Watching the Bucs...

Saturday night, Linda and I went to see the Bucs take on the Lincoln Stars. The game was better than the final score 5-1 would indicate. The Stars were fiesty and challenged the Bucs all the way along. As the minutes wound down, they even pulled their goalie in a last dietch attempt to put more attackers on the ice. When the Bucs scored, they resigned themselves and played out the closing seconds.

Along they way, the crowd was also very entertaining. The woman in the upper left frame was very vocal when there were calls demanding audiance comment... and there were a few. The two boys and father in the row ahead of us addressed the need for more cowbell ... and air horns! After a particularly nice save by the Bucs goalie, the boys in the lower right paid homage with their form of "We're not worthy!" It was even apparently Sorority night at the Bucs as much of one section was filled with young women with big greek letters on their sweatshirts. I'm guessing it was part of a cultural exploration; they weren't fully up to speed on the audience participation but did show improvement over the course of the evening.
