Another shoot-out ... and a win!

We went to the Pirates game last night to take Seen Team pictures and enjoy the game. We also recorded some video so we could fulfill the request for a video clip of the the P-I-R-A-T-E-S chant from SVRA (or at least I think we did). I didn't have the best vantage point to record the guys but with kids in tow, you can only do so much moving around at a game.



L. helped me out with the pictures for Seen Team which I very much appreciated. It was a little tricky at the last game for me to manage the roll of stickers while taking pictures walking through the Civic Center stands. Well, and I chat with people too so it gets tricky to multi-task. Basically, I'm spoiled having L.'s help with Seen Team most of the time.

(BTW, we had several people ask us to take their pictures for Seen and we LOVED that so keep on asking when you see us -- we'll be at the April 1 game next).


G. had the video camera most of the time and we have several new video clips on MaineToday.com's YouTube channel. We caught a few of the shoot-out goals at the end (we caught 3 out of 4 before we had a memory card "full" message) and some goalie saves by Coleman. G. got a little carried away with the video and I'm still sifting through it all.

The game highlights for the girls included sitting a row away from a  marriage proposal from the scoreboard (she said yes); listening to "Sweet Caroline" between periods (we're still debating if it's good luck because it's not a "good hockey song"); meeting some fellow Girl Scouts (they were selling cookies in the lobby); and the team winning a home game that we attended (we hadn't been to a home game win since mid-December, which also went into a shoot-out).

On another note ...

I wanted to mention the "Pirate for a Day" poll that is underway. There are 3 Pirates fans hoping to win the contest and be a real Pirate for a day so take a minute to watch the videos and vote!
Vote for your favorite Pirates fan
