Facing off against perennial rivals the Wyse Guys, the Aces once again hit the ice with their ‘compact’ lineup: 5 forwards and 3 defense, plus regular netminder Raj C between the pipes. The game was a high-paced one from start to finish, with the red shirts seemingly trying to wear the black shirts down by rolling 6 full lines of skaters plus 6 D. This tactic would prove to have little effect, however, as the Aces superior conditioning allowed them to easily keep pace with their numerous but doughy opponents.
In addition to their rigorous off-ice training regimen, the Aces also had an extra bit of inspiration up their sleeves: the recent demise of team spiritual guide and Dear Leader Kim Jong Il.
“The Dear Leader was watching over us” said team rice technologist Rich W “we definitely felt his divine presence, especially during the 3rd period when we were down one goal to the imperialist dogs of the Wyse Guys team”.
“In spite of the tears of sadness that filled our eyes,” added team surveillance expert Gerry S “we were able to avoid defeat at the hands of the hated enemy. Without the spiritual guidance of the Supreme Leader, this would not have been possible. If only he were alive to share in our great glory, this would be the most awesome Christmas ever. Even better than the year the wife gave me a Playstation 3.”
“I couldn’t make it to the game, I had a previous engagement” said team shrubbery inspector Paul F next day via shortwave radio “ honestly, I’m so sorry... please don’t send me to Pyongyang...”
The Black Aces are presently resting up for the 2012 stretch run to the playoffs and ultimate victory. Rumours that the team is developing a nuclear warhead are completely unfounded and are merely the musings of the left-wing blogging community and the Toronto Star.
