Zamboni

I have to admit, I hate the Zamboni. There is nothing more annoying than watching the Zamboni drive round and round the ice after a period has ended. You just sit there bored, waiting for the next period.

Still, that doesn’t mean it can’t be a useful tool for a storm surge. It represents a fresh start and many fans enjoy the satisfaction of watching it miss no spots on the ice. So perhaps it’s time to incorporate the Zambonis into a celebration that also celebrates what it represents.

While the players lead the skol clap on the ice, two will be missing. It doesn’t really matter who, but let’s pick Greg KcKegg and Teuvo Teravainen, who have both gone to get ready with the Zamboni.

The Zamboni enters the ice, being driven by McKegg, while Teravainen stands on the back firing Bunch of Jerks t-shirts into the crowd. Hopefully, McKegg knows how to drive. Maybe he’ll even pull off a few doughnuts on the ice before he’s led off, as long as they don’t pull a Deadpool reenactment, the fans should enjoy it!
