Security guard heading straight to hell


A security guard, or someone who pretended to be one at the Red Wings-Blackhawks Winter Classic game took a kids hockey stick that he had gotten from Red Wings' Henrik Zetterberg. The kid,14-year-old Kalan Plew had rushed down from his seats along the 3rd base line to where the players were exiting the ice after the game. He was hoping to get high-fives from the players as they left the ice, instead he made eye contact with Zetterberg. Zetterberg, according to Plew; He kind of winked," Plew said. "Then he gave me his stick."

Score!!
How cool would it be to have any hockey player give you his stick he just used in a game much less a player like Zetterberg?
Pretty Damn Cool if you ask me.

Plew was walking back to meet his dad at the front entrance when the POS security guard made his entrance.

As he left the stadium, a man dressed like a security guard told him to hand the hockey stick over. Plew said the man told him he was not allowed to have the stick if his parents weren't around. The man took the stick and told the teenager he could pick it up at the stadium's customer relations office. Plew said he ran to his dad and together they went to the ticket office and then to another office inside. They were told there was no hockey stick with Plew's name on it. Surprise...

The elder Plew said he found a man outside the stadium who worked for the Red Wings and explained what happened. The man gave him his e-mail address. Marc Plew said he e-mailed several times that day but heard nothing back. So he did what all smart parents do, he e-mailed the Chicago Tribune.

Monday morning, Red Wings spokesman John Hahn said the team will try to fill the void."Sometime this week we'll get another stick from Henrik and send it to him," Hahn said.Hahn said his office spoke with Zetterberg, who said he remembers giving his stick to a young fan."Henrik gave a kid a stick, and somehow it got taken away from him," Hahn said. "It's unfortunate, and we'll make it right."


Cubs spokesman Carl Rice had this comment about the whole affair; "He should have been able to walk out of the stadium without problem, the question is whether somebody stole it."

Ya think?

The POS who stole it wasn't done yet, he decided that since he had duped a 14-year-old out of a free souvenir, he should make a little cash off his brains. He sold the stick to one Bobby Pappert of North Carolina in one of the bathrooms in Wrigley Field. Pappert somehow heard about the story and decided to do the right thing, he sent the stick back to the kid which actually arrived in the mail before the replacement stick the Red Wings promised him did. No Pappert was not the one who stole the stick, the Tribune showed a picture of Pappert to Plew and the kid said it definately wasn't the guy who stole the stick.


Hopefully the POS who took this kids stick will have his a$$ beaten by someone or several someones and maybe just maybe if karma really has a sense of humor, they'll use a hockey stick.
