| The Blizzard has a hard time holding leads, 
      but they have a tougher time erasing leads.
 
      The Black Ice and their subs and sub goalie 
      grabbed a 3-2 lead after one and then a 7-5 lead after two. They would pile up 42 shots on Kenny 
      Plourde en route to an 11-8 win. Not even sub upgrade Steve Fabiano could 
      help out with the defensive woes on the light blue Blizzard. "We're in every game, but we're one or two 
      defensive plays away from glory," said Ray Binky. 
      Scott Fowler subbed in for Muzz, and after 
      sucking in the last game as a sub for the Blizzard, Fowler was on fire 
      with a gaggle of goals for the black team. 
      "You know there's just such a huge difference 
      playing with Rizzo than there is playing with Cole or Khan," said a cocky 
      Fowler. "Rizzo's the only guy that can get me 4 or 5 goals with all my 
      ribs still broken." 
      Frosty and Hajen split the net duties for the 
      Ice, both allowing four goals. 
      "I thought we'd have a chance when Hajen came 
      in, but he was better than Frosty I think," said Rich Scanlon. "It's too 
      bad their actual goalie didn't show up. I own him."
