"There's a reason you're the smallest state in the union" heckled the 'bearded blowhard' as the fans exited the Smithfield Arena. The Pirates had laid the wood, check that, make that- the fiberglass on the Cranston Rhode Island Flames (6-0) in a lopsided affair. Our band of Bucs rang the bell for three scores in the opening period and continued with a furious assault on the beleaguered Flame goalie until the final horn sounded. Waves of Pirate attackers swarmed around the offensive end unchecked for a good portion of this contest. The siege easily could have resulted in a dozen goals. The 'Hooter' and the cheer leading bevy of beauties on the Pirate sideline had much to be proud of as Pirate Power was on full display. As the team exited the ice the 'boisterous blogger' reminded all, "I predicted this last night at the team party... a Shutout." Nana Lucy reminded the jubilant Pirate crowd of her equally accurate call: "Four beers in the Hooter by eight; asleep by ten."
