Another Great Season!

Romeoville, IL May 9, 2014  Attendance: 21

Our regular goalies ended the season the same way that they started it.  (MIA).  The Bradley goalies filled in for our goalies in the season opener and Tweedy and Johnny B took the hits in the season finale for our "gone fishing" goalies.  Bill BTW had the first 2 for the Whites when he "duck souped" a Red defender and Beat Johnny B like a rented DVD.  The Reds answered that when The Czar fired a shot from the point that looked like Terry tipped it past Tweedy, but Terry said the shot went off of Johnny Koss.  The Czar scored again to tie the game at 2-2  when Matthew, son of Steve, tipped it past Tweedy.  Steve the Hammer gave the Whites a 3-2 lead with a goal that was set up by

 his son Matt.  Berserk shot one past Tweedy then added another blast that impressed the wives in the stands. (Once they got a text message from Greg)  Brinks and T&A had lots of chances to score but Johnny B was tough all night.  In the second period, Greg Z and Brinks made a nice pass to Bill BTW, who passed it to the slot right on the tape for a back hand score by T&A to end the period with a 5-5 tie.  The third period was all Red as Johnny B shut out the speedy Whites. Mini Wheezer scored a pair and Tz added a goal to close out the scoring.  Final Score:  Reds 8, Whites 5.  T&A had the only meaningful goal to give the Whites a 1-0 Meaningful win.  We partied on the Patio, so Wild Wings took a hit.  (There goes our sponsorship)  We added two great Duffers to the roster this season, Ken and Steve  provided a great tailgate party.  It was a nice ending to another great Duffer season.  We had SODs, DODs, GODs and WODs* at the game.  That is a new Duffer record.

*SOD = Son of a Duffer, DOD = Daughter of a Duffer, GOD = Grandchild of a Duffer, WOD = Wife of a Duffer.
