Magoo Gets the Game Winner !

Romeoville, IL 11/14/08
Attendance 23

The Whites Extend Their Winning streak!  See Stats
It looked like the Reds were going to break their losing streak, as they took a 4-3 lead into the third period, thanks to 3 Tommys and a Johnny.  Fred "Fruit Cake" Bobka came close several times, but "The Brain" had his number.  They had a Meaningful assist, when John Koss fired a clearing pass from behind his net and Beak tipped it over to Tommy Z for a break away goal.  Art started the Scoring for the Whites when he blew one past the Bionic Stump.  Mike "Rich Storm" Presecky scored a little later in the Period to make the score Reds 3, Whites 2.  Geno scored a break away goal when he slipped one past Stump, who had a strap from his leg pad trip him up.  Johnny added one to give the Reds a 4-3 lead going into the third period.  The Brain put up another third period shut out, while Special Ed tied the game when he scored his first goal since coming off of the DL.  He slid a slow ice hugger across the crease that that found the far corner of the net.  The disputed game winner was discussed well into the night at Wild Wings, where all game totals are confirmed.  (That is why we go there) A shot fluttered toward the net, where Magoo tipped it toward Special Ed, where it may have hit him and then deflected past Stump.  I heard Magoo yell "I got it", I had a flash back and thought I was playing baseball!  I never heard that

5 years ago, Stump showed up with walker

phrase while playing hockey.  One thing for sure, the Whites won again, 5-4.  The Meaningful score was either 2-0 if Magoo's tip went right in, or 1-0 if Special Ed got a piece of it.  The discussion ended when Special Ed graciously said, "I got a goal, give it to Magoo."  5 Years ago,  the Duffer News Headline was "Magoo gets the Game Winner!" The following Paragraph appeared in the 11/14/2003 issue: 
 
Tweedy's Reds were able to edge  the Brain's Whites in a thrilling 6-5 Meaningless contest.  The Meaningful game was equally exciting as Brinks gave the Whites an early lead when He beat Tweedy with a rebound. Papa Joe answered that goal with a bad angle flip that never hit the back of the net.  Fruitcake gave the Reds the lead with his first goal of the season.  Magoo put the meaningful game out of reach when he managed to pop a puck off of his shin  past the Brain for a 3-1 lead.  Stump played his last game with his God given hips.  We were making plans for our trip to Denver.  Read More...
