	Game Summary: Troubles and a Tie         The GHL made a nice transition to 4 on 4 hockey tonight.  The ice opened up a little and passes were actually hitting sticks, resulting in more shots on goals and scoring chances.  There were two players that really took advantage of this and made big stories tonight: Travis Alvine and Andrew Grotte.  In only his second series in the GHL, Travis Alvine scored 4 goals and added an assist for a 5 point total, quite impressive for a rookie.  Andrew Grotte had his best night of the year setting a 07-08 GHL single series goal record with 7.  "I found my rhythm tonight, and the puck found it's way to the back of the net...It's as simple as that," said Andrew, who hasn't really had as much luck thus far in the year scoring goals. "I always take the shots, they just haven't been going in...tonight, they did."         But the night was not without other happenings, in fact there was a lot of drama in the 3rd game, namely, the Tim Spicer/Marcus Bergstrom incident.  Marcus, as usual, had been pestering the other team's players all night, you know, giving extra little shoves here and there, playing the body, not the puck, and holding and grasping onto players.  Well, Tim Spicer decided he had finally had enough of this, and decided to award Marcus by slashing him in the back of the leg.  The slash was a dandy, as it afflicted Marcus's leg, and as if the stick were getting involved, the blade broke and went flying for effect.  Marcus let Tim know how he felt before the two were separated and given unsportsmanlike penalties.         This isn't the first time Marcus has been slashed by a disgruntled player, but hopefully it will be the last. That is, hopefully he won't push the players to that point, although a player probably never should let themselves get to that point.  You can always solve it the Nich Riveland way, try to fight Marcus.  It doesn't always work, but at least it satisfies the inner self, not to mention the fans.       Because of the 3rd game commotion, the GHL was very tense, and decided to end the game in a draw, a tie 4-4 which didn't leave a very good taste in anyone's mouth.  But, there'll be more nights, so all we can do is learn from it.
