New direction

further notice this is my new sports blog i guess ill rename it but ok. now im all sports'd up.

Anatomy of a Hockey Fight

My side hobby is Hockey, and the sub hobby of that hobby is watching and critiquing...is that right? anyways hockey fights from the nhl. This first video doesn't fall under the critiques of most fights but this caught my interest because T.J. Oshie is my favorite player, probably of all time no matter how many points he gets, how many games he plays, or what team he plays for hopefully he will be a Blue forever but that's here nor there anyway im rambling first up.

tj oshie vs ryan wilson-Oshie's first mistake was trying to grab Wilson's shirt with his gloves. This gives Wilson perfect opportunity to make the first move in which he did. Oshie was great because he fought someone bigger than him. Ryan Wilson is probably the only person to really hammer Oshie i.e. a few games back where he annihilated him. Oshie's other mistake is fighting with a visor on; which a no no in the NHL today. if you're going to fight either don't have a visor or take the helmet off. Oshie got some haymakers in there but it did nothing to stun or knock over the gigantic Wilson. I kind of hope this is Oshie's only fight because he's a class act player and doesn't respond to chirping, cheapshotting, or retaliations against him and i think he should keep it that way.

jesse boulerice vs aaron downey- The mistake here is that Boulerice didn't try and grab the jersey, he tried to knockout Downey and missed. This is sort of a bowing out of the great scrums before the NHL lockout where every team had a "goon"to enforce the ice.

Gary Roberts vs Ben Eager- The lesson learned from this fight is never ever ever ever fight a guy who played in the 90's. The 90's most fights were "punch a thons" where there was no "turtle-ing" no blocks just a minute or two of just punching each others faces until someone gave up.

The lesson here is "Pest's Get Squashed" Derek Dorsett and Jordin Tootoo are what i call "wannabees" because they cant fight and they cant play professional hockey but yet they are on Nhl teams. Derek Dorsett has neither the size nor the skill to be an nhl player or fighter. i have yet to see a fight in which he wins. Jordin Tootoo is a cheapshotting, annoying pest who i will concede gets points but with that mangled face and drinking problem isn't swaying my vote on him.

The Showman Tony Twist really turned the enforcer into a commodity in the NHL he embraced his role and flaunted it with many bouts with Rob Ray, Bob Probert (RIP) and the like.

THE WEEKLY TOP FIVE

this week's top five is going to be funny things i remember from chris nickel's birthday.

5-aj smith's way of dealing with cats in afghanistan.

4-reading one of dan cranford's drunken texts and realizing mid sentence that it would morally compromise him in front of his new girlfriend.

3-dan's girlfriend talking about her gynocological stories

2-getting denied at bossanova

1-constantly putting a pickle down my shirt at the cajun.

Gotta get my Net-Fix.

hello there people that may or may not be reading this. i want to talk about netflix. i have had this application for some months now and i have not used it to its full potential. i am in love with the online streaming via Xbox live. i don't care much for getting dvds mailed to me and i hope in the future every movie ever can be streamed online ( if this exists please tell me). my only disapointment is that alot of movies i like to watch over and over and over and over again aren't included like Spies Like Us, Fanboys, Predator, etc. etc. i also like how they update the tv shows when a new episode comes on like the new Spartacus Gods of the Arena episodes.

i am sitting here sweating, and rapid eye movementing around the room because i need my netfix. i am currently "on and offing" JFK, which is a joke facts wise even though i believe there to be a conspiracy but the movie's acting does give merit. i was happy to find out that OSS 117 can be streamed, if you have not seen this movie its like a french version of Austin Powers. I never thought foreign movies could make me laugh until now. There was also an Indian movie i want to see, it has the guy who was the host on the Indian Who Wants To Be a Millionaire in Slumdog Millionaire.

Game of the Week- The Armored Core Series.

What a ground breaking series known as Armored Core. The revolutionary customization packages and game play made the Armored Core series one of the best games from the ps1-ps2 era. The game reminds me of Gran Turismo but instead of a car you're building a heavily armed robot that you fight other robots for money and fame.

Greatest Opponent- Jack Brockus SHOWTIME baby
Strangest Design- Firestorm-all red and orange with left hand flame thrower, napalm arm rockets, and fire rockets.

The WEEKLY Top Five Chinpokomon.

i recently picked up Pokemon Yellow again.

my goals are simple but yet complex at the same time.
i want to play the game and not end up with a fucking Gengar or an Alakazam or a Legendary Bird for god sake. all i want is some barebones lineup that will get the job done. i dont care for anything thats more than 151 pokemon so all that other shit can just go to hell.

TOP 5

1- Hypno

2-Cloister

3-Vileplume

4-RADICATEEEEE

5-Dugtrio

end.

Whirling Dervish of thoughts.

Quick! play this while you read.

Not too long ago some friends and I busted out the old time game consoles namely n64, snes, and nes. If youre a fucking idiot those stand for nintendo 64, super nintendo entertainment system, and nintendo entertainment system. Those buffoons were wasting their time with donkey kong and mario kart 64. I showed up with my cache of great video games, not to mention there was no fucking Mega Man to be seen. I whipped out the greats.

Mario All Star (snes)-basically to play what Mario Lost Levels which was supposed to be the true Mario 2.

"fuck the physics of Mario All Star i cant play that shit."-J-sal.

My ultimate favorite game since i was like 8

UN SQUADRONNNNNN

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxv5A3xZnm8
