Tonight I am reminded when Chris Frank. Here are some of my favorite Chris Frank moments (he was a hockey player for us a few years back. There was a reason we called him Frank the Tank). Oh also note that we've been voted worst arena to play in mulitpul times in the past decade because our student section is kind of used to making opposing team player's mother's cry and so on. And our usual seats are behind the penalty boxes:
*
Crushing U of M players.
* When he yelled "I WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN!" at a MSU player
after Frank sat down in the box and then said MSU player looking suddenly very terrified.
* When after he served his is 410th penalty minute (over a 4 year career) we all started giving him praise for it (via yelling very obscene things in his praise...naturally) and he smiled and waved at us.
* When playing the FSU Bulldogs we chanted "VICK" (Spell it out, what does that mean? "Kill the dogs! Kill the dogs! Kill the dogs!") before a puck drop and there would be dead silence save for Frank doubled over laughing.
* When he got called for 2 minutes for "Taunting" and we learned that it was in fact, an actual penalty.
* When our former coach took away his captaincy because he called coach a pussy and a coward for not making this team what it should. (Also, while I'm not a huge fan of this, coach deserved it, in 10 years he didn't have a barely even record. We now have Andy fucking Murry as our coach.) And the players still rallied around Frank.
Just a fond trip through memory lane. Now granted this was all before I even started getting to know a few of the guys, so....I have more stories, but, um, I'd rather not repeat them. Even if they just add to the legend. Good news, he's playing in Vegas though, and from what I've heard, that's.....just not a good idea. Ahahaa.
