HOCKEY - Come Crash the Boards

[Buckey]

ok I have to tell my Bird dog story. At a gentlemens gathering of mostly NHL and Minor league Hockey players to celebrate one of the guys upcoming nuptuals we were gathering in the adjoining hotel rooms and someone asked Bird dog how much pay does he lose to suspensions and his were normally "slap shot" style ones. His response was " ah they just take you in and write an amendment to your contract that you get a bonus equivalent to your lost wages the next time you score a goal"

Given that he only had 4 goals in his career I quipped quickly "Well - what do they do for you?": He pretended to be mad and he was going to mess me up at some point that night. He might of been legendary on the ice but he was just a normal good guy. IF memory serves me correctly the night ended watching a fight VHS some local TV station had made for him - of all his fights LOL
