The Granatos Bag 5 Goals!

Romeoville, IL 12/11/09    A Poor Turn Out with a Thrilling Finish!
Attendance 19                 

When Donny left the Wolves, we offered him a position with the Duffers as a Player Coach.  His pay would not change as long as his contract with the Wolves was still intact.  He wasn't sure how he could coach this team that was known as a "Drinking Team with a Hockey Problem", but he took the job and had no problem finding things that needed improvement.  He soon found that we were a group of guys that were afflicted with ADD. (Attention Deficit Disorder)  Most guys were focused on the clock in the 3rd period that was counting down to the buzzer that signaled beer for everyone.  Donny tried to demonstrate passing the puck for several weeks, but that didn't work too well, so the last 2 weeks he showed us how to score.  

#1 and #2 Stars of the Game

He gave the Whites an early lead with a goal that never reached the back of the net, it dropped down and came to rest just inches over the goal line.  He scored again a short time later with a goal that he buried into the net.  The Reds soon answered with a break away goal by Rick Storm.  Big Buff tied it near the end of the first period and gave the Reds a 1-0 Meaningful lead.  Donny's Dad put the Whites back on top when he scored 2 goals on one shift.  Rich Storm got the Reds to within one again, but the Bookie teamed up with his nose picking son to put the Reds up 5-3.  Brinks picked up his Hat trick to give the Whites a comfortable 6-3 lead.  Bill BTW managed to ignore his aching groin and make it 6-4, where it stayed until he scored again with 32 seconds left in the game.  It looked like a 6-5 final, but Coach Donny saw Mini Wheezer doing his Randy Moss impression, so he gave him a little needle that caused him to race in and flip a backhander into the top shelf, just as the final buzzer was sounding.  A miraculous 6-6 tie that featured great saves by The Brain and the Anvil. Klinger made a successful return after rehabbing his injured knee. 


Beak Report:
I took a hard fall on my butt, then slammed my head on the ice when V-Man ran me (Just Kidding)  X-rays of my head showed nothing. (Dizzy Dean)  "My tail bone and neck hurt a little on Saturday, then my stomach muscles started hurting on Sunday, so I took a 3 year old vicodin that can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and nausea, but that can also be caused by
watching the Bears.  By Monday everything hurt less, I can't wait for Friday.   

The Whites won the Meaningful game 3-1 and also took the Wild Wings contest 7-5,

where they had a slight edge because the Reds only had 8 skaters and there goalie had to go to work.

  

Nick was caught in a pick at Wild Wings.

"Beak just took your picture, tell him it was a scratch, not a pick."  Looks like a Nick Pick!  Is that the opposite of a Picnic?
