a goal to keep the Whites in the game.  The scoring settled down in the second period as both of the goalies had the rust knocked off.  Geno scored in the 3rd to tie the meaningful contest at 1-1.  The Maestro and Special Ed (Just in from Nashville) added to the Brain's misery with 3rd period goals.  The Whites were only able to get 3 goals past the Anvil.  The Whites had a hard time getting out of their zone, giving the Brain a plethora of shots.  All of that pressure gave the Anvil some much needed rest for his hangover.  The 8-3 win gave the Reds a slight lead in the 2009 Goal total.  Reds lead 103 to 101 after 15 games in 2009.  (See Stats)

The Reds averaged 6.87 goals per game, while the Whites dropped from 7 GPG to 6.73 this week. 
The Chicago Wolves' coaches gave us some great stories at Wild Wings, where the Reds won 9-8

A post office worker finds an unstamped envelope addressed simply to "God." Inside is a letter written in a shaky hand, from an old woman. She has been robbed, she says, of the $100 she needs to get by for the rest of the month and will have to go hungry without it if she doesn't receive divine intervention.
Deeply touched, the worker passes the hat among his fellow postal employees. They dig deep and get close to

what she needs, collecting $95, which they send special delivery to the old woman.
A week later, the same postal worker recognizes the same handwriting on another envelope. He opens the letter and reads: "Dear God. Thank you for the $100 -- it really helped me out. P.S. It was $5 short, but that was probably those thieving bastards at the post office."
