Was the Rob Short game you have here the game that followed the game when Fred Harbinson accused Short of "stomping" on the foot of a Vee player? Fred called the ref over to the Vee bench and showed him a cut on the boot of the Vee player and wanted a major penalty for attempt to injure. The ref fell for it and tossed out Short with a match penalty. The next day the league reviewed the incident and determined that Short was innocent. So the very next game Short snipped the winning goal in overtime. I can still see Short skating back to the Viper bench giving Fred a stare all the way.
