Point looks sick again. Total game changer having our #1 Center back and buzzing on both ends.
Looking really good, hopefully winning continues. Go Bolts!!
So fun to see them score in 1st and carry thru the whole game.
PP goal !!!! Finally. I was so incredibly happy at the organ 🙂 After Paul Porter announced the PP, and I played these stingers loudly and happily, the overall mood was pure joy. Dennis was great in the goal – "the biggest cat" in the rink has got a great backup ! Go Bolts !! I played "Go The Distance" before the game, and the team delivered very well 🙂
