Goalie change, same result

The Red Army finally put Josh Gilbertson on the bench for his lackluster play the last few weeks. Mike Anderson was thrown back between the pipes, but that didn't halt the 3 game skid. Kelly's defeated the Army 8-3. Though Anderson played ok, having 27 saves, the Army just didn't have any flow. "If Gilby plays in the net we lose 16-3. Hopefully this benching will get him playing again. If we have to play Anderson in the net again he may have a heart attack. I think he sweated off 16 pounds," said a disgusted Steve Palmiscno. The Army had a tough time starting the game. It was 4-0 5 minutes into the game. This reporter thinks it had to deal with Todd Schumacher still getting medical treatment before the game and he had to miss those minutes in the first period. "Hey, when Schuie was in the game, it was 4-3. If we have him the whole game it is a 5-4 game either way," said Bill Knipe. When asked about being an integral part of the team a humble Schumacher said, "I'm just hear to help the team win. We are a team and all of win and lose together." Chad Swendseid was livid after the game. Apparently the Army was trying to force a suspension of the game and play it next week. "GM Kevin Kyle said that he was going to take care of it. Obviously he thought we played at Red River high school and not the Eagles Arena. The fire was suppose to be at the Arena. Heads should roll!" Kyle was unavailable for comment. Assist GM, Paul Markovich told the Red Army News that Kyle had to take a sudden trip to Brazil, a country that does have an extradition treaty with the United States. More on this next week.
