Hat Trick for Mini Wheezer!

Romeoville, IL 02/13/09
Attendance 23
Friday the 13th was Lucky for the Anvil!

The game started out with some bad luck for the Anvil, but he righted the ship and made it to Wild Wings to give the Reds another win at the Bar.  The BWW score was Reds 7, Whites 6!  Fruit Cake slid a slow ice hugger toward the net that hypnotized the Anvil.  He was not screened, he just stared at it as if he was wondering if the puck would ever make it to the net.  It did and it went in to give the Granato heavy Whites a 1-0 lead.  The shot was sort of like the infamous "Turtle Goal" that was immortalized by a Rich Storm masterpiece a few years ago.  The Bobka Factor did not help since that was the first goal and when you square 1, you still get 1!  Mini Wheezer, who was the star of our last game for catching the scheduling malfunction, tied the score on a pass from 6 goal Geno the Cyclops.  That goal seamed to unnerve the Brain, because Mini Wheezer scored another goal on his next shift.!

Uncle Bob was the first to be honored with a Hat trick Rich Storm.

The Maestro sent a pass down to Beak who was in the corner.  Beak made a Terry like move and landed on his butt.  What happened next is what separates Duffers Hockey from the rest.  Fruit Cake was trying to intercept the pass, but when he saw Beak take a tumble, he went over and helped him up, while Beak was telling him to get the puck.  Thanks Fred!  Rich Storm gave the Reds a 3-1 lead to end the second period.  V-Man banged in a nice pass from Robby Piggy Bank Granato, but Rich storm raced in and rammed another shot past the Brain, who was still reeling from the early Mini Wheezer assault.  Steve Crash Granato made it 4-3 when he caught Eddie looking for a pass to the trailing Brinks.  Steve slipped it into the near side.  The Reds started to pull away in the third when Mini Wheezer picked up his hat trick with a nice pass from Back Hand Johnny.  Bill BTW sailed a Frisbee like shot from the point that went right in.

 TO (Tom O'Connor" put the game out of reach when he tried to pass to Beak, but Klinger one timed it right into his own net to tie the Meaningful score 1-1.  Koss finished off the scoring when he undressed the Brain then roofed a shot into the honey jar.  Beak looked like he was going to win the Terry-O-Meter race, but Terry took a couple of late spills to win 2-1.

Mini Wheezer was the # 1 star of the game for second game in a row.

The Anvil allowed a "turtle" goal when he was mesmerized by a Fruitcake Shot in the first period, but he recovered and gave his team a 7-6 win at Buffalo Wild Wings!

Hacksaw has moved to a sunnier climate where he can play tennis with guys like the ones that are pictured on the left.  Looks like fun.  He hasn't answered his mail since Beak, Klinger and Frank asked if they could bring sleeping bags and sleep on his floor.

Harvey was busy driving lovers around on Valentine Eve.

Klinger scored a nice one timer on his own goalie
