“Gronkowski drops puck before minor league hockey game”

———————————————————-

They sure picked the right guy for the job.

The last play of the Super Bowl proved that,
if you need something to be dropped, not caught
then here’s a person with experience at it to do just that…

First of all I WAS THERE.

I heard the puck was “pre-cut” for the desired effect of having it explode into pieces when spiked. I don’t think anyone (including GRONK) had any idea that it would go like it did though.

Also, he agreed to do this for a charity event, The March of Dimes. Yes the AHL team paid for his spike fine in the Jets game, but this was about the charity event.

However, the organizers of that need to be severely bitch slapped for it. They sold tickets for a “meet and greet” and it was suppose to be a “limited number”. Those who bought said tickets were told they would get an autograph and a chance to get thier picture taken with him.
They obviously overbooked it because the number of people in line FAR exceeded the number of tickets that were suppose to be sold by at least three fold. Then you were not allowed to have anything signed except a picture supplied by them. And when it came time to actually have your chance at the “meet and greet” you were only allowed to have him sign your supplied photo and move along. No chance to pose with him (and those who tried were pushed along by the gorrillas/security). Total dissappiontment. The organizers should be ashamed of themselves for how this was handled.

Was good to see GRONK out and about though. He was in good spirits and when I asked him about it, he said he would be ready to play in a few months.

The crowd seemed to like the spike.

Its nice of him to promote these hockey teams and to help out these teams when asked.

I’ve also seen him in a lot of videos promoting charities.

He seems like a nice guy.

So a puck made of vulcanized rubber stays perfectly intact after a 110 MPH slap shot off a steel hockey goal but somehow falls apart went thrown at the ice?

Not impossible, but it smells like it was set up. Gotta call BS on this one.

Important fact: The hockey team (which is the San Jose Sharks affiliate) agreed to pay his $7,500 fine for spiking the ball after scoring against the Jets on Nov 13. if he came to this game and spiked the puck. It was their idea.

Question is: did he host a F’ it let’s party after game get together for the team that loss the hockey game.

I don’t follow the Patriots so I only know his as a vital part of their offense. I know nothing of him as a man except what I have seen since the Superbowl. So I have to ask — has he always been an asshat or has success completely gone to his head?

Shockey isn’t close to the player this guy is. It was a minor league hockey stunt. Get over it. He was asked to do it

Only he didn’t “drop” the puck, he spiked it.

What’s wrong with this guy?
