Sadly, the referee-in-chief, Olli, is one of those guys who loves, no, craves, power. For instance, in tonight’s game between Akureyri and Reykjavik ,he called FIVE misconduct penalties, three of which were for ‘illegal equipment’. Chin strap not done up in warm-up? That’s a 10-minute misconduct to start the game. Elbow pads not 1.27 centimetres thick? Hit the showers for ten, buddy. I see Olli being the victim of an on-ice assault one day.
Hockey-wise, the SA Vikings lost 6-3 tonight, though Josh had a goal and two assists, so that was good, I guess. I was a stats man/assistant-coach, and managed to hand Josh a note at the 2nd intermission stating that “#22 is going well, but not getting quality ice…maybe more?”. Josh double-shifted #22 Andrei Fyrir for the 3rd period, and Andrei chipped in with a goal and an assist, so I was happy with that call.
Further outrage continued after the game, when our growing legion of Domino’s Pizza purchasers were dismayed to find Domino’s closed early tonight to get their staff drunk—apparently they worked hard last week during ‘Mega Week’, so they closed at 9pm tonight. Fortunately, the local pizza place we tried was excellent. We’ll be hitting Domino’s up next Tuesday though, for sure.
In a few short hours, we have Icelandic lessons, so I must hit the sack!
