Scotty Bowman once walked into a bar when his St Louis Blues were out past curfew. He didn’t say anything. He plunked a quarter in the jukebox and left. The song? Fats Domino’s ”Kansas City,” which just happened to be the locale of the Blues’ farm team.

BRUINS 4 HABS 4
Kenny “Prime Time” Wilkins scores with the goalie pulled for the Habs tie! Mike Ala with a two goal game, Kenny “Debus” Debus also with a goal. Bruins Captain Steve “Mario” Lemieux with the trick! Dougie Roehl also scores for the Bruins. A light moment happened in this game when Habs goalie “Sugar” John Marchin was almost caught day dreaming on a length of the rink shot that just missed going in! Maybe John was thinking about the beaches in Florida or when he is going to get his next haircut!

FLYERS 5 WINGS 4
Captain Ryan O’Rourke snaps the 4-4 tie with eight seconds left in the game off a face-off for the stirring Flyers victory. Robert Stempian with the deuce. Jeff Morton and a on a dazzling move on the Wings right defenseman still looking for his jock strap and then going top shelf water bottle – Paulie “Knuckles” Polizzi with singles! Wings – Eddie Higgins, Sammy Bonanno, Kenny Perko and sub Mike Garlick. The Wings surrender another lead this game as has been a recurring theme this season and now have scored the most goals in the league, but also have allowed the most goals in the league! Quite an anomaly. This was a penalty free game.
