Ya know, just when you thought you’ve seen it all, you see a video like this that just puts you in your place.
I’m just going to come out and say it, 8 on white overreacted a bit. After taking a minor, MINOR, bump from the guy in yellow, 8 puts on his big boy pants and shoves the guy in yellow to the ground. Up until this part, I’m good with it. We have no idea what has happened earlier in the game, it could’ve been chippy, and the guy in white was just making his presence known. Once down, 8 bends over, picks up the puck, and fires a dart a the guy in yellow. Depending on what team you’re on, you probably have two reactions.
White team: I’d be fucking crying laughing on the bench. Number 8 is clearly your team psycho and it can always been fun when you see a guys wires cross a bit. 8 gets back to the bench, you laugh at him, call him a fuckin’ idiot, and continue on.
Yellow team: You have to beat the wheels off this guy, there’s no other correct reaction. You cannot possibly play an entire year and think you’re going to go on a championship run if you have guys on the other teams picking up pucks and throwing them at you and your teammates. What is a tough look can potentially be turned into a rallying cry for the boys in yellow.
What do you guys think?
