Building upon their incredible success at The Box's Ironman tournament on Saturday, T.J. Miller, Dave Menhart, & Jeremy Virgin need to look to the same style of passing, forward-looking & jumping ahead in the play today against The CBMs.
Goalie Jonathan Whitbey needs to get his head back into the game after giving up a heart-breaking goal in the shootout in the Ironman playoffs to Thy Tran, who he will again be facing today in the FC-CBM match. Stopping a total of 4 of 5 penalty shots was encouraging, but it's always the one that gets by you.
And could a goalie controversy be brewing in Chantilly? Free Candy forward Derek Rupert had a near-perfect showing in the Ironman tournament on Saturday, giving up only 2 goals total (one of which while filling-in for another team who was without their goalie) going into the finals. If Whitbey has another poor showing in-net, could Free Candy management look to replace Whitbey between the pipes?
One big question remains, however: How much has the past 30 hours has taken out of the players? Between playing in an all-day Ironman tourney on Saturday, and many of the players partaking in a Bronze Division game prior to tonight's tip, could the song being played over the P.A. system be Jackson Browne's "Running on Empty"? We'll find out tonight.
Free Candy vs. Cider Box Monkeys: 6:40 p.m. DO IT!
