Lol...we start this at the ages of 4, and pretty much every kid plays hockey up here in Canada...girls too....don't get me wrong,Canadian girls aren't running around here with no teeth..lol..we'll most of them have teeth..lol...and to tell the truth,we like hurtin people on the ice,it's war out there,Canadians are nice to a certain point,..we don't mind fighting it out at all!...especially in Ontario..where many of the greats come from!
@@SgtDexterGrif hell i played no contact (coed) house league for 15 years and you damn sure kept your head up and on a swivel......cause if you hit someone all you got was 2 min lmfao unless it was clear you were just headhunting fighting on the other hand was a 3 game suspension and 2nd fight you're done for the rest of the year no refund
Let's not overdo it. So does a hockey player leave if spraining an ankle. Though it rarely happens, because the skates are build to support the ankles.
Important to note, that guy you saw laying unconscious in the middle of the ice....He came back to score the game winning goal in that game. Hockey players are the toughest athletes on the planet. It's not close.
Every play in football ends in a hit so it's way more frequent but the speed and the boards make hockey hits more ruthless. Also the huge hits in football you usually gonna see a flag come out but because hits are less common in hockey you can get away with alot more. Much love to both sports Go habs go chiefs #runitback
Imagine this level of violence in a sport where fighting is allowed, where players hit you going over 20 mph and yet it takes a higher level of finesse and skill than any other sport. Hockey is beautiful
If you think players don't say anything after laying a huge check, you have never played hockey. Players talk trash to each other in games all the time.
@@brianeleighton nothing - absolutely nothing like football. There's continuous trash talk but if someone's pounding their chest and celebrating after a hit we would handle it in our locker room because shit like that gets other players hurt. Teams don't forget that stuff... even in beer league.
@@bobdonovan34 Are you kidding me? Hockey players do that crap ALL the time. Off the top of my head, goal cellies and if they KO a guy in a fight. Not to mention, football players can't say to an opponent they do not like, "Hey, we are gonna go...drop 'em" and then have a bare knuckle fist fight. After hits, hockey players can't stand for too long because the play is ongoing. They DO taunt the guy though. Edit: I say this because I have been hit and done the hitting. At the least is the..."Keep your head up" and laugh as you/they skate off.
@@brianeleighton no doubt we're always talking out there .. and maybe I should have used the word "celebrating" more than "taunting" because hockey culture isn't about chest thumping like football. The Tie Domi/Tiger Williams thing would have been nothing in the NFL but in hockey it was a big deal (even if it really wasn't). If another team did that shit to us one of our guys would either step in and settle it there or line the guy up on the next shift ... and for sure if one of our guys celebrated like that ... we'd straighten him out in the locker room. I'm in my 40's now but even our beer league still plays by those unwritten rules.
@@bobdonovan34 you realize they "celebrate" because they have the chance to...a tackle in football ends the play, a hit in hockey doesn't, if you "celebrate" a hit in hockey and the other team goes down and scores, you're gonna get reamed out by your coach, I've played both hockey and football and never heard anything nearly as bad on the field as I have on the ice, you sound stupid, and you're definitely the guy who tries to scrap everyone in beer league when his team is getting dominated hahaha
@@niclasliljeberg Luckily there's never been a death on the ice in the NHL. There was one player who died in hospital quite a while after he was taken off the ice though.
There is nothing on the planet that is as intense and violent as playoff hockey. UFC is violent sure, but no where near as butt-clenching, heart stopping or white-knucklingly intense as Caps winning the cup (finally) St. Louis winning theirs, Jets 1st and 2nd post-season runs. Just, nothing.
