Army gets Thumped

The Red Army was beaten soundly last night 7-3 by OBB (Formally the GFAFB). With the Army missing 2 defensemen, coach Terry Paukert move Steve Palmiscno and Steve Knipe back to the blue line. This virtually took any scoring punch away from the Army. Coach Paukert said, "We have reached a new low in the history of the Red Army. It may well have been the worst game this storied franchise has played." Paukert continued, "Even having Shawn McMillan or Kevin Kyle back in the line-up wouldn't have helped!" The loss drops the Army to 2-5-1 on the year and look destined to roam the cellar for a 2nd straight year. The Army was under the gun even before the game started. Goaltender Eric Melland was a late scratch due to an unknown injury. Unidentified Army sources claim that Melland has a stubbed pinky toe and couldn't get his skate on without some discomfort. Bill Knipe said, "He isn't old enough to use that excuse yet." The only bright spot on the night was Kurt Comeau. Comeau actually scored on a breakaway. That make 4 goals out of 245 breakaway attempts. The Army will face The Boardwalk for the 3rd time this season next week. Game time is 7:45 at the East Grand Forks Ice Box (Blue Line Arena).
