The Reds Win a Thriller!

Romeoville, IL December 2, 2016  Attendance: 26
The Reds went 0 for November.  They did pick up a tie on Thanksgiving, but their last win was on October 21.  The Anvil came back to get the Reds back on track.  He had a great 1st period and Reds took a 3-0 lead with goals by Bill "The Maestro" Conti, Mike "Mini Wheezer" Oskroba and Tom "T&A" Ambrosia.  Jeff "Speed Racer" assisted on Mini Wheezer's goal.  Fred "Fruit Cake" Bobka assisted on T&A's goal.  The Whites woke up and outscored the Reds 6-3 in the second period to give us a 6-6 tie going into the 3rd.  Commander Ken led the come

We had a poor turnout again at the Tilted Kilt. Maybe we will try Wild Wings again.

back with 2 goals that were assisted by Terry and the Czar.  Lil' Bill Bill also had 2 goals in the period and Tumblin Terry and Phil "Sampler" Samples had goals.  The 3 second period goals for the Reds came from T&A, Maestro and Brian "Stew" Stewart.  The Whites took the lead with a goal by Grandpa Ken then the Reds tied it at 7-7 when Mini Wheezer set up T&A.  Reds took an 8-7 lead when Speed Racer Jeff set up T&A's hat trick.  Whites tied it at 8-8 with a goal by Bill "BTW" Louis  then the Reds took a 9-8 lead when Mini Wheezer scored.  Jeff had a break away in the final minute, so he cut to his left and waited for a slow moving train.  Mini Wheezer took his perfect pass and scored to give him a hat trick. 
Final Score: Reds 10, Whites 8

Madison update:

The following Duffers will need tickets for Friday January 20: Commander, Hammer, Rob Z and T&A
The following Duffers will need tickets for Friday January 20 and Saturday 21: Beak, Klinger, Greg Z, GI Joe, Beer Nuts and Wheezer.  Brinks has offered to get us tickets if I give him a number. 
I was wondering if we went back to Wild Wings we might get more than 5 guys after our games.  We had ta

bles for 10-12 and only 4 guys from my locker room show up for food.  We thought maybe the old guy locker room had another slider party, but then Mini Wheezer and T&A showed up after the

cooks  went home.

We had a much better turnout at the UC SkyBox.  Thanks to Commander.

We had another slim turnout at the Kilt.

Jeff gives his Dad a friendly face rub.

I've been told that if Berserk was here, we would not have left a this much vodka in the bottle. Thank You Ken for inviting the Duffers.
