They actually hit at a higher speed in hockey. A study was done and it found hockey hits are, on average, 17% harder that football even though they weigh less. The equipment is actually much less protective than football padding. Also, many, many players have died and found to have had brain injuries.
Football equipment is vastly less protective than hockey equipment. Both sports use shoulder pads and helmets, which may or may not be more effective in football (don't know, don't care), but hockey players also wear elbow pads, padded gloves, padded pants (some football players wear some additional padding here), and shin pads covering from above the knee to the ankles. They need it more, because of the nature of the sport (skates and sticks, high speeds), but those guys are armored head to toe.
@@jawbone78 hockey player may wear more equipment as in total coverage. I agree with that. However, the shoulder pads and helmet in football are much more protective. Even though hockey equipment covers more areas, the injuries sustained even while wearing the equipment are no different than the injuries sustained in football. With that being the case, one has to then concede hockey is much more dangerous.
@@CN-uc6py it's not though. Football has a higher concussion rate and a higher overall injury rate. The difference between them is that hard contact is a part of hockey, and players regularly get hit, but it occurs in almost every second of every play in football. Football is more dangerous.
@@jawbone78 can't say football is more dangerous and im not saying hockey is, more concussions yes, you ever see a throat get cut while playing football? Sticks used as weapons? The difference is when football players hit eachother its more solid hits in both ends because they play on dirt as where ice it's easier to loose balance and glide after the hit. These two sports can say are more dangerous then any other sport besides rugby
Yea hockey hits are way harder than football hits lmao idc what anyone says. Hockey players are a different breed, constantly playing with injuries or going back out after getting injured. There are many head injuries in hockey, I happened to have 3 concussions in 3 years from some pretty bad hits unfortunately. 2 on a boarding penalty and 1 from a hit from behind🤦🏽♂️can't play contact sports anymore
There has been plenty of CTE in hockey. The reason it isn't talked about as much is that the NHL didn't hide it. They banned direct hits to the head, approved concussion resistant helmet designs and tried to change quick. The NFL fought like hell to pretend concussions weren't a big deal.
@@hawk12983 I think they could experiment more with helmets that reinforce the neck. It's the sudden twisting of the neck (whiplash) that causes most concussions.

Hey guys, the best quote to describe how tough of a game hockey is comes from Don Cherry, long time NHL coach and Hockey Night in Canada analyst : “IN HOCKEY, YOU CAN’T RUN OUT OF BOUNDS !”
Playoff hockey is on another level. Imagine Steelers Ravens in a 7 game series. Now give them sticks. Two teams who have no reason to hate each other, will absolutely hate each other by the second period of game 2. Do yourselves a favor and watch one period of any playoff game and you’ll love it. Great channel by the way, love y’all.
In Canada the concussion issue with hockey is widely talked about. Football is so huge in the US especially in comparison to hockey that's why you don't hear about it as much. If you watch clips of hockey injuries you'll see how tuff it is and why so many of them have many missing teeth. Also think of a 200lbs guy coming at you full speed on ice, that's faster than football players on a field.
@@Bruce918 virtually every time, minus the very rare hit when you're cutting across the ice full speed with your head down and get a shoulder KO to the head. even still, puck to the face is often more damaging. i'd take a mild concussion over 7 lost teeth any day
@Tack Draas are you out of your mind? There are more concussions and hockey than there are in football. Until you have met any NHL(National Hockey League) player, ECHL( East Coast Hockey League) player, ACHL (American Conference Hockey League) player, SPHL (Southern Professional Hockey League) player, or FPHL (Federal Professional Hockey League) player, You have no idea what you are talking about. THESE guys get concussions in practice not just the game. NBA NOR NFL CAN HOLD A CANDLE TO HOCKEY PLAYERS. Most sports just play with balls, Hockey Requires them!!
@Tack Draas I get what you're saying and both sports have very legitimate safety issues. NFL has the grinding job of 50 trench collisions a game, hockey has higher speeds and a much less forgiving surface. In fact bouncing your head off the ice is deadly and probably the scariest thing in the sport. Fucking around with no helmet is no joke. NFL has a dark history with player health but Canada has multiple nationally known heroes who died of injuries sustained on the ice, and not just head injuries.
I always say that. The camera from above doesn't make justice to the reality of the game at ice level. They go so much more faster than someone running, they're big and they don't have a perfect vision of everything around them like we do. When they fall, it's on hard ice, not soil.

