Was gonna post this, but the football one. First thing that came to mind.

That's not right, what the Ek!

Minnesota didn't even win. What a sacrifice.

Scorekeeping is kind of a mess this year.

Atta boy Ek

Good to see a little heart on the Wild

 

[Kamina]

Holy shit. Shades of Anton Volchenkov here.

Wait, really? Would suck if true, and I do wonder what advanced data would say about risk/reward in blocking shots..

but that was still fun to watch. Love the third one- dude just seems to have accepted it. "f*** it, blast another one Shea, I'm not moving. Dick."

Yes really. He left the game shortly after doing the 3 blocks, never returned.

Mankind sure has evolved from "Man getting hit in the groin with a football."

Minny played the worst pro hockey game ive ever seen. They were beyond awful, gotta feel for their fans. Theyre a great hockey market.. they deserve better.

The gong show has to end, that was brutal to watch.

I Remember his dad Claes Eriksson used to do self-sacrificing stuff like that too for Färjestad in the SHL, a real playoff-warrior he was.
Some playoff-bound team should trade for Joel merely to play him in do or die games, if he has his dads character he would excel then. Whit the Wild, there wont be such games for a long time it seems.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Yikes, guess it wasn't really worth it.

 

[dBoon]

One of the Wild highlights of the season so far....

 

[EP40 AKA Lil Wayne]

Considering the score sheet it was not only brave but dumb.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Stupid, we need to stop preaching shot blocking in the sport so much, guy may be seriously hurt and people are cheering this shit
