A joy to experience.

Last night was a game to behold!

Anyang has this really annoying habit of starting each period really well. They swarm the opposition, apply crazy pressure, and maybe even score a well deserved goal, but then the second half of the period rolls around and they seem to lose interest.

There was none of that nonsense last night. Anyang came out in their normal beast mode and scored early. With 10 minutes gone I was expecting them to fizzle like usual, but they stayed in beast mode. Oji managed to score a Power Play goal to even the score, but beast mode did not fizzle.

They came out for the second period and put produced another 20 minutes of beast mode hockey. Anyang was dominating pretty much every part of the game and made a team that is supposed to be much better than them look quite ordinary.

Third period was more of the same. They were skating hard, scrapping for every loose puck and put pressure on where ever they saw the opportunity. Oji being as good as they are managed to pull back a goal every time, but none came easily. The third period ended 3 all and the game went into overtime.

Shhhhh! So close. We were less than 2 minutes away from victory.

Sadly Oji managed to start overtime dominating the way you would expect from the runaway league leaders and scored a goal about 90 seconds in.

Anyang will receive one league point for losing in overtime. If we can get away with another point tonight then we will have done better than I think most people would have believed.
