Brinks is On Fire!

Klinger started the scoring for the Reds with a nice goal that was set up by Beer-Nuts and Tommy Z.  Brinks quickly added another to make it 2-0.  The Whites came roaring back to tie it, with goals by Hitman and Thor.  Stump broke the tie when he banked a shot off of Harvey's skate that went right past the startled Ghost.  Harvey scored again on a backhander and Brinks added 2 more to get a Hat trick.  Brinks has been on fire since his return from the Olympics.  He has had 13 goals since March 22.  Brian "the Brain" was outstanding in goal for the Reds.
