The Curse of the Jacket

CG was short stacked before the late Saturday night game against the Boozehounds. Cg could not find there rhythm in the game. The team played a step behind and played catch up the entire game. There was a running clock in the third period and the team was happy to get off the ice early. IB Robbie had chances but could not find the back of the net. He has been slumping since being awarded the Jacket. Mickey and IB Robbie are now on the list of people who will not be awarded the Jacket due to the jinx it causes in some players, thus adding to the legacy of the Jacket.

After the game the team headed to the Beer Bistro to have a few drinks with fans which leads to this weeks blind item.

A player celebrated scoring the game winning goal by answering the same 5 questions asked of him by one particularly drunk admirer. He then proceeded to play with a chihuahua and a cougar early into the morning. He had more fun with the cougar but the chihuahua did watch.

Another player celebrated the "win" with a fan as well. Details of that player's adventure were not available at press time.

The Streak Ends

Canadian Goose was buzzing in the locker room because they we set to play against Cheese, thier former goalie who the team lost due to free agency. The game started as most games start against the Flyers, chippy. There were sticks swinging, cross checks and alot of whining. CG fell into the trap by taking alot of penalties in the first half of the game. The Flyers surged ahead with a hot power play and even more whining. But CG powered back to tie the game at three, then the teams traded goals and slashes in the third. But the Goose could not prevail loosing the game 5-4, ending their four game winning streak.

Get out of the way

Silent tried to jinx the team in locker room before CG's game against the second place Old & in the way stating that CG can move into 2nd place with a win. Capitan Skids followed that with the word "Shutout". The team was looking for one player to show up in the zero hour to make the line match-ups work. That man was IB Matt who came straight from work to add a second centerman and complete all the lines. The game started a little sluggish with both teams feeling each other out. CG was down 2-1 when Studlee Budlee decided to sit on a horse shoe. He netted two goals one which was a centering pass that found its way into the net and the second that found him standing in the crease with the goalie diving the opposite way so he tapped it in to give CG the 3-2 lead which they never looked back on. He got his hat trick with another goal in the third period scored 1 on 1 in the crease. Then CG proceeded to coast to a 6-3 victory putting them into a tie for second place. The defensive core played solid in front of Pinkie who made his usual flashes of brilliance with some garbage in between. Jimmy put in his usual solid defensive play on the blue along with Chadwick and Chewie. After the game Capitan Skids did his Peter Griffin impression and found 6 cents in the locker room stalls. The Jacket was not awarded to Studlee Budlee as IB Robbie, the current holder, was not in attendance. Cg looks to next Wednesday when they take on the Flyers with some familiar faces on the wrong side of center.

Early in Early out

There were 4 players in the locker room 10 minutes before the Canadian Goose was to take on the Scorpions on Sunday afternoon. Then Pinkie arrived and so did the IB Crew. The locker room was not very active before the game as most people's heads were in the clouds from a long Saturday night. Pinkie stood on his head through out the game. CG dominated the game with a few mental lapses that the Scorpions capitalized on. The game was close the first two periods as the teams traded goals. IB matt had two goals heading into the third period and was looks for the jacket. He got his hat trick and and added a helper in the third period as CG scored 4 goals to win the game 7-5. Mickey made up for his door slamming 10 minute misconduct by scoring an empty netter from the circles in the defensive zone. IB Robbie was given the jacket for his game winning laser slapshot off the post in the third. IB Matt did not go to the Beer Bistro after the game otherwise he would have won the jacket. IB Robbie celebrated his jacket win by getting yelled at by the server at the bistro for ordering food before ordering drinks.

Groundskeeper Pinkie?

Here's Pinkie imitating Johnny Walker



Yes that is a pink golf ball.




Sliced perfectly into the water hazard.

Now you know where he got his nick name from. Talk about talking a joke way past it useful life.

Godfather: The Hero

The Godfather saved a fellow citizen from a mugging recently. He embodied the Canadian Goose spirit and helped some one in need. Just like CG helps a fallen goalie on the opposing team. click on the picture for an enlarged view. Its not the best copy from the Beverly Journal, but you get the point.

Sunday Bloody Sunday

CG took the ice against World Gym, a new team to the league. The team welcomed the Gentle Giant back to the ice. The Gentle Giant brought good news of the Godfather's adventure and bad new for the other teams forwards. The two teams traded goals the first two periods, which left the CG team down by one goal in the third. Mickey took the team on his back getting his hat trick and scoring half the teams goals in the third period. There was one penalty as the referee's said they were going to hide their whistles. A few tussles broke out after the whistle which were just enough to leave a sour taste in the mouths of World Gym.