I love this content honestly. As someone who grew up watching hockey the hits are still crazy to see but it’s crazy how you can just crush someone in hockey and it’s legal and dude is like “That’s not a foul?” such a sick sport and the reaction really made me realize how wild it is that you can get away with that on the ice compared to other sports where there’s way less contact
Hockey is the most fun to watch live. I definitely recommend seeing a game if you're on vacation in Florida or something. When you play hockey it really feels like you're flying out there. Big hits do happen but not all the time. Hockey is like a combination of different sports. There's a lot to enjoy, but it is a low scoring game. Personally, I love watching the shootouts but a lot of fans don't. Maybe you could react to NHL Shootout Highlights...
I have friends I’ve taken to games that didn’t care about hockey. One game live was all it took for them to for them get into it. There’s something about the atmosphere and excitement of the game people get completely hooked.
Hey I love your videos. Your reactions to 60s and 70s rock and roll is awesome. I had the privilege of growing up in that Era and it was the greatest music ever. Keep enjoying it and bring it to the youth. Long live rock and roll...listen to some 10CC...JACKSON BROWN...BAD COMPANY...STEPPENWOLF....JIM CROCE.DON MCLEAN...VAN MORRISON...DOOBIE BROTHERS....ANN MURRAY....GORDON LIGHTFOOT...just a few of the groups I enjoyed as a teenager.
@@TheCrazyCanuck420 Actually the Kinetic Energy done in the collision is KE= 1/2m * v^2. The velocity being squared is why the hits do so much more damage. Mass is negligible as it is proportional, however the velocity is squared, so any difference in velocity results in a large difference in result. But yeah, you got the premise.
@@gladyslucas198 You are wrong, in every conceivable way. When your edges are 'in' the ice you have more traction than in cleats on grass. Next, read the equation above, traction has nothing to do with it, it is mass and velocity. If I throw a 10 pound sledge hammer at you, it is in the air, and has exactly 0 traction, and it hits like, well, a sledge hammer.
I watch a tremendous number of hockey compilations. I would suggest “ The Beauty of Hockey” part 1 and (part 2 if you liked 1). Also “ The Code”. It’s about the unwritten code (rules) that is self governed by players on ice. Loving the reactions boys. Bill Burr is the goat. Keep ‘em coming!
Hockey is actually way tougher than football. The hits are body checks like these are actually harder in terms of mathematics. There are so many risks in hockey.
Great reaction! As to the physicality of the game there are a few sayings. Football is a contract sport where as hockey is a collision sport. Drop your stick, drop your gloves, drop your opponent. And one of my favourites, there’s no running out of bounds in hockey. Great video. Check out a best hockey fights video or hockey’s worst injuries (quite graphic).
I've been a Hockey fan since 1976. Over the years I have taken 3 of my black friends to NHL games. None of them had ever been exposed to hockey. All 3 came away from the game die-hard hockey fans. The same goes for the 6 or 7 other ladies I have introduced to it over the years on dates. Yes, hockey games as a date. If she doesn't like hockey she can hit the road. Anyway, Hockey has always been a predominately white sport. Why I don't know. But I am thrilled to see that thanks to videos like this Hockey is being exposed to a whole new group of fans. So welcome aboard and enjoy the sport. If you like it now, go to a live game. There is no other sport that even compares to live hockey. Also, remember, unlike the 17-game NFL schedule, these guys play 82 games plus playoffs. They are the toughest athletes around.
Hockey is primarily a white sport mainly because of the expensive nature of the game. If a kid is to start hockey at an early age, the parents would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on his equipment, ice time etc. And the reality is that most minority families are either not willing to, or can't afford to put their kids in such programs.
@@legendofnoob There's some truth in that, yes, but also that hockey was (and still is) HUGELY popular in predominantly white countries, such as Canada, Russia, Czech Republic, Sweden, Finland, etc., and even in the northern US. But no question the cost is a factor, though many white kids/families are far from rich when they allow their kid(s) to play.
@@mikes3827 I used to work at a hotel and whenever there was a youth hockey tournament it would be overrun with hockey kids and their parents. You're right they're not all rich, most are middle class families. But you can see how taxing a kid playing hockey is on his family's finances. Most of the parents are rude and cheap, probably not in a good mood having shed hundreds for their kid to play one tournament. But the reason they do it is because either they were fans themselves, as you said, the audience of hockey has also been predominantly white.
