Transcript:
Snooy stands on a frozen birdbath next to a bird, both are holding hockey sticks. (BR BR) Snoopy and the bird face off on the ice of the bird bath. (BR BR) Snoopy gets ready to hit the puck as the bird comes towards him. (BR BR) The bird swings his hockey stick and the puck and Snoopy goes flying off the frozen ice with a BUMP! (BR BR) Snoopy sits in the snow looking up, shaking his fists he thinks, "HEY! HOW ABOUT CROSS-CHECKING? HOW ABOUT UNNECESSATY ROUGHNESS? FIVE-MINUTE PENALTY!!" (BR BR) Snoopy climbs back up on to the birdbath with a scowl on his face and baring his teeth at the bird as he thinks, "You stupid bird! I'm gonna wipe you off the ice!!" The bird stands there and looks up at Snoopy. (BR BR) The two go at it on the ice, hitting the Puck back and forth. (BR BR) Snoopy stops as the puck glides past him as the bird hits it with a flip of the hockey stick. (BR BR) Snoopy turns and looks as the puck hits the edge of the birdbath indicating a goal. The bird jumps with joy as Snoopy thinks, "RATS!" (BR BR) Snoopy stands with a frown as he thinks, "I don't think I'm going to make the Stanley cup playoffs... The bird stands proudly with a big smile. (BR BR)
Pretty sad that a bird can check Snoopy off the ice.
