This is what I do. I hit people.

I find it very sad.  What is considered to be a "Big Hit" these days used to be the standard.  Where anyone NOT hitting that hard was a sissy girl.

Congratulations NHL.  YOU have pussified hockey.  

Until they change it back, I won't be watching Disney on Ice anymore.

Awe, come on tough guy. Admit it ~ some of those were such good hits that the boys were putting their hands over their faces afterward and calling for their Mommies.

Leading with an elbow will never be considered a big hit.  Unless you're a woman (literally).


NOT EVEN considering that they were cheap shots, they weren't that big of hits.

Am I the only one who thinks that the NHL has become a league for girly men?

I only saw one where it looked possibly cheap, but like I said it might be the angle.

Here's some for ya...  Not that big in a NFL sense, but the fact that these guys aren't wearing any pads...

Yes.

I think the frequency of hits is down because the puck carrier is really the only guy that can be checked anymore. I like the fact that hooking, holding, and interference are all being called more often. It makes for a faster game.

I dislike the fact that the NHL has become a league for girly men and children spectators. I'd like to see the nets removed at either end.

I guess I'm a total wimp then, because those looked like really hard hits.
Were the pictures posted from a real game, or were those from a movie?
