Spirit - PR

Spirit “unaware” playoffs began, says GM.

The Spirit fell behind early in their series against the Chepstow Aces in yesterday’s game, held in Guelph, as they were shellacked 9-1. A summary of the game is basically useless, as everyone on the Aces did very, very well, and everyone on the Spirit stunk.

“Here’s what happened,” explained GM Goodlet. “This Dave Walter waltzes into the league and inherits a team full of awesome players that had been underperforming due to poor management. Making moves that even a stupid chimpazee could figure out, his team suddenly “gets better”. Then, suspiciously, a free 24 of beer arrives on my doorstep Saturday morning. The next thing I remember, it’s time to go to work on Monday, and I find out the playoffs started yesterday!”

Rumours continue to swirl that Goodlet, in a drunken stupor, ordered the local Timbits hockey team to take the ice against the Aces, because “he thought it would be funny.” Goodlet maintains that Walter somehow broke into his house, stole some of his DNA, cloned him, and forced that clone to issue the Timbits order. Police have so far refused comment.

“We’ll be ready to go today” avowed Goodlet. “I mean, we managed to hold them to 9 goals and even scored one yesterday, and we iced a team of six-year olds.”

The Spirit, lacking top centre Radek Bonk, will look to even the series today.
