The Law and novella
Conspiracy Theorist:
What they did with Bob in the show cut quite badly across the books, especially Dead Beat.

It wasn't what I'd call a faithful adaptation, sure. But the actor and the writers got the sarcastic essence of the character down right, and changing his origin story from the book version of a spirit into a condemned human ghost wasn't anywhere near the worst thing the tv adaptation did.

Since I watched the shows before I read the books, I was actually disappointed when I read how Bob was described. However my reaction to the hockey stick was opposite from yours, I thought it looked silly. For a man as tall as Harry Dresden, a staff to aid in walking would not be out of place, but carrying around a hockey stick would in my opinion.

Yes, I remember we talked about this years ago :) I found quite normal to see adult people with hockey sticks, as long as they are young. At some point, Harry would look too old, but at the time, I thought it was good.
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Law exists within the Dresdenverse to allow Supernatural creatures to hunt mortals, it is referenced in Welcome To The Jungle and Zoo Day. It may be a coincidence of wording, as this is supposed to be the long heralded showdown between Harry and Marcone, with litigation and explosions but is it? We know so little about the story.
It certainly takes place after Little Things, but it is not clear whether it takes place after The Good People/Christmas Eve. I would hazard afterwards, indeed all the care packages Molly delivered from the Wizard of Chicago may be what sets Marcone off. No good deed goes unpunished, and Molly did thousands of good deeds in Harry’s name.

Yeah, I remember, since then my son has moved to Chicago, I finally was able to spend Christmas and some time with them. Anyway, hockey is a big thing in Chicago, lots of small neighborhood outdoor ice rinks and hockey leagues advertised at all of them. My six year old grand daughter caught the ice skating bug for a bit. Anyway as a result we visited a couple of these small rinks, but never did I see one kid, let alone adult walking around with a hockey stick.