3. Do not ever mess with a Canadian kid from the Prairies...or Quebec...or Ontario. Oh hell just don't ever mess with a Canadian (Ask germany they tried a few times and have never forgiven themselves).
adding insult to injury, most of those hits were legal. Also think that those guys are reaching speeds of 25 miles/hr, and landing on ice, which believe it or not is harder then pavement
Hockey is my favorite sport! It has the perfect elements of football and soccer but way more beautiful and violent. There’s mad respect in hockey because players are allowed to police themselves and they live by a code. The ultimate team sport played at high speeds on blades 3mm wide. They are the most gifted athletes imo and humble as can be.
DanSk451 Thanks for brining that to my attention. I read that measurement on a hockey article but never checked it’s validity. After reading your reply just now I measured mine (Bauer Vapor X60 size 8.5 EE) and the entire width of the concave blade was exactly 3mm so I’ll go correct my post.
If you ever get a chance check out a game in person. On TV the camera mainly follows the puck and you miss a lot of what is going on. There are hits going on all over the place away from the puck as well.
The speed of the game is what really separates hockey from the hits in sports like football. Some of the hits are the result of 2 opposing forces colliding at a combined speed of up to 45 MPH. The other thing is the boards don't have much give, Over the years, the league has tried to eliminate the head hits but they still occur with relative frequency. Glad you enjoyed the video. Love the energy.
It's the equivalent force to sprinting top speed into a brick wall. Big D-man vs fast Forward has the same G-force impact rating as a 30mph collision (with a stationary object) in a car.
Always good to see new people getting into hockey. It's such a fast explosive sport, goals happen infrequently enough that it's exciting when it happens, but frequently enough that it doesn't get boring. So much skill and speed involved that I don't understand why more people count it as their favorite.
Thank you Kennutz! Watching you react to this brought me a lot of joy. I miss playing hockey. And yeah, there have been a few players who have got their necks sliced open by skates. One guy got his jugular cut
We lived in L.A. in the 90s and of course was big LA KINGS fans. I'll never forget this one game a player named Paul Coffee took a puck to the mouth. It broke his jaw and knocked out 4 teeth. He went to the locker room, got his jaw wired shut, came back out and ended up scoring the game winning goal that night. Hockey players and not human. They train for this their whole lives and if gotta drink your hamburger through a straw for a few months so be it.
The best part about this? The open ice hitting is only ONE ASPECT of hockey thats awesome. Goalie duels? Power plays? Penalty kills? Full on fights? Insane goals and skill? Dude, you'll love it.
I started playing full contact hockey when I was 6 yrs old. None of this surprises me, except that the subjects of the checks seemed to be surprised by the impact. I was able to deliver that kind of impact until I quit playing contact sports at age 45-50 yrs. This is what Ice Hockey is all about. If you can't take it, get outta the kitchen.
As a black kid playing roller hockey from 8th grade until 19 years old, I can say that I love hockey. A sport like none other, and fun as fuck because of how it's played. Enjoy watching!
NFL holds nothing on the NHL. They can get knocked out, take a frozen puck to the face at 100mph. Fight, and still finish the game. Should be the highest payed players in the world.
Unfortunately there have been several players that have had their throats accidentally cut while playing If you haven't checked out the best dekes/dangles it's definitely worth taking a look at to see the phenomenal skills these guys possess
You gotta checkout the NHL fights and THE CODE. There is an unwritten code because fighting is allowed. In fact , sometimes players even say to each other “are we gonna do this” or “are we gonna go” then drop the gloves and go at it . Every once in a while there’s even a bench clearing brawl, where EVERY player including the ones not on the ice all go at it .
The fact hockey players are skating 20-25 mph is what makes it so great when it a good check happens and those boards and ice isn't forgiving. That said the game is fast and fun to play and watch. Here in Canada I started playing around 5years old young player down get to check until peewee and bantam.
I feel like a lot of sports fans start liking hockey once they give it a chance. It's high skill, high tempo and high aggression. I guess hockey is top sport only here in finland and canada. You should check out filthiest goals from season 2018-2019, those moves are sick.
