Nick Learns How to Play!

Romeoville, IL
December 23, 2011

Attendance: 34

Record Turn Out!
It looks like the Bookie had a father-son talk with his son about Duffer etiquette, because Nick found out that it is better to give than to receive.  The record turn out had us going with 3 centers, so Nick was in the positive side of the Plus-Minus stat sheet, after going a Minus 5 last week while playing a defensive style that had him in the opponent's crease most of the night.  This week he set up a couple of nice goals that put the Reds up early.  He set up Johnny B and Lil' Bill with beautiful passes.  Art "Stretch" Koudelka scored when he imitated Nick's defensive style and beat all of his

teammates into the offensive zone to score on the Anvil with a goal that was assisted by Papa Joe.  The Reds went on to build a 6-1 lead early in the 3rd period with goals by Mini Wheezer, V-Man and TZ.  Johnny B added his second goal.  Tweedy was having a great game in the nets with his family in the stands cheering him on.   Things started to unravel when Papa Joe set up Bill BTW to make it 6-2. Papa's youngest son then poked in a pass from Lil' Tom to cut the lead in half!  Tweedy didn't get rattled until Brinks set up Magoo for a shot that just passed the goal line before Tweedy grabbed it.  It may have been called a save in the NHL, but Duffer etiquette took over when Bill The Maestro" Conti said, "The whole puck crossed the line." Kevin the Wrench made it 6-5 in the closing minutes when he was assisted by Steve "Rembrandt" Granato and Lil' Tom.  The Reds hung on to take a thrilling 6-5 win to Wild Wings.  The Whites had the only meaningful goal(s) Magoo and maybe Steve "The Diver" Mazerella will get credit after his birth certificate is checked.  Steve gets the Diver nickname from his college days when he earned his keep in a Speedo. 

Memorable Moments

Nobody got hurt.  When The Diver came into the locker room and saw Rembrandt, he said "Oh No!", because the last time they  played together Steve G. knocked Steve M. silly.  The

time before that, he shot him in the leg in warm ups.
