goal when he fired a bullet past the Brain.  The scoring picked up in the third period as the score was tied at 7-7 with one minute and twenty seconds when our little score keeper (Nick) stopped the clock.  (A good move we thought, since we were in no hurry to get to our freezing beer and the outcome of the game was far from over)  The scoreboard showed 8-7, because an off side White goal was erroneously posted. earlier in the game.    We played on for several minutes of free ice time, when Harvey scored in the extra time session.  The outcome of this game would have to be determined at the bar.  We drank our cold beers in the parking lot and headed for Buffalo Wild Wings.  When we got there, we were surprised to find out that the whole White team skipped out and went to bed, except for Bill BTW and Basketball Junes.  They didn't have a chance to sway the game outcome, since almost the whole Red team showed up.  Mini Wheezer, Special Ed, Knarf, Klinger, Beak, Bill Maestro Conti, Rich Storm and Tommy Z.  The Knights of the Bar table determined that Klinger got the Meaningful winner in Regulation.  Harvey was given the overtime winner.  Final score: Whites 8, Reds 7.  The Reds got a point for a tie in regulation and They won the Bar game 8-2!