They used to play with no helmets. When they implemented helmets the players refused to use them so the NHL made it a rule that all new players had to wear helmets.
There is tons of CTE in hockey players boys, unfortunately the hits are also way harder, you can skate way faster than you can run, that’s a fact. Also no face mask covering your chin, guys get smoked and suffer massive concussions and head trauma. Football is insane and I’m a huge fan, in fairness the most insane game may be box (in a rink) lacrosse, let’s also not forget you can fist fight bare knuckle in hockey and lacrosse. Fuckin live u lads 🇨🇦
Couple points for you guys as new to hockey- Penalties wont get called until the team that is to be penalized touches the puck again, ref will hold his hand up to signify the penalty is coming, giving the other team a chance until the offenders touch it, thats why you arent seeing the penalties called right away. 2nd- While brutally savage hits happen in hockey, checking against the boards injuries can be lessened from the incoming hit by getting/jumping up off the ice a little bit and letting your body go into the boards/glass to absorb the power/energy, The boards and glass will give flex/bow to absorb some of the hit. thats why you see them leave their feet when they the see the hit coming along the boards. But alot of these were the worst hits in hockey so alot didnt see them coming. You should watch a "Hockey best fights" video, you will be amazed the savagery its awesome.
Legit need to check out the Red Wings vs Avalanche 1997 fight, nickednamed Bloody Wednesday. Avalance player checked a Red Wings player that broke his jaw, shattered orbital bone. And the Red Wings wanted revenge, fast forward to their first game in the next season. The puck dropped and so did the gloves. Would highly recommend checking that out. Love the content fellas, take care!
@spikedaddy....I watched that game live. They literally had bloody slush on the ice. Both teams were loaded with hall of fame players and HATED each other! These guys should react to Nicholas kronwall.
Nobody beats Boston.. They will fight at the drop of a hat.. And the other teams know it. So they stay away from hitting the Star players. The $70,000.00 year players will make sure you never do it again...
This video warms my heart. "Do they do hitting drills at practice?" But "That's not a foul?" made my night. Fight Night at the Joe from below is a must-see. Edited to add...to see you guys see that there's no calls and that's how the game works makes me giddy. I also thing they understand the role of t he goon or enforcer without knowing it.
@@stevehill4965 Yep. McCarty went after him and really messed him up. Started a game-long brawl with more fights and lost teeth than any game in history.
Football players have a lot more padding, and hockey players are moving at up to 25 mph....each. You may not realize the rink is 200 ft end to end. These guys can skate 2/3 a football field in 4 or 5 seconds. Throw in hits to the boards and the razor sharp skate blades, it's no wonder few players make it through an entire year without some sort of injury.
Dude...it's ice...you ever noticed hiw you stroll on some concrete versus shooting down the f$%@#&% driveway like a human bobsled....those dudes are FLYIN!! Love the channel btw
Hey guys second time I have reply tonight cuz I just discovered you. You know what you guys are awesome to watch I'm from Canada and I wanted to say the expressions on your faces when you see the hockey hits, it's way more than even that. I challenge you as a Canadian, to you I believe you're American watch one season of hockey. Don't know where you guys are from and you can pick any team you want and stick with that team and go for the whole season if you watch one year of NHL you will be hooked, but I guarantee you if you watch boxing Day start of the world juniors you will love it even more. God bless keep being happy and keep sharing your reactions, from a Canadian female fan, I had to say female cuz everybody thinks I'm a male with Sami C ask my name but I am female from Canada God bless you guys you are awesome to watch
For context, Nate Mackinnon was clocked at like 35km/Hr this last playoffs and he’s not even considered the fastest in the league. So these guys are MOVING and physics alone will tell ya travelling that speed and coming up solid on something is big impact
Sorry my friends you got it wrong about the concussions. Hockey players are almost always going faster than any football player. By perspective Chris Johnson ran 22 mph, and McDavid is hitting almost 30. Outside the extremes the avarrage speed of a puck carrier is less than the one without and they are still going 15 mph at any point. Gliding is faster than running and the result is bigger regular hits in nhl vs nfl. Concussions are a problem in the nfl more than nhl because of publicity only and maybe a little bit that it football your head goes right to the ground sometimes where hockey it’s often to the back sliding
2 minutes into the video they say "they coming to fast in football" meanwhile i got a REAL good idea what these top 10 hits are gonna be 😂 lovin these videos rn
"That's not a foul" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fuck no, hockey players are tough, they don't flop and cry like other sports Guys don't fight after the game. You settle it on the ice. You square up. You don't jump people or look for people after a game. Everything's settled on the ice
On the flopping point..... yes and no, because the embellishment penalty exists. I'm also of the mindset that it's either the penalty, or embellishment.... never both.
