Gray Blades win round one of the Playoffs!!

Chads arrived way before the Zamboni had even emptied his last scrape so we knew this night was going to be different!!

Earlier in the day Owen sent an email to all the guys about the inspiration he had received from beyond and a course of action to take against the dreaded Lyons!!

Jim Stone , for once, read the inspiring message and related his thoughts to the team. The team took the advice and we won 3 to Zippo against the first place team that had only one loss all season.

Mark opened the scoring on a nice feed from Johnny, redeeming himself from an earlier play where he hit the post on an empty net

Then Tom got a penalty for a slap shot clocked at 5 miles per hour...moments later Faster Pete breaks his stick on their D and we have 2 in the box...but we fought it off!!

Their Goalie was great but ours was even better!!!!

Quiggs watched the game from the upper deck, suffering from an upper body injury that has put him out for the foreseeable future

Reg scored the second goal , using Dryds as a decoy , shifted their Goalie out of his jock strap

Up 2 to 0 with 2 minutes to go, they pulled they Goalie and Reg put it away with a tap in empty netter...see ya!!

Back to Jack's where we celebrated and talked about the adventure Quiggs has in stor for us somewhere near the moon!!
And did I mention that Katy Perry has died her hair Pink  in support of the Gray Blades and she happened to mention she has a big crush on Owen!!

Oh...and Stone had 3 assists!!...and Owen has fully recovered from being left high and dry at the Chicken Ranch!!
