Chasse the new Rat King? October 15-2009

After enduring a loss and a tie to begin the new season, Captain Andrew Carter of Team White is at a loss to explain the apathy of his squad.

"Sure we're missing Harp and Ashby back there, and maybe our forwards aren't up to speed yet but come on, when you don't have any pucks in the warm up - what the hell are we suppose to do?"

Seems Commissioner Chasse in yet another austerity move has cut back on the amount of pucks he lets "out of the bag" for the warm up.

"Yeah, so what's the problem?" was the answer from the defensive Chase. "Do they think these things grow on trees?* I bring out ten at the beginning of each season and that should be more than enough."

"Ten?" countered Carter "He brought out ten maybe two years ago, we're down to two aside now...and man you should see them its like a rat's been gnawing away at them..."

A rather defensive acting commissioner had this to say.

"There ain't no rats in my bag Carter! I run a clean operation. Are you calling this a rat? It's my chihuahua for Crisssakes! I feel guilty about leaving him at home on hockey night. Look at the poor little guy!

"Tell Carter to go back to biology class!"

"Why don't you check Carter's bag" offered Chasse "I bet you there's a whole "lotta rubba" in there."

Will Chasse's frugality cause an irreparable rift in the ranks of the White team? We'll have to wait to see how this one turns out.
