Biggest Crowd of The Year!

Romeoville, IL
December 6, 2013

Attendance: 23

The Reds Kissed a great looking Step Sister!
Magoo told Beak that he was bringing a young guest who was a pretty good player, so Beak made a call to his grandson Jeff and told him that he was needed to balance the power.  That turned out to be a good move and it helped the Reds jump out to an early lead.  Jeff scored on a pass from his grandpa on his first shift.  Jeff returned the favor on his second shift when he got an assist on

Magoo brought a guest that put 4 fans in the stands.

his grandpa's goal.  Tommy Z took the pass from Jeff and passed to Beak who fired a backhander past the Brain.  A few seconds later, on the same shift, Tom Zim scored to put the Anvil and the Reds up 3-0.  Tommy Z made it 4-0 early in the second.  It looked like a blow out for the Reds, but Ken "Commander" Kroll broke the shut out and made it 4-1 on a pass from t&a. (t&a was on the Red team, but Tommy Z traded him to the Whites for Steve the HammerGreg Z cut the lead to 4-2 on a nice backhand saucer pass from Brinks.  Mini Wheezer eased the pain when he scored to put the Reds up 5-2 going into the 3rd period.  The Anvil's medication (Crown Royal) was starting to wear off when Terry fired a pass to Brinks that T&A adroitly blocked with his skate, but the pass went off his skate and past the Anvil to cut the lead back to 2 goals.  Thomas (t&a) scored and made it 5-4.  That goal got the fans back into the game, we saw some yawns and cell phone come out in the 3rd period.  Magoo's guest, Andrew, who was a friend of his daughter spent most of his night trying to set John up for a goal, but Magoo kept getting stoned by the medicated Anvil, but late in the game, John converted a pass and tied the game at 5-5 setting the crowd into an uproar.  Shortly after that, Andrew gave the Whites a lead with 2:32 left to play.  That goal put Steve in an unenviable position of joining Coughenhour in the Duffer History book as the only Duffer to be on two losing teams in one night.  (Steve left the Whites when they were down 3-0, now he was on the Reds who are down 6-5)  Beak, the Duffer historian told his grandson that he has to get us a goal.  TZ won the face off over to Beak, who passed it to Jeff who was racing down the left side.  Jeff walked in and beat the Brain to tie the game at 5-5 with 55 seconds left to play.  Jeff took the puck after the face off and hit the post wit 2 seconds left in the game.  Final Score was Reds 5, Whites 5.

Memorable Moments: 

Only Terry, Fruitcake and Beak have perfect attendance.

Jeff had three fans that gave us a total of seven in the stands.
