Attendance 3

Only 4 games left to go!

Roadkill 10, Wags 6
Last week, Perry responded to a Beak e-mail Tommy that gave the game time and Date of Tweedy and Tommy's Men's league game.  He told Beak that he would go to the game and watch the young Duffers.  Beak told him to put his bag and stick in the car since they only had 6 skaters for last game.  Tommy Z called in sick, so the Flea got the call.  He was put on a line with Dan Granato 

Here is a pre-game picture of The Flea putting on the foil.

and one of Dan's college line mates, Steve Keppler.  Perry adjusted quickly to a new level of play.  The Wags are one of the better teams, but Perry had the misfortune of playing one of the best teams in the league.  They not only can fly, but they are smart and they really pass.  The Roadkill spoiled Ed Waghorne's shut out late into the first period, but they added 2 quick ones in the first minute of the second period.  They added 2 more to take a commanding 5-0 lead at the 10:29 mark of the second period.  Jon Woodring scored a short handed goal a minute later to give the Wags a little life, but the Roadkill took the 5 goal lead right back a minute later.  Mike Ladas took a pass from Russ Real and buried it to make the score 6-2.  Three minutes into the 3rd period Russ set up Woodring who made it 6-3.  Hope was smashed again by a Roadkill goal a minute later.  Half way through the final period, Mike Ladas scored again when he was assisted by Boyd Prucha.  Less than a minute later, the Roadkill answered to make it 8-4.  While Boyd was sitting in the sin bin for tripping, Woodring and Dan Granato scored short handed goals to make it 8-6, but the Roadkill put it away with 2 goals in the closing minutes of the game to give them a 10-6 win.  A record crowd was on hand thanks to Spring Break.  Tweed's sister, Kathie, was on hand with her daughter and a friend.  Perry was not listed on the score sheet, since he was a Canadian ringer.  The Duffers had no ice on Friday the 13th.   Hacksaw has a Picnic Permit for June 16

Lunch will be at the Nicks in Lemont on Wednesday, April 18 at 1:00. 

Spring break produced a record crowd.
