I Love YouTube: Hockey Talk

Hockey fever's runnin' rampant around here, as teams other than the Toronto Maple Leafs vie for playoff domination. These men, these heroes, they give their all, every ounce of effort wrung from their broken, concussed bodies. Their stories go largely untold, mostly because they have real problems communicating effectively. Many are from places like "Slovakia", and even the ones that do speak English seem to mostly just be speaking "hockey".

Here are my favourite moments of hockey communication. Warning: inappropriate language as hell.

Some one doesn't like Tom Poti

Jawing

This is actually pretty polite, to warn a guy like that

The nicest ever guy to cave your entire dome in in front of your family.

Child-voiced Goalie disdains snow

The best laugh of all time

It's mean, because the ref is fat.
