Tied

Tonight's hockey game was definitely the closest and most challenging game for Sam's team. We didn't lose, but we didn't win either. It was a 2-2 tie.

Our opponent did a fantastic job of tying up our players. I don't think our guys really knew what to make of this team. We lacked our usual speed and team work, although it was evident that they were still trying to work as a team. The other team just came out with nothing to lose and ready to put out their best effort. Our reputation precedes us; we are the team to beat.

Being undefeated is something to be proud of, and yet it is also a curse. Our team isn't perfect. There are flaws to fix and bad habits to break and plenty of coaching to be received, but a team that never loses can forget some of those things thinking that they can continue to win as they always have. Not so! Hopefully, our team will learn from today's game. We may not have lost the game, but we were only a whisper away from putting a '1' in the loss column.
