Episode 12: Game 12, October 27

Back inside, boys. No sky, no wind. Just a building, a sheet that behaves, and a team that has not lost in a while. Tuesday, the Gateway.
That arch on the boards tells you where you are. Big room, blue room, visitors in white, small at the far end.
First frame, nothing on the board. A compliment to the kid in net. They came in waves. He just waited.
Then, cold. 76, one-timer, right circle, against the club that drafted him. Shot gone, building quiet. One-nil, and it is the winner.
Then the siege. Shot, save, one after another. Twenty-four stops in the third alone. Some nights the goalie just refuses to put it down.
Then 63, in front, tips it in. Video review, and it stood. First one for the kid. Two-nil.
Late, they pull the goalie. Six attackers, still nothing. No empty-netter. Just a closed door.
Forty-six stops. Forty-six. A shutout, a third straight road win. He did not steal it. He would not give it back.
Two-nil, back inside. No captain, no problem. Road trip ends Thursday, Longhorn Country. See you there.
