My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be
- 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...
February 11, 2024 - Get The Puck Out - West Side Arena - The 2010 Flames split a pair of games over the weekend. They lost, 4-1 to Providence, and then beat Mt. Washington, 3-1 later in the day. I came away from the action with two recurring thoughts or themes for the action that day at West Side Arena. 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...
February 03-04, 2024 - Til The End - West Side Arena - Cranston Veterans Memorial - On Saturday, the 2010 Flames lost 3-0 in a game where they piled up 39 shots on goal. Sunday, in Rhode Island, they were down 2-0 in the second period. Somehow they kept plugging away, and tied the game going to the 3rd, 2-2. Then with 3 minutes left to play they scored, and won the game, 3-2. This team, they Continue Reading...
- January In Numbers - 2010 Flames - The month of January saw hockey games rescheduled because of illnesses and also because of weather. Overall, the 2010 Flames played 9 games (lowest amount since 9 games in September) in January, and they had a record of 4-4-1. Continue Reading...
January 27-28, 2024 - Lots of Hockey - West Side Arena - Union Arena - Lee Clement Arena - A weekend with lots of hockey began and ended at West Side Arena. In between, the 2010 Flames traveled to Woodstock, VT and Henniker, NH for games. All in all, the Flames won 3 games and lost 1 over the weekend. The team played really well. Continue Reading...
January 21, 2024 - Almost Full - JFK Coliseum - West Side Arena - The 2010 Flames game time roster was almost full. Andrew Drumm returned to the lineup for the first time since late October. The Flames won a GSL game and then they tied their EHF game later the same afternoon. It was a good day. The active roster is almost full, and I hope it will be full again very Continue Reading...
January 15, 2024 - Just Missing - West Side Arena - Hobomock Arena The 2010 Flames played a pair of games in the Eastern Hockey League over the weekend. They ended up losing 4-3, and 3-2. Both games were obviously tightly played. But there was feeling (to me) over the weekend just didn't seem quite right. Continue Reading...