Did my guy on the right say NHL players were slower than NFL players? Might want to rethink that. The difference is the hits are made shoulders to shoulder, in NHL ( legal ones). Hit to the head happen but are illegal and yes some guys had their career ended because of brain concussions (CTE stuff)
I grew up watching hockey with my dad. If you can follow the puck while watching it can be a really fun game to watch but I get why it isn't as big as other sports in the US. Hockey absolutely has concussion issues as those hits may seem slow but they can really hurt each other out there. Hockey players on average are slightly heavier and taller than your average cornerback in the NFL.
1996 world cup of hockey finals between Canada & USA is some of the best hockey of all time. 90s was the best era of sports. It was modern & popular enough without being pussified
The answer to 60 and 61 is yes, all you have to do is search for biggest slashes, there’s been some real dirty ones throughout the years! It’ll be pretty gruesome though so put on a seatbelt. Nice videos gents, you guys are hilarious and a good time!! Love from Canada
Hockey is my absolute favorite sport to watch live. Watching 200 lb guys skating over 30 mph shooting pucks about 100 mph is a spectacle. Plus, the 200 lb players can hit each other & even throw down their gloves & punch each other in the face if they feel one of them crossed a line. On top of the hard hits & fights, the best part is seeing the agile offensive plays where players come in with speed & basically dance through the defense to score or when two or more players make pin point passes to each other on the move to score. Goalies are also amazing in how the athleticism they show keeping the puck out of the 4 ft by 6 ft net. It's a great sport, the only one I can season tickets to & keep my interest the same from beginning of the season to the end of postseason. Not ripping any other sports, hockey is just the one I love to watch, especially live. Anyone who has never watched a hockey game should give it a try. Before the game, familiarize yourself with icing & offsides. Those are the two most common reasons for stoppage in play. if you understand what's going on with those two calls, you can pick up everything else as it happens.
CTE is very present! Imagine if football had boards 🤦♂️ and it’s not turf either but hard ice… wearing sharp edges. Never saw a football player die with his throat cut or players still playing with dislocated shoulders
4:17 it may not look like it, but in hockey they are often going over 15, sometimes 20 MPH. Most checks are angled, so the closing speed is closer to 30 MPH, and the rule is you have to contact shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to body, or hip to hip (hip checking). If you launch upwards, raise your shoulder, stick out your elbow, or "submarine" someone by hip checking them below the hip, that's a penalty, and very often a match penalty (ejection) for intent to injure, and can get you suspended. It's because the game is so fast that the safety is emphasized, as one bad head hit can cause serious concussion issues, and CTE is a huge concern. In fact, if any check or hit to the head occurs now, that player *must* go to "the quiet room" where a concussions specialist is on stand by at every game, and if they determine that there is a concussion, that player is not allowed to return to the game, or play in any match, until cleared by medical professionals.
The one thing I love about hockey is you can see the difference between regular season to playoffs. these men put their bodies and sometimes life on the line to get to the greatest trophy in all of sports. they play around 80-100% in the regular season then when it comes time to the playoffs they play at 120%
There’s a documentary on fighting and cte and hitting and cte in hockey highlighting the life and death of a young player named Derek Boogard. Rip Boogs

I have friends I’ve taken to games that didn’t care about hockey. One game live was all it took for them to for them get into it. There’s something about the atmosphere and excitement of the game people get completely hooked.
@@joshhale9355 try being a hockey fan in Los Angeles where EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT THE LAKERS AND GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
😂 Sol said is that a fowl?😁❤ 🤭
Oh grasshopper, you have much to learn 🤓 But you're on your way!
As a Canadian who started watching you guys for your eminem reactions... I'm so happy you made this
Same!!!
