In front of a sellout crowd, AM Lumber found themslves fall below .500 for the first time in their history. As Blood Sweat and Beers, they thought they could win it all, as the NARBs, they thought their girthy prowess would be enough to outstretch their opponents, and the newly formed AM Lumber team thought it could last until the evening. Unfortunately for these hardened warriors, not even the toughest AM Lumber found Buzzards appealing enough to keep on stroking. The idea of "look good feel good play good" was something Lumber took onto the ice with them at the start, and as the game went on, the boys felt something alright, but it wasn't good.

The first period ended with the score tied 1-1. Balsamo impressed Lumberjack fans with his play last night, scoring his first goal in 46 seasons, just three minutes into the game. Worried that he would look like a try-hard, Balsamo promptly spent the rest of the opening period turning the puck over to the Buzzards. Twice, he attempted to pass to the opposing goalie, but Balsamo, who is physically and mentally unable to comprehend tape-to-tape passing, instead slid the puck past the target and into the back of the Buzzards' net.

As usual, the boys went up, and spent the rest of the game finding ways to lose. The final score was 7-5, and AM Lumber sucks. Also, Harney got ejected, suspended, and un-suspended in the same night.
