Shocker at Dakota!

Late Tuesday Result River Park South, MB

In what should have been the first of several playoff games following an intense regular season campaign , the Lube Kings had a sense of unfinished business as they greeted reporters following a 3-1 loss at the Dakota arena on Tuesday night. "Cock sucker!" A dejected RJ was heard muttering under his breath while walking down the tunnel after the final whistle had blown.

The entire Crop Dusters roster clearly came to play Tuesday night - ALL of them and then a few; the unofficial head count stood at 23 skaters at press time...

The contest itself was an intense affair. After a scoreless first, both teams exchanged markers in the second to set up a climactic third period. The Lube Kings started the frame strong, but 5 minutes in, the Dusters roofed a rebound to take a 2-1 lead, and then potted their third marker on a beautiful set up during a two on one rush.

It must be mentioned that Goalie Mich was spotted actually standing on his head during the game; no more obviously than when he closed the door during his first penalty shot midway through the third.

The loss capped off the Lube King's 4th season at the Dakota CC. This year the club finished with a record of 19-9-2 with a total output of 169 goals while allowing a paltry 144.

The club is looking forward to icing another team next year, so enjoy the golf season and let's not have anyone get hurt playing SOCCER or BASKETBALL this summer...
