(vol.
1W, no. 6; newsletter by h.s.)
The scene was set for a bizarre outing: first, Scooby shows up after leaving
me a message that he can't get out of work; then Rob shows up after sending
me a message that he's bashed-up his ankle and will be out for two weeks.
Here's the recap: When the smoke cleared, we had virtually doubled our season
goal-scoring total in one night. Our scoring leader, Scooby, began the assault
and russ and rob added first period goals to give us a comfortable 3-0 lead
at the first break.
Rob picked-up where he left off and scored again in the 2nd, followed by
Kevin (who was looking about 15 pounds lighter after battling the flu) and
then surprise Rob again. Then, with virtually our entire team on
the other side of the blueline except for me and Dave Matthews, the unthinkable
happened -- the Canadiens pushed in a rebound. At the end of 2nd, we were
up 6-1.
Roger did his Brian Leetch impression and crossed the blueline for a tally
and then, somehow, the Canadiens scored again to snap our shutout for the
second time in the same night. Not to be left out of the excitement, Glenn
Farkas added a goal and then, of course, rob and russ again. we won't mention
the other two open-net opportunities that we failed to put away
