11/15/08 - Power down so game off - Worcester Telegram and Gazette (11-16)
The game against the Falcons was called off due to eletrical power failure. According to Bill Ballou's above article
"Think your 401(k) had a bad month? Sharks rookie Matt Jones broke his jaw in a game here on Oct. 25,
then last night was in the elevator when the power went out. Jones wound up stuck there for about 20 minutes
before he finally was able to squeeze out. Jones was able to pry the door open and put his foot in it
so he got some air and was no worse for wear after finally escaping".
