Chicago had a rough start to the season before finally starting to win some games so going into Christmas they thought they were starting to finally turn in the right direction but then another losing slide came as if time itself turned back and they lost more then expected. So the when the final game before the break came around they knew this one was a must win for the mental of the team going into the next part of the season. It started off bad slipping into a 3-1 to them in the 1st before catching up a bit 4-3 in the second. It was a mid 3rd heroics by Sad Ketchup to tie it up and we hold on to overtime. It is there that we battle back and forth. Alexandros pushed and pushed and pushed but it didn’t seem to matter what he did he could not get the puck to go in the net or find the breakout pass to his team to get the win. As he huffed and puffed and got off the ice after a long shift hope appeared. Dave Heinrich on a stretch pass from Ho Lee-Smokes managed to deke around the defense and put it in the back of the net. The collective sigh of relief on the Chicago bench was palpable. Alexandros was bitter he couldn’t make the impact to close this one out but he is happy to see his team succeed.
