The Whites Start a New Winning streak!  See Stats

Once in a while, I like to write in the first person and use I and Me instead of Beak.  This time of year usually gets me out of the third person mode.  I have more to be thankful for today, after playing on Thanksgiving with both of my sons and taking a spill after a collision with T&A, (Now that I know how to fall, I have to work on getting back up.  It took 2 guys to get me back on my skates.  (Thanks T&A and Ken) I felt great on Friday morning and couldn't wait to play another game on

Klinger was back for Brats!

Friday night, after watching the Hawks and Wolves.  I felt like I did when I was a kid and came home from a Cowboy movie.  I would put on my cowboy hat, six shooters and holsters and go looking for bad guys, or after a 3 stooges movie we were  looking for another stooge to poke in the eye.  Thanks to Art and T&A for helping me get the scoring straight.  Zebra Hacksaw had the score right at 6-4, but he gave the win to the Reds.  They could use it.  Tweedy got the Reds on the board in the first when he turned the Brain inside out, but Art answered that with a blast past the Anvil.  Rich Strom got past the White Defense for a break away that he back handed past the Brain for a 2-1 Red lead.  Tommy Z tied it at 2 apiece a short time later.  Basketball Jones flattened Tom "T&A" Ambrosia with a hit that sent Tom's helmet flying.  When I asked T&A about the cut on his nose, He said it was from the collision with me and not with BBJones.  My son Ken gave the Reds a 3-2 lead toward the end of the second period on a beautiful slap shot from the point that blew past the Brain into the top shelf.  I sort of had an assists on that goal, when Tweedy drew the face off toward me, but I was talking to Terry about his lack of falls in the game.  Terry got the puck, but Tweedy took it away and fired out to his big brother to set up the goal.  Tommy Z tied the game early in the 3rd.  A little later, T&A managed to race down the ice without bumping into anyone and He scored to give the Whites the lead, but Tweeedy tied it with a top shelf break away goal that  his brother Ken set up with a bounce pass off of the boards  and out of the zone.  Art fired another low hard one that Eddie wished he didn't save, because it hit his foot and he let out a yell.  While The Anvil was on the ice, trying to shake off the pain, Tweedy cracked, "who's going to call his Dad?"  I didn't get it at first, because I never heard Eddie's Dad mentioned before.  Then, when I saw the look on Mini- Wheezer's face, I started to laugh.  I suddenly remembered a freezing cold night in Bolingbrook, when Mini-Wheezer's Dad got out of s warm house to drive his injured son home.  Terry "The Bratman" pushed the winning goal past the Anvil and then Art put the game out of reach with a Meaningless insurance goal.  For the second game in a row, there were no Meaningful goals.                                                                           Thanks to:

We used to limit Thanksgiving Games to  members only, but our members have had problems getting out of bed.

We had a Brinks sighting at the Wolves game on Sunday afternoon.  He came over to say hello to Tweedy and Family.

Donny Granato leads his assistant coaches, Jason Christi and Wendell Young out to the bench.  Don said Jason and him are looking forward to skating with us when the schedule allows.

Beer nuts was in the press box recording the game stats.  There was plenty of action, but the Wolves lost 1-0.  The Kids had a great time.
