FLYERS   2    HABS   1
Scoreless entering the final stanza.  Then with game tied 1-1 and looking like it may end that way, Captain Ryan O’Rourke led his troops to the victory with the top shelf game winning goal!  Steve Orr with the Flyers initial marker.  Goals against leader Mike Haines was spectacular in nets!  The venerable Al Pyc with the Habs goal.
WINGS   5    BRUINS   2
The Wings rattle off four final period goals for the W!  Deuces wild for goal scoring leader Jimmy George and John “The Little Ball of Hate” Perini.  Bo Altherr with a single.  Rick “Cheap Trick” Neilson strums in both Bruins goals.  This was a penalty free game.
SHARKS   4     HAWKS   2
The Sharks play a strong game and declaw the Hawks.  Big Ben Haynes with the deuce.  Singles from the La Familia connection of Sammy Bonanno and John Zuccarini.  Subbing for the suspended Billy Hagen – sub Mike Garlick with both Hawks goals.
HAWKS   3    HABS   3
A very even – up and down game as the score indicates.  Don Courtley, Al Pyc and Rob Lee tally for the French guys.  Pat “Crazy Legs” Berry(2) and Mark Smyth score for the Hawks in this penalty free game.
WINGS   3    SHARKS   0
Behind the stellar efforts of sub goalie Billy Papciak, the Wings sweep on the day!  Despite ending up in the basement this season, veteran defenseman Kenny Schaeffler proclaims to look out for the Wings in the playoffs!  Jimmy George, Todd Schurman and sub Hachigan do the honors for the Wings.  No red flags on the beach as the Sharks get blanked in this penalty free game.
FLYERS   4    BRUINS   1
The top spot Flyers send the Bruins to a double dip defeat behind the two goal effort of sniper Ronnie Meltsner.  Singles for Robert Stempian and John Dooley.  Goalie Mike Haines with a fairly light workload.  Jimmy “Boog” Powell with the lone Bruins goal.
A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL – POSTGAME PARKING LOT!
