It was a battle of Kennys last night as Blue forces a game seven with a 6-5 victory over long time foe Green. Both Kennys were sharp in nets last night. At the end of period one it was scoreless. The pace of the game was "extreme". Blue's coach Tom "Painch" Painchaud believed he needed a faster line up, so he scratched Andy "BTO" Bachman and Tom "Philby" Philbrick and replaced them with speed merchants Mike "Hipshake" Farrelly and Tom "Harry" Harrison. The move left many scratching their heads, but Painchaud looked like a genius after Blue's win forced a game seven back at "The Doug" next thursday. Tickets went on sale at 8 a.m. this morning and they were sold out by 8:20 a.m. Last night the game was all knotted at three apiece with just under eight minutes left in regulation when Green's Phil "Commish" Stuart whipped a wrist shot along the ice to put the men in Green in the lead. "With the way Kenny B was seeing the puck, I figured that I had the game winner", lamented Stuart. But, Clint "Eastwood" Cassavaugh jumped on a loose puck and slipped it past Kenny "Don't Ya Love Em Madly" Bradley to even the score. With just under four minutes in regulation play, Tom "Shemp" Champagne hooked up with Tom "Berg" Bergault to give Blue the lead. Green pulled Bradley in favor of an extra attacker, but Blue scored in the vacated goal and had a 6-4 lead with just thirty ticks left on the clock. Green's rookie Jim "Jim" Farrelly scored just as the clock expired to make it a 6-5 game. The first star of the game went to Kenny "Rebel Without a Rebound" Dean who made forty one saves. Kenny "Don't Ya Love Em Madly" Bradley was given the second star of the game. He made seventy two saves and kept Green in the game. The third star of the game went to Tom "Harry" Harrison who kept Green back on their heels all night. Fans lucky enough to get a ticket to next thursday's game at "The Doug" should be treated to yet another thrilling game seven between arguably "the most storied rivalry in sports".
