I've just go back from Sheffield where the blaze were playing. It was one of those games that is a shining example of all that is good about the sport of ice hockey (bar the officiating). The match was full of incident with Coventry taking an early lead, only to be pegged back to 2-1 at the end of the 2nd period. Sheffield grabbed a 3rd goal and with a serious injury to one of the Blaze players it looked to be game over. However a thrilling comeback by the blaze saw the game go into overtime.
With the scores level at the end of overtime, it came down to the dreaded penalty shootout. Much to the visiting supporters delight, the blaze edged the shootout, thanks mainly to some superb netminding. The blaze fans went delirious. For me personally, it was the best match of any sport i've been to since Coventry beat Arsenal at Highfield rd a few years ago.
So anyway I might post in a bit some words of wisdom for the new year, but untill then...
HAPPY NEW YEAR
