My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be
- Flutie And 83 Saves - Goffstown Hockey - - Goffstown vs. Alvirne-Milford - Sullivan Arena - St. Anselm College - It was a very special night and not because of Valentine's Day, or even because of the play on the ice. It was the Goffstown Hockey 2nd Annual Charity Game. The Grizzlies, the Admirals, and the Flutie Foundation came together to raise money and autism Continue Reading...
- All In Or Out - Goffstown Hockey - - Goffstown vs. Merrimack - Tri-Town Arena - Hooksett, NH - Nobody expected this to be a close game, or even a competitive game, perhaps. Goffstown gave their best team effort of the season, and came up one goal short in a 2-1 loss to Merrimack on Monday night. It was a highly skilled display of high school hockey. And the Grizzlies, reminded me at least, Continue Reading...
- Out Of Sync - Goffstown Hockey - - Goffstown at Mon-Fall Mountain-ConVal - Keene Ice - Keene, NH - Goffstown went to Keene to play against the Monadnock-Fall Mountain-ConVal Huskies in a MUST win game, against an opponent they should beat with a solid effort. The Goffstown hockey team got the win, 4-1, all while battling through details that seemed just a bit out of Continue Reading...
- Fall Behind - Goffstown Hockey - - Goffstown vs. Oyster River - Sullivan Arena - St. Anselm College - If always you were even or getting ahead and never did you ever fall behind Would the miraculous invention and the splendid depth of self ever you find? Continue Reading...
- The Kids Come Back - Goffstown Hockey - - Goffstown at Nashua South Pelham - Conway Arena - Nashua, NH - Nashua South Pelham scored on the power play to take a 1-0 lead. The Goffstown hockey scored the next four goals and willed their way to a very tough road win. Falling back is only maintainable if the fall back is followed by a come back. Continue Reading...
- Too Easy - Goffstown Hockey - - Dover at Goffstown - Sullivan Arena - Dover scored a shorthanded goal just 33 seconds into the game. And for me, the theme of the day started. Too easy. Either Dover is that good, or Goffstown just didn't play up to their talent level. Because, for much of the game, it just looked too easy for the Dover Green Wave. The Grizzlies dropped the decision, Continue Reading...
- Grizzlies Slip Past Spaulding - Goffstown Hockey - - Goffstown at Spaulding - Rochester Arena - The Goffstown hockey team fell behind early out in Rochester to a solid Spaulding team and the prospects of a come from behind win looked more like a fall further behind loss. Then the second and third periods were played. As it unfolded, Grizzlies slip past Spaulding, Continue Reading...
- A Win Is A Win - Goffstown Hockey - - Goffstown vs. Portsmouth-Newmarket - Sullivan Arena - It was great to be back at Sullivan Arena for hockey. The Goffstown Grizzlies earned a 5-4 victory that left me scrambling to describe the full 45 minutes. I settled on, a win is a win. But it was probably more than that. Continue Reading...
- Simply Outclassed - Goffstown Hockey - - Goffstown vs. Winnacunnet, Tri-Town Arena - South Rink - The Goffstown Grizzlies played host to the Winnacunnet Warriors on Saturday afternoon. It was a home away from home game at Tri-Town Arena. After a promising first period despite the 3-1 deficit, Winnacunnet simply outclassed Goffstown while cruising to a 7-2 win. Continue Reading...
Chasing St. Thomas - Goffstown Hockey Goffstown at St. Thomas, Dover Arena On Saturday afternoon, the Goffstown Grizzlies traveled to Dover to play the St. Thomas Saints. Goffstown fell behind, 3-1 in the first period, and then scored a pair of goals to tie things up in the third period. Then St. Thomas scored with 77 seconds left and added an empty netter. Great game. Lots of chances. But the Continue Reading...
