Their was some concern on the blue bench before the game, that they wouldn’t have enough guns to compete with a stocked white team of Kenny, Tommy, and Johnny.  But, Uncle Bob removed any doubt that the Blue team would be able to compete. In first appearance of the season, U.B. slipped two meaningless goals past The Ghost, as the Blues opened up to a 5-1 lead in the first period.  The White team managed to cut the deficit in the second period on a meaningful goal by Thor Miller and two meaningless goals by Kenny.  But at the start of the third period, the flood gates opened, and The whites began pulling away and finished the game 10-5.

Blue Non-Scoring Summary The Anvil  Boris dives into a hot pizza, while Rich Storm, Doc and Frank wait patiently.  The Peoria Rivermen won both their home games this past weekend to begin the 1999-2000 season in style at 2-0-0, but lost Bret Meyers for the season and Darin Kimble for a few weeks. Already on the IR were Darren Maloney, who should return for this weekend's pair of games, Kenzie Homer, and Trevor Baker. The Rivermen may be a little down, but the team is going about business as usual. Coach Granato is confident his team will be
ready for this weekend's games at Toledo and Huntington.
 The Rivermen are off until a Saturday date in Toledo. The next Rivermen home game is on Friday, October 29 against Louisiana.
Who Wants to Go?   The Rest of The Story The phone has been ringing all day, since the fax went out!  Rich Storm has been accused of yellow journalism after his story went out over the phone lines.
 What did he do?  He forgot to give the meaningful score.  He didn’t mention a goal by The Alien.  That is understandable.  You all have been warned that if you don’t come over to Henry’s and pour the writer a beer, your goals might be forgotten when the article is written.  That method doesn’t always work because if you pour too many beers, the article might be all fiction mixed with Duffer Virtual Reality when the author sobers up.  The only sure way to get your achievements into the Duffer News is to E-Mail your message to: lopatka@ix.netcom.com before Tuesday.
 Alien’s goal would have given the Blues a Meaningful tie.   Dill Deau made his first appearance since our Peoria trip last Easter.  That is a news worthy story right there because it is hard to come up with a headline that beats a Dill Deau line, but Dill was missing Tweedy set-ups all night long.  Then it happened Dill misfired on a pass from Tweedy and it slid harmlessly toward the Ghost, who was ready with his big stick on the ice.  Just when the puck was about to hit the bottom of the Ghost’s stick, Tweedy gave the knob a tug and the big paddle went up like a draw bridge and the puck went under it and crossed the goal line for a meaningful goal.  That Goal gave the Blues a 2-1 Meaningful win.
