> Game moves incredibly fast because one can skate way faster than they could run
> huge collisions due to the speed of the game (the guys aren't NFL size, but the collisions can be faster, and more games in a season, so it adds up)
>Goalies have to face 90+ mph shots through screens and tipped pucks, and still regularly put up ~ .910 save percentages. The whole game is in their hands, doesn't matter how well your team is playing if your goalie is swiss cheese. Similarly a goalie can completely shut down an opposing team and steal a game for their team when the team as a whole doesn't play well

Every year after the playoffs you hear about 6-7 guys playing through injuries that they really should be sidelined for.

Dudes in speedos playing grab ass and water volley ball. Difficult? Yes. Alpha? No.

Either endurance racing (like Le mans or Sebring), SuperKarts (140mph, suspension & seat belt lacking, full bodied go karts racing on actual race tracks... like Le Mans), moto gp (for reasons), or rally (or obvious reasons)

>>727107801
Hockey

>>727117059
Football is gay, but hockey players are not getting hit harder than football players. Idiot. Not to mention the smallest football players (except wide receivers) are the size of the biggest hockey players.

>>727116728
This is the only real answer. What other sports have this many deaths?

"Between 1949 and 1976 the TT had World Championship status, until deemed too dangerous. Surely riders would stop coming to such a perilous event that carried no official status. But still they came, year after year."

"Death is, inevitably, the unmentioned guest at the feast. In 100 years, 223 people have been killed in the TT or the Isle of Man GP (on the same course). It is a horrible, tragic statistic. But it is not one the riders are unaware of. They know the risk, and they embrace it. They ride not in spite of danger, but because of it. "

>>727117403

never said the hits were HARDER per say, there's just way more games and the speed of the hits somewhat make up for the smaller size of the players in terms of momentum. also, even though the friction is less, ice is much harder than turf/grass so they're just different types of impacts

Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only sports. Everything else is a game.

>>727118121
>more games
Football players get hit literally every play.......

>ice is harder
Barely (most turf is an inch or two over cement), they all wear pads, falling on the ice (or turf) is negligible. The hits are what matters. And football players get hit way harder way more often than hockey players. Dealwithit.jpg

Sport (UK) or sports (US) are all usually forms of competitive physical activity or games which,[1] through casual or organized participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases, entertainment for spectators.

Saying auto racing is a sport is like saying astronauts are pro athletes.

>>727116825
so, nigger mindset is alpha. got it

>>727120505
You know racing, in particular bike racing is one of the most calorie intensive activities you can partake in right? Thus making it physical, requiring skill and enjoyment to both competitors and spectators.

“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.”

― Ernest Hemingway

Motor sport isn't alpha because all the guys who do it are weaklings, barely above jockeys, and jockeys are much fitter

>>727120854
Nope, never raced competitively either but the figures are out there and trials racing along with surfing are about as calorie intensive as you get, plenty of professional riders clock over 1k calories per hour.

His absolute bleeding asshole of a "father" is probably why he was arrogant. I ran into both of them when I went to the Winter Classic. I wanted to just go off on Bobby but it was a business lunch.

I hate that the Hawks keep parading him around as an 'ambassador', and I've been a fan since the "Ed Belfour v. a hotel suite in St. Louis" days. Why the fuck do they have to pick Bobby to represent the team? It almost makes me want to be a Leafs fan

honestly i'm a pretty big Leafs fan this year, I live in STL so i'm mainly a Blues fan but just by default. went to the Leafs game when they came here back in Feb and i found myself rooting for Matthews and Marner

concerning the Blackhawks, I instinctively hate them, but that's mainly just by default too, plus i fucking hate all the bandwaggoning faggots who root for them. Chicago is general has the biggest bunch of shitlord faggots for fans, no offense buddy you seem alright Lol. deep down i appreciate and respect the players as individuals, but every time i see that fucking blackhawk logo the rage boils in me

pretty stoked for the playoffs, really hoping them Leafs make a push. also really hoping the Blues hold onto the third seed and play against the suddenly terrible Wild in round 1, cause i know damn sure they can't take the hawks down in round 1 two years in a row
