[KO121121v]

Italians Haha Hockey Players??? Ha Jock strap washers maybe!!!

[bukakee1]

ahhhh good old days of ESPN

[kbreezy2434]

and this is why your never team italy in NHL

[avalanchesuperstar]

So why exactly did Jari Kurri go to the Italian League for one year?

[Margann1987]

There are actually really good hockey players from Italy. Marco Insam played for the Notre Dame Hounds, followed by two great seasons with the Niagara IceDogs of the OHL. Michele Strazzabosco is a very talented defenceman who should be playing pro hockey in North America. and they have a great young goaltender named Andreas Bernard who plays for SaiPa in Finland. don't discredit them -- their program is really good there. Miran Schrott would have been a superstar -- RIP <3

damn... thats Sports Center 90's flashback

[whiplash505]

How the fuck did that kill him..?

[anonanon556]

@whiplash505

getting your chest smashed in with a stick? you know thats where your heart is, right? kind of an important thing to not have damaged

[RatBone09]

@whiplash505 probably stopped his heart, even punching in the chest can drop ya dead

[bikinico]

I love phisical play but ther should be no tolerance of disrespect

[hskates121]

@ariottothebest hockey's not stupid your stupid

[ariottothebest]

hockey is a very stupid and dangerous sport... that's why we don't play it..

[SOMEONEFROMNORWAY]

@ariottothebest: People have died or suffered serious injuries in other sports as well, so this doesn't make hockey stupid or dangerous - if so, then I could just as well call soccer a stupid and dangerous sport. Accidental hits or hits caused by acts of poor sportsmanship occurs not exclusively in hockey, but in all sports.

[ariottothebest]

@SOMEONEFROMNORWAY first of all, sorry for my bad english XD

That's a good point (that all sports are dangerous) but I think that it's different if you hurt yourself when you are playing or when you start a fight with someone... so, accidents are inevitable in sports, but I think that you haven't to hurt yourself in a so stupid way... injuries must happen only for accidents, and not for a stupid fight in my opinion...

[SOMEONEFROMNORWAY]

@ariottothebest: Collisions, hits and slashings are a part of the sport (it is a contact/collision sport, after all), and they wear protective equipment to limit the impact of this, but fighting is not tolerated. Yes, it happens from time to time, but most of the time the referees will stop the fight and give the players a penalty (depending on the situation) - same with attacks on other players that result in injuries.

And dont worry about the poor English - understood you completely. ;)

[ChristopherSaindon]

@ariottothebest Hey, your English is the Queen's English compared to many on the internet my friend :-) It was fine..

[Terminus92]

@rareflorence Umm...The Espositos were Italian, Mommeso, Todd Burtuzzi, Mike Cammelerie, Campoli, Carcilo, Jason Chimera, Colaiacovo...they all play/ed hockey in the NHL and there are many more...

[uberhaxor69]

[SleeCee]

@rareflorence they aren't, they seem to think that they are playing with a fucking pinata!

[928frogman]

@rareflorence very unusual, most of them drown in spring training! Sorry...

[nahpoli]

@rareflorence HEY ASSHOLE, ONE OF THE GREATEST GOAL SCORERS AND GOALTENDERS IN NHL HISTORY WERE ITALIANS, ESPOSITO BROTHERS, GO FUCK YOURSELF!!

[A7XzSIDEWINDERzA7X]

@nahpoli ya i agree and luca sbisa looks promising

[SubieGuy01GT]

@rareflorence ...dont be an ignorant prick, you make yourself sound stupid

[ButteredAlgae]

boni says he didn't hit him that hard but it clearly looks like a nice whack certainly doesn't seem hard enough to kill someone but what an unfortunate incident

[Raao1]

Just like when you are doing firs help with heart massage. The pushes on the chest can start the heart but also strong hit in that area can kill you ask the nijas.

[Shirokinukatsukami]

@Raao1

What is a "nija"?

I'd like an accurate definition please, not one based on popular culture.

[Scarffo123]

@Shirokinukatsukami I'm pretty sure he meant Ninjas. Early 15th century Ninjas often killed by hard hits to the chest, resulting in a cardiac arrest and subsequently death.

[Shirokinukatsukami]

@Scarffo123

Early 15th Century? Really? And who were these "ninjas" employed by? Why did mid or late 15th century "ninjas" not often kill the same way? What about "ninjas" from ealier centuries (or later)?

[CaptainMazda]

@Shirokinukatsukami

We're still just as awesome.

[Humperdink17]

@Scarffo123

Then why wouldn't a head on hit shoulder into their chest do the same thing?

[thezoan]

wow. what a shame.

[thinkingjack]

thats intense

[NHLHockeyfreak]

@THEUPSMAN88 He got cardiac arrest
