Laura and I watched a bit of the Flyers/Penguins playoff game last weekend. It was pretty clear that these two teams don’t like each other one bit. There were seven game misconducts and 130 penalty minutes in a game that only takes 60 minutes to play.
During yet another fight…
Laura: This is so violent. All they’re doing is fighting.
Aaron: They don’t like each other very much. And it’s game three. The pot has had a few days to boil.
Laura: What happens when they fight?
Aaron: They either get a penalty, or they get kicked out of the game.
Laura: And when they get a penalty, they have to go and sit on that little bench in the trouble box, don’t they?
I smile and raise an eyebrow.
Aaron: They have to sit where?
Laura: In the trouble box. Isn’t that what it’s called?
Aaron: It sure is, hon.
