Season 22 Update
The pep talk that turned the team around.
So, let me get this right.
- We are 0 and 4;
- We have given up twenty-six goals in four games;
- The team we’re playing tomorrow is in fifth place – but has scored 17 goals, won two games, and will likely kick the crap out of us;
- Woolley has been in on *every one* of our goals (!???!!) (all six of them);
These are dark days indeed…. We can only look forward to playing the Nighthawks, who are also 0-4, have also scored six (they seem to share the points), but have only given up 22 goals – better bring your “A” game Alex!! And they have close to twice as many penalty minutes as we do, so if they don’t beat us on the ice, they will beat us in the alley…..
Yikes. I think that at this point we should consider that the Coach/GM has the career life expectancy of Stephan Dion.
(Alex, maybe there is some relationship between our performance and that of the global markets).
This led to a 6-3 win against the Nighthawks (who were missing their leading scorer), and subsequent reassessment of whether or not we should be moved down a division in the league.
A follow-on message providing our Coach/GM with some guidance:
[As said (more or less) by] Sun Tzu ….. when your enemy is of superior strength……Evade Him – Translation – Relegate the Geeks to the next division …. Down. ;+ )
Nuff said. We’ll see where we end up.
