Icicles win ??? Guess so, 12-9.


What a difference one Russian can make. George LB hasn't lost a game all season, no matter what team he was on or if he was subbing.

He may only of had a few points on the score sheet, but just his presents on the court was enough.

"That's presents, not presence, right?" said Derek Cole.

Yup, that's what we said.

Ed Radil was wisely bumped up to the forward position, and he showed that offense is his position. He banged home a pair of first period goals as the blue team exploded for five goals in the 1st on rookie goalie Anthony Nalen.

Muzz and the Black Ice rallied and even took an 8-6 lead into the final period. Muzz finished with five goals on the day, but 16 third period shots by the blue team led to 6 goals and a 12-9 win.

"Of course we win," said George. "They didn't have Rain Vaters, that's why. And those refs never blew the weasel once for a hewk."

Other notes:

Vic DeAngelo had five assists for the Ice in the losing effort.

Joe Duffy and Jim Caeren played well for the Icicles, but are struggling to become more than just one dimensional players. Atleast Joe is.