As a fellow Canadian with a famous name of Kevin Smith, I started with their Family Guy reaction vid and then bill burr. this one was funny too
Hey I love your videos. Your reactions to 60s and 70s rock and roll is awesome. I had the privilege of growing up in that Era and it was the greatest music ever. Keep enjoying it and bring it to the youth. Long live rock and roll...listen to some 10CC...JACKSON BROWN...BAD COMPANY...STEPPENWOLF....JIM CROCE.DON MCLEAN...VAN MORRISON...DOOBIE BROTHERS....ANN MURRAY....GORDON LIGHTFOOT...just a few of the groups I enjoyed as a teenager.
Nah hits in hockey are harder, just think about how much faster people can go on skates vs in cleats. The collisions are brutal
Momentum = mass x velocity, something the average football meathead can't understand.
@@TheCrazyCanuck420 Actually the Kinetic Energy done in the collision is KE= 1/2m * v^2. The velocity being squared is why the hits do so much more damage. Mass is negligible as it is proportional, however the velocity is squared, so any difference in velocity results in a large difference in result. But yeah, you got the premise.
they move faster, but being on skates and ice means there's less traction, means they don't have as much body weight put into the hit.
@@gladyslucas198 You are wrong, in every conceivable way. When your edges are 'in' the ice you have more traction than in cleats on grass. Next, read the equation above, traction has nothing to do with it, it is mass and velocity. If I throw a 10 pound sledge hammer at you, it is in the air, and has exactly 0 traction, and it hits like, well, a sledge hammer.
You guys are hilarious man 😂😂😂😂 lmao ❤🇨🇦. Those hockey players are tough as nails man 😂😂😂
I watch a tremendous number of hockey compilations. I would suggest “ The Beauty of Hockey” part 1 and (part 2 if you liked 1). Also “ The Code”. It’s about the unwritten code (rules) that is self governed by players on ice. Loving the reactions boys. Bill Burr is the goat. Keep ‘em coming!
Hockey is actually way tougher than football. The hits are body checks like these are actually harder in terms of mathematics. There are so many risks in hockey.
Great reaction! As to the physicality of the game there are a few sayings. Football is a contract sport where as hockey is a collision sport. Drop your stick, drop your gloves, drop your opponent. And one of my favourites, there’s no running out of bounds in hockey. Great video. Check out a best hockey fights video or hockey’s worst injuries (quite graphic).
“I wouldn’t even want the puck, guys”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been a Hockey fan since 1976. Over the years I have taken 3 of my black friends to NHL games. None of them had ever been exposed to hockey. All 3 came away from the game die-hard hockey fans. The same goes for the 6 or 7 other ladies I have introduced to it over the years on dates. Yes, hockey games as a date. If she doesn't like hockey she can hit the road. Anyway, Hockey has always been a predominately white sport. Why I don't know. But I am thrilled to see that thanks to videos like this Hockey is being exposed to a whole new group of fans. So welcome aboard and enjoy the sport. If you like it now, go to a live game. There is no other sport that even compares to live hockey. Also, remember, unlike the 17-game NFL schedule, these guys play 82 games plus playoffs. They are the toughest athletes around.
Hockey is primarily a white sport mainly because of the expensive nature of the game. If a kid is to start hockey at an early age, the parents would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on his equipment, ice time etc. And the reality is that most minority families are either not willing to, or can't afford to put their kids in such programs.
@@legendofnoob There's some truth in that, yes, but also that hockey was (and still is) HUGELY popular in predominantly white countries, such as Canada, Russia, Czech Republic, Sweden, Finland, etc., and even in the northern US. But no question the cost is a factor, though many white kids/families are far from rich when they allow their kid(s) to play.
@@mikes3827 I used to work at a hotel and whenever there was a youth hockey tournament it would be overrun with hockey kids and their parents. You're right they're not all rich, most are middle class families. But you can see how taxing a kid playing hockey is on his family's finances. Most of the parents are rude and cheap, probably not in a good mood having shed hundreds for their kid to play one tournament. But the reason they do it is because either they were fans themselves, as you said, the audience of hockey has also been predominantly white.
They used to play with no helmets. When they implemented helmets the players refused to use them so the NHL made it a rule that all new players had to wear helmets.
There is tons of CTE in hockey players boys, unfortunately the hits are also way harder, you can skate way faster than you can run, that’s a fact.
Also no face mask covering your chin, guys get smoked and suffer massive concussions and head trauma. Football is insane and I’m a huge fan, in fairness the most insane game may be box (in a rink) lacrosse, let’s also not forget you can fist fight bare knuckle in hockey and lacrosse.
