Time for Golf

Canadian Goose was knocked out of the playoff in the first round by the Stags with an 8-5 loss on Monday night. The game went back and forth with a plethora of ugly goals. But in the play-offs ugly goals are what win championships. CG fell 2 goals with in the first 5 minutes. It looked like it could be a long game but CG bounced back with three goals to take the lead. Silent lead off the CG scoring by tucking the feed from Captain Skids behind the goalie. 8 seconds later the Godfather deflected a pass from Mitchell into the top corner. The third goal went in off of Captain Skid's skate. But the Stags scored a back breaker with 1 second left in the first. CG seemed to bekilling penalties all game. The teams traded goals until the 9 minute mark in the third when the Stags pulled ahead by 2 with a shot the tricked under Pinkie. CG pulled the goalie put IB Matt on the point with 2 minutes left. They were on the power play but could not put anything past the Stags goalie. The Stags put the puck into the empty net to seal the game. The locker room was quietly filled with disbelief and shock. Chewie stated "I thought we had a good chance this year".

There is no rest for the CG front office this off season as CG is looking at bringing some new players in to try and inject some more scoring in the line up as well as fill the void of some leaving players. Stayed tuned for news of the new signings.
