Attendance 21

Perfect Attendance!

The following 21 guys have perfect attendance;

Tommy, Maestro, Mini Wheezer, Beak, Bookie, Frank, Klinger, Ken Lopatka, Magoo, Art, Brinks, Johnny, Tom Ambrosia, Bill BTW, Stump, Terry, Koss, Fruit Cake, Hacksaw, Anvil and The Brain. 
The Whites suckered the Reds into sending their only Canadian over to even up the numbers.  The Whites had 8 guys and the Reds had 10, but they had Back Hand Johnny waiting in the wings.  As soon as Bill By The Way put on the White Jersey, JZ came out and gave the Whites 10 guys and the Reds were left with 9.  That meant Klinger, Frank 

and Beak Junior had to double shift as they rotated 3 defensemen.  The beer tasted awfully good after the game, (Thanks Brinks!) but they were hurting the next day.  The Whites started the scoring when Art solved Eddie early and then their stealth player, Johnny Z, paid instant dividends as he made it 2-0.  His Brother Tom answered that one to make it 2-1, but Art regained the 2 goal lead with a blast.  Tommy set up Beak for a one timer, but Art blocked the shot and Tommy gave Art a mouth full for spoiling his meaningful assist.  John Koss scored a nice goal to make it 4-1.  Bad Back T&A (Tom Ambrosia) made it 5-1 for the Whites.  The Maestro scored for the Reds to make it 5-2.  Beak Junior fired a turn around slap shot the was deflected right on to the post.  It sounded good, but it bounced out.  TZ made it 5-3 with a wrist shot that hand cuffed the Brain.  Art added 2 more to make it 7-3, so Tommy scored a pair to make it 7-5, but Johnny fluttered one over the anvil and under the cross bar to put the game out of reach.  Brinks thought Koss had 2, but is that possible?  Final Score was 8-5 There were no meaningful goals.  Special Ed was at Wild Wings after the game and promised to make a comeback next week.  Wild Wings attendance was unacceptable.  (1 small table)

Happy Birthday to Wolves assistant coach, Jason Christie's son who was born on 9/11/2001

Maybe Donny will bring him out one day.  You know Jason  was almost Duffer property, we had a deal worked out in a Peoria bar with the owner of the Rivermen when Smurf was their player coach.  She wanted Stump and Beer Nuts for him, but she nixed the deal when she found out that Beer nuts was an overweight, ugly cigar smoking guy.  She thought we were going to give her edible Beer nuts for her bar.                                          TO is out for September! 
"Tom O'Connor said that he can't make any September games, because he will be watching the SOX!  I sent the following to him: 

"Listen son, I learned long ago that the Cubs or Sox can win or lose without me watching.  I also learned it doesn't matter if I wear my lucky shirt or under ware.  So you might as well go play hockey have a beer and watch the  replays at Wild Wings.  If they won, the beer taste a little better, if they lost, the beer taste great, because you feel happy that you didn't waste your  time watching a bunch of losers!
