Here's Some Videos To Remind You Why Hockey Is Awesome.
Every week, until this dumb lockout ends, I will give you guys some of my favorite hockey highlights, hockey porn as Michelle and Joseph like to call it. I will admit, I am very heavily biased towards Red Wings highlights but, here we go...
Video One:
Football (soccer) announcers are dubbed over hockey highlights. It makes me laugh every time, I think it's the Bernini sculpture reference. You should laugh too :)
Video Two:
This one's for Michelle. She loves Loui Eriksson, I have to agree. He's one player I would give up a lot for. Debate me if you want, I'm open to all hockey discussion.
Video Three:
This one is in Swedish but it's a great Kronwall-ing. I really miss this. If you can, look at the guy on the bench, his face is priceless. If you can't see it, I'll give you a picture. I wish we could see this on Detroit ice soon... |
| Ouch! Look at the guy on the left... |
Video Four:
This is probably my favorite "Jimmeh!" moment from the last few seasons... Kopitar penalty shot is denied by Howie and Howie just throws the puck away, like nothing happened. Jimmy Howard is a beast and I love Jimmy Howard, that's all I got to say about that.
Video Five:
Stick tap to Winging It In Motown for letting me know this exists... Datsyuk had a hat trick in the Russia vs. Czech game in the Channel One Cup. His first goal is great (2:30ish), his second goal is great (5:20ish), his third (8:00) made me laugh because someone thought it was a good idea to pass cross ice with Datsyuk on the ice. News flash: It's not -- He'll score 9.9 times out of 10.
Well, until next week... Those are my five.
One piece of advice: if you truly miss hockey as much as I do, there are other places to find it than the NHL. Go to a few AHL games, it's the same game and it's just as much fun or more :)
Go Red W... Oops, Go Griffins!
