ribs. The team was already missing Jackie who was away for the weekend. Her spot was filled by Vanessa who chipped in with her first goal of the season. Our converted defensemen Vanessa and Paige, centred by Madeleine played a strong game with some aggressive forechecking. Other scores were Rebecca T. (on the powerplay) and Jasmine. The Storm took the lead for the first time in the game with less than 7 minutes left in the third period but quickly lost the lead 36 seconds later as a result of a poor clearing pass in our own end. The winning goals was scored 3 minutes later.
Now several Storm players were obviously unhappy with the pre-game speech from the coaches as quite of number of pucks were launched at the poor coaches throughout the game. One particular shot grazed Coach Willie's head and only because he was able to duck in time to avoid one right between the eyes.
