Showboats light up Fuji in 8-5 win.

Well goalie Tom Fuji started off this season like every other one, with a big loss.

"At this point, it's expected from everyone," said Bob Powell. "We all know the regular season is gonna suck, but come playoff time, he'll be holding the trophy."

The green Gunslingers took a 2-1 lead into period two, where they gave up 5 goals to the Showboats.

Fill in goalie Steve Lombardi made some huge saves for the red team in that 2nd period.

"Nobody knows who he was, but he was big for us today," said Joe Surette.

Third peirod goals by Dan McCarthy and Andy Long put it away for the red team.

"It's weird being on the other side of an 8-5 Fuji loss," said Andy Long. "But I'm sure once we trade Pat Deskin away mid season, all will be right again."

Gunslinger defenseman Jake Silk looked rusty in his return to Firday mornings.
