Duffer News

This is the 600th Duffer-News!

Romeoville, IL 04/09/2010     The Anvil takes a Sabbatical Leave!
Attendance 26                 

Thor Miller was silenced after antagonizing Eddie the Anvil who took an unpaid leave of absence to get away from smack talking Thor.  Tweedy stepped up for Ed and shut Thor out and up!  Goals were hard to score this week, except for Bill By The Way who lit up the Brain for a hat trick.  The Reds could only get one other goal and that was a beautiful tip in by Rob the Guest.  Brinks had the first meaningful goal for the Whites when he fired one past Tweedy.  Jim "Rags" Ragland had another one of his Marion Hossa type goals and that pesty little Italian, Tom "T&A" Ambrosia gave the Whites a 3-3 tie.  That looked like the final until Brinks got a clean break away as all of the Reds imitated cones and watched Tweedy make a spectacular save, but the rebound went right to 

Terry gives some pointers to Rob, DGOD (Duffer Guest of  the Day)

Mr. Magoo who buried it to give the Whites a 4-3 lead late in the game.  The Reds were able to salvage a tie, when the BBB or B Cubed line (Bill,-Big Buff-Beak) teamed up for a tick tack toe passing play that started with Beak's pass to Big Buff, who cut across the slot and sent a pass to Bill BTW who one timed a shot past the Brain to pick up his Hat Trick and gain a tie.  Tweedy was happy with the tie, since his big brother, Grandpa Ken, didn't score on him.  When Brinks got into the locker room, his phone was ringing.  It was a call from the Assistant Coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins, he wanted to know the score of our game!  We have to figure out how to post live scores on the Web.  Maybe Rich Storm can make an App for that!  Tony can't wait for the Duffer News, he needs instant Duffer News updates.
