...minutes later, MacDonald scored again off a feed from sophomore winger Robbie Millar. Millar sped up the ice from just inside the neutral zone into the middle of the right face-off circle, splitting two defensemen in the process...

...will reach a 400-acre, semi-religious encampment called Elohim City. There you will find a vine-covered structure roofed over with polyurethane foam, looking oddly like the cottage in the tale of Hansel and Gretel. This is the Worship House.
