I didn't NOT shoot at the Ref...

Oh, Yes you did !!!!
"I didn't not shoot at the Ref", says PA.  Tied the Islanders last night 3-3.  Up front we had Noe, Trevor, Marc S., Michel, Karl, Ti-Boy, and Gilles. On the back end we had yours truly, Go20, Marc C., and PA.  The game had some pace to it.  The Islanders brought their legs out for this one.  We had replacement Goalie Jason between the pipes and he did a good job.  They got on the board first but we quickly tied it up to make it 1-1.  They took the lead 2-1 with a shot from the point after we lost the face off.  We settled in and both teams were getting chances.  We did a decent job of keeping them to the outside and they weren't getting too many second whacks at it in front of our net.  We tied it up to make it 2-2 and then took the lead 3-2 with about about 7 minutes to go.
With less than 4 minutes to go Noe gets called for hooking, but its a long delay before we can get our hands on it.  When we finally do in our own end, PA picks it up of the side board and decides to whack it down the ice into the empty net...only the Ref was right there in the line of fire.  We get called for Noe's hook PLUS, he calls PA for unsportsmanlike because he claims PA fired it right at him.  So they pull the goalie and now it's 6-on-3 with about 1:30 left.  Jason almost made the save but couldn't quite squeeze it under his arm and they scored the equalizer with about 15 seconds left....Tabernac!
After the game, PA's quote was, "I didn't not shoot at the Ref". Mmmmm...so there ya have it, a Tie 3-3.  Let one slip away.
