It's Time To Play Everybody's Favorite Game--Hockey Play or Aggravated Assault?
Just for starters here, it looks like we're in Russia for this one. Since there are no rules in Russia, we automatically need to lean towards "hockey play".
Now I gotta be honest here--total shit bag move. No doubt about it. One of the biggest pieces of shit I've ever seen on a sheet of ice. But out of everything we witnessed in that video, the most egregious act is buddy wearing #99.
Who the hell do you think you are, pal? I mean how is it not seared into every hockey player's brain at this point that NOBODY should wear the #99? You think you're Wayne fuckin' Gretzky? Get real, bud. There are only a handful of people on planet Earth who are actually good enough at hockey to wear #99, and all of them have the common decency to pick a different number. It's absolutely insane to me that companies will even stitch the #99 onto hockey jerseys anymore. If you're teammates with that guy, you need to tell him to cut the shit and wear a number that actually suits him. Buddy looks more like a 69 to me. Total goon.
Just for funsies, let's say this didn't go down in Russia. If this happened anywhere in the world where you could actually get into some serious legal trouble for assault? Well this is one of those moments where you might actually have to throw a man in jail. Usually I love to make sure that punishments stick to hockey, and maybe you just suspend the guy for a year or something. If it were just the slash, or just the kick? Maybe a year-long suspension from the league, and a lifetime ban from that rink would be adequate. But to do both of them? I'm pretty sure that's why jails were invented in the first place.
But seriously. Change your fucking number.
