Best Buy rests up for playoffs in 6-1 loss.

Week 11

Best Buy clinched first place back around July 4th, so the only thing they have to play for is Bobrycki's stats.

Apparently that wasn't enough inspiration as they lost 6-1 to Target.

Best Buy had all 13 skaters, which apparently is not a good thing.

"We haven't announced our playoff roster yet, but I doubt there will be 13 names on it," said Bill Osbahr.

Target had 10 skaters. Missing: Teal, Carman, Desrosiers. Or in hockey terms, a slash, a minus 4, and Mr. Token Shift.

It was 1-1 after one, then Best Buy rolled over faster than a Mass. Senator can stuff a wad a cash in her bra.

Move of the game: From his own blue line, Johnny Gambale deking out Beach Peterson and leading the rush. A lot of cheers and jeers from both benches on that one. Peterson was not seen in the breakfast lobby after the game.

"It has nothing to do with embarrassment," said Peterson. "I have to get home and put out my trash for tomorrow's pick up."

Both teams managed to stay out of the crease until the second period. So, unbelievably, no penalties called but one in the crease call was made by the lone ref.

Mikey V looked really sharp. First time all season. Maybe because backup goalie Speed Bratt was watching, licking his chops?

"I'm not sure if they were using Speed for inspiration or desperation," said Vieira.

George Anderson and Paul Maffa looked like season veterans scoring their Kotex goals late in the blowout.
