Travelers (1) vs Attack Rabbits (5)

July 25th, 2007 - Cromwell High School, Cromwell, CT

There's a reason they call them selves Attack Rabbits, and there's a reason they are in first. They do not stop running. We knew that all the other teams know it, but yet we just didn't play well enough to make a game of it. Their 5 goals were literally from 5 of our mistakes. We had other mistakes that they didn't take advantage of as well. And when they held the ball and built up an attack we were right there with them. All season I said that little mistakes add up. Yesterday it added up too 5 for them, and 1 for us.

We had their goalie in a panic a few times and their defenders had to clear the ball from the line twice to save him. Alex had a nice shot that I thought he missed because he blasted through the net. Brian if you had blocked that shot with your hands and the ref gave you a red I would have dropped kick him - lol OK maybe not. The long 14 game, 14 week season is finally over. And we ended it on a wicked bad note.

The playoffs.......season 2, we will concentrate, we will play to our potential, we will be a force to recon with, we will get into the semi-finals. Remember the good times from the 5 games we won, or the 2 games we had to battle back from a deficient to get even. Remember how it felt good to win and know that we were a better team than that of our opponent. Remember that those little bruises don't hurt as bad after a win, they actually feel good. But don't forget the mistakes, the bad choices, the losses, the squandered leads. Remember how those same little bruises hurt a little more than they should after a loss. Remember that we could have done this or done that to have played better personally and as a team. Remember those missed goals that replay in your nightmares at night. Remember all the good, all the bad, and the ugly too. Let it all build up and explode in the playoffs. No more joking around, no more taking criticism personally - it's the playoffs and these are the games that count. The 14 regular season games were practice.
