The Day I Came Up With Bustamante

I can remember it like yesterday. I was new to hockey, and my good friend Brian Kazarian had invited me to see the Ducks play against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

It was not a good game. The Ducks were getting crushed, down 4 goals or so. Naturally, to avoid boredom and make the game more interesting, I began to annoyingly heckle everything and everyone. I would yell random penalties I believed should be called...like Hooking or Tripping.

One player caught my eye, he was especially terrible that day, and has been since, though the Ducks love to play him. I tried to read his jersey, as I was new to the sport and didn't know any player's names or numbers. It started with a B and ran on and on.

Being heavily influenced by a recent SNL skit involving Justin Timberlake and the recent CA gubernatorial candidate Cruz Bustamante, I quickly began referring to this terrible defenceman with the long last name as Bustamante.

I am such a quick witted genius.

The end.

I actually had to do some research because I thought the Bustamante sketch was before the Fedorov trade in which we acquired Beauchemin, who was my first guess. Upon referencing Wikipedia, yes, I understand who you are talking about.

Ass.