@@OGT4204 isn't soccer still a bigger thing in rus and den anymore? Im not sure how swe hockey is doing but not that long ago soccer still edged as the #1 in swe. 🤔
Pyllymysli yea true, however I believe hockey has a massive following in Russia, maybe not as big as soccer but they love it and they are excellent at it(I’m Canadian btw but respect Russia a lot)
You wanna see some crazy hits, check out people being "Kronwalled". Niklas Kronwall has a talent for reading plays. Especially during the playoffs and olympics, he reads people from across the ice, picks up some speed skating backwards towards them, and WRECKS them when they meet at center-ice. He isn't a huge guy, but he hits like he is 400 pounds.
2:45, two people have. Both survived. Not going to give names lest you're tempted to look them up. If you find the videos, that's on you. Also, most of these hits are slowed down for replay, watching full speed is even more brutal.
Most of the dudes who hit guys amd they "don't see it coming," that's part of what makes it a brilliant hit. A huge portion of these hits are perfectly legal, as long as the player has the puck they are fair game
Even just walkin down the street, back home in Boston...we Always says... "I know this Aint hockey but you Gotta keep your head up" !!! Lol Bleed black n gold baby Go Bruins
Nick Kaminski Maybe, game time decision, dude's got a broken jaw so he'd have to wear a face sheild. He was on the ice for the morning skate. montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/bruins-chara-could-play-in-game-5-despite-injury/wcm/1bd3db44-da90-4b58-888f-dace0dd538dc
Nick Kaminski I can't cheer for St. Louis, they knocked my Jets out in the 1st round. TBH I was hoping for a Winnipeg vs Toronto Finals but this year's series is pretty good.
ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ I was born and raised in STL, but I feel ya on why you gotta go for Boston. I had been meaning to look up the status on Chara, I just kept forgetting. That puck to the face was nasty man. I’m loving the Blues vs Backes rivalry we’ve got going on in this series!
3:42 That is Paul Kariya out cold after taking a blindside hit from Scott Stevens in game 6 of the Stanley Cup final. BTW, he came back to score the game winning goal. You will never see something like that again.
There’s a number of reasons why Hockey has such violent collisions number one the game is about intimidation it’s about making your opponent concerned for his safety and his well-being number to the speed of the game and sometimes you inability to avoid another person because of your speed and the last and probably the more influential part is there is no Outabounds in hockey you can’t hide you can’t really run and of course you don’t want to be embarrassed in front of your teammates so sometimes you have to make the play and take the hit Luckily any hit that involves striking ahead is now an illegal hit. CTE is pretty significant in hockey since the 70s and the 80s are only recognizing it now in the 90s.
Hits like that are actually less common in the NHL because players are so good they barely ever make a mistake....on the other hand mistakes are almost always punished.
I find it hilarious watching reactions to hockey. In Canada we start playing at 3 4 years old. We are just used to seeing and getting body checked. And no you don't body check at 3. That starts in your teens. But yeah it's just normal here. Fighting too.
Except for all the times you and your friends are out on the lake or the out door rink after school. You KNOW you lined up your buddy, laid his ass out then laughed about it for the next 3 days.
This game is not for the faint of heart!!!! I have played this gave for over 50 years and am still playing!!! Both players can be moving at 30 to 40 mph each.
Dude, check out Kassian-Tkachuk hits and fight ... just happened recently ... that ought to bring you up to speed about hockey's game within the game ;)
You should watch the best fights and one of the videos they have on best NHL chirps. (Some of the chirping videos aren’t great compared to the good ones you just have to find the right one)
You don't see these hits as much anymore. Refs have been calling it closer and many of these hits are considered charging. Lot of guys are now letting up in fear of getting a penalty
My guy look up the redwings v the avalanche rivalry from the 90s they played a 60 minute game with over 300 penalty minutes had a few line brawls (everyone fighting ) including 2 goalie fights and tons of blood . Or look up "you got kronwalled " if you just want to see people get destroyed . Or look up Bob Probert if you want to watch the best fighter in the history of the league
Most of those hits were in playoff games. Hockey is generally more tame in the regular season. You might see 1 or 2 hits like that a year until its all on the line.
