Poor Turnout, Great Game!

Romeoville, IL 07/9/2010
Attendance 17
TZ sets Up Beak's Game Winner!

Tommy Z, Beak and Terry went out on the first shift and fore checked the Reds with tenacity and speed.  The hard work paid off when Tommy sent a picture perfect pass to Beak who was camped at the back door.  Beak one timed the pass into the net to clinch the meaningful win for the Whites only one minute into the game.  That was made possible when the only 2 meaningful players were on the White team. (Beak and Magoo)  Crash Terry and someone else had meaningless goals for the Whites, and Jeff and AJ had 2 goals each to supply most of the Red goals.  That is all I can remember after a month has passed.  I sent out e-mails several times asking for help on goal scorers, but no one wanted to admit that they were there.  

Beak got his son Ken and grandsons Mike and Jeff out for some fun.

Looking at the Wild Wing pictures, I will give goals to the following for showing up at the bar: Stump, Dave "the Goalie Agent", Super Dave Sullivan, Koss the Kone, Grandpa Ken, Mike Lopatka, Tommy Z, Rich Storm, Nick and the Bookie.   The following is a semi true story of what may have happened: If you have a PC, you can listen to "Semi true Story" by Jimmy Buffett  (It will not play on a Mac)
Beak gave the Whites an early lead with assists going to Terry and TZ.  The Whites tried to clear the puck several times, but Beak blocked one pass with his skate then picked off another knee high pass with his stick.  That failure to clear the zone led directly to Beak's goal.  That line scored on its next shift when Terry had his skates kicked out by the Bookie.  Terry slid face first toward the rookie goalie with his stick in spearing mode, Beak grabbed the loose puck and fired a perfect pass toward the net that Crash Terry deflected into the top shelf.  Stump scored a goal when he deflected a pass off of his titanium hip right into the net.  Koss The Kone almost scored on a beautiful deflection that was headed for the honey jar, but The Brain, (his goalie) saved him from the embarrassment of scoring on his own goalie when He picked it off with the knob of his stick.  Terry was knocked down again by Super Dave, who didn't know that you have to trip Terry to slow him down.  Super Dave was forced to miss a season or two changing diapers.  Grandpa Ken had a 100
MPH, turn around slap shot, bounce off of the rookie goalie's helmet.  

I don't know if we will see him again. 
We need players for Friday:  Klinger is out of town and Frank is nursing a

blood clot in his leg, so get off of the couch and Show up on Friday the 13th, What could go wrong?

Ken, Beak and Donna have a smile and a beer

Michelle's team finished 5th out of 26 top Midwest teams.  Thanks to all of the Duffers that contributed to help my daughter pay for this expensive sport.

They were knocked out of the winners bracket after 3 straight wins. They were trailing 12-0 early then stormed back to make it 12-10 in the 6th.  They were not allowed to bat in the 7th because of a 90 minute time limit! There's no clock in baseball, but there was some crying.
