A Hockey Kiss of Death...

In hockey, there is a certain day that can wreak havoc on an already unstable lifestyle....

THE TRADE DEADLINE

I would like to share with you a few examples of things that can boost the chance that a player will be traded (not just for lack of points, team chemistry, salary cap, etc.)...

Think of it as THE HOCKEY KISS OF DEATH!

A player will most-likely be traded...

• The player has purchased, in bulk, spaghetti, tomato sauce, and chicken breasts from Costco!

• The player has been chosen to pose for the cover on the next month's issue of the team program. (This happened one season on my husband's team...the team program always had a player on the cover who had been traded before the issue came out.)

• The player has been told to find permanent housing (for us, it is buying a home)

These are from my husband...when I asked him about {rumored} 'kiss of deaths' in the hockey world...

• The player finally gets around to dropping off his dry-cleaning.

• The player only packs one suit for a road trip.  (Then is sent to a new team from the road).

• The goalie finally gets his mask painted with the team logo.

This one is my favorite...

• The player finally finds a regular "booty call"!

um, ok babe...what ever you say!

**UPDATE....I have had some great additions, and I wanted to be sure to post them!**

Thank you to KY at Travel Babbles  

• The guy's girlfriend or family books a flight to come see them mid-season. Bam, kiss, goodbye!

Thank you to the Hockey Wife

• A wife or girlfriend does not understand that it is NEVER smart to talk poorly of the organization that signs the paychecks!  

Anyone else want to add to the list?  What is the kiss of death for a hockey player to be traded?
