You Would Have Dropped That Puck Too If You Had Suddenly Spotted A Murder In The Crowd

Many Boston University men’s hockey fans are hurt and disappointed after the team’s close loss to Providence College in the NCAA championship, especially after a miscue by BU’s goalie in the third period. However, few attendees realize that the sudden appearance of a murder in the crowd was a larger factor in the mistake than previously thought.“When there’s no room for error and the chips are down, it takes one hell of a spectacle to distract you,” BU coach David Quinn said. “But that’s exactly what happened when he saw a knife-wielding homicidal maniac doing what he does best right there in Section G4.”“I don’t know about you, but I don’t blame him in the slightest for taking in such a bizarre sight,” he continued. “I mean, this is an act of murder, the worst thing that a human can do to a fellow human. And his victim.”“Why it was happening here, I have no idea, but you’d be awestruck too if you were down there on the ice and you saw something like that.”Other students and spectators later said that they too, completely understood the impact that such an event had on the game.“Initially, I was heartbroken,” said BU student Dean Sweetwater (CAS ‘16). “But then I realized, hey, if that was me down there and I just witnessed a cold-blooded act of killing upon a fellow man, I’d be pretty distracted too.”At press time, the murderer was seen high-fiving Providence College players in their locker room with a “Mission Accomplished,” banner draped around his collection of knives.
