Pirates bid adieu to 2008 with a victory

Portland, ME The power play came through for the Portland Pirates when they needed it most to end 2008 on a positive note with a 2-1 win over the Norfolk Admirals in front of a near sell-out crowd of 6,374 at the Cumberland County Civic Center on Wednesday evening.

 

At 14:09 of the second period, with the Admirals up 1-0, Portland tied the game on a Mark Mancaris 13th goal of the season.

 

Going into the game, the Pirates were 4-for-48 with the man advantage, as its become a point of concern for the coaching staff of the Pirates.

 

"It's pretty obvious that its a big issue for us right now, said Pirates head coach Kevin Dineen. The power play goal wasn't a thing of beauty or a set play, but a lot of effort that made the difference."
