Annoying Loss

Canadian Goose headed to the rink on Saturday looking for thier first victory of the season. Their opponent, the Flyers, included the turncoat player of last season Kaspar and he was in net. But like ants at a picnic the Flyers annoyed CG into taking penalties . The amount of cheapshots and slashing that the Flyers did was reminiscent of the Charleston Chiefs vs. Saginaw Gears game immortalized in the movie Slapshot. Kaspar and Cheese tried matching each other in saves, but Cheese could not pitch the shut out like Kaspar did as Goose took its third loss of the new season. The team was visibly stunned after the loss not knowing what could have been done different in the game. There is another chance for CG to get thier first win on Sunday against Old and in the Way who is the other winless team in the league.

Slow Start

Canadian Goose took the ice against the FOP Stars knowing that it would be a hard fought game. It seems the FOP stars come out of the gate every winter season on fire. Saturday was no different. Even though CG ended the first period up 2 to 1. The pucks stopped going in the net in the second and third period and they ended up losing the game 8-4. Surprisingly there were no penalties the entire game, even with Joe the diver on the ice. IB Matt made the comment about Joe after the Game, "He's a good guy to have on your team, but a really pain to play against". Joe made the loss stink even more when net put a puck past Cheese with 30 seconds left in the game. Mitchell had a good game posting three goals. The saving grace for the CG team is that there are a lot of new faces and once everyone gets used to playing with each other the team should go on a winning streak. The next game for Canadian Goose is next Saturday at 10:00pm.

Promising Start

Canadian Goose (Beer Bistro B) took the ice against Raw Thrills Tuesday night after a brief Off-Season. Everyone came back healthy with smiles on thier faces. There were also a few new faces to the locker room along with some familiar faces returning. Pinkie was shaking off a cold but still got the start and made the save on the first shot he faced which was a huge step. Everyone was still getting there legs back as well as filling out thier IPI forms through the first period. CG came back in the second period to tie the game at 3. Then with 5 minutes left Raw Thrills put a slapshot off of the post to take the lead scoring one more and netting an empty net to win 6-3. Next game will bring about more new faces and hopefully a win as well as a familiar face in a different jersey, Joe.
