Gray Blades snatch victory from the jaws of defeat to dump Coopers 4 to 2

As Gerry passes the monitor showing the Leafs down 2 to nothing after only five minutes he does not take a second look, but it happened to the Blades anyway, we were down 2 o zip against the last place team after only 5 minutes!!!!

We were able to wear our fabulous Black uniforms tonight for a change....Coopers, who are in the first year in this league had a full squad...3 lines and 6 def....no room in their dressing room, they had to go outside to change their minds

Any how...we got to business and woke up, being down 2 to zip, we had to do something......and we did , Johnny A got us on board on a beautiful redirect from Paul, then the ever reliable Stone tied it shortly after ...and we were back in the game!!

Half way through the 3rd period, Paul, got a questionable penalty and we sent out Andy who right away scored a seeing eye Goal, short handed no less!! to give us the lead!!!

With a minute to go and needing a goal to tie, Coopers pull their Goalie...we knew we had to send our empty net specialist, Reg, but before we could blink, Hal  put the game away with his first Goal as A Gray Blade!!!..we forgot to gather the puck???

Jim Stone who got the tying goal managed to get his usual 3 assist performance and we hear rumours that even Putin has sent over under cover scouts to watch this guy

Alas, we could not do our team picture tonight because Andy forgot the Blades Socks!!. (pictured) I had to give the photographer a hundred bucks anyway and booked him for next week!!!

A great turn out at the noisy Jacks as we have a record 8 players including Paul!!!!

Jim is being informed by manager John Annan that his "no trade contact" may have to be waived. The league has several teams interest in his 3 point per game production and one team is offering Andy's twin brother!!!!
