At a Loss for Words

CG came to the rink on Sunday energized after watching the Bears make it to the Super Bowl. The first period ended with Lincoln Station up 1-0. The second period is what put the game out of reach for CG, when they dropped 3 goals to put Lincoln Station's lead top 4-0. Studlee started the third period with and end to end rush ending the shut out and giving the Goose a glimmer of hope to pull out a win. This didn't happen andCG ended up losing 6-1. Mitchel did his talking on the ice, taking 4 very rough penalties. The Godfather was quiet because he was not there and has not been to a game since the new "Referee Jar"was implemented. And IB Robbie could not find the meaing of the word "smitten".

Lazy Sunday

CG gets its 8th win of the season by forfiet after the other teams goalie failed to show up. The team skated hard in the scrimmage.

Family Day Loss

The CG team was scrambling during warmups as players were still getting dressed. CG could not get squared away in the first period as the lines could not get set and along with a barrage of penalties they dropped three goals. Mickey was on the ice for a total of 13 seconds in the first when he took a cross check to the face and got into a fight which put him in the box for the rest of the period. He would later get into another fight in the 3rd as his knee was taken out. The gritty play of the speedy forward could not rally the troops , losing the game 6-2 to the Scorpions. The two goals that CG scored were highlight goals that consisted of amazing passes. Chewie got his first goal of the season on a nice pass from IB Robbie. Mickey fed Silent with a homerun pass which he slid past the goalie. Both goals came in the second period which has historically been the teams worst period. On Saturday it turned out to be its best period, the two goals in the second cut the Scorpions lead to 1 goal. But an early goal and another barrage of penalties in the third killed the Goose. Chewie gave the one finger salute as he was leaving the game late in the second only to be turned around and put in the box for a 10 minute misconduct.The Goose showed its "family day" fans what CG hockey was all about, 4 letter words. Fans discovered some new words which were as colorful as IB Fruity's(picture below) drink at the Beer Bistro after the game.

Late Night Win

CG arrived to the Late Friday night ready to start the New Years Celebrations. Three lines strong and ready for a win. Pinkie was skating as a forward as well as Studlee. The game started out looking like a real grudge match. Sticks were flying. Studlee was throwing hits. The Godfather was there to give pointers on how to score in the B league to IB Matt. IB Matt was listening because he fired one right under the crossbar in the first period followed by another ringer on the power play in the second. IB Matt was flying around the ice all game and seemed to be gripping his stick a little too tight trying to get his third goal and seal his bid for the jacket. IB Matt got the Hat Trick and the Jacket scoring into the empty net. CG had the lead and never looked back.
