The Anvil Hangs On to Win!

Romeoville, IL December 4, 2015  Attendance: 23
Reds 8, Whites 5  Anvil got the win for the Reds.
.Red goals: TZ 2, TO 2, 1 goal each from T&A and Guest Jay, Doc and Dan the Bird Man

White Goals: Art had 2, JB (Cupcake), The Czar and Rob Z had one each. Memorable assists came from Doc, who set up Tom O'Connor.  T&A got an assist from his guest Len Edling.  Mini Wheezer assisted on TZ's goal first goal in the 1st period and TO's 2nd goal in the 3rd.  Barron and The Anvil had a great dual going until the last 10 minutes of the game when Art kicked one past Barron (His goalie) and then a shot hit the post and rattled

Ken and Kids

in.  Beak almost scored when Barron pinned his shot to the ice with his pads. Beak saw half of the puck exposed and he didn't hear a whistle, (Because our Referee doesn't have a whistle) so he poked at it and jammed it out of site and under Barron's pad.  That is the only thing that went right for the beleaguered Barron in the 3rd period. 
My compliments to Cupcake for cutting his goal production from 3 per game to one goal. He did slow down on several breakaways and looked for an old guy to pass to, but the Whites were full of young guys.  He passed to Art several times, but Beak told him that Art doesn't need any help.  He is 30 years older than John, but He is not an old guy.  John will learn that when his team goes down 2 or 3 goals, it is OK to score

Beak will start collecting the final payment for the Detroit Road Trip after January 1st.  If you paid the $100 deposit, you owe $145.
Beak will need to send in room assignments to the Lavonia Hotel.  See the list that was sent out via E-mail on December 9th and let him know who you want to room with. 


Perfect Attendance: Beak and Fruitcake.
