Apple vs Sun Hockey Game

The hockey game was a quite interesting event. I was expecting lighthearted play and lots of camaraderie. What I saw didn’t hold up to my expectations. There were several heated skirmishes amongst players. I thought Sun’s team was quite a bit better than Apple and the 7-1 score reflected that. The goalie that played for Sun looked like he came from the NHL. I wonder where Dominik Hasek is right now? He stopped everything that was a reasonable save and some that were ever better than that. It took apple until late in the third period to break the shutout. The goal came with 17 seconds left in the 3rd period on a tic tac toe play resulting in a top shelf goal. The play was impressive. Unfortunately for Apple, that was about the only upside the entire night. Sun’s Chairman and CEO, Scott McNealy, started the game and played right wing. He didn’t have a goal but he made a nice play to setup a goal and got the first assist in the 3rd period. I wonder how many financial incentives were on the line if Sun lost the game.
