“Like its Union sibling, it had a dark blue field in the upper left corner -- or the canton -- and only three stripes, two red and one white.

The Blues gained possession of the and passed the puck around in our defensive zone. The puck was passed behind…

I then walked over to the 4 foot 8-inch frame of Scott and punched him right in the jaw. He flopped to the ground harder than Daniel getting checked in AE hockey. My shirt sleeves had ripped off at this point from my massive muscles flexing with that hard punch. Scott slowly got up to his feet but was more disoriented than a blind three legged dog.
