Also I think it's great that I started this conversation with talking about hockey in Scotland and now we're full circle with an obviously-Scottish-heritage player!

The names are all just a branding exercise, but US government departments have used Post-Millennials which I feel is appropriate because like Post-Modernism they're poo poo.

HEXTALL! Come for the violence, stay for him literally skating out of goal to attack a player later in the series for hitting one of his guys.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df2LrRgQZcM

I had Eddy Belfour to root for as a kid, so I know a bit about violent rear end in a top hat goalies. But a not so small part of me wishes that Hextall played for the Hawks at least one year. I'd rock that jersey forever. I honestly think if a halberd could stop pucks as well as a goalie stick then Hextall would have preferred it.

So, and I'm going from memory here, the trainer that ran out was Vietnam vet and reached into his throat and pinched his artery closed and held it until they could clamp it. Malarchuk also just wanted to get off the ice so he wouldn't die on TV so his mom wouldn't have to see it. On top of that the only emergency exit happened to be right behind them (you see them walk out) so he could get to an ambulance. Basically every single thing had to line exactly right for him to survive this. And he did.

This is also why every goalie now wears a "dangler" which is basically a swinging gorget.

Yeah he got a close save from a combat medic. Hockey wins for most violence. The skates, the high sticks umm punching dudes in the face

The only comparable thing in American sports was Joe Theisman

I think one thing that people in the UK would grudgingly have to accept is the toughness of the players.

Soccer you get guys clutching their shins in agony after a minor scrape from a tackle, meanwhile Patrice Bergeron is playing a 6-game championship series with a punctured lung and separated shoulder, and you get poo poo like Gregory Campbell having his shinbone shattered by a slapshot and still finishing his shift on the ice

like I don't even know how a soccer crowd would react to a nosebleed on the field or whatever, in hockey they take just advantage of a 10-second stoppage in play to scrape the blood off the ice which is pretty brutal

Soccer guys clutch their shins because FIFA keeps the game so backward that if they convince the ref for even 10 seconds that they're genuinely hurt it could literally be the difference between losing the match or getting big bonus payouts from their club for winning.
