TZ scored on a wrap around to give the lead back to the Reds a short time later.  The game featured intense for checking by the Reds and smart pinching by Dave the goalie, Fruit Cake and Rich Storm.  V-Man had a clean break away that would have tied the score, but Little Mikie P overcame a 5 step lead and not only caught the V-Man, but sent him crashing into the corner.  Mike looked like he was sorry after that.  The Brain kept the game close with several great saves, but Rags finally beat him with a quick wrist shot in the 3rd period.  Mini Wheezer  added to the Reds' lead when he tapped in a rebound.  That seamed to open the flood gates, as Bill BTW scored twice on one shift, while the Anvil was kicking everything out of the zone.  It looked like Beak's early goal was going to stand up as a 1-0 Meaningful Game winner, but Mr. Magoo had other plans as the final seconds ticked off of the clock, he made a move on the Anvil and tucked the puck behind him with a half of a second left in the game.  That Buzzer Beater gave the Whites a 1-1 Meaningful tie. 
Final Scores: Meaningful: Reds 1, Whites 1
Meaningless: Reds 6, Whites 2
BWW Contest was no contest, as even Klinger went home: Reds 8, Whites 2

Joe (Ice Hugger) Evans thought that that would be a great thing to watch and bet Billy $20.00 that he would not run OUT and then BACK IN to the bar. Well, BBTW always up for a good bet, could'nt let it go and wanted to know who would hold the 20 bucks so Jimmy Rags says he'll do it. Billy then takes up the charge through the bar with Rags behind him holding the 20 to Billy's forehead. The bar parted like Mosses did to the dead sea. Chairs fell and BBTW and
Rags did their best OJ impersonation and, not missing a step, jumped over the downed chair and bolted out the door to the stunned amusement of the band. Moments later I got a call from Billy inviting me to join him on a double decker party bus that he barged onto. Rags was stunned that BBTW would start a John Travolta impersonation on a bus full of "brothers and sisters" completely unawares of the abject looks of horror that the kids on the bus were giving him. THAT would be the outstanding moment of that particular night anyway.

JOE: Bill owes you that 20 back as he did NOT run back into the bar as promised!!

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
Leapin Lu

Lu expressed disappointment with the low key write up of Beak's goal in the last Duffer News, so here is another version.
Rewrite of Beaks Tennessee goal:
Beak took the puck behind the net from his son Tweedy then rushed up the right side where he had to fight  off a hook from Leapin Lu.  Then he was met by Daring Darrin at the blue line.  Beak faked right , then did a spin-a-rama to shake him.  He ducked under a check from his son, Grandpa Ken, then cut across the 

crease and put the goalie down before roofing a back hander under the cross bar that shattered the goalie's water bottle.  How is that Lu?

I laughed so hard when Grandpa Ken got a call from his mommy on the bus after game 2. She balled him out for being mean to his little brother. Dan must have called their Mom and complained that Ken was ruining his weekend buy scoring all of those goals. See the story below.

Brinks

My memorable game moment came when I had a 3 way wreck with The King and Mini Wheezer in game 2. It took us a while to get up and gather our sticks, but then we discovered nobody had the right stick, so it took a while for us to sort out what went where.

Thor

Dr. Andrew Weil has a book, 8 weeks to Optimum Health. In his book, he outlines a program that will help you achieve optimum health. Here is his program.
Take a break from watching the news. TV news is a depressant. No Duffer has ever watched the news on a road trip.

Get away from depressing people, try to spend time with people that make you laugh. Where else can you go to church and see a guy come out with toilet paper flowing out of his butt? (That happened on our bus trip to Hayward when we picked up Papa Joe, Brinks and Muzzy from Sunday Mass. The small town people were amazed to see a huge luxury coach outside of their church. )
Go to a Hot Tub and sweat. We spent many hours in the Hot Tubs in Hayward, Detroit, Columbus and Green Bay.

Go for a 25 minute walk That downhill walk was only 15 minutes, but it took 30 minutes to get back up the hill.
Exercise sensibly then take in plenty of fluids. We played two fast paced hockey games and took in plenty of fluids.

Have some garlic and olive oil. If you ever went to a team dinner, you know that the (The King) choice of restaurant will give you plenty of garlic and olive oil.
My blood pressure was down 40 points on Monday morning.
We should be able to write off road trips as a health expense.
Keep those stories and pictures rolling in.
