Two Minutes, Well Worth It

It Appears the Concept Of A Ceremonial Puck Drop Was Lost In Translation...

Incredible. Just incredible. I honestly wish this confusion lasted longer, because I could watch that befuddled Asian guy stand there all day aimlessly tossing a puck on the ice like he was feeding it to an animal at the zoo. I could watch those two players share that "what just happened?" glare until the sun goes down. I am going to take it upon myself to read that poor bastard's mind. It says "what the fuck do you want ME to do with this thing?", and I know this because I have been there before. 

No, I haven't been standing at center ice prior to a Russian hockey game in China, but I have been in a position where I was asked to do something and I agreed not having a damn clue how to do it. So while I can't stop giggling at the awkwardness of this dude, but I have to admit that I feel his pain. There's not a male reading this that hasn't looked/felt like the single dumbest person on the planet trying to complete a simple task that they know is simple task while still being completely unfamiliar with how to complete it. As someone that is not the least bit handy I can say that standing there perplexed without any idea of what to do next is the most nerve-racking feeling in the world, and I say that as a person that's never had a crowd watching me as I experienced it. It's during those situations when you're at your most literal. It's those circumstances that turn even the most intelligent person into nothing more than a trained monkey. Don't ask me to blame this dude for dropping the puck as fast as humanly possible during the "ceremonial puck drop", because you'd likely see the same type of quick, thoughtless reactions out of me if you asked me to operate a power tool or play Chinese checkers.
