...despite the fact that I've been following this sport since I was 5 (GO RANGERS!).
In honor of today's marquee Olympic match-ups between the Czech Republic and Russia, and the US and Canada (GO CZECHS! GO CANUCKS!), some of my favorite funny phrases:
* stick handling
* puck handling
* power play
* shorthanded
* hooking
* holding
* back checking
* in the crease
* bouncing puck
* slow whistle
* slapshot
* poke check
* penalty box
* first period
* snow shower
* two-man advantage
* pulling the goalie
* waffle pads
* Zamboni

When put together, this is a strangely arousing list. Except maybe "poke check"...not feeling that one so much.
ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteYou should know Becca has some eccentricities...
I liked the ZAMBONI culmination :)
Jane: That was my intention. :) You should read some of my "engineering porn" posts. I have the mentality of a 13-year-old boy.
ReplyDeleteDalia: Well, it started with a Z. I figured it was fitting. :)
Ahhh...got it. At least I know where to turn now during those evenings when I'm sitting with a glass of wine, a pocket protector and a vibrator...
ReplyDelete"...horrible priorities" Jane?
ReplyDeleteYeah...this is the right place for you...too :)
I'm giggling about sexually-suggestive hockey terms instead of doing my taxes...of course, I have horrible priorities. :)
ReplyDeletePure escapism Jane...
ReplyDeleteI can relate to that! :)
This would surely be a bit funnier if there were also some definitions along with it, then again maybe you chose to have the reader come up with their own interpretations!
