Every Moose Has His Day!
It had to happen sooner or later: some poor team would be the unlucky ones to be the first victims of the Moose. After 11 games of frustration, someone was going to get the antlers.
And they did.
The Michigan Moose finally have our first win.
As the head Moose pointed out, we tried everything we could to lose. It was an ugly game, with bad play, bad officiating, and lots of weird bouncing of pucks. But that's the way you break a losing streak: win ugly.
The victims were a bunch of old pals of mine, guys I have played hockey with for years. They are struggling with a team that is older and fading, we're struggling with a team that is new and inconsistent. Neither team played well. They got a couple of really bad goals on me, my defense tipped in what would have been an easy save... it was just a big cluster-Moose...
But in the end, it was 6-4 Moose. It was 2 points. When you added in my shutout point, it was enough to move us from last place, to second-to-last place. And that was just enough to make me feel pretty damn good.
