HAWKS   5    HABS   2

Hawks play a near perfect game, as the outcome was never in question as they soar out to a 5-0 lead!  Power forward Kenny Perko absolutely buries the first and game winning goals en route to his MVP honor!  Captain Billy Hagen also goes twine twice and Robert Stempian smokes a breakaway goal.  Goalie Bobby Rutkoske was extremely sharp early in the game, as he had multiple Habs players shaking their heads!  Adam Godard and sub NP Ken Debus with two assist games.  What does NP stand for you ask?  NO PENALTIES!  Sammy Bonanno and Kenny Wilkins score late game goals for the Frenchmen.  A good time was had by all postgame at Joe Kools!
