Rosie's Capsule Game Summary
2018-10-29: Mighty Pirates 7 at Broke N Bad 1


Game Sheet

News Deck - The Howie Report
  • Andrew Budish is first to arrive at arena. 3 hours, 20 minutes before game time, according to witnesses.
  • Some early confusion with Broke N Bad (2-4-0) over uniform colour selection.
  • They tell us to go white. Then they come out in white. A portent of confusion and chaos on their part.
  • Game starts. Our first shot goes in. Our second shot goes in. Our third shot goes in.
  • Their goalie (although a large man) looks like he might be playing a different sport.
  • Before the game is 6 minutes old, we are up 4-1.
  • Suddenly everything changes.
  • The Broke N Bad goaltender suddenly becomes a reasonable facsimile of Gump Worsley.
  • But taller. Skinnier. Much less Caucasian.
  • Your heroes continue to skate hard. Check hard. Gasp for breath ... hard.
  • On the bench, we all imagine we are Doc M. Sager, supine on the beach in Cartagena - umbrella cocktail in our left hand, cocaine residue on our chest? We score 3 more.
  • Passes are short. Crisp.
  • Shifts are short. Defense rises above theory to become practice. Pirate Brand Hockey®™ is in evidence.
  • Game ends.
  • Lella (a standout all night long) wins silver balls of glory. Team repairs to local Kelsey’s.
  • 2 pitchers are ordered. Then a third.
  • Lella regales us with a recent business-trip story of robust Texas woman in velvet jumpsuit with plunging neckline, inebriated in bar.
  • Details suddenly become scarce. Story ends prematurely.
