Bolingbrook, IL 2/6/04
Attendance 26

Meaningful goals were still scarce last Friday as the Brain made a number of well timed "Brain Freezes" that kept the Reds from scoring a meaningful goal.  Tweedy had a couple of meaningless goals to tie the game at 2-2, but Sanchez popped in the game winner for the Reds in the closing minutes.  Hitman beat the Anvil in the second period to give the Whites the meaningful win.  I can't remember who scored for the Whites.  It may have been, Rich Storm, Miller Lite or Berserk.  I may have been talking when we scored, because we finally had 3 sets of wings, so there was more story time on the bench.  I sort of remember Blue Ball Bill scoring or hitting a post. 
Harvey claims he had a goal last week that I forgot about.  That would have given the Reds the win.  Stump the Reff didn't see it and my Saturday morning notes reveled nothing, so I apologize if I was talking when Harvey scored last week!
Thanks to The Berserks for their wonderful hospitality and great food for the fourth year in a row!  Those Brats were wonderful!  As I'm writing this, the History Channel 

Wendy's Jello Shots were going fast.

 is talking about the Berserkers!  They were famous for their outrageous behavior, that was augmented by mushrooms and alcohol.  What better place to have our annual Duffer Christmas Party!
Thanks to Tony, I will have an Avalanche Goalie stick that is autographed by the whole team!  It will be auctioned off at the St. Rita

Day at the races on March 7.  Tweedy can put a bid in for you.

20 minutes later, the Shots changed to? Denver Payment is due now!

Happy Birthday Papa Joe

Last Friday, Papa Joe bought a round of beers and then announced that he had played his last gameā€¦..as a 73 year old.  He celebrated his 74th birthday on February 8.  On Friday, the 13th, 2004, Papa will be the first 74 year old to play for the Duffers. 
Papa recovered a long lost Duffer treasure last week.  Our autographed picture of Ann Jillian was lost when the Delphian House closed a few years ago.  Robby is printing us a poster size picture for Bonos.

If you can't go to Denver that weekend, He would really appreciate it if you would help him fill one table.
