It's Saturday afternoon, my gorgeous wife and I are doing what we love, lounging on the couch in our PJs and watching TV. Better yet, as a Canadian, a hockey game is in and I'm happy.
Our favorite team, the Vancouver Canucks, are playing the pride of the Botox filled faces of Hollyweird, the L.A. Kings. The Sedins are passing like the telekinetic twins they are, bodies are being thrown around, and we are winning 1-0 from a breakaway goal by Robin Scherbatsky's favorite player, Mason Raymond.
Then it starts... BANG! BANG! BANG!... Everyone's favorite person, the guy who bangs on the glass behind the nets, in order to say "Hey, look at me, I'm banging on this glass to distract you cause I truly believe this will work somehow, cause it never works, but this time it will, then I will be a hero and people will like me, cause I'm so lonely."
I hate these people, they are so damned annoying. Why do they do this? Do they realize how much it makes people want to hurt them? They are just as bad as the people in the nosebleed sections screaming at the top of their lungs, trying to tell the players what to do, thinking they can hear every word they can say in an open building with a multi-million dollar sound system, oh yeah, and 20,000 other screaming fans... Just sit down and shut up you idiot!
This happens at every hockey game, i know this, i accept it, but i don't like it. But this game was particularly bad, to the point that something happened that I have never seen or heard before; The Sportsnet TV announcer, John Shorthouse, stopped and declared "the people that hit the glass behind the nets are one of the most annoying things ever"
You know it's bad, when people who hear this noise everyday as part of their careers, can get so annoyed that they have to mention it on National broadcast television and Radio.
On a side note, I feel like the arena security staff across the nation need to do a better job at stopping this. They all have security standing down at the glass, how hard is it for them to say "Excuse me sir, can you please stop hitting the glass?" Then threaten to kick them out if they persist.
So to all the hockey glass bangers out there... STOP! Just plain Stop! Nobody likes you and you are an offensive human being. That glass is there for your safety, not your amusement. Next time you bang on it, I hope it falls out and bangs you back in the face breaking your nose! This might be a harsh punishment, but when people have to listen to it for 3 straight hours, I think it's fitting.
lol. my mom has banged on the glass at a bchl game. it was hilarious..........
