Welcome to

Ken and Steve Duffer Cookout

We will end the season with a cookout as we did last year.

Warning to Steve and Ken: When you do something 2 years in a row, it becomes a Duffer Tradition.  (Like the Season Ending Team Picture)

We had 5 road trip Tee shirts represented.  (Left to Right) Arizona, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, Las Vegas and Columbus.

Harvey got carried away when we had to do a "do over" to get rid of the flash. He buried his Green Bay shirt in Lynn's back.

We Will Finish With a Cookout!

Romeoville, IL May 1, 2015  Attendance: 18
As you all know, the final score is never final until the game is reviewed at the bar.  When the final buzzer sounded, The Whites had hat tricks  by Art, Drago Evans and Cupcake.  Steve the Hammer had 2 goals and would have had hat trick, but he couldn't get the puck away from Art who was cranking 95 mph slap shots whenever he got the chance.  Fortunately his slap shots missed everybody.
The Anvil had flashbacks of the 2012 MLF game when the Rampage coach went head hunting with slap shots.  He had another reminder of the MLF games when his son Nick was congratulating his sister Emily on becoming a Doctor, Nick said, "I'm proud of you sis for becoming a doctor, but I'm most proud of you for scoring on Dad in the 2011 MLF game shootout in front of a packed house." Eddie told Beak, "It was your fault, If you didn't score that goal on Brandi that extended the shoot out, Emily would never have been given the
opportunity to scar me for life!" 

Picture Night at the Kilt.

The Reds managed to score 9 goals with 5 of them being Meaningful goals.  
Geno and T&A each had a pair and Beak scored one on an assist from his grandson Mike. He used Cupcake as a screen and fired an ice hugger through John's 5 hole and then the puck made it through The Barron's 5 hole. Beak had an assist on one of Geno's goals.  He just needed a fight to get a Gordie Howe hat trick, but he passed on that since he already did that in the Joe Louis Arena in March.   Mini Wheezer scored 2 and Rob Z had one. I need help remembering the last one.  It may have been the Czar or Monet Mike.  Help  me out.  Mini Wheezer also passed on a chance for a Gordie Howe Hat trick when he didn't feel like dropping the gloves. (It's a lot of work bending over to pick them up after a fight)
Memorable Moments;
· T&A crashed into the Barron late in the game.
· Fred got upset when a wayward stick woke him up. The Czar yelled, "That's hockey Fred!"
· T&A got upset when Fred crosschecked him near his kidney that is just healing from a run in with a post in Detroit.   
The final score was changed from 11-9 to 10-9 when the panel of Duffer elders ruled to uphold The Anvil's protest. They disallowed Cupcake's 3rd goal. Eddie said the puck was under his pad and Beak supported his claim by saying, "I didn't see it go in, but I did see it under Ed's pad in the crease".  As usual, there were no Bobkas at the Bar to dispute the Anvil's claim, so the goal was waved off.  Sorry John, you have to get your dad to let you go to the bar. Ask your Mom, she will let you go. Tell her you lost a Hat Trick because your Dad wouldn't let you go to the bar. 
The first session of Duffer Male Model night was a success.  We had 5 road trips represented in the picture above.  

Next week, we will have Male Model session 2 outdoors.  Steve the Hammer and Commander Ken are working on a season ending cookout after Mini Wheezer wondered out loud in the locker room with a sad hungry look on his face after the game.  Steve and Commander Ken hosted a Great cookout last year.
