Six Goals for Art and AJ!

Romeoville, IL 1/7/11
Attendance 25
Sixes, Koudelka and Olpalka Rule!

Art and AJ Koudelka scored 6 goals while Brian Olpalka kicked out enough Red shots to hold them to 6.  Art got 4 goals and a slap on the wrist for going 3/4 speed when Beak was the last guy back on his break away, then he shifted into top speed. Beak would like to say he was sorry, but he couldn't because he was trying to do that.  Thor and V-Man scored solo goals to give the Whites 8 goals scored on guest goalie Rob, who got the emergency call at 4:30 from Dave the assistant to Stump, the Duffer Goalie in Chief.  Rob called his parents and they were

Pittsburgh Goalie

nice enough to watch Rob's 3 kids.  The Reds had 4 meaningful goals, thanks to Geno and Tom "TO"Oconnor, who tallied 2 goals each.  Tom "T&A" Ambrosia scored his weekly break away goal.  John "Cup Cake" Bobka scored in the closing minutes to give the Whites a scare, but time ran out and the Brain and the Whites won 8-6, while the Reds picked up the Meaningful win 4-1.  The Maestro assisted on Geno's second goal. TZ & TO assisted on Cup Cake's goal and Beak got a gift pass from Art in front of the net.  He was tired of hitting Brian, so he pushed it over to "TO" who buried his second goal.  We had a number of Klinger Crashes.  Klinger laid out his teammate, Terry, then he knocked TZ for a loop.  The Bookie stood Art on his ear and John Bobka had several run-ins with the boards.  Stump was having fun calling off sides until he was silenced by the Czar*.  Mike said, "one more whistle and you have to pay 10 bucks." 
*T&A suggested that Mike needs a title like our former Duffer ruler, so Beak sent out a call for suggestions and Czar seemed to fit best.  In Russia and Bulgaria the imperial connotations of the term were blurred with time and, by the 19th century, Czar had come to be viewed as an equivalent to a King.   
We Have a Date for the MLF Game!
Saturday, April 16, the Rampage Women will take on the Duffers who have reached the half century mark.  All proceeds will go the Mario Lemieux Foundation.  Last year the event for Lisa and the fund raised $2400.  Lisa has been Cancer free and is back playing hockey this year.
Pittsburgh Meaningful Age includes T&A
Berserk asked Beak to calculate a Meaningful age for the Pittsburgh trip, since we picked up Dan Smith an 18 year old goalie.  The Pittsburgh Meaningful age is 51.30.  Chris and Perry just missed it, but Koss, Doc, T&A

and Lepin Lu will be meaningful from March 17-20.
