Striped punching bags
Oh, to be a top-flight hockey referee. To keep pace with players 25 years your juniors; to feel the wind in your helmet/helmet-like hair as you fly down the ice. To have crowds cheer you…when you slip and fall. To bring TV viewers off their couches and to their feet…as they scream obscenities at your image on the screen. To live your life knowing that at any given moment, there is probably at least one psychotic fan who wishes you dead.
How glorious.
Of course, in the last few days, referees have had a hard time.

"A quick shout out to Flames GM Darryl Sutter. What’s that? There is nothing clinically wrong with him? Oh…my mistake. Seriously, did Sutter spend June 30th smoking weed and watching the AMC channel? Hello, McFly, it’s not three years ago. And further to the point, Sutter knows that team three years ago wasn’t very good either right?"
