Alot to be thankful for

CG showed up to Johnny's for the late-late game on Monday night against Raw Thrills. Both teams had surprisingly full benches. In the spirit of the holidays CG decided that they would don different jerseys instead of the usual pullover argument that happens every time the two teams play. This should be the last time that pullover argument will be had because the new Beer Bistro Jerseys are coming in 2 weeks. The team came out with disciplined line changes, good communication and great passing in spite of the horrible ice conditions. It has been the best overall game the team has played in quite some time. IB Matt put aside contract stipulations that said he was not going to play D this season and played a solid game on the blue line. The scoring started with a tick-tack passing play that started at the CG goal line when Pinkie fired a pass to the other blue line where Rueben passed it to the Godfather who passed it over to Silent for the tip in goal. CG didn’t look back after that goal and skated to a 5-2 win moving them into 4^th place before the holiday break. Silent was awarded the Jacket after posting a Hat trick and an assist. Rueben and the Godfather had three assists as well. There was swagger to the CG team that hasn't been seen since smoke filled locker rooms and multiple fights were common. With about 4 minutes left the CG defense did a full sale change on the penalty kill, while IB Robbie floated a pass through the center of the defensive zone to a defensemen who was coming off the bench. CG showed such confidence that it didn't look like a crazy play. IB Robbie will discuss this further on his webpage since he and the other IB's were not available for an interview at the Stanley Club after that game.

We're going streaking!

CG won last Saturday in a game against a shorthanded Stag team. The Goose was backstopped by Pinkie who was the first winner of the new jacket and has won the jacket more than any other player. All the lines played well and the 7-4 win should have been much higher. There were many shots that went wide past empty nets. The Indiana Boys all put forth and impressive effort quickly rushing to another game once CG had the Stags on the ropes in the third period. It is that team oriented mentality that is going to help carry the Goose into the play-offs. Keeping in line with the streaks, Captain Skids made another appearance. His streaky underwear were the main feature in this production. After using the tighty-whiteys in the game Capitan skid proceeded to put them on his face streak first. Some team members were laughing, some were gagging and most were showering. Every appearance Capitan Skids makes inks its way into CG History .

A Win is a Win

The locker room was packed before CG's tout with the hated Boozehounds. CG was missing Cheese and not because they wanted him around but because they needed him to show up so that the team would not be fined for forfieting the game. Cheese showed up in time and was dressed so that Goose was not penalized . It turns out the Boozehounds goalie was nowhere to be found and they had to forfiet extending CG's undefeated streak to 3. The two teams played a freindly scrimmage that threatened to turn into an all out brawl at any moment. CG players got to take shots at Cheese during the scrimmage, IB Matt could not find his way past Cheese's glove( everyone else could). There was a new jacket in the locker room that was not awarded due to the fact that there was no official game. The old jacket was retired to the Godfather's House since he has been holding on to it for the past year and failed to mention it to anyone. There was talk of another team outing to be planned in the near future, stay tuned for details. (Hint: start saving up singles).

Afterward the team and IB Robbie and IB Travis went to the Beer Bistro for beers and some food during the team meeting. The team sat and enjoyed a pizza, some sliders, a couple beers and a few laughs while the other two guys from Indiana ate on there own. There was an unspoken message sent by the IB Crew. 33% of the IB Crew didn't even show up to the bar afterwards for the team meeting. Suspensions may be pending and fines will be issued accordingly.
