The Thunder played more as a team last weekend, but we were up against another very good team, who managed to beat us by one goal. Although we did not win the game, we saw the team do a lot of really good things. We saw them pass a little better, skate a little harder and had several good scoring chances. There was a controversial call made by the referees after Jacob took a shot from the outside of the blue line on a delayed off side.
The puck deflected off of one of the other team's players and landed in their net. Since the puck went into the net by one of their players without any of our players touching it in their zone, some of the coaches thought this should have been a good goal. However, according to
NHL Officials Site, an attacking team cannot score on a delayed off side, even if the defending team puts the puck in their own net.
So although we did not win the game, the team continues to improve. Looking forward to see what they do at the next game, this weekend.
Go THUNDER !
