The
Coastal Pirates faced the “A” division Red Stars to finish off
the regular season. The Pirates had a short bench due to injuries and only
had seven skaters total (Scott LeMatty and Jimmy Ferraro joined Sunday night
crew). The Pirates hung tough, staying within a goal for most of the game.
Scooby and Wildman scored and at for a 30 minutes the Pirates actually held
a 2-1 lead. The whole team played a great defensive effort, fighting wave
after wave of Communist Red Star attacks. Even though they were visibly
exhausted, the Pirates continued to backcheck — even after Jimmy (one
of our guest subs) got thrown out after his third penalty. Harris stood
on his head, stopping multiple rebounds and many 2-on-1 and 3-on-1 attacks.
In the end, we got run over by a tank with a Red Star on the Side, but our
peaceful struggle will win out in the end.
In documenting our “Battle Against the Red Stars”
I brought in some Experts in the field of bringing down Communism.
Vaclav Havel: “Modern
man must descend the spiral of his own absurdity to the lowest point; only
then can he look beyond it. It is obviously impossible to get around it,
jump over it, or simply clear the puck along the boards.”
Lech Walesa: “The
supply of words in the world market is plentiful but the demand is falling.
Let deeds follow words now, Wingers stay on the points!”
