The Doug was packed to capacity and the place was rocking!
The NAHL fans were anticipating the Eastern Conference Final game 7 to be
a close, hard fought battle between Blue and Green, the two best teams in the
league. What transpired, however, was a lopsided high scoring game as
Green exploded for several goals during the first two periods and had Blue on
the ropes with an 11 to 6 lead with 6 minutes remaining in the game. The NAHL
faithful were not happy and vacated the Doug for the nearest bar to drown their
sorrows. The Blue squad tightened the bench and pounded out 6 goals to win the
game and the NAHL Eastern Championship by the final score of 12-11! The
“Comeback of the Century” was witnessed by 3 fans! With six minutes left in the
game Tom "TC" Carroll, Jeff
"Hurricane" Cain, Jim "Taz" Heath, Tom "Shemp"
Champagne and Mike "Little Cum" Commerford led the Blue charge to tie
the game and take the lead with 1 minute left. Green pulled their goalie, Ken
"Rebel without a Rebound" Dean, and a few strings, and put seven men
on the ice, but could not beat Ken "Don't Ya Love Em Madly" Bradley
to score the equalizer. Goal scorers for Blue were Tom "TC" Carroll
3, Mike "Little Cum" Commerford 3, Tom "Shemp"
Champagne 2, Jeff "Hurricane" Cain 2 and Jim "Taz" Heath 2.
Green got goals from Dave "The Younger Tilly" Tillotson 4, Todd
"Philby" Philbrick 2, Jim "The Younger* Farrelly 2, Chris
"Brownie" Brown 2 and Jim "Big Cum" Commerford 1.
