Gaff wins it for MC in the shootout, 7-6.


Only one guy scored in the shootout, and it was Mike Gaff on the last possible shot...it was also an unassisted goal.

Once again Muzz was amongst the missing, as now Erik Hajen has played in more games than Muzz.

This game went back and forth like Melanson's sanity. Each team shared the lead like it was Pete Paperno's prom date.

Tweak scored three goals, then started to run his mouth. We're not sure how his team didn't draw and quarter him. Maybe it's because they are so used to Fab after two games.\

The Club had a 6-5 lead headed into the final period, where only one goal was scored. An out of position Mike Lanieri connected on a shot with 12 minutes left, and that would tie the game.

In the shootout, Rob McHugh would take a shot in his first game skating out, and he whiffed.  Greg Martinez, Scott Leyden, Mike Lanieri, and Tim McDermott also whiffed.

Only one shooter was left, and that was the Great Gazoo. Gaff went in and roofed one past Fitzy with authority for the win. Gaff took the Theo Fleury dive at center to celebrate.
