>>Manny Ortiz is his favorite Red Sox player too.

He better bone up on hockey because he’s going to be forechecked, backchecked and left wing locked.

For the unitiated, forechecking is when the forwards attack opponents in the offensive zone(opponent’s defensive zone). Backchecking is the forwards coming back to help the defensemen in the defensive zone Z(opponent’s offensive zone). Left wing lock is a Detroit Red Wings style of play - in the neutral zone, where the left wing acts as a third defenseman, creating a 2 on 1 situation on any opposing forward to lock them out of their offensive zone.

You need to explain the rules like the goalie from “Slapshot”:

Well, um, icing happen when the puck come down, bang you know, before the other guys you know. Nobody there, you know. My arm go comes up then the game stop then start up.

High-sticking happen when the guy take the stick, you know, and he go like that you know. You don’t do that. Against the rules. You know, you’re stupid when you do that. Just some English pig with no brains, you know.

You do that, you go to the box, you know. Two minutes, by yourself, you know and you feel shame, you know. And then you get free.