Fuckin live u lads
🇨🇦
"VIKINGS WITH A STICK"
YEP, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT!!! LOL.
Couple points for you guys as new to hockey- Penalties wont get called until the team that is to be penalized touches the puck again, ref will hold his hand up to signify the penalty is coming, giving the other team a chance until the offenders touch it, thats why you arent seeing the penalties called right away.
2nd- While brutally savage hits happen in hockey, checking against the boards injuries can be lessened from the incoming hit by getting/jumping up off the ice a little bit and letting your body go into the boards/glass to absorb the power/energy, The boards and glass will give flex/bow to absorb some of the hit. thats why you see them leave their feet when they the see the hit coming along the boards. But alot of these were the worst hits in hockey so alot didnt see them coming.
You should watch a "Hockey best fights" video, you will be amazed the savagery its awesome.
All true, the open ice checks are much more dangerous and result in more concussions and injuries.
To be fair, most of these hits were clean. Might be against the code but not against the rules.
I'm not gonna lie, this might be the most entertaining video on this site hahahaah
Legit need to check out the Red Wings vs Avalanche 1997 fight, nickednamed Bloody Wednesday. Avalance player checked a Red Wings player that broke his jaw, shattered orbital bone. And the Red Wings wanted revenge, fast forward to their first game in the next season. The puck dropped and so did the gloves. Would highly recommend checking that out.
Love the content fellas, take care!
Yes that was great.
@spikedaddy....I watched that game live. They literally had bloody slush on the ice. Both teams were loaded with hall of fame players and HATED each other!
These guys should react to Nicholas kronwall.
@@stevep2380 I also watched it live. It was insane. And I agree gotta watch Kronwall.
March 26, 1997… fight night at the Joe.
Nobody beats Boston.. They will fight at the drop of a hat.. And the other teams know it. So they stay away from hitting the Star players. The $70,000.00 year players will make sure you never do it again...
No finer display of finesse and violence then a good ol’ hockey game. One time I went to a fight, and a hockey game broke out. True story😂
Glad u got the rough stuff out of the way..now watch some of the “best goals from the decade”. You will enjoy it if u like crossovers and creativity
Very much agree with this. Hockey is way more than people getting leveled.
This video warms my heart. "Do they do hitting drills at practice?" But "That's not a foul?" made my night. Fight Night at the Joe from below is a must-see. Edited to add...to see you guys see that there's no calls and that's how the game works makes me giddy. I also thing they understand the role of t
he goon or enforcer without knowing it.
Y'all need to watch "fight night at the Joe". The Red Wings vs. the Avalanche, brutal game. So much blood. It was awesome.
Have not seen this!!! I assume this is the first game Lemieux was back after the Draper “hit”.
@@stevehill4965 Yep. McCarty went after him and really messed him up. Started a game-long brawl with more fights and lost teeth than any game in history.
Watched it live, what a game! Everyone in Detroit knew exactly what was going to happen and the Wings did not disappoint!
Facts I am a redwings fan and I constantly watch it on or around march 26th each year turtle day in Detroit
Love this video!! I love hockey and everyone loves a bench clearing brawl!!
Football players have a lot more padding, and hockey players are moving at up to 25 mph....each. You may not realize the rink is 200 ft end to end. These guys can skate 2/3 a football field in 4 or 5 seconds.
Throw in hits to the boards and the razor sharp skate blades, it's no wonder few players make it through an entire year without some sort of injury.
I'm glad the clip at @12:52 is the most replayed. That hit on marchand is so satisfying to watch
when buddy on right said "That's premeditated murder"
😂🤣
Dude...it's ice...you ever noticed hiw you stroll on some concrete versus shooting down the f$%@#&% driveway like a human bobsled....those dudes are FLYIN!! Love the channel btw
if you travel in here FINLAND or places like CANADA , hockey is EVERYTHING !
You Finnish fellas sure do love puck, as a Canadian I’d love to come watch a game in your country!
@@BarryB.Benson same goes other way around bro , we respect Canadiens very much !
Hahahahahaha!!!! "They ain't goingnas fast as football." "Theyngot bigger pads." Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!
You guys should do NHL fights next!
God Bless the Cartier family! Thank you lads for taking on all the subjects that you do. I learn a lot from you.
Love watching people view the excitement of hockey for the first time
fr lol
Can you imagine a Rey Lewis type of hitter in hockey? He would probably kill someone going at high velocity like that.
