About 10 minutes into the game I turned to my wife and said: "I know they'll end up losing but this is fun ... they absolutely deserve to be on this ice against this good team." And of course I was wrong, they won.
Good passing, good heart, good ideas about how to make a goal happen. A real treat in front of a light crowd. Only comment is that I haven't seen officiating this strange since I used to watch the NHL in the 70s. Penalties that weren't, not-penalties that were, developing plays called because the linesman didn't like something at the face-off, some weird call on us for icing when we were down a man (perhaps I misunderstood?), and above all: in the way. But it went both ways I guess.
