Green used it's extra sub to full advantage last night as they downed an under manned Blue squad in a nail biter that featured outstanding goaltending on both ends of the ice. Young "Stonewall" Tillitson of the famed hockey Tillitson family used timely saves to stave off the Blue attack including some last minute heroics as Blue pulled goaltender Kenny Bradley in favor of an extra attacker. Defenseman Gregg "Moose" Moffet said, "Kyle Tilly was outstanding". Moose knows something about goaltending. He was responsible for teaching Patrick Roy everything he knows about goaltending. Jim "Heathy" Heath supplied plenty of firepower for Green including a highlight reel goal where he sliced through the Blue defense and fired the puck into the twine. Many players were absent on both sides due to flight delays at the airport due to wednesday's blizzard. Those who had flown into the Captiol City a day early for the Premier of "Slap Shot" at the Red River Theatre were fortunate enough to get on a flight. Also present at the premier was none other than Mr. Hockey and Super Mario who posed along with the Hanson Brothers (Played by the Mailhot brothers) for photographers. Green had a distinct advantage with an extra player which proved to be the difference at the end of the night. Joe "Joe" Farrelly was a plus 4 making him tied for the league lead in that department and Norris Trophy candidate again. He won it in 1973 while skating with the Brady GREEN Giants. The Black Ice Rosters will be published as soon as Brownie can get them to The Pucking File office. Meanwhile, the cold weather has been making the ice at White's Park solid Black Gold. It is almost thick enough to be opened to the public.
