A Night of Seismic Collisions!

Romeoville, IL
December 9, 2011

Attendance: 24

The Whites use Youth and Age for the Win!
T&A made his first appearance in more than 3 weeks and wasted no time putting the Whites up early.  Art served notice that there would not be a close game this week when he followed T&A's goal with a laser shot from the blue line. Geno helped get one back when he set up Nick the Prick for an easy one timer.  Gordie tapped in a two footer when he waded into a scrum and poked it past the Anvil to give the Reds a 3-1 lead.  

Mr. Clean was back in town to enjoy our warm weather

While playing defense,  Art managed to sneak out of the zone while the Reds were pelting the Brain.  Lil' T&A fired a long pass that looked like it was way out of reach, but Art did his Stretch Armstrong reach with his telescoping stick.  He pulled it in then fired a blistering wrist shot into the top shelf.  Eddie had no chance.  Geno set up Nick for another goal to cut the lead to 4-2.  Nick almost got his first Duffer assist when he actually made an attempt to pass, but Beak hit the Brain with a one timer. He is no longer Nick the Prick since he passed to Beak.  Lil' T&A, also known as Thomas by his Teacher, set up Gordie's second goal to make it 5-2.  Tommy Z banged one in off of the post and the Brain's pad to give the Reds a brief lift, then Thomas iced it a few minutes later to give the Reds a 6-3 win.  Guest Greg got a clean break away late in the game, but the Anvil stoned him.  Greg was still MVP in the "Legends Locker Room" for bringing a 30 pack of Strols.  Fred brought 12 cans of Budweiser, what was he thinking? I have 2 theories.  (1) He was trying to get Brinks to cut us off. (2) He won the 12 pack at church and his kids wouldn't drink beer made from rice.

Memorable Moments
Berserk and Art had a spectacular crash that supplanted all other crashes in the race for the 2011-2012 Klinger Krash Award.  Once Art recovered, Harvey tripped him on the next shift.  We always tell you youngsters that speed kills, but you don't listen.  T&A had a self- inflicted crash as he head butted the boards.  

A waxing Gibbous Moon had 99% of the visible surface illuminated. (We just missed a Full Moon by a few hours) Brian usually stays

home on a Friday Full Moon. 



Beak put on his birthday shirt to honor the sale of the Toronto Maple Leafs.  We had 2 beautiful fans thanks to T&A's daughter.

It was nice to see T&A back.  His Dad was in the hospital for Thanksgiving.

Johnny B looks a little like Stan Laurel, Greg looks bemused.

It looks like Hacksaw's eyebrows got bleached by the Florida Sun.

It looks like The Czar does not approve.

Hacksaw had a problem adjusting to gravity up here after baking in the Florida sun for months.  He had the camera upside and backward.  It is a good thing he doesn't do guns.