Not sure if it has been mentioned, but not all of those hits were legal in hockey... you're not allowed to hit a person from behind (crosschecking), especially into the boards (boarding penalties can be 2 minutes or 5 minutes major with the potential to be kicked out of the game). Hits to the neck and head are of course, subject to league disciplinary action (people have been given 10+ game suspensions).
A hit from behind is not crosschecking. Crosschecking is when you have both hands on the stick and your stick is more or less parallel to the ice and your stick is the point of contact for the hit. Any penalty can be a 2 minute minor or a 5 minute major or result in misconduct depending on the severity of the infraction. The line between minor and major is usually (but not always) whether blood is drawn.
All of us kids grow up playing hockey in Canada..especially in Ontario where I am...and as kids we didnt hold back on the ponds,you got put on your ass all the time,just shake it off and get going...puck to the face?....you get laughed at first,then get attended to....lol
I played hockey for 12 years, never played football. Its possible for hockey hits to be as painful as anything you'd get in football because of the speeds. I think it's more likely to hurt in football, though, just because its 100% friction and a lot of the guys weigh 260+ pounds. A lot of the common "big" hits in hockey, you're going the same direction and it hurts, but it's not too serious. A lot of the open ice hits, though, where you get dropped are like a guaranteed concussion, and in minor league hockey a hit from behind into the boards is more common, because the pros are generally trained very well not to hit from behind, because it's a guaranteed penalty, and you'll get the shit beat out of you if you do. Hit from behind, by the way, is imagine you're bent over 90 degrees with the top of your head against the wall. Then somebody hits you from behind and rams you head first into the wall. It sucks. My first hit ever, I accidentally creamed the smallest kid in the game from behind and he was like 4 feet from the boards. I just stopped playing at that moment and looked up at the hockey gods, then helped the kid up...
Unfortunately they don't hit like that anymore. Clint Malarchuck was a goalie for the Buffalo Sabers and he had his jugular vein sliced back skate and almost bled out
I always love to see peoples reactions to hockey if they have no experience with the sport..... It's really weird, most people know it's a sport but have never watched it........ Of course when they do they love it and are addicted ........ I have never met anyone that watched a hockey game and was like "that was boring" lol...... As a matter of fact the truth is the opposite - they say "this is so exciting" and of course they will claim what they were expecting was essentially wrestling or a play, but they got everything hockey is... And it's funny when after a game someone that is ignorant to hockey is like "I wasn't expecting that but what I just saw was awesome"........ There is no one on this planet that dislikes or hates hockey - there are only people who have never seen it.....
imagine this guy when he finds out you can fight
Lmao!
Right!!
Not to mention the major injuries.
Consider that a warning

@@OGT4204 I might have been a bit unclear, I ment hockey as a clear #1 sport. In FIN it's not even a competition.
You wanna see some crazy hits, check out people being "Kronwalled". Niklas Kronwall has a talent for reading plays. Especially during the playoffs and olympics, he reads people from across the ice, picks up some speed skating backwards towards them, and WRECKS them when they meet at center-ice. He isn't a huge guy, but he hits like he is 400 pounds.
Dude apologizes for language while watching hockeys hardest hits. The irony🙄💯
2:45, two people have. Both survived. Not going to give names lest you're tempted to look them up. If you find the videos, that's on you.
Also, most of these hits are slowed down for replay, watching full speed is even more brutal.
I watch a tonne of hockey, pure canadian here.... and that was....AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pick your shit up, keep going and get paid.
Most of the dudes who hit guys amd they "don't see it coming," that's part of what makes it a brilliant hit. A huge portion of these hits are perfectly legal, as long as the player has the puck they are fair game
Even just walkin down the street, back home in Boston...we Always says...
