Re: ONE GAME TOO MANY

["Jim Meyer" <jimmeyer@azstarnet.com>]

I figured 2 easy wins leading into the first regular season match-up with
the same team would be trouble...but I figured we would be talking about a
come-from-behind 1 to 3 point squeaker for the Celts.  I wasn't surprised by
the half-time score, but I fully expected them to come out in the 3rd period
and take control.

We may learn alot from the next game...one good thing about this season is
that loses can be left behind quickly (or, I guess, loosing streaks can get
long quickly).  One loss counts for more this season, but maybe this young
team was starting to think a little too much of themselves.  For now I think
we should chalk this down as a learning experience.
