The much anticipated rematch from last season's game 7 between defending champion Green and runner up Blue turned out to be a big dud! The Doug was filled to capacity early with the place buzzing with anticipation for the title rematch and Blue fans were not disappointed as Blue scored early and often. The final score showed Blue 13, Green 4 although it felt much more lopsided. Blue started the scoring on the second shift of the game on a scrum in front of Green goalie Ken "Rebel Without a Rebound" Dean and Blue never looked back. Brian Tillotson fired a blistering slapshot from the point on the next shift and it was off the races for the talented Blue team. It was obvious to everyone in attendance, including Green, that Blue coach Tom "Thumb" Flanders had his squad in top condition for the beginning of the season. Other blue highlights; Tom "TC" Carroll popped 4 roofers, Tom "Philby" Philbrick scored a pair and Jim "The Younger" Farrelly scored his first and second goals in the his NAHL debut. For Green, Andy "BTO" Bachman had the hat trick. By the third period the Doug was completely empty. Exiting spectators were overheard saying they were going to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch NBA preseason! The very emotional Green coach Tom "Painch" Painchaud likened the Green squad to a bunch of Peewees! "There will be changes to Green!" Painchaud stated.
In other NAHL action Magenta snuck past Mauve and Copper defeated Clear 6-2.
