A ‘Christmas’ Story

from Charlie Teljeur (Loose Change) at the Hockey News,
One of the true joys of the holiday season – besides random snowball attacks on unsuspecting postal workers – is the annual National Hockey League Christmas Pageant.
This event has been taking place ever since Conn Smythe realized he could creatively circumvent labor laws with his indentured workforce.
It is put on annually by the NHL Repertory Theatre Company and is loosely based on the story of this couple (Mary and Joseph) who are too cheap to pay for proper medical care or even a passable motel room and are forced to have the delivery of their baby in a musty old barn, surrounded by curious four-legged creatures, various poultry and some very determined paparazzi.
The story itself seems unspectacular until you realize this is no average kid being born here. He is said to be the King of Kings – an obvious ode to Marcel Dionne, one would think. In addition, this kid possesses a lethal slapshot and is said to play with “a real nasty streak.”
