You. C’mere. I’ve got a bone to pick with you, and a right hook to land on your jaw. You are the guy that thinks a novice ice hockey league is a perfect venue to physically beat the crap out of people and get away with it, Scot free.
You see, I play in a Wednesday night hockey league for novices. We have 50 or 60 people organized into four teams, and get together to play simple, fun hockey. We’ve got new folk, who just laced up their skates for the first time ever. We’ve got old timers, who’ve been playing for 20+ years, coached at least half of that, but always ‘play down’ to our level to keep it challenging, but not too tough. We’ve got 15 year old kids, and a 72 year old grandpa who gets out because he “likes the cold air in my lungs!”. We’re an “NHL for Newbies”, and everything is hunky-dory.
Until you show up. And it’s specifically two of you right now:
#15 - 6’0", and blimping out at 250. A rare find, being that the guy is a high school teacher, but likes to beat up on the kids in our league. What, do you have something to prove? Do you not get enough respect in the classroom that you have to “teach these kids a lesson” on the ice? Tell ya what, you fat fuck of a blimp, next time you look crosseyed at one of the kids, I’m going to floor you.
#22 - 6’4", around 200 or so. You played last year, and seem to like to fight. Well, fuck you. Fuck you running sideways. You like to think you’re McSorely and everyone else is your Brashear. You even fight your own teammates, just to make yourself seem like a badass. Why, just tonight, you thought it was funny to cross-check me into a second player, and bring us both down. You know explicitly that it is a non-checking league. While inadvertent contact does happen, it usually doesn’t take the form of a single hand shove upside the head, or a whack with the heel of your stick to the backside of an old guy’s knee. . .
I’m not saying that everyone has to get together after every game around the Zamboni and sing ‘Kum Ba Ya’, but when you asshats make it your own personal stomping ground, I get a little upset. I swear, I’m going to take that puck and shove it up some new pipes.
'Specially when you beat up on kids. :mad:
Tripler
I’m going to be your Joey Kocur.
