Poor Us!?!

"No, Ray, I said 'POROUS' as in too many holes" commented the 'Hooter' at the conclusion of this evenings 3-3 tie at Sport-o-Rama. 'RJ' Krok was trying to ease 'Pop Tom's disappointment in tonights outcome by explaining that the Pearl River Pirates competed against one of the top Squirt teams in New Jersey. The Pirates had opened a 1-0 lead after one period but defensive lapses had them scrambling to tie the game at three midway through the third. The Pirates could not sustain an offensive attack at all and greatly benefitted from goalie miscues on two of their three goals. Dillon Krok assured his father and the grumpy geriatric that "tomorrow is our league championship game; we'll come out firing on all cylinders." Number 22 explained it thus to his bewildered elders: "Tonight, the two teams were virtually equal. The best in southern New York against the best in northern New Jersey. We're Pirates; they're Bandits. They nearly robbed the game from us, we just stole it back with that goal in the third period!"
