It's Just a Game...

I just came back from another one of my brother's hockey games (which they lost in overtime). The "chickenhocks" were going crazy tonight. Since I don't have much political stuff to write about right now, here's a selection of things that the parents yelled throughout the game. This may be another one of those "you had to be there" things, but I think they're kinda funny:

-"Go for the body! You're playin' like a pantywaist!"

-"THAT'S OFFSIDES, BIGNOSE! He can't see that side of the ice 'cause his nose is so big!" (talking to/about the referee)

-"Hey, Number 13! You couldn't skate when you were 12!"

-"PUT SOME PRESSURE ON 'EM! PUT SOME PRESSURE ON 'EM! PUT SOME PRESSURE ON 'EM! PUT SOME PRESSURE ON 'EM! PUT SOME PRESSURE ON 'EM! PUT SOME PRESSURE ON 'EM! PUT SOME PRESSURE ON 'EM!" (she said this at least 50 times over the course of the game)

-"LET'S GO MUSTANGS!" HONK! HONK! HONK HONK HONK! (he was blowing an airhorn instead of clapping)

-"Put your glove on or you'll break your hand! That's the first thing I'm gonna smack!"

...and, my personal favorite...

-"Get the puck! Skate with it!"

That's the entire point of the game. You don't have to tell them.

Like I said before, I played hockey a long time ago, and I know for a fact that the players don't hear any of the "advice" being shouted at them. It seems like kind of a waste of energy sometimes.
