Check Out These HUGE NHL Hits - Video

I’m such a sucker for good, clean hits.  This was a good video and the song is perfect (language advisory to people who are easily offended by profanity).  I love it when people flip too and manage not to get hurt.  Can you imagine what that looks/feels like from the players’ perspective?  Hilarious.

TSN’s Top 5 Hockey Goalie Fights - Video

It’s not funny but there is something about a good goalie fight that not only excites me but also just makes me laugh.  Maybe it’s all the pads but it’s so much fun to watch (not that I’m advocating fighting, blah blah blah…).  Of course, there couldn’t be a collection of these without at least […]
