Thor & Brinks Nail the Anvil!

The Whites finally found a winning combination when they split up the Beak-Boris Hop a Long line.  Thor teamed up with Boris and Beak paired up with Brinks.  Thor was able to tap in an easy goal when Tweedy took a pass from Hacksaw and feathered a beautiful pass to Thor on the edge of the crease.  Beak set up a Rich Storm tap in with a blind pass that was set up when Stormy and Beak double teamed Koss behind his own net.  Beak felt pretty good about the goal until he went back to the bench and described the double team and one of his team mates said, "Why did you have to double team Koss?"
Brinks clinched the win for the Whites when Beak hit the post and Rich Storm picked up the puck and shoved it over to Brinks, who fired it past a rattled Anvil. 
The Reds were able to win the Meaningless game with a tainted goal by
Zag Nuts.  The net and Gary the Ghost were spun around when Tommy tapped it in.  Stump, the referee, claimed that he didn't see the net move.  An old line from Slap Shot came up when He was accused of sleeping with old goalies.  (Latest stats show the Anvil's age as Meaningful) 
The truth came out at the Bar when we found out that Stump was unhappy with the Ghost.  (missed Hockey to watch the Cubs last week)

Beak lings

The King returned with a bundle of back issues of the Duffer News.  Frank and Klinger took longer shifts so that the King would last 3 periods, but the ploy failed…..  Miller Lite passed out Cigars to celebrate his first born…..  Chris and Wendy returned to action….  Johnny Z missed a chance to kick some bleeding Cub fans…. 
Attendance  26.

Peoria Road Trip!

We can't find any ice for the Friday after Thanksgiving, so we are looking at the possibility of playing in Peoria on that Friday afternoon.  Check your calendar and be ready to

let us know if you can make it.  Art can get us Peoria goalies and players to fill the void.  We have paid for ice at Darien on Thanksgiving morning at 9:00.  No guests are needed on that day. 

 

20 Years Ago

The Sox won the Division, the Duffers celebrated at the Fetting Wedding and Rich Storm was ticked, because he had to miss playing in his high school football game.  As I remember, we were singing a Jimmy Buffett song "Strummin my 6 pack, on Franks front porch swing".  Then again our memories are not too good anymore.  Last Friday, Beak asked Frank what the Sox had won that night 20 years ago and Frank said, "I don't remember, but I think they played the Dodgers."  Rich Storm helped out by telling us that they played the Dodgers 43 years ago.  (We found out that they won the division and lost to Baltimore 20 years ago)

Nick "The Hammer" joined Beak, Mr. Clean and Knarf at Nick's last Wednesday. Beak brought his oldest grandson, Mike Lopatka, to Nicks to help him finish his 1 pound burger. (That is not Hacksaw's bag lunch, that is his doggy bag.)
