Jeff Lamb told the famous "Audi Story" and it was good laugh, "No one remembers the goals I fricking scored, just that my dad won an Audi."
Mr. Lamb famously shot a puck from the far blue line through a small opening in the goal between periods in the mid-Eighties. He won a brand new 1985 Audi 4000. It certainly is one of the most famous goals ever scored in the old DU Arena and wasn't even scored by a player.
Tom May's dad, Matty Laatsch's parents and the Testwuide's were all cornered during the course of the weekend.
