Rich Storm ruined Eddie's shut out bid on his first shift when he scored a nice goal on a pass from Mr. Clean. The Reds bounced back with 2 Tommy Z goals to put the meaningless score at 2-1. The Whites appeared to be on their way to a tie, when Tweedy kicked the puck away from a Red attacker at his own blue line and raced past the middle stripe and into the attacking zone where he was waiting for his seasoned wingers to arrive, when the referee killed the play with an extinct rule concocted by John Santora. John used to whine about speedy kids blowing by him, so the King came up with the 3 line rule that worked in its' day, because the kids, who are now in their thirties, learned the Duffer style of hockey. The last one to call the extinct rule was Agi, but she called it on our oldest Duffer. After the call, The King then marched off 15 yards and put the face off on the far blue line*. That was all that the Reds needed as Cup Cake Bobka went on to score a Hat trick! Prince and Doc added a pair to put it away. Tweedy, Stormy and Buck Shot came on strong for the Whites, but it was too little too late. Beer Nuts, who had to go home to get his pants, gave the Reds the Meaningful lead with a second period goal and that seamed to hold up until the bar room game summery.

	When Stump confessed to knocking a goal past his own goalie while trying to keep Beak from scoring. Klinger pointed out that the rule that keeps you from getting credit for scoring on your own goalie gives the goal to the closest offender, in this case it was Beak, a meaningful player. So the Whites were able to rescue a meaningful tie with that bit of bar room banter. Beer nuts was not at the bar to contest the ruling, since he went straight home to celebrate his game winner. We can be sure he will be back to complain next week. Remember, the game is never over until the last bucket is empty! *Duffers never whine and cry about bad calls, because we
