Cheapshots

[JKidd]

Good afternoon fellas.

Pretty dead in here, so figured I'd see what's up on a subject near and dear to some of our hearts... cheap shots.

I'm sure we've been on the receiving end, and dealing end of some nasty cheap shots from all sports... what are some of the ones you've taken, and given?

Had a hockey game yesterday morning, and took a pretty nasty, clearly intentional elbow, right to the head, so that's what prompted this discussion.

I've taken a lot over the years, and given a few too haha.

Worst ones I've gotten were both in Junior hockey. One was in a preseason game and there was a loose puck near the boards in the neutral zone. Me and another guy are racing for it and when he realizes I'm gonna get there first he gives me one of those little taps from behind that sends you flying when you are off balance. Pretty much went headfirst into the boards. A couple people watching the game told me they thought my neck was broken for sure. ANyways I got up and crosschecked the guy across the face. (We all had to wear cages at the time) and we dropped the mitts. I'm not a small man but he had about 3 inches and 25 pounds on me and held me at bay and the linesys came in. I couldn't really turn my head for about a week after. Fast forward 6 years and I'm working right beside the guy at a sawmill. Turned out to be a pretty decent guy.

The other one was in a different junior league that was pretty dirty and rough. I was on the wing behind the play as it was heading back to our end. Their d-man came up behind me and cross checked me in the back of the neck for absolutely no reason. Pain just shot down my spine like nothing I'd ever felt. I don't think another person in the rink saw it happen. I never even saw the guy who did it and never knew which d man it was.

One other one was in mixed slo-pitch. I hit a double and trotted into second and the throw came rolling in late. The girl playing second picked it up with her bare hand and turned and smoked me in the nuts with it in a lame attempt to tag me while I was standing on the base. She tried to play it off as an accident but she was the kind of broad to do it on purpose. I just let it go cause I'm not the type of guy to start yelling at a girl in a mixed slopitch game. Plus she was kind of hot.

in a BJJ tourney i was once fish hooked so bad i needed 7 stitches on the inside of my cheek... also have had my balls hit, squeezed. some people are ****in sick

track.. during a 4x100 relay i had an opposing guy step into my lane and trip me during the handoff. it looked like a fell off a motorcycle

football.. way too many to name. from an opponent and from me.

I too have a few from Softball, we played last year in our year end tournament (fastpitch) - I was covering a play on second and the base runner slid in, a good 3 seconds after i caught the ball and lifted his leg and cleated me on top of the knee, 19 stitches, and i was gone for the season and my knee hasn't been the same since.

I was pitching against him this past summer and gave him some chin music off his helmet, i was hoping for the jaw though.

Other than that, just a few punches when i was in a fight in hockey or something - I got suspended for the rest of the season because i two handed the bastard in the ribs after he threw an stupid elbow at my buddy who just got back from a concussion. He dropped, and i jumped on him with punches... I haven't played since, haha.

I used to play rugby and was a scrum half so stayed out of a lot of the physical play but I used to run my mouth a lot and would use the boot when the ref wasnt looking a couple of times I got caught late or high in tackles mostly deserved.

In soccer I've always played in goal or left back. In goal I've taken my share of "accidental" kicks to the head but the worst that ever happened to me was jumping for a ball and the guy didnt even bother contending just pushed my legs as I was in the air next thing I know I'm heading for the floor head first. Not fun.

I enjoy getting under peoples skin in game I love it. A couple of times I've had players switch wings cause I was annoying them so much. Little things like whistling in their ears from corners little stamp on their toes and always a hard tackle.

Funniest thing i was involved in as far as cheapshot was we were playing another team in softball and the other pitcher was being a complete punk, so my friend said in between innings i am gonna fire the softball at his head. So just the kids luck he hits the ball to him his next at bat, he throws to me at first i let it go SMACK right in the head kid is out cold, 911 Please. Trust me punk deserved it

I remember a guy I played rugby with dropping a knee on a guy at the bottom of the ruck. He didn't move for a little bit. It was ugly and nasty.

THe only cheap shots Ive been a part of have been in small town fights. Starts out all nice and then pow, 4 guys all suckerpunched at once. Oh high school days...

[IhateLindros]

Playing Baseball in high school I went 12 for 12 in a series against another school. I came up in the last few innings of the final game of the series. The coach yells out to his pitcher "Hey, this guy's 50-50 against us, lets do something about it."

