Having your team lose in front of you while attending a game is junk, but worse things can happen if you attend an NHL game.
You can be on the Jumbotron, or Yumbotron as it's known in LA.
Recently in Edmonton a fine upstanding young lady was banned from Rexall Place for six months for being on the Jumbotron. Why? She flashed the crowd. Security should have realized her confusion, for a young lady like that, when people cheer especially a crowd of thousands, there is only one reaction. Show the tits. Crowd cheers, thousands of people it sure isn't the WNBA or beach volleyball. When girls like that get crowd reaction it's either in one of the following three places:
a. Mardi Gras in New Orleans - you flash for beads
b. You're on Jerry Springer and flash the tits.
c. You're dancing around a pole and flash for money.
The confusion gets mounted after the Oilers run of 2006 and on Whyte Avenue, people cheered and you flashed for.... Oiler fans on the street.
While it can be horrid for a young lady to be banned, things can go horribly wrong on the Jumbotron for the rest of us as well. You know you're on the massive screen for a number of seconds, tops and you have to do something quick, or look like a moron.
- A friend of mine decided to take his empty cup and "dump it" over the head of the baby in front of him. Some laughed, some yelled for his head. It was an ugly scene, uglier if he thought of it with a full beer.
or you can have my experience with it. Sitting with a friend of mine at a game digging the game, having some beers and laughs watching some fine NHL action. Next thing you know the guy behind you taps on the shoulder - you look up and horribly realiz
e you're on the kiss cam with the ugly stranger girl sitting beside you. I could have buckled and kissed the pig hoping she'd turn into a princess, instead... shook my head slicing the hand in a good "hell no" fashion.
18,000 people boo directly at you. The second most people I had boo at me in one moment.
Beware the Jumbotron, it's not your friend. Oh yeah, NHL players, fear it as well it can always fall on you in Buffalo.
