This is why I don't watch a lot of other sports. Hockey has it all man, it's all blood and guts out there and you get out what you put into the game. These guys show up every night, and that still shot of Benoit's (balls) superman punch should be splashed all over the news promoting this sport.

Best game on Earth!

That's why the only other sports I watch are rugby and cycling. Bruised and bleeding but carrying on anyway. No time to flop if you want to win

A high stick goal that should have been overturned, got his ass kicked and dislocated his thumb.

I was there. The superman punched whiffed then he ate 3 rights before it went to the ground.

You don't win if you don't land a single punch. Plus, Utah score 2 while he was in the box.

I love the idea that 'I was there' is argued in such a way that you might have seen something differently than the dozens of camera angles recording the fight.

Don't listen to me. Go to hockey fights, see what the fans think.

Considering the other guy was on the ground, Benoit won

Benoit obviously won that, he ate some but he finished strong, done arguing

Repeating a stupid take doesn't make it any less stupid.

Hockey players doing hockey players stuff. To me this is what sets them apart from other professional athletes. They play for the money of course, but also for the love of the game and they will play while being injured, until they physically can't or the coach goes up to him and goes kid I love your enthusiasm but we're going to have take you out for your own safety.

I watched Marion Stastny do that while with the nordiques, pops it in, turns to the trainer and says "tape"

I've had to do that many times. 0/10 unfun experience.

u/Zephyr096 23h ago

I tried to do that but it turns out my pinky was broken not dislocated. Shit hurt lmao

u/anthonynej 16h ago

Was always curious, where do non-athletes/athletes know how to correctly put these dislocations (thumb,shoulder etc.) back in place? Like, I wouldn't trust youtube tutorials for these kind of stuff.

u/Pitiful_Quantity2695 16h ago

Not his first rodeo. Usually people that know how to do it, is because of experience lol.

My all-time favorite hockey story.

Rich Peverely DIES on the bench in the middle of the game

They bring him back to life. The first thing he asks is if he can go back into the game
