Free Blaine Day.

Is tommorow. Here is why as told by Mucker.

---

I remember it like yesterday. A summer Shame hockey game, down 6-2. Some punk tries to get a breakaway in the closing 12 seconds. Blaine 'Barbarian' Bargfrede catches #12 Hawley with ease and poke checks the puck into the corner. As they both approach the boards, Hawley puts his arm around Barbarian's neck and attempts to bulldog him head first into the boards. It looked wicked from the bench. Barbarian hits the brakes and Hawley crashes face first into the boards himself. Aggitated, embarassed and Shamed, Hawley pushes Blaine. Blaine returns with a shove. Then Hawley looses his mind and attempts to throw a series of overhand bombs at our Barbarbian. Blaine grabs the punks jersey and tosses this rag doll to the ice. 'Blue', our 62 year old enforcer, jumps in and the altercation ended.

So it was.

A year later, I now prepare for Free Blaine Day. My black jeans, black shirt with 'Free Blaine' armband ducktaped to its back await.

Tomorrow, I will take a few minutes around 8:17pm, step outside and pour some of my Mickey's Big Mouth Ice onto my lawn.

Say a few words about our banished brother and walk back inside.

"Free Blaine"
