Regular Season Game #8

The ice surface at the Rinkla in Brest.

I held off on posting about our game last week as I was hoping to track down some game photos from the match. In the end, I couldn't find any, which might be a good thing considering the final score was 13-3 for the home team.

This was a very disapointing match for our team as although we were short due to injury and illness, I believe we could have shown much better then we did. The guys who played are all extremely proud of our efforts so far this season, but we really let ourselves down with this one. We were down 6-0 after the first period and it wasn't because Brest was playing at that much of a higher level. We did play better in the second period as we finished down 8-1 and generally outchanced Brest in the period. In the third however, we kind of packed it in and allowed five more goals while only notching two of our own.

A tough game, but we learned alot and hopefully we will be able to play a little tougher when they visit us in February.
