Tbf, women are more prone to concussions in sports than men. If you want to determine which sport causes more concussions you should compare the men’s leagues or the women’s leagues, not one to the other.
Don't have a clip of it, but commentators were saying Shaw was holding Ribeiro's arm.
Edit: here's a clip. You can barely see Shaw pulling his own (left) arm back after he get's punched, or at least it kind of looks like it... You decide.
Tungsten carbide rings in particular are great for this. Especially ones with decorative notches.

If I remember right, lots of miscommunication. 2 Jets got on the ice, making 5 for the too many men since they were on the PK, then BOTH immediately tried to get on the bench to avoid the too many men penalty, thus leading to a 4 on 1.
Hola is terrible as you can also get the instance of being unlucky if one of those IPs has been filtered as spam and you browse on here while waiting for netflix.. you get shadowbanned (speaking from experience).

DJ Gallo is such a fantastic sports satirist. I started loving his writing way back in 2006 with his breakdown of the Madden 07 ratings. Great things like...
>98 -- The awareness rating for Ray Lewis. That strikes me as a bit high for a guy who for the longest time couldn't remember anything about a certain evening in Atlanta a few years ago, don't you agree?
and
>90 -- Brett Favre's morale rating. While I disagree a bit with Ray Lewis' attributes, this one is right on. Playing against Brett Favre is absolutely fantastic for a team's morale.
If you're looking for a good bathroom book, I suggest checking out his View From the Upper Deck. Bunch of short sports satire stories that are well consumed in short 5 minute sittings. Stories like "Lack of Yellow Card Miraculously Heals Soccer Players Broken Leg" and "NASCAR Race Ends Tragically Without a Single Crash".
I like the Large Bottle Cover. Who cares how much water is in the bottle! Few left!
I think the allure of it is because ESPN already made a pretty sick mock up logo for it.

Check out the book Chill Factor: How a Minor-League Hockey Team Changed a City Forever .... pretty good read about the Columbus Chill and how it paved the way for Columbus to get an NHL team.

So I had time to waste and I like pointless trivia that don't mean much, so be nice, but here's what I got.
As per these guys, the name Thorburn is Scottish: from a northern Middle English personal name, Old Norse þórbjörn, composed of the elements þórr (see Thor) + björn ‘bear’, ‘warrior’.
When the Habs flipped that 2nd to LA for a 3rd and a 5th, they picked Norlinder with the 3rd, and with the 5th they took a guy called Jacob LeGuerrier. Literally French for "the warrior".
Also apparently Enstrom is made of en (juniper) and strøm (river). That's just the basis for a shitton of gin, isn't it ? I'm sure this deal made someone drink though.
You think that's odd? Wait til you see this. Hockey fanfiction is real and it's very confusing.

EDIT: Guys it was a joke! A joke I stole from the sports talk radio station show The Common Man Progrum on KFAN in the Twin Cities. It's literally something Craig Button said, seriously said, after Zach and Ryan signed with the Wild.
As I have linked below this comment there is a special "tournament" that the radio program does every year called The Preposterous Statement Tournament. It takes comments made by sports personalities, athletes, celebrities, and people from the station itself that are preposterously ludicrous and makes a bracket out of them and lets listeners and fans vote the statements through the bracket until they pick the ultimately preposterous statement of the previous year. To put it simply, it's fucking hilarious and it grows in popularity every year. There is a "Selection Show" every year that they do live on the air. They even have a Hall of Fame! Here is the same link that is below. It's this year's selection show. Doesn't have the "Parise's wife's job statement" on it but it's still funny as hell and worth your time. Listen to it at work, while working out, whenever; trust me it'll make you laugh. It's the top podcast link on the page.

I don't think anybody disputes that Yzerman was a competitor - I have many memories of seeing him yelling and screaming with the best of them. However, an editorial by Paul Stewart on Yzerman's "whining" is what defines him as a "class act" or not? I don't think so, good sir.
Harper is actually a die hard Leafs fan. He grew up in Toronto and actually has a book written about the history of the Maple Leafs: https://www.amazon.ca/Great-Game-Forgotten-Professional-Hockey/dp/1476716536
Because of how Toronto and by extension the Leafs are viewed out West though, he was never open about it during his tenure as PM. Also helps that they sucked so he was never put in a position to have to cheer for them.
Harper is like many Leaf fans out west. Him or his family moved out there from Ontario but kept their Leaf fandom despite embracing a lot of western values. The Habs also have a similar phenomenon which is why the Leafs and Habs have such a wide following.
As a sidenote, on how Toronto is viewed in Canada: Back around 2000ish, CBC did a documentary on separatism in Canada. At the time there was rising Albertan separatist sentiments and we were only 5 years removed from a referendum in Quebec. CBC took a hardcore Quebec separatist and had him live in Alberta for about a year and learn about Alberta's view of Quebec and the rest of Canada and they took a proud Canadian boy from Alberta who had rising separatist views and put him in Trois-Rivières, Quebec to do the same. At the end of the documentary both guys met up again and discussed their experiences. One of the things they agreed on was that Toronto was one of the main problems.
A couple months back, I realized that I've been drinking WAY too much, and that I needed to fix it, and needed to do something to help get myself away from it... I have fond memories of hiking and backpacking from when I was much younger and decided that that was the route I was going to take, to get off the bar stool.
In that, I picked up a nice day pack, and some good hiking boots and slowly am acquiring more gear to start backpacking in the spring; along with a fun cross country trip with friends to some National Parks.
I've got some awesome mileage in already (nearing 50ish miles hiked according to my spreadsheet) and have started writing a book about the whole process (Tentatively titled "Off The Barstool").
Sooooo... shameless plug here, if anyone wants to follow along and see some pictures as I hike through this whole process, I've got an Instagram here. I pretty much have been trying to update 3 times a week, generally with photos from the previous weekend of hiking.
Wild hit the post right before Hossa launched it down the ice. If that goes in, it's 3-2 and who knows what happens.
Toews also hit the post on the EN when it was 4-3. That sounds like something that would happen to the Leafs, except the other team would eventually tie the game.
He came off the fucking bench and made straight for him. There's a better angle out there, they showed it on the Stars feed. Over the wall. Straight through center ice, Straight to Klingberg. Ignored Klingberg's pass, One more stride, right into him. It was charging. Shanaban could put out a video on what constitutes charging with this hit.

