** As [[OpposingSportsTeam arrogant]] as they are, the Adams County team are still kindergarteners and much like Stan's team don't know how to play, as a result the game ends with a score of 0-0.
** In most sports stories, UnderdogsNeverLose, so there should be no problem with putting a bunch of kindergarteners up against a team of actual adult, professional hockey players playing at their full capacity, right? '''Wrong'''. The Pee Wee hockey team get utterly destroyed by the much bigger, more experienced, much more powerful Red Wings.
