Just Puck It!

I attended my first hockey game yesterday. It was kind of a difficult decision. The NASCAR Las Vegas race was on television. Since we got the big screen, it's kind of hard for me to get away and I wanted to see "Rowdy" Busch win in his hometown. But, alas, I went to the hockey game. The local minor league team, The South Carolina Stingrays, was playing the Gwinnett Gladiators. Now, I don't know much about this sport, but if there are a bunch of guys flying around on ice skates with sticks chasing a flat ball, it would have to be fun. And it was. Them fellas really take that game seriously.. Fights break out all the time (I guess they are argueing about the little black thing.) as you can see in that picture in the upper left. I think that the object is for one team to put the flat rubber ball, also called a puck, whose name is no doubt in the Shakespearian tradition in a basket at one end of the frozen floor without suffering extreme bodily harm. The team that does this the most is the winner. Without getting kilt, of course.
