| Harvey and Dill Deau Do it in Peoria | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Harvey, who had the only meaningful goal in Friday's game, continued his hot scoring in Peoria. Stump was fantastic against the Peoria Hot Shots that came out to play, but he couldn't stop Harvey and Dill Deau. Harvey scored twice and Dill Deau penetrated the Stump once. Gilbert's nephew, Phill LaPoint, was equally spectacular in the Blue's net. We had 5 Duffers on each team and 5 very good Peoria players on each team. The mix worked out well. Thanks to Drano for getting us some players to fill out the teams. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The Peoria players were nice but a little strange at times. I say that because one of them said, "What a plethora of hockey experience on your line!" (Boris and Beak 120 years) Now I can't remember hearing that word since some college professor was trying to impress my freshman English class. I had never heard a hockey player use that word on the bench. When I got home on Sunday, I was flipping through the cable channels, I paused just long enough on the Three Amigos to hear the Chief Bandito use the word plethora. If that wasn't weird enough, the announcer that was doing LA Dodgers game used the word again and then Steve Stone said, "That man has had a plethora of injuries! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wheezer was a little upset as he was paired with Gilbert on defense. Stump faced a lot of two on ones and three on ones as Gilbert was in the slot, trying to score on his nephew. Gilbert (Rick Felman) caught hell from the King in the locker room for poor attendance. Gilbert is our road trip specialists. He has gone on every trip since joining the Duffers and has provided us with a goalie on our last two trips. Thanks Rick! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| After the game, we had a drink. The Guy on the right is Art. The king was his first coach. He played with Beak and Boris' son at Downers South. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Trip | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Option 1. The Duffers exercised every possible option available on the road trip of the Ninety's for sensitive guys. Uncle Bob's beautiful custom van was filled with a cooler of Strohs (Thanks Uncle Bob!) and ready to go at 7:45 am Boris and Beak were first to arrive at Denney's. Wheezer arrived at Beak's house and got directions to the Holiday Inn. The Van arrived with the King at the wheel and Harvey riding shotgun. Stump, Son of Mike and Dill Deau arrived a few minutes later, so it looked like everything was going on schedule. Beak's wife called and said Wheezer was only a few miles away. Wheezer went west instead of east and took 40 minutes to go 4 miles. At 8:15 we were about to leave without Wheezer, when he pulled up. We spent the night after the thrilling Chill game. Beak took a picture in front of Big Al's on Easter morning. Beak had no problem getting volunteers for the picture after he said, "You may as well get in the picture because Rich Storm will put you in the picture any way". | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Option 2. Gilbert, his kids and Nephew drove up Friday and stayed 2 nights at the wrong Holiday Inn. (twice the price) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Option 3. Dock and his wife and kids drove up and stayed one night. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| � | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Option 4. Mike DeVivo drove up for the game and returned home by early afternoon. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Option 5. Stump and Rich Storm played the game had a beer and a sandwich and returned home by early evening. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Option 6. Brinks and Natalie arrived for the Duffer team meal, stayed for the Chill game and returned home around 2:00 am. after dropping Boris at home. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Option 7. Magoo and his lady arrived for the Duffer team meal, stayed for the Chill game and disappeared into the night. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Chill Finishes First! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Columbus Chill and the Peoria Rivermen battled to a thrilling finish. The winner of the contest would win the division, so there was plenty of motivation. The Rivermen scored early and added another to take a 2 goal lead. The Chill came back to tie the game with less than 2 minutes to play in the first period. A Peoria defensemen iced the puck with 15 seconds left in the period. The ensuing face off produced a goal that gave the Chill a 3-2 lead after the first period. The Chill made it 4-2 after two, only to see it slip into a tie when Peoria pulled their goalie and scored with 59 seconds left in the game. The Rivermen won the game in a shoot out. That put the Chill 1 point behind with one game to play. Don and his team headed for Columbus to take on the Chill in a 4:00pm Must win game against the Dayton. A tie would have Peoria finishing first with the head to head tie breaker. The Chill had tied their all time win record last week, so a win here would break the all time win record for the Columbus Chill. The headlines sort of killed the suspense. The Chill scored a plethora of goals to beat Dayton 5-0 and set a record that will never be broken since the Chill will be moving out of Columbus. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
