Houser seemed to prefer staying on his knees more often that 2 days before vs Bulldogs. Sadly this last game of the season (for us) was another loss for the Rampage (BTW Monday night Florida Panthers, the parent NHL team for the Rampage, also lost). And that was not all, on arrival we were bombarded with posters "T-Bone is missing
, never fear friends, he was unearthed in time for T-shirt shooting,
which he did infinitely better than the team ;-); and last period animating...sadly, the team did not rally.
.
LEM's goalie Sami Aittokallio, kept 28 shots away from his net, out of 31.
It looked to me, and Better Half, like a comedy of errors, this game. Lots of falling star(?)skaters; dropped sticks without cause; a - whoopee :-)- fight between newbie Turgeon and LEM's Desbiens (a familiar name, eh?); players mistaking ice for grass and playing soccer with the puck; one Rampage skater playing 'giddyap' on a LEM's back, yes, he was riding high ;-)! Pucks lost or shot to where no 'teammate' hovered.
Bedlam in the 2. period. Where was Ortmeyer, you ask? He was a scratch!
Penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct (helmet were ripped off) combined with fighting. And LEM made good on 3 PP of 5 by Sgrabossa, Eliot and Stollery, with Schumacher and Hishon getting the other 2. Rampage managed one PP goal by Gilroy, the other two were by Crabb and Gomes. Despite the standing tough here, Aittokallio stopped that puck, as he did 28 of 31
. Houser faced 34 and saved 29, here is one that he did stop, with the rebound cleared away by McFadden...
and so it went. Pleasing was the drive along carpets of bluebonnets and other 'wild' flowers
, as well as some blooms
on the nature trail which winds around the Wild Oak Ranch property. So good bye Rampage, ATT Center and WOR
.. for another year!
