Mindphux grabbed my attention again. I can see where you say being hit in the head/face area is not the most dangerous aspect of the game.

Most players who are missing teeth in the NHL actually lost them via a stick. Not a fist or puck, but a stick. There have also been players to get head checked in boards a lose teeth.

Look at Alex Ovichekin....dude is missing one tooth, and its kinda knarly to say the least, but dude still picks up tons and tons of hot hot momma's :)

None the less good posts mindphux!

Cricket balls hit 120MPH bowling and 350mph when hit. If you know about physics you will understand that they will have about 4-8 times the power of a hockey ball. They weigh about the same as cricket balls, 5 and a half ounces but they are not rubber.
The trouble with America is the 'sue everyone' mentality that is destroying proper sports. In England, we get a smack in the mouth, lose a few teeth and get on with it.

Can anyone tell me what a "hockey ball" is? Never seen the pro's play with anything but a puck. It does have many alias, none of which are a ball.

It was 1964. In Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings, Leaf defenseman Bob Baun fell to the ice in excruciating pain after blocking a slap shot off his ankle late in the third period.
Baun was carried off on a stretcher and was presumed to be out for the remainder of the series. During the intermission, Baun refused to have his ankle X-rayed. Instead, he insisted it be frozen and, miraculously, he skated out for the overtime session.
The Maple Leafs, facing a three games to two deficit at the time, were in need of a hero to keep their Stanley Cup dreams alive. At the 1:42 mark of overtime, Baun drilled a shot from the point that beat Detroit netminder Terry Sawchuk, giving the Leafs a Game 6 victory. Inspired by his heroics, the Leafs easily won Game 7, 4-0, giving the team a third consecutive Stanley Cup victory.

It was not until after the series that it was discovered Bob Baun had scored that overtime winner on a fractured ankle.

Even the linesmen have to be tough in hockey.

Man I got to hand it to the linemen who took a mean shot to the beak. I have to applaud his discipline to not lose his professional sense and start wailing away. For myself, If put in that situation I would have to say that if he is giving free shots to the face well then he can take a free shot or two in return :) Great Job by the Linesman!!

I didn't mean bounce off the ground. I meant off the bat. I agree cricket is boring but you don't see too many hockey pucks going 300 yards. As for physics, Force=MassxAcceleration so a ball doing only 200MPH (a VERY low speed in cricket from batters) is 4x the power of a puck (ball) doing 100MPH. And in England, we call it a wusses game. We have ice hockey here too but go for the laugh in the same way as we watch 'pro-wrestling'. It's very funny entertainment but seen in the way it's meant. A spectator game. Hence it's become a girls thing here. As a point of interest the weight of the ball (puck) is linked to the weight of a cricket ball as they were both invented by the british. My source of information? I am an ex winning county-cricket and county-winning hockey groundsman. I only wish I could reveal my identity but it's not apt to do so on this site.

That's fair enough. I will let you have that all day. BUT, remember, just cause your ball goes faster and further than my puck has NOTHING to do with the fact that I COULD, IN HOCKEY, KNOCK YOU OUT, Just cause ...pick a reason lol...it won't matter.
p
Moreso, **cough cough bullshit

Oh Also, BALL DOES NOT = PUCK, so Puck(doe'nt mean ball like you are suggesting in your post).

Lastly, I source wikipedia : Most Common Injury in Cricket : Hamstring....,.. Most Common Injury in Hockey : Concussion Hmmmmmmm Interesting....Oddly enought the most common injury in BOWLING is HAMSTRING....Bowling and Cricket have a lot in Common!

AS OVIE would Say: No body gets better at hockey by bowling :)

Let me guess your also a weekend astronaut and a avid lover of water polo?

Considering you don't seem to know the difference between MPH and KPH, I don't believe a word you say regardless if you claim to be someone I could actually look up. As for your physics, you mention f=ma but mentioned "power" previously which is force applied over time. You then switch from the speed of the bowler to the speed of the ball leaving a bat, again, much different then dropping to block a shot 2-3 feet away from a guy winding up for a 100 mph slapshot. Why not compare cricket to baseball. In fact, why didn't you take my advice and start your own thread. It's bad enough you think you would be able to slide your way past the physics, hoping I actually don't know it well enough to catch your bullshit but I should report your post for trolling. You are in a thread in which we are discussing hockey. Keep your discussion to hockey please. It's really the only courteous thing to do. RIU is getting really bad rep because mods aren't alway that helpful removing posts by obvious trolls like yourself but believe me, keep it up and I promise you will get what's coming to you.

That gave me some lulz. :)
All the way with what? Not this season my friend. I assume you haven't been following.
"The Leafs have won two in a row and are six points out of eighth, but it might as well be 60."

Carlyle is going to need more than a few weeks to work them into a competitive team. A lot of people are saying that Burke needs to go.

I am in no way a fan of the Canucks. Hence why I asked "who???" I do wish that you enjoy your suspension you dirty duncan! Keep ya elbows to yourself while on the ice~:clap:

That was a first ever offense, should have been 3 games, but the Canucks decided to press the issue. This sort of stuff is happening more frequently since the league cracked down on fighting.

Most common injuries through cricket are hamstring injuries? LOL. That's based on www.physioroom.com/sports/cricket/1_cricket_injuries.
Remember, Wikipedia is not the be-all and end all. It's only what is written by people such as ourselves. Very strange that it's written by physiotherapists.
Do you honestly believe that more people in cricket are injured by stretched hamstrings thanimpacts on the opinion of physios?
It's like saying that more motorcyclists are injured by exploding tyres than crashes based on an article by GOODYEAR.
1 mph is approx 1.6 kmh. Common knowledge, even for schoolboys and I won't even lower myself to reply to the question that I wouldn't know that.
MP, I apologise if I have offended you, that was not the intention but force and power are, by definition, the same thing.
If you choose to use your 'force' as an administrator against me, then so be it. I won't be losing any sleep over it! It will be unfortunate for those on here to whom I give advice but, not my loss.

Though I suppose it doesn't really count when it's on Matt Cooke...

I don't know how you can defend that hit. It was just about as bad as the Wisniewski hit on Seabrook, where afterwards you probably didn't have a problem with the 8 game suspension that was handed out.

Yeah he has had previous issues with throwing the elbow. This is not his first offense and hence the punishment. Kieth is kinda like Pat Kaleta...Good player but has bad tendencies that are looked at as sly.


Why is this guy going on and fucking on about cricket in A FUCKING HOCKEY THREAD....TAKE YOUR CRICKET CHICKLET ASS THE FUCK OVER TO THE CRICKET FORUM><. FUCK THATS RIGHT THERE IS'NT ONE!

Fucking Cricket players....No wonder the shit is about as popular as water polo.
