Habs win big despite Saia, 8-5.

Week 5

The two best teams in the league met in the south rink to determine the top team (to this point).
Rookie goalie Luke Dobie allowed a weak goal on his first shot on net, as apparently the force was not with him just yet.

The Habs opened things up by scoring five times in the 2nd, and only some sloppy defense by the Canadiens Mike Saia kept this one from turning into a complete blowout.

"We just ran out of quarters to put in him," said Onello of the turnstyle.

Another Hab rookie, Brendon Bruner, scored the final four goals of the game for the red team, but still went minus four while playing with Saia.

Late in the game Brian Armand had to hook someone to get on the scoresheet.

"It was marginal at best," said Armand.

After the game, nobody was even missing Mike Vieira on the Canadiens.

"Hey, even Spinal Tap had to move on after people left the band," noted Rick Breed.
