Taylor Hall, who is expected to be either the 1st or 2nd overall pick in this years NHL draft, shows a bit of why he has what it takes to play this sport. After this hit he never misses a shift &amp; continues to finish the game. He's just 17 in this clip a looks to have a great career in the NHL if he doesn't get creamed on a continuous basis. <img src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/thumbsup.gif" width="25" height="18"><br><br><br>

I've said before, Hockey players make every other sport their biatch. Football, wishes these guys played their game, anything else is laughable. Oh, I pulled a hammy- is never spoken in that sport.

The Windsor Spits (spitfire's) just repeated as Memorial Cup Champs..the top Jr A Team in Canada. <br><br>
Watch and remember Taylor Hall..whoever drafts that kid will become an instant contender if they already aren't.

I love watching NHL Hockey during the playoffs!!!<br><br>Nothing better in my opinion...<img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_thumbsup.gif"><br>

typical goon hit, wasn't even playing the puck, do that in the bigs and see the retaliation that follows as you get a face full of knuckles!<br><br>
Could've really ended his career with a hit like that, some day they will go to the untouched icing rule...someday.<br><br>

"I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out"</blockquote>Actually that statement belongs to <em><strong>all</strong></em> sports as a whole but <em><strong>the</strong></em> tough man's sport gets the rap. <img height="20" src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_sharpteeth.gif" width="20"> <img height="20" src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_bigsmile.gif" width="20"><br><br>

Please!!!! Football players are way more tuff than Hockey Players. Even some Tennis players are more tuff than Hockey players. Or should i say Fighters, since a Hockey game broke out at the fight i went too! lol.......

Not only in the physical part of the game but most hockey players aren't genuine a-holes like most other sports combined. Obviously, you've never played either sport or else you'd have a clue? <img src="http://forums.gottadeal.com/images/smilies/sidesplit.gif" width="30" height="18"><br>

Played both competitively at a high level and I can tell you the collisions in hockey are way harder, football you can sense it, and even prepare for the collisions. In hockey half of the time you never see it coming. Toughness, I've never ever heard of a football player taking 96 stitches to the mouth from a frozen piece of vulcanized rubber hitting him square in the chops and get this, returning to play the entire 3rd period. Hockey players have knee surgeries and skate w/in 2 weeks and often play inside three. Football players break a pinkie and are on the IR and out for the year. Again toughness wise they are both hi level, but I'll give it to the hockey players in overall bad ass tuff as nails he men!<br><br>

I suppose if you narrowly define "toughness" as enduring physical violence...

You can try and come up with all the excuses and angles you want. Hockey is no way. I'll repeat it for you so you can read it better. HOCKEY IS NO WAY TUFFER THAN FOOTBALL! Oh yes i did play all of these sports and i was very good at them. So i think i does know a little bit about what's i'm talking about. Does and what's done on purpose. Now say good nite Cananda!!!

Now that is funny...<br><br><blockquote>pro flag football league or no-check broom hockey league &amp; watch the ticket sales go through the roof.</blockquote>
