Greatest Game Ever? Game 8 Possibility

An exhausted "Dumpin" Chase about to exit the Doug. 

It may be that last night's game 5 between rivals Blue and Green may go down as the greatest hockey game ever played. With just seconds remaining in regulation George "Dumpin" Chase found himself alone in front with the puck on his tape. He waisted no time burying the biscuit to tie the score just as the buzzer sounded to end regulation. For Chase it was his ninth goal of the game. It was one of the most remarkable stories in hockey history. The game went into five overtimes period without a goal until Phil "The Whistle" Lacasse called the game at 3 a.m. League officials decided to go to a game 8 if necessary. It has only gone to a game 8 once and that was last season.

 George "Dumpin" Chase had missed the majority of the season with a sports hernia that was a result of a Dave "Motor" Carlson elbow in the season opener. Last night marked the return of Chase and what a memorable one it was. He scored nine goals and had an incredible fourteen assists and three fights. Dumpin Chase hats rained down from the stands three different times. He broke the record set by Red Adams back in 1938. "I can't explain it", said Chase, "when things go right, they just go right." "I guess I must have had my mojo working". "I only wish I could have scored one more in OT.  In just two games this season Chase has worked his way into the top ten scorers in the league. With multiple scorers last night, The Leebo and the Swoop Awards are almost anyone's for the taking.

Ivanna makes a good point (or two)!

Dumpin Chase received first star of the game honors while Kenny "Don't Ya Love Em Madly" Bradley was named second star of the game for the eighty two saves he made in the OT periods alone. Greg "Moose" Moffet was named third star for his stellar play on the blue line. He was a plus seventeen for the game. He has also given himself a shot at winning "The Hugger" for league's best defenseman.
It was "Wet T-Shirt Night" at the Doug. Women showing up in wet-T shirts were given free admission to the game. The fans voted and the winner was announced. It was Ivana Getchuov of Russia who won by just two points in front of the runner-up.

CCHL: Week Twenty
Monday night featured a game between first place Buffalo Wild Wings and second place The Windmill. The breeze was up and "The Mill" was churning as they defeated B2W by the score  9-7.
Chris Doherty and "You Betcha" Faretra had multi-goal games for Windmill. Travis "Gang Bang" Banga sealed the deal with an empty net tally with under a minute to go. Phil Lacasse and Cam Heath each had a pair of goals for B2W. Windmill netminder Mark Crowley had a gusty performance  playing with "flu-like symptoms".  He drank three bottles of Nyquil before the game. "I was definitely relaxed. I was just letting the puck hit me", he said after the game. "Rebounds?" "I don't remember any rebounds", he answered when asked about the multiple rebounds he littered the ice with.
On tuesday night Cheers defeated Cimo's 10-8. Led by captain Tim "The Timinator" Walsh who scored six goals (just three less than Chase), Cheers overcame a pesky Cimo's squad who is fighting for  that final playoff spot. The Girl Scouts had the night off. It was Tom "Badger" Carroll  who led Cimo's attack by registering a hat trick. Zac "Geisha" Guercia made a career high 38 saves for Cheers. "The Geisha" is finding his game at the right time of year", said Walsh of his young goaltender who has struggled at times this season.
