Hockey Players are the Toughest

WASHINGTON -- Capitals center Eric Belanger really is putting his -- well, his employer's -- money where his mouth is after losing a half-dozen or so teeth in a run-in with an opponent's stick.

Belanger says Saturday he "felt my teeth shatter, right away," when Canadiens defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron's stick hit him in the mouth in the first period of Montreal's 2-1 victory at Washington in Game 5 of their playoff series Friday night.

Belanger needed some serious dental work at the arena, getting exposed tooth roots trimmed -- then returned to the ice midway through the third period.

Explains Belanger: "I knew I was in trouble, but what are you going to do? It's the playoffs."

He expects to play in Game 6 at Montreal on Monday.

I saw Keith Tkachuk get all of his teeth knocked out this year at a Blues game.  It was bigtime dark red blood.  The kind you see and are like "Holy fucking shit !!"

Hockey player are the toughest in team sports no doubt.

When I was stationed in Iceland we had SkyOne as one of the feeds.  I spent many drunken nights watching cricket and trying to figure it out.....never did, except everybody seemed to like drinking rum at the matches.

VERY simply put...what the video disen't say is that each team has 300 pitches (balls) to score as many runs as possible...the 300 pitches are divided into overs. 6 pitches = 1 over...so each team faces 50 overs.
each (pitcher)bowler is allowed a max of 10 overs or 60 pitchesthe rest is explained below

Hockey's a good sport it's just too expensive for most people. Rink time and the gear cost a bundle. It's something you have to be born into.

Could be your calling man, they have players that just sit on the bench then get in the game just to start fights and take people out what do you think aout that job?

no mate thats just one day cricket...test cricket the match lasts five days, no limit on number of balls that can be bowled except you must get through at least ninety overs a day. the team which can bowl the other side out twice for the lowest score wins, its not that hard.
