Man deals with an alligator, then goes to a hockey game:

See you later, alligator:

 JACKSONVILLE: A Florida man wrestled an 8-foot gator, and then went back to the hockey game he was watching.

 Mike Dragich, a licensed alligator trapper in Jacksonville, received a service call when he was spending time with his family.

 "It was only five minutes from the game, so I literally left the game, caught the alligator, and then went back to the game," Dragich said.

Dragich wasn’t even wearing shoes during the altercation. “"I felt like Batman!" he said.
