TIED AFTER 2

The final series is everything we expected, the first game was a well played game by both with them taking advantage of a few mistakes in the second period and cruising to draw first blood in the finals. We prepared for game 2 knowing that a loss would be very devastating going down south to Allen down 2 games would be a tough task. A back a forth game needing us to score late with only 39 seconds left in the game to send it to OT. Dave Grimson has continued to shine throughout the playoffs in just his first full season of pro he's been great, we try not to tell him that though we just like to remind him that he's still classed as a "smelt" otherwise known as a rookie, a smelt is a small bait fish most commonly used in the feeding of dolphins. When searched the description of a smelt is long slender body with a big mouth, haha perfect description for a rookie. I'm kidding of course but we actually do call him a smelt,,,,well because he is. He earns his keep other than scoring huge goals for the team and playing awesome on the ice he is CEO of the smelts, leading the bus counts and the main squeegee operator in the shower room. Grimmer was also the hard hat recipient which was a no brainer. So we're off to Allen in a crucial 3 game set that obviously we need to win one down there to stay alive, but have our sights set a lot higher than that. Hopefully I see a few Rush fans down south for those who can't make it I will try and keep you as up to date as I can. Until then keep fit and have fun!!
