Me and new Liney Brett

High five's for the bench after a goal

Alexi would be happy. Headddd upppp!!

In the shot lane. Sort of!!!

No call here. Looks like a slash to me.

Taping stick. Very Superstitious about my stick!!!

A big win last night puts us into the Semi-finals with home ice advantage (best of 7 ).  This next round should be a hard fought series.  Our first game is on Friday March 11th. Last nights game was a TV game but Im having trouble posting highlights.  We won 4-1 and from start to finish we dominated the game. Our opponents were real cocky. It was one of those games where you wish there was fighting (no fighting in Europe).  I know you are all thinking that the little guy doesnt fight, but I've been known to throw them in the past. Anyways it was a big win for the team and we can move on to next round.

HUGE WIN 4-1 !!!!!

The butterflies were present before the game started last night. When you have the "butterflies" before a game you know you are ready. Coach said this before the game and Im going to have to agree with him on this one. I usually don't get nervous before games, but last night I was feeling it.
We scored the first goal of the game and you can tell after guys were back to normal. We played playoff hockey last night and came out on top. A well deserved win!! 4-1. One of the key's to our win was our hard work and relentlessness to loose pucks. We were hungry all over the ice, resulting in puck possession which allowed scoring chances. we had 4 different guy score last night, including myself (2nd goal I score on a wrist shot from the slot). Its always a good sign when you have different guys scoring. We need all cyclinders going in playoff hockey in order to capture the gold helmet. Next game is Sunday at home.

Interview with Jason and coach Mario

UGLY!!! Lost 6-1

Alfie Michaud our goalie that is still out with an injury said it like this....... They played playoff hockey and we played regular season hockey. He's exactly right!!! We did not play playoff hockey, but the past is the past. Our next game is on Wednesday at home where we need a win. Our captain Kim after the game told us to all go home and think of something that motivates ourselves. A quote, a poem, a picture etc... After you find something, bring it back to the locker room and we will put all of them on a wall. It’s hard for me because there really isn’t one thing that motivates me. I mean a million things go through my head on game day. As Jenn would tell me... Jason you are a spazz!! The basic things I think of on game day are the well being of the players on both teams and that each player stays injured free. After that I thank loved ones that have passed, followed by knocking on my forehead and cup (13x times, Spazz!!). I than say a quick thanks to my parents for all they have given me. Lastly I think about my wife Jenn. Mostly thoughts of our wedding day actually (weird I know). I know if a coach could hear my thoughts, he would yell and me and say Jason get your head in the game. But, this is how I prepare for games. Some guys listen to music and get all pumped up, but for me I try to stay as calm as possible, which brings me to my quote/story.




ATTITUDE:

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, then circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a TEAM, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our “ATTITUDE”.

Playoffs start tomorrow!!

It's that time of the year. It's the time of the year where every player gives that little extra in order to win a Championship. So many years playing at the pro level and I've never won a Championship. Last year in Germany I made it to the finals but lost. I still have a sour taste in my mouth from that. I'm on a mission this year to have that trident winter fresh feeling in my mouth.  "Knock on wood", if we win it this year each player is given a gold helmet for winning (See pic).  I want a Gold Helmet!!! 

Champion's.... Sonderjyske last year.

Last Regular season game highlights.

So we ended up losing in a shoot out, but we took 1st place in the regular season standings. Here are the highlights of the game. I had an assist on the first goal and scored our second!!! It went to a shoot out where I went 5 times... yes 5 times. I scored 3 times but it wasnt enough to secure us a win. Playoffs start Sunday. Ill be sure to post our results. A special thanks to Sonderjyske Support group for making these highlights possible!!!