Is there a particular reason you would want to though? I get my money's worth. I watch at least 2 games a night, more on weekends. I don't have to sit at my computer either. Unlocator is my homeboy.
They're not allowed because each country buys their own rights to broadcast. But for future reference, get something like ExpressVPN and connect to Canada. Have been watching with canadian coverage through iPad+Airplay in the US for $13 and it's been awesome.
Yeah, very easy. But eventually you’ll learn to stop watching the puck and just watch the game. Watching a play develop instead of who’s swatting at the puck that moment.
A good book to check out if you’re new to the sport is Take Your Eye Off The Puck by Greg Wyshynski.
This report on a study in Nature Scientific Reports would seem to confirm that athletes are somewhat smarter. In many ways this makes sense. I think it's generally agreed that there is a relationship between a healthy body and healthy mind. Being an elite athlete takes a tremendous amount of concentration.
I don't have a source, but I wouldn't be surprised if professional athletes lean to the right politically. By definition, they're exceptional - which combined with hard work has allowed them to succeed. I can see how many conservative ideologies would mesh with their life experience. But I'm just speculating.
Now, as to whether athletes are well informed and have an accurate perception of reality, that's a different story. Elite athletes are almost always optimists. You need that quality the need to succeed. However in the book Learned Optimism, Dr. Martin Seligman tries to understand why pessimists exist. To have that capacity, seems like an evolutionarily unsuccessful quality. Well, it turns out, when they do tests, pessimists have a better grasp on reality and their environment. In other words, people with brains that tend to lean toward pessimism have a better understanding of what's actually going on.
So do you want to trust an athlete's perception as to how the world works? Well, their experience hasn't been the same as the rest of us who have to muddle through being average. Perhaps that's a reason why the best players often don't make good coaches.
Or maybe I've been drinking and am full of shit on a Saturday night with no hockey on.

I've had that mindset from the moment I saw the initial roster. On a related note, you would enjoy this garbage piece from ESPN:
> From a pure hockey standpoint, Team Canada is filthy rich in talent.
> But Team USA was built to steal that fame and fortune at the World Cup of Hockey.
> Is Canada really the better team, though? No. > The American roster was built to slow down Canada. Every team has some level of depth in this tournament, but Team USA has the right kind of depth.

After the great support for Burke last week I was disappointed to read all of the misinformation and support of sexist comments in this sub. Can't we just strive for a day when the Starship Troopers locker room happens?
Really? Cause this clip pretty clearly shows Stastny hitting the stick out of Myers' hands, preventing him from making a play to stop that goal. Maybe it should have been called interference instead, but it sure as hell wasn't a clean play.
It's an exception to traveling. You can read the full definition of traveling [here](http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Traveling_(basketball\)), but basically it means that as long as you keep moving you have two steps after you pick up the ball before traveling is called. It exists to make scoring easier on a layup or dunk.

It's a tiiiiiiny bit better than this: https://www.amazon.com/Boston-Bruins-Autographed-Hitting-Miller/dp/B00KIYBO30

Especially considering that the team auctioned one of those off for charity.
I preferred The Last Gladiators, if you want a doc about goons. It's made by Oscar winner Alex Gibney, who is probably the best (or at least most successful) documentary filmmaker working today. Even people who have no interest in hockey that I've shown it to come away liking it. It's streaming now on Amazon Prime.

James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail has tweeted about it. Apparently Angela Rypien is his cousin; she's also tweeted about it. Sad day.
Flames/Canucks games (especially the playoff series the season before last) are just plain dirty. There's some real hatred there. Gaudreau, in particular, was deliberately targetted with a lot of dirty wrist-slashes. If you can't hit him, cripple him I guess. I suspect the Flames would have been badly out-gooned in that series if Ferland hadn't gone crazy "irrelevant". Normally, the Flames are one of the lesser penalized teams in the league, so calling them the West's Bruins is a tad off-base.
Fortunately, for Gaudreau's wrists at least, it seems pretty unlikely that the Flames and Canucks will face each other in the playoffs again in the near future.
Edit: I looked it up. Last season, the Flames were 19th most penalized team in the league with 9.20 PIM/gm while the Canucks were 11th with 10.01 PIM/gm. The season before, the Flames were 28th in the league with just 7.63 PIM/gm, while the Canucks were 5th with 10.88 PIM/gm, actually beating out Boston that season. The Flames definitely lost some discipline last season, but the Canucks are still a more penalized team.

