Another Slow Game!

Romeoville, IL
10/21/2011

Attendance: 16

Only 14 skaters showed up!
We only had one goalie until Stump rounded up the goalie gear and strapped on the pads.  Geno showed up with his hand in a cast, Mini Wheezer showed up with beer, but he didn't play because of a pre existing beer injury.  Stump had a good return to the nets and he would have had a great night if he didn't have 3 pucks bounce off of skates and go into the net.   The Whites had 6 uncontested goals, as the players were saving their energy and taking Harvey like

Nothing but laughs at Wild Wings.  Why would anyone miss this fun?

shifts.  Normally there are 90 minutes of ice time and if we have 3 full lines, each player has an average of 30 minutes each.  (Unless Harvey is "sharing" ice with you, you may be lucky to get 5 two minute shifts, because  Harvey likes to take 7 or 8 minute shifts.) Unfortunately Harvey was not there last week, so each guy had to skate an average of 64.28 minutes.  That makes for a very slow game.  Thor had Terry's shot go off of his skate and into the net, then he blew a slap shot past Stump in the second period.   Terry had 2 first period goals for the Whites.  Papa Joe had a skate goal and a rebound goal.  Art blew a slap shot from the point past Stump to give the Whites 6 or 7 goals. Rags had 2 beautiful goals that were almost identical one timers on passes from Tommy Z.  TZ also set up the Bookie for the Reds 3rd goal.  All 3 Red goals were power play goals. Beak realized that when Drago and him took a break  at the same time, the Reds had a big advantage.

Perfect Attendance Drops to 2.5

Fruit Cake, Geno and Bill Maestro (Geno showed up with a cast on his hand)  Only The Maestro is eligible for the Tim "Basketball Jones" Smith award that requires perfect attendance at the games and  at Wild Wings.  We may have to have the come up with a Fruitcake Perfect attendance award that requires you to show up for every game and blow off every post game fun fest at Wild Wings.
Please bring some car keys, so that Fred doesn't have to skate with his wallet in his glove.

This Cartoon reminded me of another Luke quote when he ate the icing off of a cupcake and said, "Look Mom, I made it bald!"

All seven members of the Red team showed up at Wild Wings to keep their winning streak alive and perfect!  The Beak- Drago power play was perfect off the ice.
