We Knew It Would Be Tough

There are no easy games in Provincials. There aren't even going to be easy shifts. Even a team that you've beaten twice in the regular season is going to be a formidable opponent. Just ask Mississauga - they know oh so well.

So the Storm played a strong game this morning. The girls played hard but it wasn't enough as the Orillia goalie had a perfect game. We had more shots and more scoring chances but ended up on the wrong end of a 2-0 game. That is going to happen in hockey, it's part of the game.

So what can we do to move on in the competition? Well if we can work harder then we had better. We need to produce better quality scoring chances. We need to force the opponents to make some mistakes. We need to execute better. Most of all, we need some breaks.

But we are still alive.
