Poulin and Karsten Pichon), LBS\u00a0suffered its worst season in recent memory in 2007.\u00a0 A slow start resulted in a record of 2-6, until\u00a0the offense exploded\u00a0for nine goals against\u00a0goaltender Tim &#8220;(S)crappy&#8221; Gray and the Mighty Squirrels.\u00a0 That win seemed to rejuventate the players to their old form, until a late season swoon left them with a .500 final record.\u00a0 Although they will miss the leadership of Molly Jacobs, who moved to California, LBS replaced her with another of the league&#8217;s top duos in Brian &#8220;Grandmaster B&#8221;
