Zamboni the squatter talks to Shindigs about the Aces

[Thunder 782]

Another week has passed and Rico Zamboni is still squatting on the luxury super yacht owned by Vegas Captain Juan Ceson.  The classy ship was last seen in port at Barcelona, where Zamboni was first spotted.  The ship has since sailed and many wonder where its aimed at.

 

Rico Zamboni, the 84 year old ice resurfacer, recently parted ways with the Vegas Aces, and GM Shindigs, when he discovered the amenities on the “Juanita Ceson”.  Shindigs recently asked his star captain for some news on Zamboni’s whereabouts, but Ceson seemed unconcerned.   He admitted to receiving statements for the ship and has no issues with Zamboni spending money to enjoy the yacht.  Some of the recent bills Juan Ceson received include: several cases of Maine Lobster, premium Japanese Wagyu Beef, Poppy VanWinkle Bourbon, and street tacos.  From the list of groceries, it’s appeared to Ceson that Zamboni has plans hosting a party on the “Juanita” somewhere in the Atlantic.

 

When Ceson showed Shindigs one of the invoices, which happened to be a purchase of a state of the art satellite phone, Shindigs grabbed his phone and called the number listed on the purchase.  Rico Zamboni answered on the first ring only to discover it wasn’t the bombshells making arrangements to get on board the boat for the hot tub party.  “Oh hey, Shindigs, how goes it?  I heard you’re quite happy with the draft.”  Shindigs  filled him in on the status of the VHLM Las Vegas Aces.

 

Shindigs told Zamboni the Aces have the talent to go far in season 83, and will likely take home the trophy.  He proudly described his sniping forwards to be a group that will put in the goals and stats will be high this season.  With Blake MacTavish and Anton Bielas coming back and in the best shape their lives.  And with newcomers like, Dogwood Maple and James Kagelberg, Shindigs plans on a high scoring, dominating team.  Shindigs is just as pleased with his defense as team Captain Juan Ceson will be the role model for the younger defensemen and he expects some exciting moments on the ice, with Ceson coming out of training camp with a fierce attitude and new flame to lead the team to a championship.  Shindigs was not about to hang up without mentioning the goalies for the Aces, and said having both goalies to remain from the MubblesFubbles team, he is sure to stay in every game.  Travis Clark is at peak performance, and back up Corey Evans is doing just as well so he wanted to shout out to Mubbles for building two solid puck stoppers.

 

Everything was jovial until the name Hugh Johnson was brought up.  Shindigs threw out “F” bombs for about 10 minutes straight discussing how disappointed he was about the promising forward attached to the Aces.  When Shindigs finally stopped his rant, Zamboni offered a suggestion to Shindigs.  “You need to speak with Brian Payne and Jake Thunder, to light a fire under Johnson’s ass.”  Shindigs agreed, and wanted to reach out to Payne right away since it was Payne who vouched for Hugh Johnson.

 

Just before ending their conversation, Shindigs found a solution to his problem with Hugh Johnson.  “Hey Zamboni,” Shindigs started, “How about I give Hughie a break to spend a week with you on the luxury yacht you have taken over, and he gets all the fun, drink filled partying and philandering out of his system, because he is useless here.  Every night he’s going to clubs, drinking white claws, starting fights, causing commotion, and just out right acting like a juvenile.”  Zamboni was astonished by this request, “You want me to babysit him?”

 

Shindigs wasn’t surprised by Rico’s response and agreed that he would have to get Brian Payne, Johnson’s white claw drinking buddy, to help put Johnson back on track.

 

Zamboni looked over the bow of the yacht, a vision of splendor as he waits for the beautiful bombshells.  Yes, Zamboni is enjoying the last days of his life.

I’ve given up on Johnson @EMoney002

I mean he (Johnson) is slowly but surely keeping on building up that TPE. As much we all may wish he'd get as involved in the league as you two, he's still pulling his weight in Vegas and is set for a slightly bigger role on the team this season, and if he keeps on pace he will be a Vegas star by next season, most likely. Depends how long the season ends up being exactly, I guess. As he could possibly reach the E by then if there is a slight boost in earning.
