Sorry for the YouTube overload but I found this hilarious.
The commentators are appalled at one guy elbowing the other guy in the face … in a sport when they’re allowed stand toe to toe and punch each other repeatedly in the face.
It was a good elbow though.
Not in the same league as my video !
Ice Hockey – for big girls blouses. Any pub darts team , especially the ladies teams – could take them.
Sure – the hard men in the Irish Pubs. Sure. ’tis a wonder anyone survives the epic battles at all….
I heard on Bloomberg that the Americans are getting ready for the big depression, the top selling commodities for the past week were, Guns, Gold, and Spam, the eating type(not the stuff that fucks up the computer, I expect in Ireland we’ll have to do with, Hurley sticks, Galvanized iron, and Black Puddens.
Hey Twenty
In Hockey when two guys get into a fight they are facing off with each other, and you can only use one hand to hit the other guy with the other hand you use to hold onto the guy you’re beating the hell out of and he is doing the same the reason for that is you have got to keep on your feet cause you basically got two knives on your feet that can kill someone in a few seconds. A player a couple years ago got he neck slashed open and almost bleed to death on the ice.
Anyway a 190+ pound guy flying down the ice guy ice as fast as he can blindsides a guy with en elbow to the head can kill a guy, all players have hard plastic elbow pads on to protect them from slamming into the boards and the ice.
So yeah a fight is one thing fucking trying to take a guys head off is another.. and I would love to see maggot on the ice in an NHL game and get hit by anyone of these guys after they pick his brains up off the ice I’m sure he would be doing real well in his pub dart game all drooling on his big blouse for girls

Heh – it’s great to see the Plastics get upset when anybody disrespects their silly games !
The Finn was Finnished off ??
And yeah maggot stick to your hurling whatever the fuck that is.
Hockey is fucking massive!Well fit fellas knocking shite out of each other at high speed while I drink? How bad?
It’s also a game where your average bloke can afford tickets.
I’m guessing that HalifaxDave is Canadian so a word of caution to Maggot.
Never,ever talk shit to a Canadian about hockey.They’ll fuck you up.
I did once.Look what they did to me?
Ha, funny, Hangar Queen!
Hockey is an incredibly passionate game. Altho some fighting is “allowed” to keep players in check, dirty hits are completely looked down by all. GO SHARKS!
Did the Hansen Brothers get some ice time after that, and Reggie Dunlop?
Never,ever talk shit to a Canadian about hockey.They’ll fuck you up.
Canadians? I’ve shit ‘em !
( Long Good Friday, wonderful film !)
I’ve seen ice hockey in Canada, it makes a vicious hurley match look like Swan Lake at Convent Garden.
I love people punching each other. I just find it hard to separate the punching and the elbowing.
Like punching ?
Greatest Boxer thread then – How about Calvin Klein ?
Fuck ice hockey. I like it but get with shit that matters.
Like Rugby HM ?
Poor Wales – how could they let the French off the hook ?
Or Cricket ? That’s a man’s game!
Hey Twenty,
I’ve been reading your blog ever since you got a shout out from Maxi Cane (he came third to your first on a google for ‘cunt’ by the way), but hadn’t felt compelled to comment ’til now. I read the above comments and see Halifax Dave waded in ahead of me.
As a former hockey playing Canadian I will say there is a big difference between a thrown elbow and toe to toe punch outs (and I neither condone nor see the point of the punch outs either).
The most vicious elbow I ever saw was one thrown by Mark Messier when the Russian Central Red Army was over playing exhibition games against NHL teams. Messier surely gave that Russian a “welcome to the NHL and welcome to Canada”. I was unable to find a youtube clip of that shot, but this one is only a bit less vicious:

But, in fairness, Messier was more than an elbow shot to the head:

I do enjoy reading your blog by the way.
Alberta Rob
that was nasty.
yeah I’m an Cunak Hanger Queen :) and I must say that I’m not sure exactly what Maggot was getting at calling me a “plastic” Is that some kind of Irish slag against Canadians? IF it is LOL the Americans do a much better job persoanly I’m fond of Upper Mexicans or Igloo Fuckers LOL but “plastic”? Okay Maggot it’s funny to see a Tin Foil slag someone elsess game
The dogs were playing rough in a big group last night on the sheet of ice in the tennis court. I warned that they couldn’t really fight on the ice as they weren’t hockey players. The locals thought it was funny.
Meh.
@HalifaxDave
I imagine its a reference to “Plastic Paddy” although I could be wrong.This is often levelled against people of Irish descent (usually American) who land in Ireland buy an Aran jumper and drink Diet Coke in the pub.
The person making this accusation is sometimes wearing a green foam rubber top hat with a fake ginger beard(both made in China) and dripping with righteous parochial condescension.
I love people punching each other. I just find it hard to separate the punching and the elbowing.
You punch with your fist which is on the end of you arm and you elbow with your elbow which is half way up your arm. Do this help?
Cram it, Peadar.
