Canadian Goose was lined up to play their bitter rivals the Boozehounds on Sunday afternoon, the only problem was that the bench was short stacked. But with minutes to game time a stream of player filed in. Some of the new players got a quick taste of why the Boozehounds are such a hated foe. The amount of stick work rivaled that of a Lacrosse game, yet the referees were reluctant to call any penalties. The game plan of the Boozehounds was to run the crease as much as possible which caused two disallowed goals. One disallowed goal one of the Boozehounds was sitting on Pinkie and on the second disallowed goal Pinkie got an elbow which knocked his mask off. both goals were protested vehemently by the Boozehounds which leaves one to ask the question, "Who runs goalies in men's league games?". Chewie summed it up after the game by stated that it is a classless move to run a goalie. He said that with a stream of blood running down his face from a cut on his eyebrow. There should have been at least a 4 minute high sticking call, but there was no penalty called at all. CG tried to retain their composure in spite of the sear volume of dirty, classless play that Boozehounds brought to the game. CG ended up losing 5-2.
After the game some players headed to the Beer Bistro to meet and greet some of the many fans that Canadian Goose has picked up over the years. In fact these fans had not actually made it to the game but the CG players still showed these ladies a good time.
Captain Skids, although not at the game, left his calling card outside of the rink to let the team know that his thoughts were with the team. See pictures below.
