Icicles drip on Blizzard, 13-9.


First the bad news, Chris Spuglio got in a car accident, and will miss a few weeks of hockey. He apparently was hit head on in Chelsea by an illegal alien. No word yet on if this women is related to Obama or not.

Now the real bad news. The Blizzard took a 4-1 first period lead, scored four more in the 2nd, but somehow allowed 12 goals in the final two periods to lose 13-9.

Without Scott Fowler in the lineup, the Icicles managed to score six in the 2nd and six in the 3rd to send most of the Blizzard players home midway through the third period.

Mark Younkers left the game twice with injuries, but made sure to accidentally knock out a pane of glass to make sure nobody else could play either.

"Had I known it was the other goalie in that net and not my own goalie, I wouldn't have done it," said Younkers.

Moose 2.0 had four of the first six goals for the Icicles, and that's worse than Murf scoring four goals.

The Blizzard must be made up of Frenchmen, because they just give up to quickly. They held a slim 8-7 lead heading into the third, but all seemed to give up at the same time.

Rick Olson did a great job subbing for Spuglio, missing the net often and not passing on the 2 on 1 breaks.
