Toronto’s shootout woes continue

[animal74 1,761]

Toronto Legion goaltender Joel Castle scraped snow out of his crease and then hunched down and stared down the ice at Vancouver’s second shooter, his former Las Vegas Aces teammate, Wann Kerr who lazily circled behind the red line sending glances Castle’s way. Castle thought of all the practice shots Kerr had fired his way during Vegas practices and how many got by him. Dang it, he knows my every weakness, Castle thought. Then, the referee blew his whistle and the time for thinking was over. Castle glided way out in front of his crease and Wann Kerr pushed forward and corralled the puck with his stick. He came down with speed and Castle slowly backed up. Then Kerr slowed right down to a crawl and performed a blurred series of puck maneuvers that left his former netminder sprawling as he casually flipped the puck into the top corner. He blew Castle a kiss as he skating joyfully back to the Vancouver bench. Castle laid his head on the ice for a moment, took a deep breath and pushed himself up. He thought about slamming his stick but he didn’t want to wreck Ronan Lavelle’s focus. If anyone could dig him out it was Lavelle. Unfortunately, Lavelle’s shot went wide and the Legion lost a league-worst seventh shootout.
