It was a different night, a different arena and a different opponent but the final result was the same. The Storm managed to lose yet another game by the score of 1-0 to the Aurora Panthers.
With each game, the team plays harder and has begun to dominate games without scoring a goal. The Aurora coaching staff were very complimentary of the play of the Storm team and admitted they had stolen a win. Because of a few illnesses, there were new line combinations that worked out very well. The line that stood out was a new combination of Jessica R at centre between Maryssa and Marley. The line was dangerous all night and stripped Aurora defensemen of the puck on a regular basis. Kendra also played an exceptional game and could not be faulted on the goal that ended up being the only goal in the game.
Fortunately the team continues to be very positive despite the mounting losses. And there is a lot of positive things happening with this team. The goaltending has been quite good and has allowed more than 2 goals only once since the new year. The defense has been doing a great job in moving the puck out of the defensive zone up to the forwards. As a group the forwards are likely the fastest in the division and continue to put pressure on opposing teams. Now if only someone would score.
This weekend are two long road games to Midland and Camp Borden. Hopefully the roads will be good and some scoring will materialize.
