Pillage and Pummel

"Yeah it was a Stampede alright...the entire second period toward the Center State net" smirked the 'Hooter.' The Pirates came out smoking, dominating most of the first period but still only skated off the ice with a 1-0 lead. The lads swarmed a beleaguered Stampede net in the middle session netting six goals to enter the final period with an insurmountable 7-1 advantage. The Hooter had plenty to howl about with Luke Myers getting a hat trick and Anthony Margiotta and Liam McCullough both notching two goals apiece. CJ Greco netted the other score. Although the Pirate offense was very potent, equally strong play from their defensive stalwarts stymied attack after attack assuring a likely Pirate victory midway through the contest. The Hooter received in-game counseling and redirection from Mark Myers so as not to have any rabbit-eared referee interpret Hooter's "Luuuuuuuuuke" as a boo. Sandy Margiotta remained near the Hooter at all times with therapeutic dosage of prescription Valium in her purse should need arise. Dr. Michelle Greco said "Psychotropics, no problem - Steve needs them regularly." Kelly Ocasal's promise of a post game hot chocolate and oreos did the most to get the 'grumpy geriatric' through the entire game without ejection.
