What was intended to be an all-out air hockey war turned into a mere best-of-five series.
"We did not realize that we might become obsessed with the pool table instead of the air hockey table," Amy declared.
"I think Amy just realized she had met her match on air hockey. At least in pool we were on an even playing level," Amanda added.

Winner: Amanda (Red Wings)
Amy: "I'm convinced it was that jersey of her's
that gave her luck. How else could you explain her beating me? But who
cares anyway? I hate hockey and I don't care if I rule at air hockey or
not. I still beat her several times playing pool, so that's all that matters.
It's not like she can put '2002 Smoky Mtn. Air Hockey Tourney Champion'
on her resume or something. And let's not forget the high elevation we
were staying at. I'm not accustomed to living on a mountain, so the altitude
affected my supreme air hockey abilities."
Amanda poses in her Steve Yzerman
hockey jersey for the camera.
Amanda: "Amy is just a sore loser. She can't accept
the fact that I'm better at air hockey than her. There was no luck about
my winning - I did not wear the Yzerman jersey any at all while playing
the tourney games; I only posed in the jersey long enough for a publicity
shot. And the high altitude? C'mon, Amy, just because we're on the side
of a mountain doesn't mean you're less likely to hit a puck into my goal.
Apparently you left your cat-like reflexes at home. Face it, the Red Wings
rule. You should've picked a better team than the Coyotes to represent
in the tourney."
At least they had a nice
view of the sunset from their upstairs gameroom!
