A rousing T-shirt cannon party at Nashvilles Bridgestone Arena was repeatedly marred by men coming out to play hockey Thursday, despite jeers and pleading from the crowd. 'Everyone was excited to see free shirts fired into the stands by a 6-foot blue cat-man wielding a cannon, but they didnt do that for more than a couple minutes at a time,' said T-shirt fan Darren Chapman, adding that crowd members were turned away by security when they tried to follow the T-shirt squad into a tunnel. 'If you have T-shirt cannons at a three-hour event, there should be three hours of T-shirt cannons. If I didnt know better, Id say they had been planning on playing that hockey in here all along.' The arenas public address announcer later declared there would be exciting 'playoff' T-shirt cannon parties in the next few weeks, but sources said hockey-playing men are expected to ruin those too.
