Haha! Listen to all this! Don't come on here for 24 hours and my name is being dropped left right and center.
Everyone is right is there own aspect.
Ghouse, thx for the compliment. Much appreciated. I wouldn't call it disrespect from teammates, its just what is expected of me. You haven't seen me play much in our recent battles, but that is the norm for me. Very vocal, very loud, very demanding and commanding of my defence and team all the time, every game. So its just expected as I like to be a leader on the team and show by example.
But as far as shot stopping, nothing too out of this world. The goal was a bullet that I barely got fingertips too, and the one 'insane curve' was pretty crazy as it was dipping and swirving and can only parry it away, which led to a disallowed offside goal. (Don't know if it was in fact offside or not). You guys did in fact out possess and out chance us, but in all honesty, we knew that was gonna happen before the game (as u should with every team u play with the caliber of players u have signed) and we accepted it, withstood the pressure and countered when we could.
I feel our team did play very well as a TEAM and am pleased with the result. Whether we were the better team or not from a observers perspective I don't know, but from a Nomads perspective we anticipated what the game would be like and adapted to it. We knew u would have more possession and more chances. Fine by me, that's what I'm in net for. And by me controlling things in the back with my sweeper, we stood our ground and let S&H and others in the mid control any counter attacking opportuntities that were presented to us.
Just remember. With all those chances u did get, only one was finished with class. The second was garbage. Good pressure by the player on our defender but u have to admit it was lucky for a clearance to bounce of him and right inside the post. Could have been 2-1 us. But could have been any score if all chances were finished. I was what it was.....a fair result. November will bring the real truth.
As for my knee, its pretty bad. Swollen like crazy. Kneecap slipped out of place on my already torn ACL knee on the ACBC second richocet goal. Gotta ice like crazy before next week.
