Big Buff. That strategy worked well as Grandpa Ken had more slap shots from the point than he had in his entire college career. They sent him one nice saucer pass after another. Ken was able to blow 2 past his little brother. The Reds did manage to grab an early lead with goals by Tommy Z, Rich Storm and Rags. Tommy Z delivered under pressure, when Beak bought him a drink at the bar the night before with the understanding that he setup a Beak goal. He sent an ice hugging pass from the left side that eluded the reach of the goalie right into Beak's "tire house" (Most guys have a Wheel House, but Beak has a softer tire house) where he was camped on the off wing. Beak one timed the pass into the net and did his best Academy Award act. He skated calmly to the bench and acted like he did that every game. That goal was upstaged a short time later when Hacksaw crashed the net with his stick on the ice where he deflected a bullet pass from T&A to tie the Meaningful game. Brinks then poked in the Meaningful game winner. Mini Wheezer added another one to the Red total to give them a 5-4 lead. TZ and Stormy added their 2nd goals, but they were matched by Kevin (Speedy # 99) and Blue Ball Bill who scored a buzzer beater that was scored while the Reds were changing lines after Tweedy froze the puck. Bill took the puck with out a whistle and put it past Tweedy while they had a 5 on 1 advantage. Mike Presecki was denied his hat trick when he poked in a goal that popped loose when the White goalie tried to freeze it. The Reds did not complain since they knew Beak would get even his pen. The superior coaching took over and the Canadians went wild against the Scooter Chair Line, with goals by Kevin, Darrin and Leapin Lu. Final Scores: Meaningful: Whites 2, Reds 1: Meaningless: Whites 11, Reds 8
