From Love Story by Erich Segal

“By the middle of the second period, we were beating Darmouth 0-0. That is, Davey Johnston and I were about to perforate their nets. The Green bastards sensed this and began to play rougher. Maybe they could break a bone or two before we broke them open. The fans were already screaming for blood. And in hockey this literally means blood or, failing that, a goal. As a kind of noblesse oblige, I have never denied them either."
