Last night in front of a sold out Doug crowd, hometown Green defeated first place Blue and pulled within one game of first in the Eastern Conference of the NAHL. In what many called "the best game of the season",fans saw lead changes multiple times. The see-saw battle was played at a dizzying pace. Both coaches shortened their benches in order to get their best players on the ice as much as possible. Green coach showed a lot of confidence in Tom "Berg" Bergault by using him in all situations, but it wasn't enough to bolster an impotent Blue power play. After Blue failed to get any offense generated on the power play, Green scored two quick goals and took the lead and held on for the victory. "Now that's what I'm talking about!" , exclaimed jubilant Green coach Gary "Toe" Blake. Blake has been on the hot seat all season after his team's slow start. Joe "Joe" Farrelly was named the 1rt Star of the Game, Tom "Painch" Painchaud was 2nd Star and Gregg "Moose" Moffett was the Third Star.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman says, the NHL is giving "serious consideration" to allowing "clutching and grabbing" back into the game after learning of The Pucking Files investigation into a "growing situation" of young players "getting gay" at the pro level. "It is our belief", said the Commissioner (not to be confused with the Commish), "that players need to clutch and grab each other. If they can do it during the game then they are less likely to do it after the game". Sean Avery of the N.Y. Rangers says that he likes the "crack down" on obstruction because it allows players to "get more creative on and off the ice". He came out publicly in support of gay rights in the NHL. He told The Pucking Files, "If a player is scared to "come out" then pick up the phone and call me and I will be there to stand beside you as you tell your teammates". When asked about Sidney Crosby being rumored as gay, Avery said, "Sid the Kid is not gay, he's just really lame around women."
