Oh hell yea, back to the hockey! Love how into it Daz is especially.

[@adamsmashesrockscityfan]

im 12 and have lost teeth and have had multiple head injuries from playing hockey but i love it (I'm Canadian)

[@risksikrikak903]

hahahaha you sound like my brothers in the 70s playing street hockey in 30 below weather every night in the NWT.Get hurt ,get up and keep playing.There was no drama just straight up steet hockey rough and tough.

Atlanta used to have an NHL team but it was relocated to Winnipeg in 2011.

[@QuackAttack]

6:14 CONTEXT: During the 2nd round of the 2021 playoffs, Jake Evans of the Montréal Canadiens scored on the empty net to win Game 1 for the Habs... Mark Scheifele of the Winnipeg Jets came from the other side of the ice, saw Evans, and delivered this hit. When the rest of the Habs came to confront him (and rightfully so), he had this dumbfounded look on his face as if he thought what he did was somehow legal 🙄. Anyways, Scheifele had a hearing with the Department of Player Safety after the game and explained that he was trying to "negate a goal". Some Jets fans say this hit is "clean" but IF Scheifele really wanted to negate the goal, he could've reached out with his stick and knock the puck away from the next, but instead was completely fixated on Evans and made the head the main point of contact. It's difficult to see in real-time but Scheifele even stops skating for a moment to line up his hit on Evans. What made it even WORSE was that the game was on Evans' 25th birthday and although MTL won, he was stretchered off and did not return to play until the next round of the playoffs... Scheifele was subsequently suspended 4 games and MTL swept WPG to move on to the next round (luckily for Scheifele, he no longer had a target on his back after his team was eliminated).

Nashville Predators and Carolina Hurricanes (Raleigh, North Carolina) are the two closest NHL clubs to where you guys are traveling. As others have mentioned here, Atlanta used to have teams but they left.

[@mr.thung12]

We just lost a player last night to a high skate, Adam Johnson. Big hit, skate flew in the air, slit the poor guys throat. Very young guy. He played for Nottingham, and they were going against sheffield. Tragic

[@bobzyurunkel]

You’re not allowed to leave your feet or target the head when hitting a player. A lot of the highlights shown here resulted in penalties and suspensions.

[@coreyrees840]

Targeting the head is a more recent rule though. Head down man down is what we used to be taught. Responsibility was on the puck carrier to have his head up and on a swivel otherwise a Scott Stevens type was putting his shoulder on your chin and completely legal. Elbows of course have always been a different story

[@cyrusatkinson3307]

Yup, really a bad video to highlight "Hits"

[@damonx6109]

Atlanta currently does not have an NHL team. They've had 2 (Thrashers and Flames) but lost them both.

[@DerekHamby]

There are talks to bring hockey back to Atlanta, so we'll see what happens.

[@brosciencegutfeelings7058]

Atlanta used to have teams- The Flames , they moved to Calgary The Thrashers, moved to Winnipeg, became the Jets… 😬

[@hrussell9677]

Hockey players are amazing. They are not wimps. There was a player on the Boston Bruins who ended up breaking his leg but still went finished playing his shift. There is a long history of players who have broken ankles and legs but still continue playing. Hockey players look at athletes in other sports as babies who don’t know how to play through injuries.

[@Timmycoo]

Gregory Campbell. He was on the penalty kill and continued to block shots after breaking his leg.

[@RonanDahlman-ci1ql]

12:44 Atlanta? They used to have the Flames from 1972-1980, and the Atlanta Thrashers from 1999-2011. Now, they have the Atlanta Gladiators of the ECHL.

[@Telthar]

In the words of Don Cherry: "Keep your head up, Kid!"

[@cheryla7480]

The legal checks are the hip check and the shoulder check and you can only target the opponent between his neck and hip. Leaving the ice by jumping up into the player is illegal, targeting the head is illegal. There are other illegal checks and they require a penalty for the offending player.

[@Capydachi]

As someone who grew up playing hockey I can't even begin to describe what it feels like to take an unexpected hit from a 180+ pound person traveling upwards of 20-25 mph

[@shawny2scrawny]

*soul leaves body*

[@NatTurnerswitBurnerz]

Sounds like you didn't learned to keep your head up. You probably been concussed more times than you can count 😮

[@shawny2scrawny]

@@NatTurnerswitBurnerz I mean after years and years of play it’s bound to happen sometimes. Sui pass etc. I tried the FLYING V once in game like a troll and got absolutely destroyed in the lead of the V lol. Deservedly so. But it actually went to a mate behind and he scored so eh, it worked. About the concussions - I’ve been reflecting on that last few years and I think you’re right lol. That amount of times I’ve “forgot” some of the game….

[@japcar84]

The hit at 2:55, Washington Capitals vs. St. Louis Blues, was actually in a Preseason game which made it so much worse.

