I think the statement that they beat the goalie in this one is the wrong statement. It was hhhe 22 shots to Northports 10 first and foremost. The shots were a mixture of crease, 10 yards out and most were on the run across and down the alley. The shooters were all dropping there sticks which makes it incredibly difficult to pick up the shot.
In addition, it was tied with under a minute and npt had the ball coming off a time out and made the biggest mistake in sports. They could have held for the last shot and never even got one off. Winning goal was a fast break less than 10 yards out. So yes, a win is a win bu it could have easily been a different outcome.
That kid gave his team every chance to actually win the game and pull a huge upset and in this one, they let him down. So yeah, team sport, win as a team and lose a second a team, but that goalie did not get beat.
Give credit where it is due, not excuses. My son is on the Hills squad and our coach had nothing to do with it. We took 22 high percentage shots an the Northport kid stood on his head to keep them in the game. If not for that, it would have been a blow out.
hills east didn't lose the game. they won 7-6 with 10 seconds left. And the reason the game was that tight was because f the Northport goalie who had 15 saves.
How does hhhe lose to northport with that team?!?!
Also brand new coach at HHHE, so it is going to take some time for them to get comfortable with the new system.
Great win, that loss wont hurt then as much.
But how do you beat the goalie in your estimates, where did the 7 come from, fast breaks, slow break, outside shots, screened shots (a lost art on kids these days)
