Is Three-peat Actually a Word?

Quick picture post today - just wanted to congratulate the MCM Ducks on winning the Portland Roller Hockey Championship for the third year in a row. Part of me secretly wished they couldn't do it without me, but I am happy for them regardless. Here are some pictures of their final game.

My photographic skills didn't get much use until the third period. The Young Guns (in red) were down 5-2 at one point, until two goals by Chris Griffin make it 5-4:


Here you can see that they tied it up at 5 shortly before the end of the third period. We're going to overtime!

The fans are tense as the game goes into overtime and the sun begins to set:


Overtime fails to decide the game so it heads to a shootout:


Two shooters go but the goalies do their job. The next Duck takes his turn and barrels toward the Young Guns' goalie. He scores!


Two more shooters are turned away so it comes down to the final shot. Young Guns star Derek Brown needs to score to tie up the game and send it into extra shootout rounds:


But fate was not with the underdogs today. The Ducks skate off with their third championship in as many years.
