The Tahoe Golden Monsters did not play around in this game. They came out on a mission. They led for all three periods. They seem to be trying to get back in the fight as a top team in the division. Tahoe still allowed a lot of shots. That has been a consistent problem all season. Tahoe gets really comfortable in their own zone. There were over eighty penalty minutes in this game. There were injuries to players. There were even injuries to officials. The referees did a bad job at protecting the players in this game. That’s why so many players were willing to take bad calls. The officials were not doing their job. The players took matters into their own hands. It got to a point where only retaliatory penalties were being called. The ref lost control of the game early on. That did not stop the Golden Monsters from putting seven goals in the net.
