FDNY won the game 8-5, this is their fifth consecutive victory.
So all I need to do is move to New York, get hired as a fire fighter, practice some hockey and I can punch cops in the face a few times a year?
NYPD team aghast when orders for the firefighters to drop their weapons go unanswered and after reaching for their guns only to realise they don't have them.
Saw this beaut over on the hockey subreddit. People in the thread mentioned cops were super unhinged and looking at the game as a way to beat the shit out of other humans. So the fact that got their ass handed to them and lost the game is amazing.
Lol he's a cop, he's a modern, militarized, On Killing-reading cop, fighting is supposed to be his whole job and he got owned. Then again, the modern cop is nothing without body armor, an assault rifle and a platoon's worth of backup.
firefighter = does actual community service, faces actual danger, saves people and animals, seen as a positive institution by all
police = 🤮 🤮 , will shoot you and your dog, is racist
Unfortunately many firefighters where I am are also chuds but at least they don't give them guns and they still do the whole fighting fires thing.
In the end a chud firefighter is still going to pull you out of a burning building, vs a cop who will let school shooters run wild and randomly kill people
Googled the cop:
Unused twitter account where he retweets fox news
He's been disciplined by the NYPD for abusing his authority on three occasions that have been reported. i searched the nypd records too but only those came up.
He's a ranked sergeant of the command "SPORTS UNIT" if you ever need to argue about defunding the nypd
I still think it's hilarious and instructive that the NYPD took a hiatus and crime decreased
Good job you dumbass pigs, proved our point
How the fuck do you work in a fake unit and still get multiple complaints
I'm obviously ignorant of this kinda thing... But I thought that they were cracking down on hockey fights due to long-term brain damage.
Technically, you're not supposed to fight and will get penalized at professional levels (or thrown out of the game and suspended at amateur levels), but that doesn't mean people are going to stop. It's too valuable as a tool to police the game when refs are doing a bad job, or fire up your teammates when not doing well. Fighting has reduced a LOT, like, it does not happen anywhere close to as much as it used to, but it's probably never going to go away completely.
NHL fights are not as violent as this anymore, usually it’s just a few light punches and holding.
a few light punches and holding
The tagline for 50 More Shades of Grey just dropped.
lmao wasn't expecting them to just square up and throw hands nowhere near the puck, is this a regular thing in hockey?
Less regular recently, but still happens. Only 20 years ago though this was very very common. There were players whose entire career was “the enforcer” who were only decent at hockey in professional terms but protected other, more highly skilled players from other teams dirty play or violence on the ice. The position still exists, at least tacitly, on most teams
I knew a dude who was an enforcer, he was huge, like 6'9" and 300 lbs, he said the only time he got scared was when he was pounding a dude in the face and the guy just smiled at him with bloody gums. Hockey players are something else.
Depends on the league and how lenient the refs are, but it's not uncommon. Peeling off the gloves and fisticuffing is a bit odd though.
I mean, the joke is among us hockey fans that we went to a boxing match and a hockey game broke out. It's not really all that true anymore, to be completely honest, but it used to be. It's still a very physical game, and you will see a lot of pushing and shoving, and maybe someone takes a quick swing here and there, but fights are rare these days. All out brawls even rarer. A few decades ago, though, fighting and bench clearing brawls were quite common. I mean, “Fight Night at the Joe” (or “Brawl in Hockeytown”) is considered one of the sport's greatest moments for a reason. Quite a few documentaries have been made about that night, and the anniversary of it is celebrated every year. But, if something like that were to happen today, it would be SHOCKING.
One of my favorite more subtle running jokes on Reno 911 was that the fire fighters were so much cooler and chill than the cops.
I wish it would have gone like the Red Wings/Avalanche melee from back in the day
:sicko-wistful:
Makes sense, given the physique of the average firefighter vs the average cop
I love the way they casually skate into range in an almost classical turn-of-the-century boxing stance lol
