Even Vieira can beat the last place navy team, 8-4.

The navy team had already clinched last place, so there was no pressure on the 8 skaters that showed up this week and took their loss like men.

"We're getting used to it," said John Ambrosino who was the only player to play in all 12 games.

It was 2-2 after one, as they last place team kept it close early, as they always do. Then the flood gates opened. Long, Deskin, and Dan Ryan and even Ben Kirby all scored for the red team.

"We held back as long as we could, but at some point, I couldn't keep the guys from doing what they do," said Andy Long.

Long also realized it was Thanksgiving, so he was in a giving mood, and called up Mike Vieira to play goalie.

"I asked Mike if he wanted and easy win, and he said sure," said Long. "He did give up four to the worst team, but thanks to me and some other guys, we got him the win anyway."

Red goes into the playoffs on a hot streak. Navy, goes into the playoffs with nothing but hope. The hope that they can get more than 8 skaters to show up.

"We have guys like Melito, Surette, and Hardy that can win games all by themselves," noted Lloyd Johnston. "I'm not counting us out, totally."
