I love how in other sports if anybody starts fighting the refs or umps run over and try to break up the fight immediately but in hockey the refs just kinda stand back and watch like they’re angry toddlers or something

I read an article a while ago and the guy was interviewing an NHL ref. He said something like “when two 6’2”, 220 pound, armored men decide they want to knock each others teeth out, and you’re standing there in pants and a t-shirt, there’s not a whole lot of motivation to jump in between them.“

It’s even worse in the minor leagues, at least up here in Canada. I was at a local hockey game some years ago where a couple of players threw down, and whoever was running the A/V booth turned down the house lights, threw a spotlight on the combatants, and started pumping the theme from Mortal Kombat over the PA.

can’t believe i was born a human with responsibilities instead of a cement particle in a statue of some forgotten yet heavily revered entity that ended up sunk in a river and evokes heavy but clouded emotion when it’s brought back up to the surface… feel like that would be a better match dot com for my personality
