I'm watching the BU-RPI exhibition game and it's both sad and hilarious that on the ice at Agganis is an ad for "Jeffrey Glassman, Injury Lawyer"

I hope it isn't in that corner.

Thankfully not — it's near the blue line.

At the risk of sounding like a neophyte... which corner?

Fun game overall, though (if you're a BU and backup goaltender fan).

Trotsky is making a "joke" about 20-year-old BU hockey player Travis Roy breaking his neck and becoming a paraplegic.

Different arena anyway. Walter Brown is only used by the women's team nowadays

...Yikes.

Huh.  Coulda sworn that was at Agannis.

An allusion, not a joke.  That's the point.

I for one read your comment as an allusion rather than a joke.

Well it's definitely an allusion, and I also interpreted it as an attempt at a joke. They're not mutually exclusive. I mean, what was the point of the post, then?

Agganis didn't open until about 10 years later

Our first opponent this season, UMass, put up 35 shots in the first period and 70 in the game vs Northern Michigan Saturday night, if the CHN scoreboard is to be believed. I cannot remember seeing this many SOG by one team in a period or in a game that ended in regulation.

A joke is something that you'd laugh at. An allusion is a reference point, something that Trotsky often does. He also references jokes or cartoons (good or bad attempts ), but you know it when that happens. Knowing Trotsky I'd never expect him to disrespect an injured player like that. Institutions, big businesses for sure, but not this.

Rather I thought that he was just being cute, even if he was totally wrong.

I only know Trotsky through this forum, but his propensity for edgy jokes is exactly why I interpreted this one as a joke. See, for example, his long-running bit  about lacrosse players being rapists. This one seemed like an allusion at which you're supposed to laugh nervously, and guiltily, once the allusion becomes clear.
