Thursday's game was no contest as Eddie the Anvil shut down the Whites, who were loaded with guns like Cuzzin Joe, Tweedy, Marsha, Art K. and Johnny Z.  The Reds were totally out of control, scoring 11 goals in the first 2 periods.  I had a lot of my slower moving brain cells get killed in Peoria, so I can't remember any of the 15 or 20 Thanksgiving goals, but I do remember eating some of Eddies Brats, smothered with grilled onions and washing them down with some beers. (Thanks to Brinks, Uncle Bob and Eddie)

The 2 hour and 45 minute game was much more memorable as the Whites edged the Reds 2-0 with goals by Brinks and Thor.  The meaningless game was also very close as 38 year old Dave Neys scored 3 goals for the Reds.  The Whites defense, anchored by Mike Ladas and Rich Storm were able to keep high scoring Peoria Hot Shots like Emil, Rod and Art under control.  Hacksaw's Macedonian neighbor, John, declared the game a tie.  He also used the Rivermen chalk board to draw up some winning plays. Knarf kept the Whites in check as Klinger went wild at winger. A Big Thank you to Coach Jason Christi and the

Thanks to Wendy for letting her new husband out for the day.  Too bad he couldn't stay over night like he did in the olden days.