[@japcar84]

There will be a push for kevlar neck guards now. I don't think that they have to be bulky, it really could just be a Kevlar sleeve. This incident with Adam Johnson is a tradegy. I am a Pens fan and remember him. Everyone said that he was a good guy as well. He played alot for the Scranton-Wilkes Barre Pens (one step below NHL).

[@marcmainville7873]

The basic rule to remember on hockey hits is they need to be delivered with the trunk of the body (from shoulders to hips) to the trunk of your opponents body. If you use anything outside the trunk, like an elbow, or if you hit anywhere outside the trunk, like the head or the knees. It's probably illegal.

[@JPMadden]

At 1:22, that hit from 2006 was Brian Campbell on R.J. Umberger. Some fan produced an image of a can of "Campbell's Cream of Umberger soup." The hit at 6:05 was a dirty play by Mark Scheifele ("SHIFE-lee"), who is not generally regarded as a dirty player. He was frustrated that his team had allowed an empty-net goal, and he was suspended for it. When the gloves go flying like at 9:28, that is sometimes called "confetti gloves."

[@nathanviebranz9111]

Hockey world just lost a player in the EIHL 🇬🇧. Adam Johnson of the Nottingham Panthers died after getting his throat cut by a skate blade in a game against the Sheffield Steelers. Johnson had previously played in Augsberger (DEL 🇩🇪), Malmö (SHL 🇸🇪), Lehigh Valley, Ontario, and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL 🇺🇸🇨🇦). He also appeared in 13 NHL games for the Pittsburgh Penguins, scoring one goal and three assists. This will definitely get a discussion going about added safety for vulnerable points, such as the neck area and wrists. RIP Adam. It was supposed to be just like any other game.

[@gnarxy]

If you make a pass there's about a 1 second grace period after the puck leaves you that you are still allowed to be hit.

[@Games_By_Design]

Keep your head up and don't admire your passes

[@LancerX916]

Just remember, they did not start wearing Helmets until the 80s.

[@riff5fki]

A lot of these hits were penalized, for example one of them (wilson's hit on sundqvist) resulted in a 20 game suspension (reduced eventually to 14), but the general rule is shoulder to shoulder or a hip check are legal, no intentional contact to the head, don't leave your feet and don't charge into the hit.

[@lindaostrom570]

its such a fast game , react ,bloodlust, war.

[@Matt_4871]

Keep up the great videos! Especially with hockey. Highlights to check out would be Sunday (October 29th) will be an outdoor game at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton AB, between the Oilers and Flames 👍

[@jordanhayward7283]

Thing about the feet flying is so true. The EIHL saw a terrible tragedy yesterday during a game to former NHL player Adam Johnson, RIP, and it's atrocious how non hockey fans are calling it deliberate murder when in hockey unfortunately when you take a hit or lose your balance from a collision your feet can go flying and you lose control of them. Skate cuts aren't rare in hockey but they aren't super common. However deaths in general are quite rare when it comes to hockey, having a lower death rate than soccer/football.

[@jgwill]

If you are still going to Nashville the Predators are there and that would probably be a good game to go to. Atlanta's team moved to Winnipeg, but there is talk of expanding there again.

[@jessejee9192]

Hockey has failed in Atlanta twice and Canada has been there to scoop em up Atlanta Flames now Calgary and the Atlanta thrashes are the Winnipeg Jets 2.0

[@chriskazanas9941]

Just to put things in perspective. The average NHL player id 6 foot 1 and weighs 200lbs. They skate at about 23 mph so when two players are skating at each other the collision happens at betwenn 40 and 50 mph. Thats a lot of kinetic energy !!!!

[@imnotyourfriendbuddy1883]

3:16 RIP Adam Johnson 🐧

[@jd4577]

Players do get sliced by skates from time to time. BUT the scariest was when the goalie for Buffalo in the late 80’s got his jugular vein sliced in his neck !!! The only reason he didn’t die was because the trainer was a medic in Vietnam I believe & so he had experience with traumatic neck injuries.

[@ALMASTERFUNK]

Y’all should consider reaction to nhl playoff goals. There’s a number of good ones out there with no music. 🔥

Hockey hits i believe hurt more than a football hit, i think a study did the amount of force and impact and what obviously also adds the pain is the cold ass ice on the ground. It's just that hits like this is hockey aren't as common as in football. You could go shifts without getting hit like this

[@gracielynn9623]

Nashville and Carolina are the two closest teams to where y’all are going. Would recommend a game though disclaimer that it can be very difficult to see the puck from the stands.

[@thobur2661]

Most of these hits are a result of what we call suicide passes.

[@chriskazanas9941]

The rules for hitting are relatively simple. Anyone who ia touching the puck or is within a half second or so of having touched it is fair game. You must use the trunck of the body and you cannot hit the opponents head first. You also not.allowed to leave your feet while delivering the hit. Now if you leave your feet on the follow through of your hit then its leagal. If you hit the head of your opponent on the follow through then once again ita legal.
