And it's more plausible than you might think that a family friend of the McAlpines would have given him the money via Woog, because the McAlpines and Woogs are both from South St. Paul.* But obviously, this is a situation you have to take seriously. The coach just shouldn't put himself in the situation of handing a former player money. * Chris's Uncle, Gary, played HS hockey with Woog. He was the goalie. He's now head of the St. Paul Police Bomb Squad. I know that's irrelevant, but I always get a kick out of thinking of the Bomb Squad as being a work-world situation with some of the same qualities as goaltending: high pressure with tremendous consequences for even small mistakes.
