On Thursday, December 11, the deacons traveled to GFRR to play a game that no one thought would be close at all. Though the riders scored only one goal in the first it definately was dominated by Red River. But the second was a lot more even. There were no goals scored and there wasn't a lot of play in the deacon's zone. The third was definately won by the deacons even though red river scored by kicking the puck in. Every one who saw the goal knows it shouldn't have been counted. The final score was 2-0 but it was really a 1-0 game and the deacons had a lot of chances to tie the game or even win. The point is that the shanley deacons who last year played Whap. in the play-in game nearly beat one of the best teams in the state and i don't think it was just luck.
Are the deacons better than everyone thinks?
