Literally the first 25 seconds of this video, I thought ODog was asleep.
As adults, we don't get many chances to actually be competitive. I don't lay alot of body but I'm guilty of trying to block shots and make up for bad plays with hard backchecks. We didn't make the NHL but it's still fun to play the best you can.
Nothing wrong with blocking a shot, your the only one who can get hurt.
Those dbags trying to fight and chirping should go buy a sex doll to help that built up frustration
@@patolantern blocking a shot in mens league is as douchey as it gets..you're probably the guy that gets mad when he takes one in the face
whatever makes you feel better big guy
You are THAT guy. You are THE guy playing like there are scouts in the crowd. You are the cancer of men’s league. It’s all about being with the boys. Having a good time on the ice. The top priority is get thru the game without getting hurt so you can crush the beers waiting for you back in the room. YOU are the douchbag of men’s league.
Patrick Rosencrants don’t be a dink, you don’t even know the guy and made up story in your head from your experiences. Calm down don’t be a asshole
Craziest thing I ever saw on the ice was in mens league. My youngest brothers hockey coach knocked out the ref for breaking up a fight.
Sutton keswick men’s over 40 league only had one fight last year I believe. Not sure about the open age league, but fighting is rare. It did get stupid in midget and juvenile 30 years ago.
I live in Tennessee and go to see the predators games and I can tell you first hand that the crowd participation is absolutely amazing and it helps bring the fans closer to the team .great for the sport.
That ices the game for your team! Empty netters are as important as even strength goals
realest convo these guys have ever had. respects.
I think this is way cooler than filling air time with fabricated bs Leafs storylines...that nonsense about Kapanen over the weekend was lame. If there's a lull, I'm much happier to hear these guys discuss an off topic like this one.
Exactly why spittin chiclets is taking over
I get laughed at wearing a birdcage but in at least 4 instances I would have lost teeth
Randy Marsh IMO, anybody laughing at a cage is a moron. Plain and simple. "Oh, you are concerned about your safety in a sport with a lot of potential harm". Yeah, I'm not an idiot and a bunch of you cage-less morons run around thinking you're pros and I want to keep my fucking teeth lmfao.
Getting hit in the mouth with a puck is only worth it if you're a millionaire playing in the NHL. If you're in a men's league and you're mocking guys for wearing a cage then you're a moron.
@@BasePuma4007 I mock the guys who wear them and then act like morons themselves. I would never mock someone for wearing a bird cage for safety, heck my buddy played a year in the NHL and the rest of his career as a pro and even he wore a bird cage as long as possible in jr, but a lot of guys who wear them lack respect in terms of other peoples safety based on their own feeling of being protected. Or they genuinely can't control themselves or stick because they suck.
ah yesss, the beer league warriors. My favourite kind of people
i usually play in competitive div mens leagues... but i subbed for a lower div and lost 3 teeth, while i was breaking the puck in their zone on a powerplay (skating fast through the blue line), and a guy flat footed high sticked me straight in the grill....puck was 6 feet on the side away from him.
I can’t play a board game without chirping... much less men’s hockey... lol
Funny and friendly keeps it interesting.
Who is the quiz master and why am I not aware of this meme!?!?!
"Grabner scored 40 goals one year"... Grabner put up 34 goals his second season in playing for the Islanders.. and they were most likely a product of lining with Tavares. He hasnt ever come close to touching 40 goals.
Grabner plays D ,his ENer's product of his hard work,my point is he's not out there waving his arms leg humping for free goals...5×5 hes a 20 goal scorer,all the while playing the PK and taking on the hardest defensive assignments,years he struggled offensively he was injured, loved him on the Rangers
Good episode
I like this set better than the one they are using now. Just looked so....sporty! Now it is just a studio, but doesn't even look like a sports set.
Only 10% its at least 75% here in calgary. In seven games, 5 of them have had a fight in it
If we're gauging the level of difficulty of goals scored, then we gotta differentiate between 5-on-5 goals and powerplay goals cuz it's clearly easier to score when you have the man advantage against the opposing team...
I had the chance to play in a Finnish celebrity team (Pietarinkadun Oilers) with a lot of former NHLers for a few seasons - we had the best ice time (10:00AM or 7:30PM) and the best location. If we didn't have 2'000 NHL games and a few Stanley Cup rings on the ice - then it was a slow morning/evening - and what O and Noodles say rings correct even here in Europe. A lot of mediocre players seem to think they are playing for the cup on a rainy Tuesday morning when not even their girl friends are watching and think they have to skate 30 miles above their personal speed limit - meaning completely out of control. We at least had no fights - because the opponents knew - if you touch one of our big guys - it's lights out - period!
I enjoyed the team only practice games so much more than the league games where you were looked at as a moving trophy because you are in the same team as # 17or #10... when these guys were on the ice - even I could score goals because an amateur cannot imagine the timing and the precision of a former NHLer passing to you!
I feel like an empty net goal counts more than ones that bounce off 3 guys and go in
70 percent of men's league games here in Hamilton have fights in them.. :p
I use to hang out a double dumps in the mid 90's as a kid watching my uncles lol
Bunch of stelco and dofasco guys that can scratch from work the next day lol. Loved playing Barton tho
My experience with professional hockey players in men's league or shinny or whatever (name the league or level) is they don't even need to try. They can't just coast around and their hockey IQ is so far above mine they just look awesome without being awesome. Oh, and they make you look awesome too.
