Game report Vandals - BIKO

Game on Wednesday night
Vandals - BIKO 1 - 3 (0-1,1-1,0-1)

0-1 Miika (Jukka)
1-2 Miika
1-3 Miika

Miika Miika Miika. He also got the only penalty in the game. Which eventually lead to Vandals tying the game to 1-1. I have to note here, that Vandals won their last game against HEL ry 0-12, and have been, as I said before, playing very uneven season.

There were only two in change in our team, but Vandals did not have two full chains either, so it was fairly even. Their ball control was way better than ours, but despite of that we managed to pass around and keep the ball and build attacks very nicely indeed.

Once again our game was solid and smart, for the most part. In the third people got slightly over-confident by our 1-2 lead, and that produced some really confusing situations, where most of our team was behind, or at, the opponents goal. In a situation like that, back down. Always. Play safe, and keep the lead. It could have easily turned 2-2 or even 3-2, but luckily we found some sense before any disasters could happen.

Having just two players to change with is not easy on anyones fitness, but it forces you to play smart. That was exactly what people were doing in the rink last night, and I'm very impressed with you. Sadly, I myself had to take the coaching position because of mi cold. It was very educational. It looks quite different when you're not participating in the actual game. I also noticed, how much I spend energy in just shouting during the games. It is not a small amount, I have to tell. Thanks to the game, I've been partially speechless today, and will be perhaps tomorrow.

Well, this victory will take us closer to Finnsteve and Fonecta, and they play against each other next Thursday, so with good scores we may leave Finnsteve behind us. Catching up with Fonecta is not as easy. Five more games to go, lets keep this style!
