2 lines is killing us

old guys!  Zagnuts, Tweedy, King Kong and Brinks are enjoying the extra Ice time. All of the fun we have watching guys fighting over ice time is gone. Now we are fighting over sit time. We are bringing Art up from the Peoria Duffers so that we can make up 2 lines.  ( I won't mention how much money we lose when we have 20 guys. $100.00 doesn't buy much ice time.)
I am starting a new feature in this week's Duffer News. You get your name in just for showing up. Where have all the Duffers Gone?
Frank, Koss and the King are on IR. Beer Nuts and Hacksaw have fled to sunnier places.  We are working on a Milk carton for Drano? Roger? Butt Head? Dizzy? Nailer? Dill Deau? Doc? Skeeter? Doc II? Super Dave? Wheezer? Uncle Bob? Buck shot? Mr. Clean? Dr. Evil? Alien? Gilbert?
Maybe we can trade some of these guys for that Russian on the Black

Hawks, Boris Smirnoff. We can give him all of the Ice time that he wants if he pays his dues.
The following 20 Duffers gave up watching the Mazda Tangerine, GMAC, Insight, Pacific Life Mainstay Bowls to play Hockey and support the team:
Zagnuts (2), Tweedy (2), Brinks (1), King Kong (1), Hitman (1), Mini Wheezer (1), Rich Storm (1), Papa, Harvey, Lorenzo, Beak,  Knarf (3), Klinger, Stump, Hansen Brother, Magoo, Fruit Cake, Thor, Young Freelander,  The Anvil and The

Ghost battled to a 1-1 meaningful tie.  Brinks gave the Reds a lead until Hitman floated one past the Anvil. 
Frank had a hat trick before the game.  His trick cost him a concussion.  Frank is doing well, he says, "a concussion is not as bad as a hang over."
