[guess_who]

ESPN ranking sports by difficulty

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/sportSkills

1.) boxing
2.) hockey
3.) football

[stasgolbom]

most hockey players are short, therefor you dont need to be extremely big to move them, everyone is on skates and agility is much more important

lol ovechkin 6'2
malkin 6'3


thats short?


ovechkin is also 237lbs for 6'2 thats ****ing huge

thing is most of their work is done with the legs and not arms

i bet if you do a squat competition NHL will woop everyones ass.

[Hardcore_D00d]

Where did u get ur info? 150 isnt that much im sure pro hockey guys are a lot stronger than that.

[havoc00]

Rick Rypien is alpha

[Head Coach]

u mad a 160lb'r would beat the living shi-t out of you on ice?

[guess_who]

lol arent they highschool kids?

the 2009 nhl combine was all kids born in 1990 or 1991.

so im guessing the 2010 will be 1991's or 1992's.

lol yeah tackling people on soft grass at a whopping 10-12 mph running speed is pretty crazy...

And another lol at not being able to embed it. It's the rare and allusive double fail.

ya, you get drafted when you are 18 or 19 and the combine is before the draft so some kids are 17 when it takes place

[BSV.Tombstone]

thank you for injecting some logic into this thread...

NHL draft = 17 and 18 year olds. most of whom wont see the actual NHL for a couple more years.

NFL draft = 21+ year olds who are done with college. they have had 4 more years to develop.

HS Football combines still destroy those lifts.

[AceMuscle22]

Well the draft year for this year is 1992 and late 1991 birthdates. All 17 and 18 year old kids not 25 year old men

[Moh7]

you think its the falling part that hurts or the part were the 200lb safety and 200lb running back run full speed at each other?

there not going as fast, those hits aren't even that big, they're landing on grass. i could post hits like this all day, they happen WAY more in hockey.

let me introduce you to scott steven



o ya hockey players can skate a hell of a lot faster then those nfl guys can run

[Davis_Ever]

Negged, hockey is one of the most demanding sports in the world.

OP may be an idiot but hes right that hockey players arent in the same area code as far as athleticism when compared to NBA and NFL players. Ive played against some of the best from each sport (in high school) and (future) NBA players had friggen ridiculous athleticism while hockey players were good, they weren't mind blowing.

[YolkedBrah]

u mad a 160lb'r would beat the living shi-t out of you on ice?

lol sure she would

nice bicep peak btw haha

[TheStack]

They are only 18 year old when they do the combine. Also, hockey involves leg/core strength more than pectoral/arm muscles.

[guess_who]

hockey isnt about lifting. if you look at hockey players they are built for speed and agility, not exactly lifting abilities.

[buresnipes]

you think its the falling part that hurts or the part were the 200lb safety and 200lb running back run full speed at each other?

so you think two guys running at 12 mph is going to hurt more then two guys skating at up to 30 mph?

[Montre]

People need a better grasp of physics. Hitting hockey is using nothing but legs to propel yourself on a super slick surface to impact the opponent with your body weight + pads at the fastest possible speed you can skate.

Results are best if you're charging them into a wall made of hard plastic and glass that is very, very, very unforgiving.

All the while doing this with 2 blades strapped to your feet on a field of ice. Tell me skating is easier than running. Tell me skating while guarding a small puck with a stick is easier than running with a ball until you eventually have someone bear hug you to the ground. Tell me getting crushed between a wall and a 200+ lb man charging you faster than runspeed is easier than getting impacted at runspeed and hitting air / grass. Tell me getting hit in possibly open body parts with a rubber puck at 100 mph, or a human body, or a hockey stick is easier than getting hugged and the odd time body checked.

Hockey is such a pussy sport. The only sport rougher is rugby and lacross because they actually beat you down with the ****ing stick.

[Davis_Ever]

lol ovechkin 6'2
malkin 6'3


thats short?


ovechkin is also 237lbs for 6'2 thats ****ing huge

thing is most of their work is done with the legs and not arms

i bet if you do a squat competition NHL will woop everyones ass.

lmfao...WHAT? Are you serious? NFL would blow NHL away...strong fail

[Monkey Helmet]

you think its the falling part that hurts or the part were the 200lb safety and 200lb running back run full speed at each other?

Again, the speeds are a joke compared to skating speeds. I'd much rather get hit by a 200lb guy while we're running head on than a 200lb guy while skating head on.

i'm not a fan of hockey but i know its a very demanding sport. that being said hockey hits have been "measured" and are nowhere near as damaging as football or rugby.

when the hockey player breaks the glass off the boards he actually feels less pain then when it doesn't shatter because when it shatters thats the forces dispersing in the glass. when it doesn't shatter the force comes back.

the glass breaking it making it a "big hit" is only an illusion.
