Rough Riders clinch 3rd place with a 6-5 win.
This game was dubbed he Ruffles Bowl,
because it was so chippy.
The yellow Rough Riders managed to hang on for a 6-5 win over the Breakfast Ballers, in a very physical game. Ben's great game in net, had everyone asking, woh was subbing in for Ben ? Green took a 3-1 lead into the 2nd, then laid an egg. The yellow team reeled off 3 straight in the 2nd to take the lead for good. Green had a neat rally in the third, but ran out of time. Nice job by Jon Morin and Jacob Minsk, both had 2 goals for the winners. Kevin Flanagan had 3 goals for the green team, despite going 0-4 on breakaways, which was about as good as Brian Armandn's 0-2. The loss puts green in the 2nd seed for the playoffs, and they will take on these 3rd place yellow guys. "We're missing too many guys next week, so I'm figuring a quick playoff exit for us,' said Rick Armand. News item: Rough Riders defenseman Steve Hardy is under investigation for performance enhancing drug usage. Hardy, 64, amassed 18 points in 12 games, exceeding his output from any of his previous 75 seasons. “How does a guy on the back nine of his career, like basically the 17th hole, suddenly put up career numbers?” said league captain Bill Osbahr. Perennial Coffee Cup champion Andy Long echoed the sentiment. “Hands of stone for 30 years and suddenly he’s Paul Coffey?” While signing a stick for young teammate Jacob Minsk, Hardy defended himself by stating that although he has frequently tested positive for KFC and Viagra, he’s never tested positive for steroids or high levels of caffeine.
