Hockey House

El hockey en Chicago no sería nada sin mí; la multitud necesita alguien a quien odiar. Sé cuál es mi papel, y lo represento a la perfección. De hecho, me encanta pasar la mayor parte del partido amonestado en el banquillo para luego dejar el estadio con una chica distinta cada noche... o eso es lo que quiero que piense la prensa.

Pero me aseguraré de recordárselo, y para cuando termine la temporada deseará no haber aceptado el puesto.
