A rare win for the worst team, 6-1.

The green team got lucky when Andy Long showed up late for the red team.

"Hey, I was early," explained Long. "All you sheep that turned the clocks ahead made me late."

By the time Long hit the ice, Thompson, Nichol, and Ryan Collins (2) had scored to make it 4-0.

"Ryan Collins scores two goals in the same game, and I missed it?" laughed Long.

The green team, despite the 4-0 lead was mssing Eric Grasso, who broke a skate and that leaves his playoff status in jeopardy.

"I don't know," said Grasso. "I went to push off and next thing I know my barefoot's on the ice."

Many teammates told him it wouldn't be worth getting new skates. That he wouldn't get them broken in for the playoffs.

"It's better he doesn't try to play on new skates when it counts," said Jimmy D. "We're gonna ask Derek Osbahr to fill in."

JA and Jimmy D. each scored to push the score to 6-0.  Mark DeFillipis busted up the shutout with 2 minutes to play for the 6-1 final.

With the win, the green team still has an outside shot of getting out of last place before the playoffs. Red blew a great chance to get back into first place, as the first place team had lost in the other rink.
