Reds Mount a Miracle Comeback

Thor was red hot as he converted several passes from Tommy for 3 goals, Tom "T&A" Ambrosia tapped a pair past Eddie, with great feeds from Fat Terry and Art.  Stump and Koss sailed freebie like shots in from the point as the Whites built a

comfortable 7-3 lead for their goalie.  That seamed like a safe lead since Tweedy's Goals Against Average , was 4.00 this year.  Geno Special Ed and Back Hand Johnny had the 3 early Red goals.  The Reds started their comeback in the 3rd period, when Beak convinced Nick that it was OK to score when they were down 4.  (His Goalie Biased Dad had warned him not to show off)  So Nick made it 7-4 just before Special Ed flipped a shot at the net that Donny Granato deflected past Tweedy.  Tweedy told Donny, "You owe me one".  Donny took the next face off and raced up ice, skating past every Red defender then slipped it past the Anvil.  Art and Tommy Z were on their best behavior after big games last week.  Art had only one with several assists while TZ was busy getting Thor a Hat trick.  Donny's goal made it 9-5.  The turning point came when Grandpa Ken started to crank up his slap shot that his little brother, Tweedy, was ready for.  Tweedy was squared up and watched as Ken fired a pass off net that Magoo one timed past him for a beautiful goal.  Magoo did a dance that would have made Dancing Harvey jealous.  That goal seamed to rattle Tweedy as Geno and Tom "TO" O'Conor added meaningful goals to give the Reds a 4-3 Meaningful Win.  Nick (Little Anvil) scored again to tie the game at 9-9.  AJ made an attempt to win the Klinger Krash Award by crashing into the boards after his breakaway.  He told his Dad that he forgot how to stop!  The 2009 season ended with the Reds scoring 1 more

goal than the Whites.  119-118.  The Whites ran away with the Meaningful race, 36-24 after outscoring the Reds 16-1 in January. Stats page
Picnic is Saturday June 6 at Argonne Woods

  • The Picnic Committee Meeting will be at Tommy's House on Friday May 22.  We are Looking for Award nominations.
  • The Friday, June 12, Summer Game is cancelled
  • Emil could get us ice in Bloomington if anyone is interested in a 2 hour overnight road trip.  We will set a date when Donny G

checks his schedule.

  • The Whites had 14 show up at Wild Wings for a 14-11 win!
It was great to see Donny finally have a Friday night off.  His arrival may have saved some the Whites some problems, because the defense was rotating 5 guys when he arrived and Koss and Fred have had good luck mastering that system.  Way back in the 80s, the King mailed a step by step 5 man rotation explanation to all duffers, complete with illustrations, because we had some team mates fighting over ice time.  Now we fight over sit time.

The cost of the Granato June 20th golf outing is $90 and you can call Dan (708 345 2600 ).
