Due to unforseen problems, Cobra Goaltender Jamie could not make it to the game. The Cobras (9-0-0) were forced to play a sixth man in net, but countered the handicap by playing four forwards. The result was an offensive smorgasbord, during which the Sabres (3-6-1) could only muster 6 shots on net.

Fearing the unthinkable (a loss), the Cobras came out firing, intent on building a massive lead early, to offset the massive hole where their goalie should be. Through three periods, it was all Cobras, dominating the rink at both ends and setting up a continuous shooting gallery on the Sabres netminder.

When asked about the unusual course of events, Team Captain Vroom said "We might have used more defensemen, but with four forwards, we control the flow of the game. It's like having a 60 minute powerplay. Naturally we let a few in that we couldn't have stopped, but we didn't give them many chances at all."

When confronted after the game, Sabres Goaltender said "This game was obviously a goaltenders' duel. I tried as hard as I could to keep my team in it but they couldn't get anything past him! I can't see the other end of the rink very clearly, but he must be one hell of a goalie."

He sure is.