Let’s go been on this channel n love n play hockey. Cool collab lmao
Hey guys second time I have reply tonight cuz I just discovered you. You know what you guys are awesome to watch I'm from Canada and I wanted to say the expressions on your faces when you see the hockey hits, it's way more than even that. I challenge you as a Canadian, to you I believe you're American watch one season of hockey. Don't know where you guys are from and you can pick any team you want and stick with that team and go for the whole season if you watch one year of NHL you will be hooked, but I guarantee you if you watch boxing Day start of the world juniors you will love it even more. God bless keep being happy and keep sharing your reactions, from a Canadian female fan, I had to say female cuz everybody thinks I'm a male with Sami C ask my name but I am female from Canada God bless you guys you are awesome to watch
For context, Nate Mackinnon was clocked at like 35km/Hr this last playoffs and he’s not even considered the fastest in the league. So these guys are MOVING and physics alone will tell ya travelling that speed and coming up solid on something is big impact
Average speed during play is 20 to 25 miles per hour.
they both could be going that fast and collide
Vikings with sticks! Perfect description lololol
Sorry my friends you got it wrong about the concussions. Hockey players are almost always going faster than any football player. By perspective Chris Johnson ran 22 mph, and McDavid is hitting almost 30. Outside the extremes the avarrage speed of a puck carrier is less than the one without and they are still going 15 mph at any point. Gliding is faster than running and the result is bigger regular hits in nhl vs nfl. Concussions are a problem in the nfl more than nhl because of publicity only and maybe a little bit that it football your head goes right to the ground sometimes where hockey it’s often to the back sliding
11:50
Video> Detroit player coming in with his back
Me> Thats a "Kronwall".
11:53
REALITY> HE GOT KRONWALLED
🤣🤣🤣
Love It!!!!! Keep up the hockey reactions!!!! especially the fights!!!
as someone who loves hockey, yalls channel is awesome
As a Canadian I love this reaction video. I'm a huge fan of you guys love seeing this
2 minutes into the video they say "they coming to fast in football" meanwhile i got a REAL good idea what these top 10 hits are gonna be 😂 lovin these videos rn
"That's not a foul"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fuck no, hockey players are tough, they don't flop and cry like other sports
Guys don't fight after the game. You settle it on the ice. You square up. You don't jump people or look for people after a game. Everything's settled on the ice
On the flopping point..... yes and no, because the embellishment penalty exists. I'm also of the mindset that it's either the penalty, or embellishment.... never both.
@@chrisdietrich8944 nowadays you got more flopping especiallu from europeans (and ESPECIALLY MARCHAND) but its still less than most of the other sport
Damn straight.
In general:
Soccer players act like they're hurt.
Hockey players act like they're not.
Fouls are different I hockey, it'd be illegal if it's boarding, elbowing, charging, a head shot etc
Hockey players are a different breed. Straight up tough
I grew up watching hockey. This list has a couple of great hits but overall it was trash. No Scott Stevens in a greatest hits.... Cmon....
Where’s Probert?!?
Emelin ?
Watching you guys faces is cracking me up. This white guy grew up playing hockey since I was 6 years old. Thanks for the video
Did my guy on the right say NHL players were slower than NFL players?
Might want to rethink that.
The difference is the hits are made shoulders to shoulder, in NHL ( legal ones).
Hit to the head happen but are illegal and yes some guys had their career ended because of brain concussions (CTE stuff)
It’s not just shoulder to shoulder , there’s hip checks and just head on hits
Nashville is a very good hockey city. As a Canadian, it's really fun to see you guys making hockey culture your own!
I grew up watching hockey with my dad. If you can follow the puck while watching it can be a really fun game to watch but I get why it isn't as big as other sports in the US. Hockey absolutely has concussion issues as those hits may seem slow but they can really hurt each other out there. Hockey players on average are slightly heavier and taller than your average cornerback in the NFL.
“That’s premeditated murder”😂😂
As we always say, things happen when you’re coming through the trolly tracks.💥
My man's said Oklahoma City Bruins 😂😂😂😂😂
1996 world cup of hockey finals between Canada & USA is some of the best hockey of all time.
90s was the best era of sports. It was modern & popular enough without being pussified
They Need to Watch NHL Longest Suspensions to see the Best/Worst Actions in NHL History…It’s Lit AF🔥🔥🔥
You should check out videos from the 80’s, i remember huge fights where both teams ran out on the ice and went for it.
