  Beak, Boris and Bobka Bang the Blues

Friday turned out to be family night, as Jerry and Eric Miceli returned to action with their Dad, while Beak had his two sons and two grandsons.  The Miceli and Lopatka clans supplied 70% of the players.    15 year old Duffer GOD, Mike, started trash talking before the game. He called his Dad and Uncle old wimps, he was nice enough to leave his grandpa out of the age war. Mike found out that it's not smart to stir up emotions before the game.  Mike's Dad flattened him on the opening face off and his uncle Dan was  in the nets for the Whites and he stopped everyone of Mike's shots. If that wasn't   bad enough, Grandpa Beak stripped the puck from Mike and walked in on "The Anvil" for a break away shot that Eddie was able to poke away. The only problem was, his poke went right to Hacksaw, who pushed it into the net to give the Whites a 1-0 meaningful lead. 
Beak made it 2-0 with a shot that rolled up The Anivil's arm and then down his back and wobbled into the net.  "Fruit Bread" Bobka iced the game with a goal that made it 3-0 meaningful and Mike's Dad scored 2 to make it 5-2   meaningless.  It looked like the outcomes were settled, but then it happened.  The Alien 
scored a meaningful goal for the Blues that sparked 3 more meaningless goals to take the meaningless lead 6-5.  Mike Presecky used a tip that he got from Tweedy in Peoria to score a beautiful goal on Dan. He won't be getting any more tips.  The whites pulled their goalie and 8 year old Jeff went out there and helped Koss score the tying goal with 14 seconds left in the game.  The Blues registered a pre game protest because they only had 3 meaningful players.

Mike Presecky just released the long awaited Duffer music CD, and it sold out immediately.  The CD contains 17  songs that have been sung by Duffers over the years. In between songs, Mike has placed short clips from Slap Shot that give the CD an "R" rating. The CD is available to all Duffer fans for $9.95 plus Shipping and Handling.  Make checks out to Duffers Hockey. Here are just a few  of the songs on the CD: Right Back Where We Started, Elvira, City of New Orleans, One Ton Tomato, New York, New York, Money for Nothing, On the Road again, Dubuque, Dubuque, Walk all Night, We Don't Need No Education and many more.  Thanks for all of the suggestions, Mike is starting a folder for Volume II that will include Rocky.
