Maybe, a bit. I started playing in a 17-year-old division (15/16/17) when I was 13, played a few men's league tournament games at 15, and you get guys who (rightfully so) don't give you any leeway. So at times, I would feel I had to prove myself, which was a-okay with me.

I can't get parents yelling at kids in general. Coaches, refs, etc. are one thing, but these are just kids. Like I said, I had some parents yell at me for destroying one of their kids (it was borderline clean, I'll admit), so I fired a puck at their face. This was roller hockey, so there was no glass separating the rink. Shame my slapper was incredibly slow.

In the same instance, my one friend (the one who was chased by the Puerto Rican) was getting his ass handed to him one time, and his black belt karate mom jumped in to pull them apart. It was incredibly embarassing for the entire team.

I was a basketball player and I was never much of a talker. I was pretty calculated with cheap shots though. An elbow when the ref wasn't looking or a hard foul that made a point but didn't cross the line was my kind of thing.

Yes! You and me both

I'd crosscheck the ribs down in the corner fighting for pucks, or you know what else hurts like a mother(frank)er? A downward angled crosscheck to the top of the elbow, like where your triceps and elbow meet.

Nice.

I wasn't an idiot though. I always knew I more or less had a target. I'd protect myself. I was a good skater too, so that always helped.

I know there are some things you can't protect against though. I get really (frank)ed up a few times. Everyone does

Absolutely. You actually remind me of the way I played. I was pretty good, but I yapped like crazy. The thing was, I'd draw the penalties early in the game, and then if I felt retaliation was needed, I'd make my statement later in the game. But there were a few times when I stepped past the line a bit too much and paid for it.

Like who? A black belt mother of a teammate and a 320-pound kickboxer encapsulates all people I knew through hockey for 15 years?

Fantastic. Don't you have some stores to go loot and some cop cars to light on fire? Or is that too "bad ass" for you?

I wish. An army of private engineers would probably be very handy for equipment refinement.

Since he thinks all the looting and fire starting is done by blacks he thinks you do too.

That's very racist of you.

See, I can play and make wild accusations of your character too.
