“The Bluenosers took their worst beating of the season, with Jim taking a career-ending smashed collarbone, and Shorn Michael claiming his back injury was so bad it felt like he'd died.

That couldn't stop the feral advance of the Nova Scotian mutants, Ruthless fluking a GFI to equalise on the last turn of the first half. You give an Ungor greased shoes in a blizzard, of course she's going to use them to slide in. That's what the curling training is all about.

Second half we just couldn't hurt anyone, but Rotgore stomped off to score a second time and then we kept the squigs away from our end zone. And so to bed.”
