pro hockey: the game that's never heard of sportsmanship.

i played field hockey in high school and really didn't like it. here's why:
-kilts: glorified skirts, and i don't do skirts.
-sportsmanship: highly overrated, and frankly, not for me.
-other than that, it was great, actually.

anyway, it's been many years since high school and i'd pretty much forgotten about hockey of all varieties until last night, when i went to my first NHL game. i loved it. first of all, what's better than a zamboni? second, because i'm so well-connected, we got to sit in the employee seating section, so we had an excellent view. third, for a misanthrope like me, it's really heartwarming to see all the fighting, and it's even better to hear a stadium full of people cheering for some guy to get his ass kicked.

last year at work, when a producer started choking a director during a live broadcast, he got fired. i say that's bullshit. let them go at it for a couple minutes and then the teleprompter can break it up. it's a healthy release of aggression, plus it's good tv. i think i'm going to try to incorporate more physical violence into my everyday life from now on - my job, school, pottery class...

in conclusion: hockey, i love you. go devils.
