Week 2 continued the roll that we started out on. We played in Philly on Friday and the game seemed to take forever. There were a ton of penalties called and there was just no flow to the game. Despite being shorthanded for an entire period we managed to outshoot the Phantoms and come away with a win. Watching Dean Arsene get the Gordie Howe and the GWG is one of my highlights of this young season. Having gone through the same surgery Dean has and dealing with all the BS that comes with it I was happy to see him back to his old self again.
The home opener on Saturday was a lot of fun and a very intense game. Even though we won by a good margin the game didn't feel like a 7-1 victory. Syracuse is a good team that is very well coached and they never quit. I am sure that when we head up to their barn later this season it is going to be another intense game and much closer on the score board. G-Mac set the tone right off taking on Meatball Mirasty in a lonnnnnngggggg bout. It made me tired just watching the two of them go. It got the boys pretty fired up and it carried over to the score sheet. It was great to be back at the Giant Center playing for the good guys this time and the crowd was loud and raucous as always.
Sunday saw us suffer the first defeat of the year. Unfortunately we weren't able to go 80-0, I guess we just have to try for 79-1. Seriously though the Penguins were ready for us and wanted to exact some revenge for us beating them in their home opener. We dug ourselves a hole early, pulled out of it, then dug another one at the end of the second. We simply didn't have enough gas in the tank to rally again in third. It is only one loss and we will use it as a learning experience moving forward. We get to play those guys 8 more times so I am sure that we will get them when they are on the back end of a 3 in 3. This weekend we have two more home games before heading off on the road for our first 4 in 5. Binghamton has had a great start so far and will be a good test on Saturday. Hopefully we can put together a solid 60 minutes and come out on top.