Next pitch hit me right in the face.
***

Playing college hockey, we were winning a game 6-0 in the final game of the first round if the playoffs and the opposing team was playing really aggressive with about a minute to go. They dumped the puck in and the smallest guy on our team went into the corner to retrieve the puck. This clown railroads him into the boards with about 30 seconds to go. Not even close to being a legal hit. I was the closest to the play so I drop my gloves and go with the guy. In College it is required to wear full cages/shields so dropping the gloves probably wasnt the smartest thing to do but I was going for his helmet. Soon we both are helmetless and trying to throw punches. Both of us are holding on and not much is going on. Ref gets in between us and things clam down. He looks at me and I say "I'm done." I let go and this fukker leads with his head and headbutts me right in the face twice. All hell broke loose there because now all bets are off. I teed off on that POS and it took all of the refs and some teammates to separate us.

In 6th grade roller hockey (not allowed to check), some douchebag kid charged at me and knocked me down while I was trying to get the ball out of my skates. I fell down, got up, and crosschecked him in the mid section. He got penalized and I didn't

Oh my God, no way. I would have butt ended you in the mouth that way you would have an example that wasn't so lame.

, I hope you are kidding, if not that is F'd up dude

I got sucker punched in a crowded bar once at a Megadeth show, knocked me ****ing coocoo for a few seconds. Can you believe that? A nice guy like me that never bothers anyone getting sucker punched? Anyway, my friend I was with was in front of me so he never saw who did it, a couple of chicks that did see it were pointing in one direction saying "That guy over there, with the black shirt by the door did it." It was a bar with a heavy metal band playing, 90% of the guys were wearing a black shirt, thanks whore.

I don't think I've ever been cheapshotted while playing a 'real' sport, but last year in floor hockey (Gym class) some dumbass slashed me in the back of the ankle.

I was playing street hockey last year and my friend was playing goalie. He decides to hit me in the back of the head with the blocker. I dropped my stick and grabbed on. I threw one right that missed and then another one that caught him on the nose. I let go, checked my hand (like a boss), and got him some paper towels.

That's about all. Sorry...I don't have any awesome stories.

I was playing street hockey last year and I got clocked in the back of the head by the goalie. I gave him a big bloody nose.

I'm just giving devil17 a hard time.

The worst ones I ever got were pickup games like that because it seems like there is always some psycho that thinks he's playing in the NHL or some ****, you know the guys that are partially retarded or something and gets way too into it. Getting whacked in the back of the leg, wrist, whatever.

This one turd in college slashed me in my back, I mean hard, while playing a roller hockey pickup game in a damn parking lot. Hurt like hell, so I spent the rest of the "game" shadowing him and tripping him up or putting the blade of my stick under his skates and he would go down like a sack of ****, splat. It took 9 or 10 times (did I mention he was stupid) of him getting winded and hands scratched up by the asphalt for the dumbass to figure out what I was doing. The next time I did it the ****er comes charging at me swinging his stick like some kind of psycho like the movie "Water Boy" where Adam Sandler would just loose his **** and go berserk.

So this nut job is coming at me swinging his stick like a ****ing axe with his face just blood red with anger while I'm skating backwards getting away from this guy trying not bust my ass because I'm laughing so hard and that's just pissing him off more. Some of the guys finally grabbed him and took him to the ground so he would calm down and I just got the **** out of there. Call me a ***** or chicken **** but I know for a fact that this inbred retard was going to club me in the skull the first chance he had and I'm not to fond of getting put into a coma.

oh god... this thread was made for me

lets start from the beginning...

first year we were allowed to body check i absolutely laid a guy out center ice his head was down and i came across flying and boom he was on his back, we had this kid on our team that was a loose cannon to the max as this pour guy i laid out was getting back up on his knees this kid on me team but ended him right through the cage and knocked out all of his front teeth... it was dirty and that was the kids last game as he was kicked out of minor hockey...

