L. and I saw a great Pirates game last night as they shut out the Bruins. It started with an unlikely sight and wrapped up in true hockey form. It was a fun night to be a fan in the stands.

The Maine Suzuki youth orchestra piled on to the ice to play the National Anthem.

And they were good.

Then with less than two minutes left to play in the game, a big fight broke out and six players (three from each team) were tossed out of the game. It was a big melee and the crowd was on their feet the whole time -- and of course there were especially loud cheers at the waving exit.

It was a fast game and at one point a piece of plexiglass fell out after a hard hit on the boards. There were other fights during on the ice as well and the rowdy crowd was right into it all.

See more Seen Team videos from this season on YouTube. (We've got some other fans' videos on the list as well.)

L. was her chatty self in the stands with her Webkinz monkey CheeChee wearing a slightly too-small Pirates t-shirt (from her other game mascot).

"Pirates get a goal!"

"They don't get a goal."

She was also busy remaking the face of her balloon monkey because it didn't look enough like a girl. Apparently she needed eyelashes and a smiling mouth of teeth.

I also caught a shot of the Chuck-A-Puck clean-crew per Andrew's request of Seen Team last night (which was overdue -- sorry it took so long to catch up with you guys!).

I have to share this video L. and I found on YouTube, which we looked for after reading Mike Hoffman's blog entry. L. watched it several times because she couldn't stop laughing at the guy eating with his gloves on.

Go Pirates!