"I know this Aint hockey but you Gotta keep your head up" !!!
Lol
Bleed black n gold baby
Go Bruins
"I'm gonna start watching hockey." No time like the present, Bruins vs Blues, Game 5 tonight. Go Bruins Go!
ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ GO BLUES!!!
ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ is Chara coming back?
Nick Kaminski Maybe, game time decision, dude's got a broken jaw so he'd have to wear a face sheild. He was on the ice for the morning skate. montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/bruins-chara-could-play-in-game-5-despite-injury/wcm/1bd3db44-da90-4b58-888f-dace0dd538dc
Nick Kaminski I can't cheer for St. Louis, they knocked my Jets out in the 1st round. TBH I was hoping for a Winnipeg vs Toronto Finals but this year's series is pretty good.
ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ I was born and raised in STL, but I feel ya on why you gotta go for Boston. I had been meaning to look up the status on Chara, I just kept forgetting. That puck to the face was nasty man. I’m loving the Blues vs Backes rivalry we’ve got going on in this series!
3:42 That is Paul Kariya out cold after taking a blindside hit from Scott Stevens in game 6 of the Stanley Cup final. BTW, he came back to score the game winning goal. You will never see something like that again.
I love that my kid plays hockey. Lesson learned is: Hockey is life, and life is pain. No matter what happens, you get back up and keep playing.
There’s a number of reasons why Hockey has such violent collisions number one the game is about intimidation it’s about making your opponent concerned for his safety and his well-being number to the speed of the game and sometimes you inability to avoid another person because of your speed and the last and probably the more influential part is there is no Outabounds in hockey you can’t hide you can’t really run and of course you don’t want to be embarrassed in front of your teammates so sometimes you have to make the play and take the hit Luckily any hit that involves striking ahead is now an illegal hit. CTE is pretty significant in hockey since the 70s and the 80s are only recognizing it now in the 90s.
Hits like that are actually less common in the NHL because players are so good they barely ever make a mistake....on the other hand mistakes are almost always punished.
That’s hockey for ya.
Dude watch Bob Probert vs Ty Domi hockey fights. You should watch the game it's awesome. I'm Canadian tho lol the raptors rock too
I find it hilarious watching reactions to hockey. In Canada we start playing at 3 4 years old. We are just used to seeing and getting body checked. And no you don't body check at 3. That starts in your teens. But yeah it's just normal here. Fighting too.
Except for all the times you and your friends are out on the lake or the out door rink after school. You KNOW you lined up your buddy, laid his ass out then laughed about it for the next 3 days.
Best game on the planet
This game is not for the faint of heart!!!! I have played this gave for over 50 years and am still playing!!! Both players can be moving at 30 to 40 mph each.
Rule number 1 in hockey..... Keep your head up.
You need to do best hockey fights. Seriously tie dominoes vs brasher. Fight video please
Danielle Lilllian tie and bob round 2 was great
You should watch brawl in hockeytown from 1997 or the Good Friday Massacre between Montreal and Quebec back in the 80s.
Oh holmes, wait until you see the Malarchuk incident... You'll learn quick to stay away from flying feet on the ice.
Watch the beauty of hockey(the greatest game on earth) it will give you a good perspective of every aspect of the game.
there were a lot of brains in this video that said "what the fuck just happened?"
Dude, check out Kassian-Tkachuk hits and fight ... just happened recently ... that ought to bring you up to speed about hockey's game within the game ;)
when u said razors on their feet, necks cut, try the videos of Zhitnek and the one of Malarchuck. It is a very dangerous sport
You gotta check out top 10 greatest hockey fights. Hockey: the only game you beat someone's ass and you won't go to jail
You should watch the best fights and one of the videos they have on best NHL chirps. (Some of the chirping videos aren’t great compared to the good ones you just have to find the right one)
Gotta watch hockey fights now boss
You don't see these hits as much anymore. Refs have been calling it closer and many of these hits are considered charging. Lot of guys are now letting up in fear of getting a penalty
I tell you Hockey Players are some of the toughest and craziest MoFos out there
My guy look up the redwings v the avalanche rivalry from the 90s they played a 60 minute game with over 300 penalty minutes had a few line brawls (everyone fighting ) including 2 goalie fights and tons of blood . Or look up "you got kronwalled " if you just want to see people get destroyed . Or look up Bob Probert if you want to watch the best fighter in the history of the league
you gotta be starting watching hockey fan from Montreal
Most of those hits were in playoff games. Hockey is generally more tame in the regular season. You might see 1 or 2 hits like that a year until its all on the line.
