These NSFW mic’d up hockey fights will make you love the NHL even more
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
This is a small sampling of just how great mic’d up hockey fights really are. Normally the whole “mic’d up” thing is boring. Players know they’re on tape, thereby being on their best behavior -- coaches are normally more reserved. When it comes to hockey nobody gives a single (expletive). Here’s a small sampling of some of the best quotes:
- To ref: “I really don’t want to f***ing kill Giroux tonight”
- “I am worried about a f***ing water bottle. It’s our f***ing water bottle.”
- “Suck it, eyebrows!”
- “C’mon Chelios you old f***, skate!”
Seriously, watch the whole series. They’re incredible.
