Watch the ultra slo-mo. This whole play is a thing of beauty.

Monday November 28, 2011 – Canton Sportsplex

Despite a strong start, the Kings defense foundered, surrending the final 5 goals to Hack Pack in a 7-4 loss Monday night. J-Rod got on the board on the first shift of the game, and Greg scored twice in one shift to break a 2-2 deadlock, and despite sustained offensive pressure in the second period the Kings couldn’t hold the lead, giving up a shorthanded goal to tie the game late in the third. Ed managed to turn aside a 4-on-0 and 4-on-1, as well as a few other decent chances by the Hack Pack. The Kings couldn’t convert with the extra attacked and gave up an ENG and another slow chip-in for the loss.

Thursday November 17, 2011 – UMass Boston

The Kings and River Rats put on a barnburner at UMass, combining for 6 goals apiece with plenty of shots for both teams. Bermy got the first star, powering the offense for 4 goals, helping the Kings overcome a couple of 2-goal deficits. J-Rod got the final equalizer late in the 3rd to start a power play; after a clean faceoff win, he tipped home a slow shot from the point that fooled the Rats goaltender. Otherwise a lot of back-and-forth and fast breaks for both teams that tested both goaltenders and a few close calls, including a last-second shot from Fran that went behind the goalie but just past the far post, landing in the corner as time expired. Good effort to steal a point from a strong team.

We’re off until after Thanksgiving, playing on Monday after the holiday. Everyone have a happy Thanksgiving and safe travels.

The Kings winning streak came to an end, losing a tough 4-1 decision to old friends the Icepack. The game-sheet is here: http://neshl_mboston.stats.pointstreak.com/players-boxscore.html?gameid=1761663
Past couple games the bounces had been going our way, this game none went our way. And you have to give credit to a strong Icepack team and their goalie who made a crap ton of saves.
Schedule does not get any easier as the Kings battle the River Rats on Thursday night @UMASS Boston.
