lost the fight that he started.  The Wags again were short handed and they were the ones chasing 5 goals early.  Phil "Man-Oh" Manno finally broke the shutout with an assist from Kyle "Killer" Sandowski.  That made it 5-1 with 1:48 left to play in period one.  29 seconds later, Kyle set up Torey "Stuffy" Snick for a beautiful one time slap shot goal.  20 seconds later, Torey scored an unassisted goal that had the Ninjas saying, "Oh No, a 2 goal lead!"  The second period settled down and only Jeff "Speed Racer" Lopatka was able to score a goal half way through the game when he blasted a slap shot through the Ninja goalie to make it 5-4.  The Wags made it 7 unanswered goals in the first 5 minutes of the third period.  They added goals by Mano, Gerstner and a power play goal by Killer Kyle.  The goal was given to Kevin "Smooth as" Glass, but he said Killer tipped it last.  The Wags went on cruise control with that 7-5 lead and the Ninjas woke up and tied the game with a pair of late goals.  The referees only gave 5 assists on the 14 goals, so Killer Kyle picked up the playmaker award with 3 assists.   Ed the Wall Waghorn made 19 saves while the Ninja goalie had to kick out 29.  The Ninjas stayed away from starting any fights this time.  Only their smallest guy (He barely came up to the 4 foot high cross bar) tried to start something with Kyle and he was sent to the "Sin Bin" just 4 minutes into the 3rd period.  He didn't have time to get comfortable because Gerstner scored a power play goal in 36 seconds.  He was so small, he called Kyle Lebron James.  The little guy did get a little smarter, last game he wanted to "dance" with Shultz.
