Not as bad as I expected them to be.

I dunno.. Trainer was looking for blood on that double minor. Didn't look like he could find any.


Decent game so far. Giving up too many chances as usual. But hopefully we muscle up on these boys! They've double us in hits.. So far. (I've given up on faceoffs.) lol
