Big Win

There aren't many bloodshot eyes this morning except for the 7 guys that played in the Canadian Goose Game last night. There was a late arrival by Finney that was the spark the team needed. The first period was shaky CG missed some chances and the World Gym goalie made some saves. Pinkie held his own through out the game and was happy with the poor shooting decisions made by World Gym. The second period ended with CG behind one goal. Studlee Budlee had a highlight reel goal which caused a range of emotions by the team. Studlee skated through 3 world gym players in the Goose zone in the crease. He then gained speed in the neutral zone and capped off his end to end rush by firing a wrist shot low stick side to tie the game at three.

Goose must have been pacing themselves for the flurry of action in the last 5 minutes of the game as they were losing 4-3. Nick tapped in a rebound to tie the game. Then a few seconds later Nick fed Finney for a backdoor tip in that game goose the lead. Finney got his hat trick with breakaway goal he scored five hole. Silent sealed the game with a goal he took off of the face off and shot high glove. Finney got the jacket for the hat trick and the picture shows him with a halo because we're trying to look over his 3 penalites.

The 7-4 win gave goose sole possession of 4th place. Goose looks to get another win in the team's finally regular season game ever on Sunday night at 9:20 against the Scorpions.

New Skates

The talk of the locker room was Chewie's new skates. He got the new T-Blade runners which caused his skating strides and turn to be very load on the ice. There were a few late arrivals who came from the Stanley club. The game was sloppy partly because the ice was very poor. The first and third periods were defensive battles. The second period was where the game was decided. The beached whalers jumped to a 5-2 lead in the second period. CG fought back to bring it to one goal. Goose peppered the Beached Whalers goalie in the third but could not get one past him. The game could have been tied with 2 minutes left in the game by IB Justin but he couldn't find the handle on a few chances. The Beached Whalers scored in the empty net at the buzzer to win the game 6-4. CG then headed to the Beer Bistro for more discussions about there pending demise. There was talk of Canadian Goose Memorial function in the Private Party Room at the Beer Bistro in which all team alumni would attend. Details will be following. The team looks to take the ice and build a head of steam when going into the playoff on Sunday night.

Good Times, Bad News

CG came to the rink on Friday night in a cloud of controversy. The future of the team is uncertain as they have been asked not to return in the fall. Silent was the man holding all the info and he was not able to make it until the end of the first period. So the discussion on the bench was mostly about the grave news and the future of the team. In between discussions the players found time to be a short handed Raw Thrills team. Pinkie played solid and the team jumped to a 3-1 lead in the first and coasted to a 5-3 win. Silent held a press conference in the locker room to give everyone the story. The team was devastated. The Gentle Giant commented after the game,"It just doesn't feel real". This was the feeling shared by the team who had be the B-League mainstay for the past 10 years. CG has made the playoffs for the past ten consecutive seasons. The team has been to the league championship game 4 times winning it 3 times. The team's impressive resume could not save it from its demise. Unless they can be saved at the zero hour by a miraculous change of heart by the league's brass.

The Jacket was not awarded because everyone's mind was else where.
