Tough game for the Pirates

I believe it was by Rodney Dangerfield who said,  "I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out." Well, last night's Pirates game had more fights than usual as the team lost without scoring a single goal.

It was a bummer of a game and even though I managed to catch pieces of some - not all - of the fights on video, I always cringe when they happen. And the girls shrink down in their seats and half close their eyes until it's over.

G. was really sad about the team not playing well and suggested that the coaches, "weren't teaching the player right."  I told her that was very unlikely as sometimes a team just has an off night.

Then during the middle of the third period, G. said we should leave the game early because they weren't going to win (the other team had just scored their 5th goal and the Pirates still had none). I reminded her that we were not fair-weather fans and that sometimes we were going to go to games when the team didn't win. G., bless her worry-type personality, was simply having a hard time watching the team lose.

L. didn't like that the team was losing either and decided that they'd win the next game. And in typical fashion, decided that they were losing because, "we need a good luck charm. Grandpa has to come to the next game so they will win." When in doubt, L. always resorts to some random superstitions  to help her favorite team.

We took a bunch of Seen Team photos at the game and this was L.'s favorite.

And L. decided to bring along her doll. Is there little wonder why her doll has hair problems? She is  always  messing with her hair.


As a matter of fact, the doll's hair even did the YMCA. L. thought she was being hysterically funny coming up with this one.



And not only the doll's hair can dance.
