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.
