“Vishnu! That you?”
“Yes, this is Vishnu.”
“Vish, it’s God. How’s it going, big blue?”
“Oh, hello mister God, everything is wonderful. Thank you for asking. Most excellent to be hearing from you, sir. What I can do for you?”
“You remember that hockey game I asked you to look in on last week? The Black Aces playoff game?”
“Yes yes, I remember. A quite excellent game as I recall, very exciting! Thank you for trusting me with it while you were on your fishing trip with mister Pope.”
“Yeah, well, you don’t know much about hockey do you, V-man?”
“Well to be fair it was the first game of ice hockey that I have witnessed, yes. But I certainly enjoyed it very greatly. Why do you ask, mister God sir?”
“My boy tells me you took your eyes off the game and he had to step in and do my will for me, that’s why. The game was in overtime and you were nowhere to be found. Overtime! How did it get to overtime, Vish? I thought you were taking care of my team.”
“Ah yes, now I am remembering. I was just stepping out to create and destroy some universes and when I am returning mister Jesus was looking over the game. He had a funny look on his face, not the nice one he is usually having.”
“That’s called anger, mixed with fear. Of God. He was angry with you for messing up the assignment and afraid of what I might do if this game didn’t go the way I ordered it. You feel me, blue man? Let me ask you something. How long does a hockey game last?”
“I am thinking it is 6 hours. Giving or taking.”
“6 hours?! Are you serious? No hockey game has ever lasted 6 hours, the players would all be dead! Are you sure you’re not getting it mixed up with another sport, say one that’s really popular in, I don’t know, India?”
“I am not sure what you are getting towards, mister God sir.”
“I think you know what I mean. Hard wooden ball, flat wooden bat, rules nobody can understand... very long games.”
“Ohhhh, right, yes, heh heh. I am thinking of the cricket. You are most correct mister God sir. Crick-et. A game of ice hockey does not last 6 hours then?”
“No. No a game of ice hockey does not last 6 hours then. If my son hadn’t stepped in when he did the Aces might have lost and you my friend would owe me big time. I had a side bet with the Pope on that game and let’s just say I now own half the Vatican.”
“I am most terribly sorry mister God sir. Please accept my apologies, and please accept a complimentary universe which I have just created for you. Perhaps you can store it at the Vatican.”
“All right then, no harm done. Look, I gotta go. Westboro Baptist Church is trying to stage another protest against Leonard Nimoy and I promised him I’d smite them. Say hi to Shiva for me.”

Game details
Aces 3, Battlers 2 (OT)
Mark: 2 goals
Joe D: 1 goal
A fast and hard fought game, but the right team came out on top in the end. Special thanks to John for handling goal duties while Kevin finished his pre-game beer in the dressing room. Really, a big game from everyone and a solid team effort.
Next game is the final, and the Black Aces are going for the cup for the 3rd year in row. Which they will win. God willing.
