More adult league shenanigans

_{Wow, the both of you are actually advocating taking guy's knees out and directly intending to injure someone else? Classy dudes.}

not exactly. i am talking more about the NHL.

dont you think that guys like holleweg who consistently try to injure or even paralyze guys are doing it already? the reason he was able to keep doing it was because nobody tried to stop it.

I don't think trying to injure someone is a good thing, but when it happens to guys that do it to others for a living, I certainly don't feel sorry for them.

[pizzakid13 5]

agreed.

we eliminated a team from the playoffs and with 10 seconds left, some 6'3" 220+ lb guy hit me flat in the back into the boards, hit my upper lip on the bench. fortunately i just suffered a small cut. also i should mention, i am a tiny 5'5" asian at 150 lbs. we're playing in a tier 10 out of 11 div. dont mean to brag but im one of the better players averaging about 2pts a game (playing low div with a bunch of friends that are new) so it was definitely targeted

what i hate most about it is because they were eliminated from the playoffs, theres really no suspension, and fines are only handed out for fights. pretty ridiculous when at least in a fight i'd have a chance to defend myself and this boarding could have paralyzed me. after the game i saw him standing outside the locker room by himself and i said good game (not in a sarcastic manner), and asked why he did that and he said "i was playing the puck"

sorry if this was offtopic

Ugh.

Sounds like a horrible injury in the OP. I hope the stick swinger gets charged with something.

When ever I see stuff like this, I always think of a D-bag who was (and maybe still is) in my D league. I am someone who started playing in my mid-20s, so I know I am not good, but this guy is/was a huge fat guy who could barely skate, and just throws his weight around on the ice. Well, there was a mess in front of the net, our goalie was on his back and the puck landed right on the goalie's crotch. This guy starts jabbing at the puck as the whistle is blowing. One of our better D players grabed the guys stick and asked him:

"What the hell are you doing?"

D-bag "Anything for a goal."

There are tons of guys out in men's league with that mentality. And like someone else mentioned, they have that Vegas idea about actions on the ice. "Leave it all on the ice" does not mean, play like a dick and shrug it off.

This kind of stuff also helps he justify high end protective equipment.
