Gray Blades dump Coopers 5 to Zippo

We were a bit worried before the game with so many on the shelf, we had only 6 skaters and 2 old guys we borrowed from the Home

we were missing Andy, Chads, Mark, Reggie,  Kerry (between the moon and New York City) Quiggs and Gordo and call up Craig and faster Marc were unavailable!! so we were missing most of the team!! and...and we were playing with Owen and Paul still in recovery mode!!!!


Last time we played this team they had what appeared to be 4 lines and they got an early 2 to zip lead and we managed to come back ,  but this time they had only 2 lines, so we had a chance.

Did I mention that Gerry was fantastic tonight, because there were times we were hemmed in our end and he stopped all that came his way ., He knew there would be no back checking by this crew!!!
2 goals by Faster Pete and 2 by Johnny (who should have had 4!!!! and the still injured Paul had a beauty change up clocked a 2 1/2 miles per hour that just managed to cross the red line!! Colin set a personal best with 4 assists...
In the 3rd period Hal playing centre for a moment , used his fantastic speed to get a partial breakaway , but was hauled down , resulting in a penalty, but we thought it should have been a penalty shot!!1


Best part was that Jim Stone had a 3 assist performance tonight and continues to lead in the scoring race.  Jim attributes his performance to clean living,  betting on Buffalo in all sporting events and eating wings every night with a shot of whiskey!!!
Most of what is left of the team showed up at Jacks for some diet pops!!
How-come Jim always gets the Girl??????
