8W, no. 10; newsletter by b.n.)
The lights went out on the Coastal Pirate season this past Wednesday. Both
literally & figuratively. But before they could the Pirates were able
to take advantage of their new goalie Steve Tommy Sal O. For
a team that played the week before with two goalies, all they could scrounge
up was their Captain who had never stepped between the pipes before. The
Gerrys jumped out to the 10 lead. Then #67 picked up a loose puck
in our zone & pushed it up to BB who skated it all the way for the score.
Then Tommy Salo misplayed a loose puck in front of his own net and #67 was
there to slam the "gimmie" home. (Even Depip would have saved
that puck). Then Russ grabbed a loose puck and fired from the blueline for
the score. A final tally came when #67 took the puck off the faceoff and
fed Scott Miller for the score.
The Gerrys managed one more tally when Harris (thinking he was in the Olympics
and trying to make the breakout pass) came out to the blue tried an ill-fated
pass up the middle which was picked up by Gerry ruffian Bill Notley who
easily threw it in the net before Harris could get himself back in the net.
Then with about 9:00 minutes to go the lights went out. We waited hour for
them to warm up again. Just as we were ready to go back on, they went out
again.
