And I might be worse at a Caps game, especially if they're playing the Flyers or Pens.) But at the same time, I've never - and I mean NEVER - wanted a guy to get drilled.

Oh, I've been there. Watching my alma mater's basketball games I try to stay cool, and reading the basketball board helps, but every now and then...

That's the part I didn't like either. Of course I know some fanboys are going to carry on about some umpire has an agenda or that umpire doesn't like our team and I just roll my eyes and move on, but the fact that people are serious about hurting an umpire is what really ticks me off.
