...squads came close in the third period as the game opened up a little. At the six minute mark, Terrier Shaun Quinlan tipped a defenseman's shot over the Crimson cage, and then missed the net from ten feet away.

When Norwalk police stopped his blue 1958 Volkswagen, they found 1½ oz. of marijuana hidden where the batteries should be in a 3-in. flashlight in the glove compartment. And in his pocket was a tin tobacco box containing several marijuana cigarettes...
