For The Buffalonians
I’ve seen this clip on a few sites, notably Deadspin, and my friend Gabe from Buffalo just sent it to me. It’s a clip of Sabres Defenseman Brian Campbell levelling the Flyers’ R.J. Umberger in game one of their playoff series from Saturday night. And it’s not for the faint of heart. Mini Update: I tried to embed this video, but it’s taking way too long to load for some reason, so you’ll just have to click on the link.
If someone did that to me I would start crying immediately and refuse to play hockey ever again. Honestly, I would just shake my head as tears streamed down my face and tell my mom that I hate hockey and I never want to play again. At least that’s what I did when I was eight years old and some kid kicked me right in the shins at a soccer game at Delaware Park.
On a related note, if anyone has footage of the time Lindy Ruff attacked New York Islanders’ goalie Billy Smith or when Jim Schoenfeld called Don Koharski a fat pig and told him to “go eat another donut,” I might be willing to pay money for that.
Sorry all you non-Buffalo hockey fans. This probably could not be less interesting to you. Taste it, Camper Guy!
