Attendance 23  Report by The Beak

Too Much Nick

The Whites killed the Reds with the little hammer scoring 4 goals by on his Dad  in the first 20 minutes.  Thor hogged all of the meaningful goals to himself. (he had all 3). They were set up by Tommy and the 5 eyed Canadian Line.  Tweedy scored early for the Reds, but he was stoned many times by the Brain after that.  Rich Storm had the other Red goals.  The Anvil must have sent the word out after Nick went wild in the first period.  Nick went back on Defense and only scored a few more goals.  Thor did provide his weekly laughter break when he fanned on a shot , lost his balance and flipped into the air, with skates and sticks flying.  The only one not laughing was Tweedy, who got hit with the stick. 
Tommy, Dan G and Tweedy Star in An Exciting Game on Saturday Night
Tommy , Tweedy and Danny Granato played and exciting game at 10:00 O'clock.  Their opponents
were college guys with speed to burn. They fell behind early, but they came storming back when Tommy set up two Peoria Duffers,  (Pete and Mike made several trips to Peoria with us)  Danny Granato gave them a 4-3 lead when he stormed out of the corner and jammed one past the 6 foot 2 goalie.  With 4 minutes left in the game they were given a delay of game penalty for shooting the puck over the glass in their own zone.  They didn't know that the new rule made it to the Men's A league.  The penalty proved costly as the College kids tied the game with 2 minutes left in the game.  Tommy went to work with the final seconds ticking down, he roofed a beautiful game winning goal with 30 seconds left on the clock.  Tweedy had a great game on Defense poking the puck away from the speedy forwards. 

Thor put on his wizard hat.

 
Duffer Festivus Party is set for January 28th at 7:00 P.M. at Rich Storm's House
The Duffers gave up trying to have a Christmas Party at Christmas time years ago, when Johnny Z suggested that we have a Christmas party in February, when everyone can make it.  Rich Storm has graciously offered to host the festivities at his house. 

Toronto is less than 2 months away!


We have a few tickets to the Friday night Buffalo Saber game.  Maybe Papa Joe will join us since he look so good on New Year's Day game.  He should get a rebate on some of the points that he used, since his wife had fun too.

Thanks to Mini's Dad   I got a chance to view our Thanksgiving game on the DVD that he recorded.  I had to watch it at 2X speed to make it look like a hockey game.  Tommy and Kevin looked fast, everyone else was slow motion.


Big crowd at Bonos last week.
