Battle of Canada

So we've skipped a day but we'll get back to that later...The first thing Dani and the little beaner will want to know about is the game...She probably wore her shinpads to bed...and i bet the little bean had on her twist sleeper and tiny shinpads...

So our commute to the game was not quite so interesting as saturday's trip back to our digs...

As we lined up to play Saskatchewan the commentator said he expected quite a battle because there were 6 officials on the sidelines...

Once the game commenced we took it to them but a quick break saw them call Laurie into action for some slick saves...Once we recovered from that little panic attack we started pressing their goal with their keeper making a fine tipover and Sue connecting slightly wide of the target on 2 occasions...The halftime talk was a reminder from coach K to play like Holland...In the second half we were unable to keep our touches tidy but continued to hold possession with some good hard work to control the play...Janet earned us a Penalty shot but the keeper was able to get behind Sinky's shot keeping it scoreless...After that we bombarded their net but failed to find that elusive goal...Janet had a fair cry for a second penalty but the ref didn't see it that way...and again Scurr had a foul in the box that was worth a penalty shout...but again the ref wouldn't bite...Shortly after that Janet worked a great ball across the 6 that Scurr popped over the net... 

Alas at the end of the game...we had controlled a lot of play but were unable to find the kill...

The 0-0 result keeps us in the battle...And as coach K said "all we need to do is win the last game"...
