cause4alarm 7 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 My defending champ team just lost to the worst team in our division in OT. We had a 3 goal lead and even a go-ahead with less than a minute left. Had we won, it would have been 5 months since our last lost. It may be just beer leagues, but losing is never cool. It's going to be a looong week... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just goes to sow you have to take every game as seriously as if it was the championship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 I've played on teams that lost every game by a wide margin, teams that won every game by a wide margin, but I far prefer to play on teams where we play competitive games every time on the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. One goal games, win or lose, are the most fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick23 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 Thats what i think hockeys all about, those close games, the ones when you come off and have lost by a goal, but still happy with your performance, obviously coming off better than the other team is much better though. I thrive on those close games, a hellova lot of stress for us and the coach, but the most satifying at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cause4alarm 7 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 It's great to play on a good team that's clearly stronger than the competition. We can dominate many of our games without much effort, but the problem with winning so much is that you know that eventually you'll have to lose some time. It's tough trying to keep up that level of mental sharpness for every single game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
