That was all pretty good. Started up with a match against Master Blasta in which he outplayed me largely, took the lead with a nice readjustment from Pisani. I tied it with Vanek coming out into space from behind the net and we went into overtime, where I started out well, then he had a massive spell at the end of it which looked like he'd win but I got a 2 on 1 late, he went for the can opener on Poms which left Roy free to deke Roloson out of his jock and score the winner with 6.9 secs left.
Then played Monty's leafs, the bane of my existence on 2k6, and he played pretty well too, Miller did a nice job and then I got the lead with a goal from, well, I've completely forgotten the goal

. Again, I then held on a little bit from some good play and then with a minute left I pounced on a chance with Afinogenov rifling a wrister into the top corner. He pulled his goalie, I missed an empty net shot then seemed desperate to score when I wasn't, Kotalik finally turned it in as I tried to keep the puck down the other end. 3-0 win.
Played LokedOut, MB, and monty now, only conceded the one goal in the three games which I'm delighted with, I've been working on a patient defensive game and whilst Miller helps a lot, I block a lot of shots and just stay in passing lanes where I can.
