Yes they do it in practice with raymond's stick between their legs, his head in their crotch, legs wide, and 3 feet away from the boards.
And you're supposed to just undo yourself from that and hockey stop within what, 2 seconds? good luck with that.
Ignore the replays, they're in slow-mo. First 10 seconds. The guy stumbles, somehow gets in this submissive position, and its not even a second or two before they hit. And you're telling me "oh dude, he should have just hockey stopped." fuck you. You have no idea what you're talking about.
1) If his legs were closer he'd be tripped up by raymond's stick trying to stop. 2) he had just finished trying to play the puck and was off balance 3) its kind of hard to stop when a guy's helmet is between your legs 4) no you
fyi this is what a real dirty hit looks like
2) Boychuk did not try to play the puck. He went to play the body.
triple is hoping on the boston bandwagon at the last possible moment
classic
um, did you see how the play even developed? The puck got shot into that corner and both players wouldn't even be in that position unless they were both trying to play it.
I live in massachusetts, and you? Its not my fault our teams kick ass.
do you have eyes
seriously
do you have eyes
seriously
So in your 14 years of hockey you've never played a puck coming off the boards
how'd that go
I guess these nhl pros have no idea what they're doing
