A day at the office

Its early 1990’s I’m playing division one hockey and I’m Bleeding from my nose, the drips of blood hit the ice and freeze instantly. I skate to the sin bin, along with my competitor and his swollen bleeding lip. There are cameras here following me so we have to put up with them for this post. Sorry I know they are annoying, I’ll be talking to the camera in this post a bit. I’m not ignoring you, I just don’t want to be rude .

The ref hollers “5 min for fighting”

So while I sit in the penalty box I have 5 min to explain myself here. All game this #14 is hacking our best players, slashed our star player on his wrist really bad , hacking my calves, telling me he’s going to kick my ass. Sorry, Hold on one second “ya ok try it buddy, I’m ready anytime you are !” So anyway, everyone always wants to fight the big guy. Makes them feel like they accomplished something I guess ? I dunno. Can you hear that ? Turn up yur mic. 14 is talking again! Now he says he’s going to kick my ass when we get outta here. Hold on “good luck buddy you don’t have a chance !” Why is it everyone wants to fight? Yes , that’s true there are scouts in the stands watching Good point camera man. Oh that’s the buzzer, I’ll be back after the second intermission, better yet come to the dressing room. No sense you waiting here. Come on . Hey play the clip of the other guy in the box, he was yelling and going crazy!

I gotta get Kleenex for my nose, Sorry about that, the yelling you hear in the back ground is the coach. He’s just upset, this #14 keeps slashing our star player and he’s had enough. Here comes the coach , just be quite don’t say a word. “I want you to kick his ass when we go back out there, send a message” ok coach I will. Now you see the trainer over there, the Coach will send the trainer over to put Vaseline on my face. So it looks like I gotta fight this guy , well he wants to fight me bad so I guess it will happen. Hockey is a game of skill and also intimidation. Some times the other team needs to know not to fuck, whoops sorry , can you beep that out or should I start over ? Oh ok good, not to screw with your team or your star . Oh that’s a very Good question, yes I have dual rolls on this team while I have 2 assist tonight I also fight, and I’m good at it. Ohhh See told ya here comes the trainer. He applies Vaseline so when I get punched his fist slips off and won’t split the skin as easily. Bet you didn’t know that fun fact. Well here we go time to start the third, I have to go across the ice but you’ll have to run around and get to the box that way. See you soon. You missed it, he’s already saying he’s going to kick my ass when we get out. Only 1 minute left and the fight is on. You’ll have to stay here but I’ll talk to you after and explain what happened. Turn the camera look at him , he’s banging the glass With his stick yelling and screaming saying how he’s gonna kick my ass. I’m out, Well gotta go this will be fun, see you soon

Follow me, I got kicked out I’ll explain in the dressing room.Did you see that ! I know you caught that on tape, please say you caught that on tape. Oh good I can’t wait to watch it . Crazy that’s never happened before. Ok Sure I can explain it in my own words..........

So as you seen I came out of the box, skated over to his box and stood outside and waited for him. He wouldn’t come out. I think he changed his mind. Well as you saw I made his mind up for the both of us. I opened the door to the penalty box and went in and I started throwing punches and so did he, We both fell and I continued to throw punches. See the Vaseline worked like a champ, I was punched in the face so much and not even a mark. The refs couldn’t break it up because they couldn’t get in. Basically the fight stopped when we decided, So I leaned into him and said never slash our team again. I dont know if he will listen or not. And then I opened the door and skated to the dressing room. Did you get the video ready can I watch it ? Sweet ok hit play, oh that looks bad. Oh my god, It looks like I just went in and beat him up for no reason. You heard him though, he was saying he wanted to kick my ass and he’s gonna kill me. That video looks like I’m crazy. Keep the tape, I might need evidence. What’s you name by the way, Oh hey Bob . Good to meet you , Ok Bob cut the camera I’m going to shower now.
