The two incidents that Gornick referred occurred in the third period.  Young Jeff Allen after being tripped, leaped to his feet and decked Bruin forward David Nash.  Nash received two minutes for tripping and Allen got a double minor for roughing.  Tony Mullen scored on the ensuing power play and the Bruins led 3-2.  Adam Bogorad tied the score at 3-3 with 5:30 seconds remaining after receiving a pass from Jeremy Menkee and making a beautiful move to elude the Bruin defense.  After slipping by the defense, Bogorad put a shot high in the right corner of the net.  The “Razo Incident” happened in the Bruin zone.  David Tempkin won a draw and sent the puck back to Ray Razo.  Razo, in an effort to get off a quick shot, somehow misplayed it and the puck squirted away backwards from Razo, through defenseman Bob Reefman’s legs allowing Ryan Townsend to have a breakaway from the Bruin blue line all the way in.  Townsend faked left and then tucked the puck behind Gornick’s outstretched leg for the game winner at 15:47.  The Quakes had a couple of excellent scoring opportunities in the last minute with Gornick off the ice but were unable to convert.  The best opportunity came with 15 seconds remaining when Bogorad wound up with the puck all alone in front of the net.  He wound up hitting Bruin keeper Vern Halquist right in the crest.  “I tried to go high to the glove side but the puck rolled on me at the last second.  I’d like to have that one back,” said Bogorad.  A crestfallen Ray Razo commented, “That was a bonehead play on my part.  I’ve already apologized to the team.  Sometimes things just don’t go your way.” 

The Bruins took the early lead only 3:43 into the first period when Sean Cronin hit a wide open Manny Jones with a pass.  Jones, who had snuck in behind the Quake defense, blasted a shot from the left side past Gornick.  At 15:15, Razo ripped a wrist shot off the cross bar past Halquist.  Greg Shaw and David Tempkin picked up the assists.  The Quakes took the lead in the second period when David Tempkin, after receiving a pass from Menkee, slid a back hander past Halquist.  Bill Burden also picked up an assist on the goal.  The Bruins tied the score early in the third when Jason Pringle got Gornick moving right to left and then ripped a shot over his shoulder on the short side to tie the game 2-2.  Nash recorded the lone assist on the goal.

The Quakes were without Jeff Sax and Nick Wood who were both scratched because of disciplinary reasons.  The two were caught out after curfew in a gentlemen’s club in the Binghamton area.  Also missing was coach Randy Carbone who was unable to get out of Keokuk, Iowa after watching the farm club play on Saturday night.  CFO Larry Glasscott was not amused, “I told that ()*&(&(B Carbone not to go to Iowa.  Does he listen to me?  Of course not, he thinks he knows everything about *&*()#$&)*(# everything!  He will be fined for this, that dumb &*#$*)!!  I’m also not happy with the scheduling.  The league is out to get us!  We’ve played three games in three time zones.  That’s a lot of &*(#$&)*#&*)# travel for a &*)&_(*_#@(  veteran team.  I don’t give &*)#&$*## if the league fines me for these comments, someone needs to pull their heads out of their *&%$ in the front office.   Now we have to cross the *&*@#&# country and play again in two days.  What the &*()@#&@*( is that?  I’m also not happy with Allen.  I hope he likes Mexican food because he’s going to be in &*(#$&*)#&#$() Tucson if he continues to play like this.  I hear Andrew Johns is playing pretty good, maybe it’s time we bring him up for a look!  And that *&)#$*&# Gornick is making a lot of money to stop the puck!  I’m not paying him to make easy saves, he needs to make the tough ones.  That *&#(@)#$&*@()&* always has an excuse!” screamed Glascott while petting Snuggles.  Gornick had to be physically restrained by Gary Wells and Leo Stefanov when told of Glasscott’s comments.  “That *#$&*(#)(#_(#$.  He couldn’t stop a beach ball from the *@&#)@*(#&*)( blue line if his sorry *&)_#($ life depended on it.  Why doesn’t he go screw the pooch since it’s the only *(#$(#*_ he hasn’t *#$&()#*_!”  Stefanov said, “I don’t know where Larry gets off saying this stuff.  He needs to work his calculator and sign checks and leave the hockey to the hockey people.”  Wells added, “This is *(#)$&*(# ridiculous.  My ass is sore from sitting on an airplane so much.”

Even Burden, the usually calm general manager, was irate, stating, “I agree with Glascott.  The schedule maker has his head up his *#&$!  We’ve been all over the *(*@##W(_ continent and the teams we’re playing have been basically on *#($&#) bus trips.  I’m also not happy with the officiating.  They only called one *@#&$*)&#*&*$&*) penalty on the Bruins all night.  Those guys aren’t #$(*_#($*# angels.  I do agree with Glascott about Carbone.  He needed to be here not in *#&)$*# Keokuk.  We’ll have a long talk when he gets back.  Now we have to fly all *(#&$)#*( night and try to be ready to go on Tuesday.”  Team owner Roger Lucich, fresh from purchasing a thoroughbred farm in Kentucky tried to be the voice of reason, “We’re a professional team and we’ll do what it takes to continue to deliver quality hockey to our fans.  The boys have to understand that things are not always going to be perfect.”

Jeff Allen sent equipment manager Martin Viveduk out to face the press.  In broken English, Viveduk said, “Jeff is sad.  He in tears now and feel shame.  Next game be better he tell me to tell you.”

The home opener is Tuesday night against the Quakes nemesis from the great white north, the Medicine Hat Monkey Time.  Before the game, long time GM Burden will be honored by getting a plaque in the builders category of the Quakes Hall of Fame.
