The first place red team had a heck of a regular season, but the additions of Brian Leslie and Bob Powell to the gold team were just too much for any of the other three teams to handle.

It's been a while since we've seen a team this loaded, Gotham City from 1999 comes to mind...see below.



Five minutes into this Championship Game newlie acquired defenseman Brian Leslie used Andy Long as a screen to beat Vieira for a 1-0 lead. Who knew at the time this would be all they would need.

Derek Osbhar tacked one on later in the period as Gold took a 2-0 lead into the 2nd.

Afterr a failed breakaway by Deskin, he collected the puck in the corner, and his shot was tipped in by Sean Steigerwald for a 3-0 lead. Deskin would score later in the period for a 4-0 lead.

By the time the third period rolled around the teams were going through the motion, well everyone but Kramer. He sent Derek Osbahr away on a breakaway for a 5-0 lead. Osbahr scored again later for the 6-0 final.

Red had their chances, even Rick Breed. His rebound chance just missed going in. It would have been his first championship goal since the mid 60's.

Red went 0-2 on the powerplay, so even with an extra man, they never really had a chance.

The spread was 4, and the Loggers easily covered that.  A good time was had by all.
