The Airing of grievances

The Godather was keeping his new "bad" image before the game on Saturday by yelling about the poor punctuality of the starting goalie, Pinkie. Pinkie got to the rink and was able to take a few shots in warm-ups. The Flyers, playing a very inspired game, were too much for CG on Saturday night jumping out to a 3 goal lead. The stick work increased and tempers flared. But CG could not come back and lost the game, ending their 6 game undefeated streak. The usual highjinks that surround the Festivus celebration were no where to be found, partly because Captain Skids was not in attendance. Company holiday parties damped the evenings festivities at the Beer Bistro, but a good time was had by all who went there after the game.

A few players headed to a house party later that night that turned out to be the Pinkie Show. From Pinkie's ride in the trunk to the party, everyone new the night was going to be interesting. Using props, dumping beers on people and getting into a slap match were just some of the bits Pinkie performed. Pinkie had trouble finding some pucks during the game but he had an uncanny ability for find people used chewing gum on the ground. CG has a layoff for the holidays returning to the ice December 29th for a late night Friday game.

The Streak continues

CG took the ice on a cold Wednesday night against the FOP Stars. The cops were short handed with 6 skaters but with the poor ice conditions the teams were fairly evenly matched. The referees were definately partial to Chicago's finest allowing them to take liberties that CG was not. The team traded goals through out the game. The FOP stars had the lead for most of the game until the end of the second period when Goose took the lead. Silent took a penalty with 30 seconds left in the game which allowed the cops to tie the game and send it to a shoot out where Cheese made the saves he needed to give CG the win to keep the winning streak going. IB Matt and Mickey fired shots past the goalie in the shoot-out along with the Godfather scoring a goal that was disallowed by the referee. The IB Bald line was firing on all cylinders scoring 4 of the 5 goals for CG. The Godfather got the jacket after finishing 3 goalssetup by beautiful passes from IB Matt and Reuben for the hat trick. The Goose take the ice next Saturday against the Flyers for the always entertaining Festivus game on December 17th.
