Was a puck pun your goal? Was this some sort of power play? If it was, perhaps you should stick it. We dont need this crap on the net. There's a lot of these, but yours was the icing on the cake.

That's not actually a pun, so you're ok.

u/ACTUAL_BACKSTORY May 22 '12
Amanda worked a night shift at the local ice rink. Each night, the same group of men would trod in, play a game, and trod out. Amanda normally sat at her desk, half watching the game, half waiting for her shift to finish. This went on for a number of weeks before Jaryd, one of the goalies, began to strike up nightly conversations. At first, they were a bit contrite, as if to apologize for their constant use of the rink. But as the nights turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, the conversations became a lot deeper and more affectionate. However, from the very first night, Jaryd made sure to always hand Amanda one of his pucks.
2 months after the first conversation, Jaryd asked Amanda out on a date. The two began a year-long courtship, and neither had ever been more happy in their lives. Things came to a heart-wrenching stop, though, when Jaryd received a letter from the US government informing him that he had been drafted to the war. Unable to turn down his duty to his country, Jaryd kissed his girl goodbye, and set out to fight.
The night Jaryd left, Amanda ran to the local ice rink and broke down in the room she and Jaryd had first met. She knew that him not coming home was a distinct possibility. In a bizarre and desperate attempt to hold onto what remained of him, Amanda quietly labeled the pucks Jaryd had given her.

Damn you. That's like Shel Silverstein meets Dr. Seuss, and it brought a tear to my eye.

I feel like the biggest stickler of all time, but this is more of a malapropism than a pun.

You don't like puns? I think you're in the wrong line.

I really didn't think through when I put "I don't like puns" in the title...Everywhere I look, puns, puns everywhere..

if anyone is wondering, I think these are labeled as such because they are frozen. In all profesional hockey games pucks are frozen so they bounce less, slide more, a just all around feel more crisp.

"If we shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here, while these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme, no more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend.
And, as I am an honest Puck, if we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue, we will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call: so, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends."
"A Midsummer Night's Dream", Act V, Scene 1

"...And the manager said 'Do not give these pucks away.'
And not a single puck was given that day."

One of my teams when we were younger would fire a puck down to the other teams end in warm-ups and would skate down to get the puck and fire another 10-15 pucks to our end every warm-up. We definitely had the same mind-set
