Pucky the Whale was greeting people in the stands at a minor league hockey game when a drunken fan tackled and then punched him on Saturday, police said. Saturday’s Connecticut Family Whale evening game went from a G-rated event to something violent near section 105, all over a bet Kevin O’Connell, 28, of East Hartford, made with a friend, police said. As the hockey team’s mascot was greeting fans, O’Connell, attacked, police said. Immediately, dozens of upset parents reacted. They helped Hartford Police Officer John Zweibelson and the XL Center staff find O’Connell, who police said, was hiding in section 206.
28 seems a little too old to be getting into bets with your friends over tackling a mascot. Maybe I'm maturing. Listen, I'm all about shaking things up a bit and throwing elbows in public but not when it comes to my mascot. Pucky is our guy and when you attack one of our guys, you attack all of Whale nation. Plus you don't pull that shit in front of little kids. It's like an unwritten rule at sporting events. You don't curse or say inappropiate things when there's a family of young kids at a game. It's bad taste. Even I know that. Unless he's wearing a Kobe jersey and they just beat you in game 7. Then you can tell the little shit to go fuck himself and that his dad sucks balls. Whatever. You tell Kevin O'Connell of East Hartford that when it comes to me and him on the open ice, I'm putting him through a wall.
P.S. Dude nailed the mugshot though. If you're gonna get arrested for roughing up a mascot then you have to smile in the photo like a cold blooded killer. Let the world know you're coming for its ass.
