When I read this story, I could relate...I used to be a serious hockey fan decades ago, I had four guys I hung out with that were too, and we would get together and watch nearly every hockey game in a season (or so it seemed) I guess maybe three games a week...in addition to playing a couple of times a week too...

It was huge fun for us, we would get very animated, so when I read this story, I understood completely.

If you heard us, with Fred Cusik on the television in the background...us screaming at the television

FRED CUSICK: (in a low voice) Wesley...coming out of his own end...over the blue line, into the zone...

US: AHHH! AHHHH! GOOOO!

FRED CUSIK: He passes it over to Bourque...

US: SHOOT! SHOOOT! SHOOOOOOOOT!

FRED CUSIK: (speaking faster at a higher pitch)...Wesley breaks for the net...

US: AHHHH-AHHHHHH-AHHHHHH

FRED CUSIK: (shouts) ...pass from Bourque! Wesley breaking in on Roy...

US: SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTT!

FRED CUSIK: ...Wesley shoots...IT'S HIGH AND OVER THE NET!!!!!!!!!

US: GAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I have no doubt in my mind that anyone who didn't play or watch hockey who might have been a house over with the windows open might well think, with the sound of screaming, and "SHOOOOOOOT! SHOOOOOT!" followed by guttural sounds of anguished human strangulation, might well think there was a bloodbath going on next door!!!!

I can completely see that.

If “Shoot” triggered a neighbor, next yell something like -

“He’s been slashing him all night. Let em fight it out.”

disclaimer I’m a Bolts fan.
But d’ya think ice-hockey ought to be restricted to north of the Mason-Dixon line???

I know how the neighbors vote...
