At first officials were simply mugwumping to see who came out on top?and which way to lean. Now, since Ky has promised to step down, they are out looking for new jobs.

For halt an instant, the four Ranger skaters were split, leaving a momentary alley to the goal. Hull never paused, fired a stinging slap shot down the 40-ft. slot. The puck skipped under the goalie's stick, under his right leg-into the nets. Number 51. For nearly ten minutes, hats rained down onto the ice.
