i don't know blinden at all, but i thought ao was actually kind of a hockey fan? this idea is so terrible that i can't believe it.
one of those flimsy sticks break in the last minute? PENALTY SHOT!!!
puck accidentally shot over the glass? PENALTY SHOT!!!
bad line change resulting in a too many men call? PENALTY SHOT!!!
roughing penalty in a scrum after the final whistle? PENALTY SHOT!!!
mouth off to the ref too much? PENALTY SHOT!!! (i definitely want people like Stephan Auger to have this kind of authority!)
one of the worst ideas itt, and that's saying something.