Terry wrote a book back in 2014, called Tales of a First-Round Nothing. He did some junkets where he dished on his Therrien stories, there were some audio on Slapshot Diaries, etc.
I stand corrected. Apparently, they released a graphic novel at the All-Star Game.
They really didn't show him change, you just got to look at the top to see it. Next time you saw him he was in the crease.
Greg Wyshynski's new book "Take Your Eye Off the Puck: How to Watch Hockey By Knowing Where to Look") will probably be helpful. I can't say for sure because I just started reading it last night and am only a handful of pages in.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DJB43W2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I think it's this one. It's an otterbox, but it also comes with this sort of utility outer shell that you can take off and use as a stand and stuff like that. It's bulky as shit, but I've seen him throw it down flights of concrete stairs numerous times, and through the dawn's early light, I can see the iPad is still there.

I trust ESPN generally on attendance numbers, source
Ken Campbell has a book called Selling the Dream which looks at how much families spend on hockey.
Bleacher Report has an interview with the author that discusses some of the book.
One of the most pertinent points:
>[I]t does become a little mind-boggling when you put it down on paper. For example, in terms of expenses and lost wages, Matt Duchene's parents spent more than $300,000 on their son's hockey career; and that's just the financial sacrifices they made. That will actually turn out to be a great "investment" on their part, but what about the families who make all these sacrifices, only to find out there's not a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
Ohh, I thought you had me, so I had to look. But according to ESPN's numbers for 2015 the Blue Jays had an average attendance of 34,504 (Eighth highest in the league), while the Leafs had 19,158.
The Rays were dead last with 15,403, and the Lighting were Eighth with 19,092.
http://www.espn.com/mlb/attendance/_/year/2015
http://www.espn.com/nhl/attendance/_/year/2016
But the Blue Jays have been good lately, and even in 2008 when the Rays won the American League and went to the World Series, they still only averaged 22,259, still nearly at the bottom.

No they didn't. What Kreijci did is literally exactly how a spear is defined in the rulebook. And he makes contact, which the rulebook says is a major penalty and a game misconduct
They should be calling all these crosschecks, but that doesn't change the fact they fucked up the call on Kreijci

I'm concerned that the streamable website isn't secure. I posted a thread about it in /r/netsec only to have it removed (and now I can't post the question to anywhere else because reddit is blocking my submissions).
Here's the thread I posted:
>The website 'streamable' has been used more frequently for hosting short videos. The /r/hockey and /r/soccer subreddits in particular have been using the website to host game highlights.
>Today, I was watching this video when I noticed that streamable's identity was not verified. After clicking on 'https' for more information, Chrome also notified me that the encryption algorithm used by the website is obsolete.
>Is this concerning news for the users of /r/hockey and /r/soccer? It seems that anyone who created a streamable account is at risk due to the weak encrytpion, but are the people who view the videos also at risk because of the identity not being verified?
Can anyone with experience in netsec confirm these suspicions? And I advise people to avoid creating an account on the site until this is sorted out.

I just want to say, as a big reader and a lover of hockey books, this was one of the most boring books I've ever read. Sorry Harper, but we don't need a play-by-play description of every single transaction that ever happened in now non-existent leagues in 1906. Cool that he wrote it though!
What? It has always been a huge part of their rhetoric and long term plan. Here's what PETA's president and co-founder says on the issue:
"I don’t use the word "pet." I think it’s speciesist language. I prefer "companion animal." For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship – enjoyment at a distance."
> Ingrid Newkirk, then PETA's VP, The Harper's Forum Book, 223.
Ingrid is the current president of PETA. She has all sorts of likeminded quotes here about how the keeping of pets is unambigiously morally wrong.
Ok, I can't argue with you anymore. I have work to do.

Honestly, I'm surprised he doesn't swear more in interviews. "Fuck" seems to be a filler word for him.
So new strategy since I'm always wrong it feels like. I've decided to just flip 10 coins using This website and decided to use Toonies, because Toonies are awesome! If more heads come up then I will pick the home team to win, if tails away team. Todays coin flip outcome was 5 Polar Bears (tails) and 5 heads. So will flip a real toonie now for the deciding factor, and it came up tails. So Nashville will win.
Record so far with coin flip is 2-2

This was the penalty:
He doesn't touch his head, worst he does is lie on the floor. Either way it was a penalty.
edit: Boyle's the one who got hit in the head and didn't return to the game.
Called a debatable slashing on Stastny that became a no-goal. Jets win 1-0, game most likely would've went into OT if it wasn't called. Refs weren't too good to either team though Here's the slashing call: https://streamable.com/gwve
