I don't know what's more embarrassing:
Playing three games against “A” opponents and only scoring one goal or playing the “B”-division Geriatrics and leading only 2-1 at the first intermission.
Keep in mind that the Geriatrics were missing their No.1 sniper (and Coastal Pirate nemesis) Seth.
Having trouble deciding? Well read on ...
As mentioned above, the Coastal Pirates doubled their offensive output for the season in the 1st period on goals by Gucci (on a rare pass from Brooks) and Evan (who buried a puck on a shot from LeMatty). The Pirates continued their offensive breakout in the final period on goals by Chris (who buried a rebound on a shot from the left wing by Brooks) and Wildman (who demonstrated that he has a better knuckleball then Tim Wakefield) when he beat the goalie on a feed from LeMatty.
All in all, it was a somewhat unsatisfying win considering the circumstances — no offense to Harris who made some stellar saves. But hey, we will take it. And much as it was last week, the race to the Rocket Richard Trophy is still anybody's to win, as five players are now tied with one goal a piece!
So did you decide what was most embarrassing?
The final score was 4-1 Pirates, but I forgot to mention that the Coastal Pirates were skating with a full ten-man roster while the Geriatrics had only five.
Now what do you think?
(Just a hint for Wildman: it's a rhetorical question!)
