Hockey Night


Well, that was fun!

Seriously, very, very fun. However there are things I'd like to share. My view of certain things hockey I'd like to see, or not see, during a game. Also, there was a fight 4 seconds into the game. I was giddy.

1. There is never a good time to play YMCA over the loud speaker. Because: A) Apparently not everyone knows how to do it right and end up spelling god knows what with their arms and B) It will get stuck in my head and I will involuntarily tap my foot to it.

2. It gets really cold in the coliseum, and somehow, the mention of anything Twilight makes certain people warm up and find it amusing... :|

3. There's a lotta pushing and banging and smacking around in hockey. I like it. Of course, it's perfectly okay to let the guys duke it out if they feel like fighting. However, it is NOT okay to beat each other with the hockey sticks.

4. Glass shatters when a puck goes through it. And it's awesome.

5. Clappers. Where do I begin? I have one now. And it, too, is awesome. Maybe I'll using during staff meetings...

6. There's a lot of random pauses during a hockey game. Also random? The music they play during said intervals. Someone's Ipod Shuffle must be reviewed next time he's in charge of music. It is NOT okay to play the Macarena right after Dropkick Murphys.

7. I swallow gum when I try to talk with it in my mouth.

8. Just because you can have long hair, it doesn't mean you don't look like Weird Al/Ben Franklin with a straightener and a jersey on.

9. The referees at hockey games are brave souls...or they get paid really good. I don't think its the latter. I was informed hockey personnel gets paid in cheeseburgers.

10. Hockey "super fans" and stalkers are oddly the same thing. I still say they were stalkers.

11. Is there really any reason to wear a suit to a hockey game? Yes, if you're the radio sports dude. I don't know why either, don't worry.

12. Only in Texas will they show a clip from the Blue Collar Comedy standup routine in between breaks...

13. I need to go to a hockey game again. Asap.

Half of me would like to explore more in depth the dynamics of such a night. But all shall remain in this above and certain things just for me. I'm happy.

P.S. Santa came early:

  1. HOOOOOOOOOOOOCKEY! Yer crazy! Did you know I'm an excellent ice skater? We have to learn that stuff in school, so even if I hadn't grown up next to an indoors ice rink I'd still know how. Oh my shameful confessions.