Kings vs Flames playoff rivalry in 1989 was epic! Do Not go after Great One! 🤣🥊🏒
The answer to 60 and 61 is yes, all you have to do is search for biggest slashes, there’s been some real dirty ones throughout the years! It’ll be pretty gruesome though so put on a seatbelt. Nice videos gents, you guys are hilarious and a good time!! Love from Canada
You guys talking about Hockey is like me talking about Soccer... amazing.
There are 32 NHL teams. I play hockey in Ohio and I’m supporting the Columbus blue jackets.😂😂😂
“that’s pre-meditated murder” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
hockey is one of the best sports to watch live CartierFamily at a hockey game would be fire
Number one rule of hockey, keep your head up!
Hockey is my absolute favorite sport to watch live. Watching 200 lb guys skating over 30 mph shooting pucks about 100 mph is a spectacle. Plus, the 200 lb players can hit each other & even throw down their gloves & punch each other in the face if they feel one of them crossed a line. On top of the hard hits & fights, the best part is seeing the agile offensive plays where players come in with speed & basically dance through the defense to score or when two or more players make pin point passes to each other on the move to score. Goalies are also amazing in how the athleticism they show keeping the puck out of the 4 ft by 6 ft net. It's a great sport, the only one I can season tickets to & keep my interest the same from beginning of the season to the end of postseason. Not ripping any other sports, hockey is just the one I love to watch, especially live. Anyone who has never watched a hockey game should give it a try. Before the game, familiarize yourself with icing & offsides. Those are the two most common reasons for stoppage in play. if you understand what's going on with those two calls, you can pick up everything else as it happens.
You guys will enjoy Sidney Crosby Go-Pro video! It is amazing!
Hockey players are a different breed. They have no fear in hitting and they all have respect for each other.
These guys are great! 😂
When they fight, helmets come off and gloves drop. 😂 love this sport
CTE is very present! Imagine if football had boards 🤦♂️ and it’s not turf either but hard ice… wearing sharp edges. Never saw a football player die with his throat cut or players still playing with dislocated shoulders
A solid hit by Kronwall will forever be my favorite. I love people discovering how violent hockey can be lol
Good content bruh and I like that USC jacket, i graduated there in 2020. Also a big hockey fan i used to play varsity hockey
Yall gotta get into hockey culture. Its awesome
0:37 The only hockey team in Oklahoma City (That I know) were the Oklahoma City Barrons (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Hockey : Come for the fights and the bodychecks, stay for the incredible skill and speed it takes to play it.
4:17 it may not look like it, but in hockey they are often going over 15, sometimes 20 MPH. Most checks are angled, so the closing speed is closer to 30 MPH, and the rule is you have to contact shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to body, or hip to hip (hip checking). If you launch upwards, raise your shoulder, stick out your elbow, or "submarine" someone by hip checking them below the hip, that's a penalty, and very often a match penalty (ejection) for intent to injure, and can get you suspended. It's because the game is so fast that the safety is emphasized, as one bad head hit can cause serious concussion issues, and CTE is a huge concern. In fact, if any check or hit to the head occurs now, that player *must* go to "the quiet room" where a concussions specialist is on stand by at every game, and if they determine that there is a concussion, that player is not allowed to return to the game, or play in any match, until cleared by medical professionals.
I don't even want the puck guys. Hilarious.
The one thing I love about hockey is you can see the difference between regular season to playoffs. these men put their bodies and sometimes life on the line to get to the greatest trophy in all of sports. they play around 80-100% in the regular season then when it comes time to the playoffs they play at 120%
“With football, your whole stomach open” exact same thing with hockey lol
subbed for the hockey!
You do that to me, we’re fighting after the game!!
Hockey players: Why wait until the game is done?
Gladiators !! Hockey Rules ! Go Bruins
Football is a physical game, whereas hockey is a collision game
And Then Do Best Line Brawls In NHL just as Lit❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
You all should post a reaction of you all watching hockey live. It’s so much different live. You’ll love it
The toughest football player wouldn't last one NHL game,
PERIOD!!!
All these hits were clean. You should see the dirty ones, and the fights that follow.
Number 1 was nuts but there are lot of better hits out there than the other 99. Love your guys content though!
There’s a documentary on fighting and cte and hitting and cte in hockey highlighting the life and death of a young player named Derek Boogard. Rip Boogs
