"Original Six" Tournament, September 2006
Bob Cuozzo is a more than capable player. After the Preliminary Round, he was in fourth position behind (1) Ken Dubois, (2) Lou Marinoff, and (3) Roger Owens respectively. The top six positions earned an automatic berth in the Quarter-Finals. There he faced the fifth place qualifier, Greg Scoma. In the Preliminary Round, they tied, 3-3. Their Quarter-Final Best of Five games matchup was equally close. Greg scored the first two victories decisively (3-1 and 4-1). Bob, facing elimination, used a little psychology on his opponent and won game three (5-4). Cuozzo fought hard to win game four in overtime, tying the series and forcing the fifth and final game. , Cuozzo attempted a rarely accomplished feat, that of winning three straight games after being down two games in a Best of Five series. He almost accomplished that feat. At the end of regulation, game five was tied 3-3. With either playing needing only one goal to win the game and the series. Bob did not score that goal.
