Yeah cause hockey players are putting their lives on the line everyday for our freedoms.
I'll give a brief anecdote from my own personal "hockey experience" to make my point . . .
JOE: "Hey [Alberta's Child], you gotta lay off the other players on this team. Nobody likes to hear you yapping about how to play the game, who needs to get better, and all that nonsense."
ME: "Hey, don't shoot the messenger, man . . . I'm just telling y'all what's wrong with this team."
JOE: "Look, dude . . . this was a close group of guys on this team, and we don't need that sh!t from you. I talked to that guy Mark who played on your last team, and he warned me that you were a complete @sshole and we wouldn't want you around here after the first month of the season. I think he was right."
ME: "Did Mark also tell you about the three trophies he has sitting on his mantle at home? He likes to complain about me all over this league, but he conveniently forgets what it took to get those trophies. 'Cause I'll tell you something right now, pal . . . that team Mark and I played on won three championships in five seasons -- after guys like Mark stopped whining about me being a hard-@ss, and who learned to shut the f#%& up and do what needed to be done to win. It's funny to have a bunch of guys here tell me I'm an @sshole because they don't like what I have to say -- especially since this team hasn't had a winning season in seven years."
