So Ari's hockey team had a kids vs. parents game last night and I made the mistake of playing. I have never played ice hockey before (I played intramural floor hockey in college). I am paying for it dearly today. I got knocked down by a 12-year-old and I can barely lift my left arm today.
Got a Rake? Sure!

Hello,

Did you win?

The second time won't be nearly as bad.

We did, though with no help from me.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Dude that’s not like running around on a soccer field. That’s slipping around on a cold, slick, hard surface. Respect.

Yeah falling on the ice can be rough. I took my niece/nephew skating once. Well the place only had figure skates in my size and Ive only worn and used hockey skates. I was going along fine at a pretty good pace until the toe of one skate caught the ice and I just went down. I didn't lose control just went straight down hard. I was in pain for many days. Ice is unforgiving, and fuck those teeth toes on figure skates.

I went ice skating once. That was enough for me.

It is. And I was wearing no padding. I'm actually a decent skater, but that game is FAST.

Yeah I can skate well enough but those teeth really dig in and I had a lot of momentum and it still stopped me in my tracks.

For sure - figure skates are much harder to skate on for sure. That toe pick is a doozy. I actually ended up buying a pair of hockey skates myself last year - we were going to public skate at least once a week and not having to rent skates eventually paid for itself.

Not sure on the former, but definitely correct on the latter.
