Game 5 notes: This see-saw series would be decided in Game 5. Reggie 
was fresh off a 9-1 pasting of Jim to even things up. Elvis sang "Viva Las
Vegas," the whistle blew and the action began. Rzonca went up 1-0 early but
Reggie hit a right defenseman shot to even it up. Rzonca worked his velodrome
magic to score with the RW to go up 2-1, then hit a shot with his center for a
two-goal lead. Reggie counterpunched with a long defenseman clearing attempt
that went in with about 2 minutes to go. The next goal was key, but Rzonca got
a rebound off a RW-C pass play to go up, and a fluke roller hit Reggie as
Rzonca won the decisive Game 5 by a 5-2 tally. As the whistle blew, fellow
players clapped as Frank Sinatra sang "That's Life" on the CD timer.
