BUBBLES THE UNDERCOVER MEXICAN

If one uses Google translate to Englishify an article from RDS.com, Bouillon’s name is magically transferred to Bubbles. They must have used a similar process to change Bubbles in to a Mexican on the ice yesterday. I knew there was something fishy about him all along! Something about the way he wore his sombrero, but I can't quite put my finger on it. If you ask me Bubbles is a home boy, and he's as French-Canadian as the Enchiladas he chases with the super-sized Churros. But beware all...heed my word. The office de la langue Français won't let this one slide so easily. After giving the team a series of "Dictés", they'll challenge why Bubble's coach and team-mates decided to denationalise one of the few Quebec born players on a team where local boys are already a rare and endangered species. Funny right? You think I'm kidding? Just wait for the headlines in a few days. After having witnessed the honourable Office de la langue Français pursue and shut down a pet store in the West Island, because the parrot out front knew only English words, anything is possible.

The team's recent schedule including the North American team vs. the Internationals team (which included the poor brainwashed and infidel Bubbles) scrimmage, the team thanks giving dinner, and other team building activities are proof once more that the camaraderie in the locker room is strong and continues to improve. This theme of team spirit I keep coming back to is the key to our success. A well balanced team needs everyone to do their job, work together, and look out for the other guys on the ice, and having team spirit gives the players the right mental attitude to help accomplish this straight forward, but difficult task.

Given the team's current state, I expect nothing less than 4/4 points in the next 24ish hours. I just hope Bubbles can deal with his current identity crisis. Otherwise we'll all be asking for refunds on #51 Jerseys, or changing their names to Sanches.
