My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be
February 03 - 12, 2023 - 2010 Flames - We Can Do Better. This is a story of 10 days in February. Hockey, skating, and rinks everywhere. The 2010 Flames played 6 games in this span, with a 2-2-2 record. Stick with me here, because I think we can do better. Continue Reading...
February 06, 2023 - Back To Basics: With a few changes in the lineup due to some shifts in players dressed for the game, the Goffstown Grizzlies got back to basics. They played more players in the game overall, and chemistry was replaced with focus on making good hockey plays. Continue Reading...
February 04, 2023 - Early And Late: This was a good matchup for the Goffstown Grizzlies. The game was quite competitive. The Goffstown hockey team played well for stretches of this game, but they got beat early and late. That was the difference in their 5-3 loss at Dover. Continue Reading...
January 26, 2023 - The Goffstown Grizzlies had a 4-1 lead. Then came 5 unanswered goals from the Nashua North Souhegan hockey team, which made some wonder, where's the heart? from the Goffstown hockey squad. I was unable to attend the game on Thursday night, but I got this quote from a very reliable source who was at the game. "6-4, lost to Nashua. 5 unanswered goals. Zero heart. Print that." I Continue Reading...
February 02, 2023 - On January 7th these two teams played an overtime game. Goffstown was able to get the win. Then on Thursday night, they played at Sullivan Arena, and it was the Grizzlies again in OT. This time it was 4-3. Continue Reading...
January 30, 2023 - This game was a real treat from start to finish, one goal scored or not. End to end action with other-worldly goaltending and a great play for the lone goal of the game. I tip my cap to both teams, both coaches, and the officials. This was a beauty. Continue Reading...
January 28, 2023 - The Goffstown Grizzlies fell behind, 2-0 and then spent the rest of the game throwing everything they could at the net. It wasn't to be. The Goffstown hockey team fell, 2-1 despite piling up 35 shots on goal over the final 30 minutes. Continue Reading...
January 28-29, 2023 - 2010 Flames - Saturday the Flames came back from a 2-0 deficit to win, 3-2. Then on Sunday they played a great game, earning a 1-1 tie. The players were great, and afterall, they are the reason why. I had my coffee and my camera with me on Saturday morning and I was ready to get some great pictures during the game against the Cyclones. Then I discovered that my camera was Continue Reading...
January 22, 2023 - 2010 Flames - 3-2-1 in pictures. Some weekends look better on the ice than other weekends. These are pre-teen kids and sometimes they play up to competition, sometimes they play down to it. Either way, they give a lot of effort. Perhaps their tireless effort could be stretched much further as their ability to move up and down the ice as a team improves. Continue Reading...
January 21, 2023 - The Goffstown Grizzlies Hockey team fell behind and then worked to come back to even. Another Saturday, another undefeated opponent for the Grizzlies to play. Goffstown hockey battled back with a better skating game and passing game as the afternoon went on. Eventually, they were able to persevere and come back to even. It looked to me like they still had gas in the tank at the Continue Reading...