last year bantam we were in a tourney any suspensions there didnt count against our league games and we were in the tourney final down by alot so i seen it as open season.. so im out there and there was this guy that kept talking to me but i had no idea what he was saying i take it he was talking **** (atleast i hope so) so we were behind the play and he is talking to me so so i take my stick and swing it directly around my body as hard as i can and connected right at his ankle.. he went down i skated to the bench and didnt even get a penalty.. no doubt broken ankle the assistant coach lost it on me (pretty sure he was the only one that saw it)

same year last year bantam final game of the season we were down by one goal and i was out there with a minute left.. puck was on the goal line all i had to do was tap it in send it to overtime as im going to tap it in i get rocked like i have never been hit before in my life and didn't get the chance to put it past the goalie.. im choked (still haunts me today i didn't score that goal) anyways plays called dead goalie covered the puck my coach calls a time out.. i skate back to the bench and i go up to my coach and said im gunna ****ing fight some one he gets mad at me says dont even say that **** just try score a goal.. nope not happening... im at the top of the circle "Waiting for a one timer" the puck was dropped i skated as fast as i could head down and run the goalie right over his head smoked off the crossbar and he was down and out... little melee ensued after the game my coach lost it on me..

2nd year midget (im an experienced fighter for midget at this time) im playing a game against our teams main rival (me and there captain fought multpile times that season still cant stand him) anyways im out there and they had this little **** disturber that was always lipping off.. so plays dead in my end that little ****er comes up to me and starts lipping off so i throw a pretty big gloved right hand on his cage out of no where (total sucker punch) and actually KO'd him big melee ensued and all i remember was there captain coming after me and the linesmen grabbed him and he said next game its on .. i got a 5 game suspension for that one and had a really really ****ty fight with him next time we played him (stortini hug fight)

first year junior (same year as second year midget got the call up to junior b) im on a team that was unreal good im 16 years old and i kinda figured why i was there (hence my average of 30 seconds a game) there was an overage player (21) on the other team skating with his head down and i matt cooke'd him right to his head he did get up and dropped the gloves the captain on our team (who was 20 and his size) skated up and took him on.. but that was the dirtiest hit i have ever done in my life...

next year on a different junior team (long story) im playing on the reserve junior team and it was a very very broke team (team folded next season) and the rink we played in was utter ****.. mice and bats all over the arena (thought i seen a skunk in the stands at practice once) but there was a stantion in the corner that was very very very loose and everytime you would hit a person the glass would fall out.. needless to say this became our weapon we would try all game to line some one up with that piece of glass.. lots of people got Chara on max'd...

the same year me and my buddy decided to drop down to midget B (he was junior A and i was Junior B) needless to say it wasn't even fair and this is when i got the dirtiest...So my buddy averaged about 8 goals a game and i was mostly there for protection (still got a **** ton of goals think my stats were 82 goals and 246 penalty minutes (i will never for get my penalty minutes that year) in 42 games

so one story is my buddy just got his 12th goal of the game and he is skating up the ice then the other teams goon starts cross checking my buddy in the head while im on the bench just as our defence were changing so i run to the defenceside of the bench left my gloves and stick in the bench skated out there and laid an epic ass whooping on a unsuspecting guy (i think he knew what was going on after the 4th punch) tuned him right in.. did some hand gestures after (but thats another story)

were in a tourney that year aswell and im on fire that tourney i was playing like i have never played before i was on ****ing fire!!! it was the first period and i had my 5th goal that period and i started to get dirtied alot and this one dick on the other team kept sticking me and slashing me pretty rank.. so i go up to the ref and say hey watch his stick its getting pretty bad.. next shift im behind the play and he is skating right behind me and starts to stick his blade up my ass so i turn around and two hand him so ****ing hard right on the shins all you hear in the arena is a loud WHAP!!! the ref turns around i put my hands up like "he did it again" and he is laying on the ice he got a penalty for getting two handed haha... that same game ended in a pretty nice line brawl (i was on the bench for that one)

my last minor hockey game i ****ing let er buck... 3rd period starts im out there i say **** it i jump a guy and start tossing punches he turtles i get a 2 and a 10.. so im in the box for 12 minutes now and the whistle blows i start skating to the bench my penalty is served im going to the bench my coach says stay out there so im skating to where the face off is about to be and the players skating off start pushing and shoving i go in there and shed the mitts i was punching everyone got a **** ton of penalty minutes and a suspension which included leaving the penalty box to instigate a fight (bull****) needless to say havent played a serious game since..

now for some quick stories...

i got dirtied once in try outs by a kid i couldnt stand stuck his elbow up during a scrimage and smoked me in the head.. concussion

at the end of everyone of my midget games my coach would put me center for the last faceoff and i would "bulldog" people.. as soon as the pucked dropped i charged like a defensive lineman got some big hits out of that...
