Proof Hockey Is The Greatest Sport On Earth
This clip is great. Brings me straight back to the glory days of youth hockey. There was nothing I loved more than just laying kids out and making old dad proud. When I became a PeeWee and checking was allowed, I moved to defense so I could just train track kids who tried to cut across the middle with their heads down. I even got in a scrap or two, most notably in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin when I threw down with a kid towards the end of a three goal performance by yours truly. As I got escorted off the ice, some crazed woman in the stands kept yelling "see ya, bye goon" at the top of her lungs. Those were the fuckin days. But man I don't ever remember anything this rowdy.
There are about a million little, dirty cheap shots in this clip so I went ahead and highlighted the most notable three for the non hockey viewer. Cause if there's one thing I hate its hearing people bitch about how hockey doesn't translate to TV. So shut up and enjoy. Don't say I never did anything for you.
3rd Best Cheap Shot:
At the 25 second mark, near the bottom left of the screen, you can see a little guy just taking the whole thing in. He's the kinda kid who wants to get involved but doesn't want his pussy dad chewing him out all the way home about sportsmanship and representing your team in a positive light so he just stays near enough to get the adrenaline rush, without the lecture. But then survival of the fittest kicks in and this kid gets picked off from the edge of the heard like a baby wildebeest. Kid is just cautiously looking on one second and then has his neck in the mouth of a lion the next. This shit shoulda been on Planet Earth.
2nd Best Cheap Shot:
47 seconds in, top of your screen, just above the referee. We got two guys Donald Brashearing each other into submission. What kind of psycho takes a full cut at another dude with a hockey stick, just disgusting behavior. I'm gonna be damn sure to teach my kids honorable stuff like butt ending and nut shots, not this gay crap.
#1 Cheap Shot:
Just when you think this thing is all but done at the 1:17 mark you got your number 1 cheap shot of the brawl. I don't think this did hardly any damage but I just love it cause my little brother Bmase was basically a carbon copy of this little shit in net. He pulled this stuff all the time. Blocker shots to the back, kicking out peoples feet at the top of the crease and you can fuckin bet that if he was in this melee he undoubtedly woulda rolled in once it was calming down and karate kicked a dude in the back of the knee. Woulda been fist pumping all the way to the penalty box too.
