Seattle, WA (AP) - Stupidity rears its ugly head as Coach Don Cherry gets his boys
to cough up the game-winning goal.  Minutes away from going into overtime, and just
seconds remaining on a Jason Smith penalty, the Seattle Tsunami were swept away
when they decided to take an action card instead of a skate or icing attempt.  The
bonehead mistake allowed Paul Kariya to take a shot from his power zone, the inner
hash mark to Luongo's right.  Not wasting such an opportunity, the much-hated
player for Seattle fans scored to put the Avros back on top [IN5:GR10:SP8:G17].

"This is what we get when there's a TV monitor on the bench," said Cherry.  "Too
many damn distractions."

Following the goal, Cherry ripped the monitor from its place behind the bench and
threw it into the stands.  It is expected that he'll be fined for the act following
the incident at the end of the Major League Baseball season when a chair was thrown
into the stands.  Nobody was injured from the flying monitor.

"I'm sorry for throwing the monitor, but this just sucks," responded a depressed
Cherry.  "My boys deserved better.  And in the next game, we'll be much better
prepared."

In the other locker room, the Avros were celebrating.  "A win is a win," replied
Paul Kariya.  "And if there's something we learned last year it's one win can make
a difference."

Seattle's final home in the first block of NAL games will be against the Calgary
Grizzlies.  The Grizzlies were just one point ahead of Seattle in last season's
standings and is something that the team will do something about.

"It could have been worse for us last season," Recchi said.  "We could have ended
up in the basement like Hartford.  But we're thinking positively despite tonight's
fiasco."
