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 4th 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.
