The Red Wings were trailing 3-1 at the beginning of the third.
They scored twice to force overtime, it went to a shootout where Hamilton pulled it out on a goal by Jash Dadic. No one else scored in the SO.

Still waiting for the Stouffville PS operator to sign off so the question can be answered.

SURELY YOU JEST!!!

Wow, what is going on??

I can feel excedrin #3 coming on!!

I'm not reading another friggin' post about Bruce Crawford - well today, anyway.
Like YOESEMITE SAM & the HIGH DIVING ACT & THE GRISWALDS at WALLY WORLD , I read all the hype & went to see the momentous occassion. The kid didn't dress.
Myself & the other 100 or so folks saw the SPIRIT take a 3-1 lead only to loose in overtime. SPIRIT's top scorer , McCann had a partial breakaway with less than 10 seconds left & got a shot off from a bouncing puck but a good save by the WINGS goalie who also made a nice save - high glove- on McCann in the shootout.
Solid game in net for SPIRIT though he'd probably like to have McQaude's 2nd & tying goal - low glove - back.
WINGS went with a short bench which enabled McQuade a lot of ice time. Besides the two goals he got to chirp a couple fans and instruct Refs ROBERTS & GAUTHIER on points their game is lacking.
SPIRIT are very tetative on their breakouts which enabled WINGS to recover defensively when they were coming from behind.
A reliable source told me Matts SUNDIN was in the "crowd". (Thought I'd combine both soap operas.)
NOTE TO SPIRIT:
Your town is growing like crazy - I can't believe the building. Why not approach the builders with a promotion where they give a "family pack" - couple sets of 4 seat tickets to a SPIRIT home game to folks who buy a new house in town. - you'll get some new fans...they'll get to know your team & meet their new neighbours & it makes them feel more a part of the community.
They may even find "THE CAGE." (and all its interesting characters)

Good Comeback from the Wings...Every game is important in this division, whether facing Stouffville or Wellington...Good work boys!

Just got in after being up for almost 24 hrs & misread the thread at the bottom...thought Tony was writing he'd just read that "Bruce Crawford is dead". So the DEAL was reported as dead, but it really wasn't dead, and thankfully Bruce Crawford is alive - though I drove out to Stouffville (did I spell it right Ron) & paid $10.00 but he didn't play. I'll be happy for everyone whe he does play & wish him the best & good health.
I'm changing the PTO on my tractor and the instruction booklet has less written about it than Mr. Crawford and he hasn't played yet.
I am however grateful that he's alive.
New thread , SUNDIN a HAMILTON RED WING?
