All sport is proxy warfare and this is why hockey is the best sport, because its bloodlust is honest.

A PTSD rattled Vietnam vet who calmly walked up, stuck his hand into the dude’s neck and pinched the artery while moving him off. Also, the fact that he lived was down to the trainer being on the near side to the accident. If he was on the other bench he would’ve died.

Circling back to this post for the "hockey players are insane machines" to note that during this series, Patrice Bergeron was playing (and playing well!) with a broken nose, a separated shoulder, 2 broken ribs and a punctured lung Also these: https://twitter.com/JoshYohe_PGH/status/874139550108536833 https://twitter.com/ItsCanadasGame/status/874112390438178816 https://twitter.com/NeewYorkRangers/status/343313087203528705?s=20

I can only suspect drugs are involved. Else this is going to escalate to players who won games while decapitated.

Also a reminder that goalie masks, aka "the sole layer of protection between an 80-mph disc of solid rubber and your face" didn't start seeing use until the late 50's. The NHL started in 1917. Hell, helmets in hockey weren't mandatory until 1979 and they still left in a grandfather clause so the older players could choose to keep playing without them.

I can get the argument for football helmets and pads making the sport more dangerous, but hockey players are always getting hit in the face/head with sticks/pucks and there's no way around it. Even before all the big pads there were people laying out in front of slapshots to block the shot.

That may actually be the case for football, since helmets don't do a lot to prevent concussions but having them makes players more likely to lead with their head. In hockey, where there's a frozen piece of rubber zipping around, absolutely not. Even the helmet+visor is still risky, I remember seeing someone get a puck to the face from an errant slapshot and it completely shattered his eye socket. He's lucky he didn't go blind.

I loved that one either Toxx or Mod Challenge that ended with someone having to post about their Rival Team being the best football team ever, i want to say 10k times? something like that? after their favorite team lost. I remember they started going all over the forums and eventually wandered into a "help with relationships" thread in E/N and were explaining to someone that their boyfriend was just having trouble committing, unlike Rival Team who were 100% committed to winning and being the best team in history. A mod eventually gave them a reprieve for having more than completed the spirit of the arrangement.

The first hockey game I saw live was match between the Kingston Frontenacs and the Peterborough Petes, and the grudge match between these two elite teams was so intense that a petes player got bodyslammed through the glass around the boards and showered the front row in plexiglass shards. An older guy with a shaved head got wheeled out on a stretcher because it shredded his scalp and they were mopping blood as the game continued. Good sport.

Are bans also affected by the same disease that makes archived posts randomly disappear?
