WINGS 8 SHARKS 2
He would rather play defense than lead his charges at forward. Forward Mr. General Robert E. Lee with an outstanding five goal game!! Postgame something green slipped out of his hockey pants. Could it have been a small chunk of kryptonite? Line-mates Ronnie Meltsner and sub Mercer both with1 & 3 games with the line totaling 14 points in the game! Oh – Pat Berry also scored. Captain Steve “Barney Miller” Dietrich and Ben Haynes with the Sharks goals, as they underwhelm with a double dip loss today.

Mark Smyth and sub Egrin both score twice for the Bruins. Steve Lemieux with a single. Robert Stempian goes twine twice for the Flyers. Sub Edit with their final goal as the Flyers drop a deuce today. As depicted in my preseason preview, I think it’s going to be a long season for these revamped Flyers.
While playing for the New Jersey Devils, Chico Resch once got pulled over by a cop: ”’Hey buddy,” the officer said, his voice as gruff as that of the toughest NHL forwards. “What are you doing?” “’I’m trying to find this church,” I said. “Did I do something wrong?” “You went through a red light.” I started groveling. I told him I’d just moved to Jersey, didn’t know a whole lot of people. At that point, I began bracing for the ticket. And then he recognized me. “Don’t I know you?’ he asked. “I don’t know. Who do you think I am?” “Don’t you play hockey?” “Yup,” I said. “You’re a goalie, right?” “Yup.” “Chico Resch? Goalie for the New Jersey Devils?” “Yup. That’s me.” ’ “Ive seen you play goal. And you, more than anybody else, knows what a red light looks like.’” Turns out he was a New York Rangers fan. At least he let me off without a ticket!