Why is he called the O dog, is it because of the O in donuts?
no the O in hot dogs
Brian Middleton hilarious...
Why are you chirping? It's Tuesday at Midnight.
Brilliant.
Looks like they’re keeping J. Oniel from browsing the internet
Grabner is an under-rated player! Always has been...
I wish he could play for a competitor. Maybe win a cup somewhere...
nah, he had one good season for the Isles, thats it, soft as marsmellow
@@faunbudweis what I mean is the guy is cheap, he never costs very much and he put in at least 15 goals. That is an easy 3rd line player that is a veteran who can teach younger players.
Soft? Isn't the whole league soft now? Aren't they all marshmellow's? o.0
@@PRYVTgomerPYLE ye, in that respect he is alright, he has been a solid penalty killer too, but nothing more than your average 30-40pts guy
@@faunbudweis Yeah by no means is he ever going to be a superstar... That opportunity has passed him by. I do not think he will ever get a shot on a contender either... Would be cool to see after he played for so many teams, mostly bottom feeders.
its basically real life fight club in canada.
They all count. And so should the game winning shootout goal. It goes up on the board but doesn't go to the player's goal total?
Try being a goalie in the A mens league. I cover the puck and so many sticks are chopping me it's like i'm a pinata.
Who the hell is this Quizmaster?
Steve Dryden
If they count as a goal, it's a goal.
This is hilarious.
this is a necro but theres a fight every night i played in mens league lol
Think I’ve seen 2 fights in 180 games.
Forget mens league ice hockey for a second .. anyone here ever play ball hockey ?? In toronto it's a fucking zoo , guys hacking and begging for fights everywhere. When I was 22 my dad came to one of my games and was shocked to see a guy his age basically attack me from behind begging for a scrap... he got his scrap but man at the end of the day we all have work the next morning...
How does " O Dog" tie his skates?
Brian He gets drunk and screams at somebody to do it for him.
With cheeseburgers and a coke on the side.
Same way he orders at Mc D's
Velcro
Come on you can't totally be surprised by the attitude of these plugs? Many who grew up with NHL aspirations still hold onto the dream and play out their fantasies in the beer leagues and some do go way to far. I was scouted as a young goalie and even received a letter of intent at the OHL level but blew a knee out shortly after, not an uncommon story. years later I played in pick up leagues and games in the GTA and was often on the ice with one or more former NHLers and even then they often outclassed us with either their skating or puck control but I never had the urge to pound them into the boards, not that I could catch them!
you are way off on your 10% figure. beer league is probably more like 20%. closed shop games are totally different but beer league - there's usually at one guy per team (i've played on teams with 3+ that is "that guy".
“3 kids” hahaha
I like how amazed these men are that people actually play hockey for fun. “A dust up!? And you aren’t being paid millions?!
TIL if you're not in the NHL, you're not allowed to be competitive. sigh...competitiveness is not reserved only for the highest elite.
Had a buddy who was a complete nut job. Ref made a couple bad calls on him. His 3rd penalty of the game he turns around and takes a clapper at stripes lol banned for life
First.
Love the show boys.
TY JEFF!!
I love this argument.
Usually from people who never got to the NHL.
Second, Ive played in a men's league for a very long time, & yeah, some of the guys are brutal. We usually kick them out quick cuz they're douchebags lol but we still count empty netters, because they count.
Empty net goals are some of the most difficult shots to make, especially long range. If this was an issue, should we discount the skills it took for Ron Hextall or Martin Brodeur to score? Please. They all count, period.
Quizmaster, you're an idiot. Oh, btw?
Jeff O'Neill: 821gp, 237goals, 259 assists, 496 points, in the NHL.
Quizmaster: how many for you in the NHL again?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Jim Draven And how many of those goals were tap-ins? O'Neill should have to hand half his lifetime salary to Ron Francis lmfao
@@longliverocknroll5 ROFLMAO YES! Well said sir!! (Francis was epic) still, deflection goals are still goals, & he scored more than I ever have lol
You spoke with Chris bassist 2 times weird seems like it you have Frankie? Reality tv I'm starting to get turned off
Like The Dust Up
If an NHLer were in my league I wouldn’t give two fucks if he started dangling everyone on the ice, I don’t care!! That’s cool so what if you get dangled by a former pro... it’s fun to watch and play with. I guess my only problem would be if he would hog the puck like crazy otherwise it makes it better as far as I’m concerned
Fire Babcock
It's dumbazz 0 dog Jeff O'Neill
Does O'Neill have a tattoo on his neck?
ryan smith got fucking wrecked
O clog was always more suited for men's league what a bum
I've got a couple of scars on my face from being clipped wearing a visor in men's league. Guy taking a clapper from the point with a bunch of traffic in front. Idiot.
jeff o neill is the worst
Lame as hell man
Lower rung is worst. Chirping,dirty play,fights, NHL wanna be. But higher up the stick work is tougher an faster but no goon type bullshit
Please spare me of this nonsense...You make it sound like you are putting your life at risk playing Rec hockey. Honestly you guys should be embarrassed. I played for 25 years even against a freshly retired Doug Botcher for awhile and it was all good. The odd minor thing happened but not to the degree you have portrayed. Totally ridiculous.
