Goalie Tells Camera to Fuck Off By Throwing Stick at It

The Erie Otters goalie was none too pleased that they lost the Memorial Cup.

Sometimes, you just want to take the L all by yourself. Tricky to do, though, when you're aiming to play the game at the professional level—you're gonna have people watching all the time. But you know what? Fuck 'em.

During the Memorial Cup—an annual Canadian Hockey League trophy at the junior level—Erie Otters goalie Troy Timpano was none too pleased that his team lost. The Windsor Spitfires ended up taking the day at 4-3, with Timpano making 18 saves. But after the final whistle blew, as Timpano was sulking—wishing he had made 19 saves instead—some pesky-ass camera operator came by to soak in the miserable scene on the bench.

Timpano wasn't feeling the camera lurking around. Not whatsoever. So he launched his stick at it. Not the best sportsmanship, sure, but kinda funny. (Doesn't seem like the camera person was hurt.)

While the moment that he launches the stick is pretty clutch, what's even more hilarious is seeing his first glance at the camera:

In retrospect, the operator probably should have seen it coming.
