Okay, so I wasn't exactly biting my nails, but it seemed like a thrilling enough finish. Two goals in the second period of extra time canceling each other out so Hamid could play the hero in PK's on his season debut. Given no video evidence, not much to say beyond: (1) our lineup looked weaker than it could have been, (2) Nowak's looked pretty much first-choice, (3) we advance, and the folks reporting live seemed to think we were carrying much of the game.
So we'll chalk that up to a good response to the unsavory end to this past weekend's match, though giving up an equalizer late in extra time when you're up a man isn't exactly the way to put the Mental Lapse Demons out to pasture, is it?
Oh, and before I forget...this one's for you, BDR.
Heh! The spontaneous laugh in the stands was awesome. Thanks for thinking of me!