Scott Stevens...hardest hitter ever in sports...NHL superstar
Not sure if it has been mentioned, but not all of those hits were legal in hockey... you're not allowed to hit a person from behind (crosschecking), especially into the boards (boarding penalties can be 2 minutes or 5 minutes major with the potential to be kicked out of the game). Hits to the neck and head are of course, subject to league disciplinary action (people have been given 10+ game suspensions).
A hit from behind is not crosschecking. Crosschecking is when you have both hands on the stick and your stick is more or less parallel to the ice and your stick is the point of contact for the hit. Any penalty can be a 2 minute minor or a 5 minute major or result in misconduct depending on the severity of the infraction. The line between minor and major is usually (but not always) whether blood is drawn.
The day hockey fans are born
UVA , what's up from Richmond
Gotta watch some Dustin Byfuglien!!
All of us kids grow up playing hockey in Canada..especially in Ontario where I am...and as kids we didnt hold back on the ponds,you got put on your ass all the time,just shake it off and get going...puck to the face?....you get laughed at first,then get attended to....lol
lol....come to Canada....this is how we relax dude...
:) canadians favorite sport, the roughest toughest sport there is and they love it. Thats got to tell you something hehehe.
Football is my favorite sport, but nothing better than playoff hockey. Just sucks they dont market it or talk about it as much in sports media.
I played hockey for 12 years, never played football. Its possible for hockey hits to be as painful as anything you'd get in football because of the speeds. I think it's more likely to hurt in football, though, just because its 100% friction and a lot of the guys weigh 260+ pounds. A lot of the common "big" hits in hockey, you're going the same direction and it hurts, but it's not too serious. A lot of the open ice hits, though, where you get dropped are like a guaranteed concussion, and in minor league hockey a hit from behind into the boards is more common, because the pros are generally trained very well not to hit from behind, because it's a guaranteed penalty, and you'll get the shit beat out of you if you do. Hit from behind, by the way, is imagine you're bent over 90 degrees with the top of your head against the wall. Then somebody hits you from behind and rams you head first into the wall. It sucks. My first hit ever, I accidentally creamed the smallest kid in the game from behind and he was like 4 feet from the boards. I just stopped playing at that moment and looked up at the hockey gods, then helped the kid up...
I played all my youth check out the hockey fights.
Unfortunately they don't hit like that anymore. Clint Malarchuck was a goalie for the Buffalo Sabers and he had his jugular vein sliced back skate and almost bled out
React to some sort of "dekes and dangles" video next so you see the skill side of the game too!
Welcome to our game. Can't wait till this virus shit is over I miss playing.
I always love to see peoples reactions to hockey if they have no experience with the sport..... It's really weird, most people know it's a sport but have never watched it........ Of course when they do they love it and are addicted ........ I have never met anyone that watched a hockey game and was like "that was boring" lol...... As a matter of fact the truth is the opposite - they say "this is so exciting" and of course they will claim what they were expecting was essentially wrestling or a play, but they got everything hockey is... And it's funny when after a game someone that is ignorant to hockey is like "I wasn't expecting that but what I just saw was awesome"........
There is no one on this planet that dislikes or hates hockey - there are only people who have never seen it.....
He should look at the Tory Krug hit from game 1 of this year's Stanley Cup finals.
