Final MNWAHL Regular Season Game

With my upcoming move to the Atlanta area, this week was my last Minnesota Wild Adult Hockey League regular season game. I was happy it was against my goalie friend Shawn and his team the Swamp Donkeys. I wasn’t excited that they were sitting atop the standings with the best goal differential, but I was happy this last game would be against a goalie I’ve played against a lot and consider a friend.

This was a crazy game. We were down a few goals heading into the third period but fought back. After tying the game 5-5 late it looked like the game would end in a tie, then I had a brain fart and allowed an easy goal. Down one with less than a minute to play I headed to the bench for the extra attacker, and in the closing seconds we were able to tie the game up which is how the game ended 6-6.

Oh yea, I also stopped 41 of 47 shots with a -0.32 expected goals against vs actual goals against which means we should have lost this game.

After the game Shawn and I agreed this was a good way to end our playing days against each other.
