Dragons hang on for opening day victory

The Dragons Praha had a scare in their first game of season 4, a season in which they are projected to win Czech Republic Division 1. They carried a 2-0 lead into the third, and made it 3-0 early, but Killer Misko wasn't done, scoring two goals to give the Dragons a scare. They held on, however, and were one of nine teams in the league to start the season 1-0.

Adam Windisch scored the first goal of the game at 4:07 in the first to give the Dragons a 1-0 lead. Julie Windisch fed him in the slot for the assist.

Julie got a tally of her own, from Antony Seguin, in the second period. The goal came at 10:43 and gave the Dragons a 2-0 lead.

Jason Windisch scored just 59 seconds in the third period at the end of a power play. He took the puck off goalie Sarah Windisch's stick and went end to end for the goal.

At that point, the Dragons thought they were on their way to an easy victory. But Adam Bernau made them think twice. Joe Zakic and Acacio Vilareal made a pair of nice passes from the point, then across the slot to find Bernau with half an empty net in front of him. The goal came at 4:35, giving Misko plenty of time to mount the rest of their come back.

Makoto Bungo kept the come back alive at 13:33 with a goal from David Zelezny. That goal, however, galvanized the Dragons, for Sarah Windisch didn't have to make another save the rest of the game for the Dragons to hold on.

Dragons Praha went into Knightsbridge on day 8 and embarrassed the Crew in front of their home crowd. The Dragons had almost as many goals, eight, as the Crew had shots, 11. Goalie Sarah Windisch accrued an easy shut out.

Maxime Seguin led the way for the Dragons, scoring two goals and adding an assist. He scored the first goal of the game, as well as a late second period goal. Jason Windisch also had a three point night, all on assists.

Six other Dragons had multi-point nights. Lauris Darzins scored a goal and an assist. Julie Windisch scored two goals, one in the first, one in the third. Righty Mcd had a pair of goals, his first early in the second, and his second the last of the game late in the third. Lulu Windisch had two helpers, and Antony Seguin had a goal and an assist. Every skater on the Dragons was at least +2.

Sarah Windisch even recorded an assist to go along with the shut out.

Dragons Praha completely dominated a day 11 match against the Alcala Misfits. Though the scoreboard only read 5-0 -- a dominating score itself -- the Dragons only allowed four shots against, and more than tripled the Misfits in the hits, takeaways, and possession departments. Dragons goalie Sarah Windisch was handed an easy shut out.

Despite their dominance, it took the Dragons almost the entire first period to find the net. Jason Windisch scored the games first goal at 19:35, from Lefty Mcd.

Lauris Darzins gave the Dragons a 2-0 lead at 3:47 of the second period, assisted by Lulu Windisch. Again, Misfits goalie Hrmic Jorge was strong the whole period, allowing no other goals and keeping the Misfits within striking range.

However, the game broke open at the beginning of the third. James Seguin scored at 1:37 to make it 3-0. Lefty Mcd got his second assist on that goal. James Seguin got his second point of the night on an assist on brother Maxime Seguin's goal. Brian Rafalski also got a helper on the 2:52 goal.

Julie Windisch added another tally at 6:32 for the game's final goal. Relatives Adam and Jason Windisch got the assists.
