Replay of the Day: Even with octopus hands, it would be difficult to count the number of times a linesman has inadvertently interfered in my beer-league play: intercepting the opposition’s sure icing, running a pick on one of our puck-carrying forwards and causing an offside, being out of position for a muffed goal call….
Well, even in the big leagues, linesmen can get in the way. And if they do, you can run them over like Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin does Dan Schachte. Right in the chest.
Ovi apologies immediately. Purely accidental, of course. Or is it really payback for all of those meddling beer-league linesmen?
