...lacerations. The speeding puck caught deGive with his tongue drooping out of his month and succeeded in nearly severing it. Several stitches were needed to restore deGive's tongue to its former glory, but it is expected that he will still be able to pep up the team with chatter in the games. The only difficulty is in swallowing, and he has been put on an egg-nogg diet. Fears that the injury would hamper his speech were unfounded...
