Army gets shut out!

The Red Army was shut out last night 3-0 by Caulfield's. The Army waited until at least the first minute of the game to go down 1-0. Last week it took all of 13 seconds. But the Army toughened up the defense. Down 2-0 after one, the Army dominated play in the second period. Only to be turned back time after time. The Army's best chance happened when Todd Palmiscno missed a wide open net. Palmiscno said, "I panicked. I have never had that wide open of a shot. I felt like Lance Norman!" Caulfield's made it 3-0 early in the 3rd to deflate the Army. The Army tried to break the shutout, but just couldn't hit the net in the 3rd. Perry Marto quipped, "We had enough shots today, we just need to bury them. I think we shot our wad last week scoring 8 goals." Steve Olson added, "The pace of the game was too fast. Playing in this icebox, the ice was too fast. We are better if the ice is warm and our skates can melt into the ice. The other teams can't handle it. We thrive in that ice condition!" The loss drops the Army to 1-4 on the year.
