Shark in the Water by V V Brown probably played on the radio five times on the car ride to Washington D.C. over break before it was stuck in my head. Looking at the lyrics I have no idea what the message of the song is, but take a shot at interpreting what “That is right, rules are rules, this is what I get for just winding you up.

The Rams took a 1-0 lead in the first period on a goal from senior and captain forward Sam Stanton and never looked back, scoring twice in the 2nd period and again in the 3rd to seal the victory.
