Welcome Back Cotter

"Silent where is Pinkie?". A question that is usually heard 10 minutes before game time in the Canadian Goose Locker room. Silent always says "He is on his way". Then some one calls Pinkie as he is walking into the locker room. Skipping warm ups didn't seem to bother Pinkie as he was flashing his glove and knocking puck out of the air. CG was in control the entire game but they could not put the goals in to seal the game. On two occasions Silent and Mickey scored goals less than 20 seconds apart which sealed the game leading Goose to a 7-2 win. IB Robbie and Silent combined for a great penalty kill that was an imitation of the Buffalo Sabres as they cycled the puck in the zone for 2 minutes missing multiple goals by inches. Joey got called for a "Dive" which is very rare in men's league hockey. IB Matt was forced to play defense again. His agile skating and ability to make a good outlet pass make him a very good defenseman and a great center when he gets the opportunity to play forward. Speakin of defense Chewie exploded with a offensive presence netting a goal and an assist. Mickey made his return after a long hiatus for the CG ranks. He started the scoring in the first period and contributed on all but one of the goals giving him 3 goals and 3 assists. He would have won the jacket had he went to the Beer Bistro. Pinkie was the innagural winner of the new Summer Jacket and wore it proudly at the bar even though he had left the puck bag at the rink. It was not if he was going to lose the puck bag it was when. It took 5 games the line was set at 2 games so the over wins.
