Why is it sad that everyone thought it was firecrackers? The sad thing would be to live in a world where every time someone hears a loud bang they assume they are under terrorist attack.

So, so, so glad she still sounds like Missy and didn’t just try to borrow the sound of rap today.

Uncle: I can’t believe he said that.

“Pass? Just get the fucking rebound.”

What does his wife being Sicilian have anything to do with her not being there?

UPDATE: Kerry’s down from the tree.

No. There is no “acceptable reason” for a grown-ass adult to grab a puck clearly meant for a child. YOU are a piece of shit.

Fan: Hey Roger, show us a cool trick you can do with a racket!

Or you can use it as a teaching moment for your daughter. Something like: “You know, my first instinct was to put the puck in my pocket and bring it home to you. But I saw that little guy standing there and decided to be generous and kind to him, even though he isn’t my child.”

...or just buy a puck (new or used) from the arena store and make up a story.

Good on you for being willing to self-identify as a piece of shit.

But fair warning: you should expect (and would deserve) getting straight fucking served by crushed-dream kid’s dad.

That still makes you a jerk unless your kid is dying of a terminal illness in which case you shouldn’t be carousing at a hockey game, you should be contacting Make-A-Wish. If some other kid is physically there, cheering, caught up in the moment, it’s his or hers. To use your size and strategy as a grown adult just so…

There is no acceptable reason. That puck was thrown to the kid. Anyone snatching that away is a thief, no matter what the reasons. Shame on him.

Go ahead and crush that kid’s dream. And when your daughter sees on TV what you did, crush hers too. She’ll never look at you the same again.

Then kindly go fuck yourself asshole.

Yeah, but you’re garbage, so...

Thank you for providing a reason for me to tell the story of the most insane fucking thing I have ever had to do working security for NHL games.

An update for you, as a Pens writer myself- thus far the little guy, Trey, has gotten 2 pucks, a jersey, a stick, and last I saw was with the teams’ PR staff, apparently to head into the locker-room with them to meet the players from what I gathered. While the old guy was booed out of the arena right afterward and…

“a Colorado Rockies hockey game”

Are you sure that puck didn’t hit you in the head?

Yep, sorry friend. You’re also not allowed to go play in the McDonald’s PlayPlace even if your mother always refused to take you when you were little.
