6-3

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it out to the Plex tonight to watch the Red Army take on the Strangers. I was, however, able to receive a recap of the game via text messages sent from the Soviet players themselves. So, in what was a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory for Mother Russia, here are the even more thrilling bullet points, courtesy of the players who authored it:

• Here is your headline: Pat Mother Fucking King Winning (Pat King)
  
• 4-3 in OT (Jason White)
• Us (Jason White)
• I scored a pinch up one timer from Mike. Ryan scored with 30 seconds left to tie it. Pat worked a wrister in overtime to win it (Tony Horton)
• We played phenomenally defensively (Steve Hand)
• Offense and defense included (Steve Hand)
• Ummm I had about 6 bajillion shots on goal, but no goals. Of the 6 bajillion, most would say 2 bamillion had a shot of going in. (Pete Collis)
• And I played defense again (Pete Collis, bitter)
• 4-3 OT (Mike D'Ignazio)
• You get no bullets (Mike D'Ignazio)

Editor's note: Odell confessed that the goal scored with 30 seconds remaining actually deflected off of King's skate.

GOALS:
1: Horton (D'Ignazio)
2: Odell (unassisted)
3: King (Odell)
4: King (Odell)

PENALTIES:
D'Ignazio (slashing) two minutes

I'll give players until the end of Friday's work day (for me, 8 pm) to fill me in if I missed any assists, worthy notes to mention, or penalties.

THREE STARS:
3: Tony Horton
2: Pat King
1: Ryan Odell
