I have never been a big hockey fan, don't follow the sport (though I follow no sports), but I do enjoy immensly watching games. When I lived in Upstate NY I got to see quite a few games. Always a good time.
Then I moved to Kansas.
About, oh I dunno, 4 or 5 years ago, they got a minor minor leauge team set up there. The Topeka Scarecrows. It was a pretty big deal to Topekans. Then, during the opening game, first game for the brand spanking new team, packed house, after a single period it occured to everybody in attendence that the team absolutly sucked.
They still do suck, mind you, I mean like BAD, but I will say this. They are a joy to watch. Why? They have a great strategy. They know they can't handle the puck well, aren't great skaters, can't score for shit. But they are all really big mean guys with little or no teeth.
So what they do is when they get the puck, wherever they may be on the ice, they fire it down towards the corner of the other team's side. Then they practically sprint down to that end and knock the shit out of whatever unlucky fuck on the other team got a hold of the puck. Also, anybody who steals the puck from you, if you can catch them, punch them in the face as many times as possible. And, the best way to score is grab hold of the puck and then try to barrel past the goalie and get your physical person inside the net, at which point you drop the puck and claim a goal for yourself no matter what the fucking officials try and tell you.
They never win their games, mind you, but nothing like downing a shitload of beers and watching them try.
