We Want Fries - 1 tie, 1 win!!

Quick update after our last post-game celebration at the Buzz Inn. What kind of town shuts down at 1:00 am? Oh, yeah...Wenatchee. OK...so quick recap for We Want Fries:

Game 2: We Want Fries vs. Sting
We came all the way out Wenatchee to play one of the teams from the SWHC....Sting. But, that's OK, it's payback time for WWF after a couple of consecutive losses to Sting back in Seattle. We were ready - the team pumped full of carbs from our grande breakfast/brunch, and some new ideas from Coach. Let me just say that the Fries Mojo was back! The ENTIRE team skated to the puck, forechecked aggressively, and had a lot of shots on goal. The final score, however, was a tie (1-1) with the lone goal coming from Lisa (#39). However, it was a moral victory because we finally found a line combination that created some spark for the entire team. Suddenly, we were finding each other on the ice and making great passes and also being aggressive by going after the puck before Sting could get any momentum going into our zone. MVP award went to Lisa (#39) and the 3 stars for the game were Yvonne, Bree, and KT.

Game 3: Went Want Fries vs. Portland Phoenix
We had a couple of hours to kill between games and went out for a quick dinner before our 10:00 pm game. We were all worried that we would lose our momentum over the 3 hours between games, and also be bogged down by dinner. But, we ate light and kept moving around to keep from stiffening up. Many of us have played Portland before so we knew we were going to be evenly matched. In the first period, Portland came at us hard and fast, but we didn't back down and continued to play aggressively - our goal...keep forechecking and take a lot of shots on goal. We wanted to win and that hunger showed by the end of the 1st period: WWF 2 - Portland 0 thanks to goals from Lisa (#39) and Jocelyn (#19). The 2nd period, Lisa took over and completed her hat trick in the 2nd period and the final score was 4-0. Woot! We'll find out tomorrow morning if we're in the finals. Marie is now telling me to turn off the lights and my computer. So, let's go Fries!! Great game everyone! Total 180 degree turn for WWF the last 2 games and I think we all agree that they have been our best games to date. MVP went to Lisa - 3 stars: Bridget, Joan, and Erin. Submitted by Jocelyn (#19)
