May 22 Reg's Home For Wayward Boys

Game Three of the Conference Finals. Blackhawks vs. Red Wings. Hawks down two games to none. A must win. Where is the best place to watch the game. You might think at the United Center, but the best place to be is at Reg Dunlop's house. Why? Because of the food, drinks and friends. It wouldn't be a party without Reg grilling about 30 pounds of meat for the guys. The white cooler has soda, the blue cooler has beer and the Jack Daniels is on the counter. Everyone brings some kind of drink or food, so the kitchen counters and table are loaded with food. The TV in the living room has HDTV, the TV in the kitchen doesn't. This causes a little problem. It turns out that the HDTV feed is 5-10 seconds behind the standard feed. So the guys in the kitchen would be cheering a Hawks goal, ten seconds later the living room would see the goal and cheer. The group in the living room were complaining that the kitchen group were taking away all the suspense. The house was electric as the Hawks went up 3-0. It was incredibly tense as the Red Wings came back to tie the game. Then Patrick Sharp's game winning goal in OT had the kitchen going crazy. Ten seconds later, the living room went nuts. All of us hockey players are familiar with the Reg Dunlop Hockey Training Camps. As I looked around the room and saw 25 guys and only 3 women, I thought Reg might want to add "Home For Wayward Boys" to the sign out front. Just so you don't start thinking that Reg's place is like Neverland Ranch, I added a picture of Reg with his lady friend. That's Eric with Reg at the grill. The rest are the wayward boys and one brave girl.
