The SOCCER FAN Reacts to " MIC'D UP NHL TRASH TALK " | THIS SHOCKED ME! 

Sorry for the random cuts - RU-vid made me trim it lol

My favourite chirp of all time was when Mark Recchi asked Stu Grimson "if his parents named him Stu because they couldn't spell stupid" now that's some grade A schoolyard trash talk.

@4:40 you can hear him say “what shoulder?” He was asking this because the other player had hurt his shoulder previously in the season and was still recovering so he was making sure he didn’t grab ahold of his hurt shoulder during the fight. This is why hockey is the classiest sport in the world. He knew he needed to fight him, but he didn’t want to injure him. Class act.

Every once an a while they’ll mic up a player. But a lot of it actually picked up by mic’s around the glass etc.

There's some classic mic'd up stories. I remember one time they had Scotty Bowman who was the legendary hockey coach mic ed up. His assistant came over and said the guy was hit so hard he couldn't tell me his name. Bowman without flinching said, " tell him he's Wayne Gretzky and send them back out there"

Fighting is basically a way for the players to either help police themselves from a player playing dirty, or it can be used to try and fire up your team. Not everyone is mic’d up but they will usually have one or two mic’d up most games. And yes that was an outdoor game. The NHL throws a few of them a year in football or baseball stadiums. They can be quite interesting as the weather starts to play a factor in the games.

5:57 he’s says “you hit me tonight you’re getting evicted.” Bobby Ryan used to play for the ducks so he owns a house in Anaheim and he rents it out to the guy he was talking to.

Trash talk is the second most important part of hockey first is remembering to wear your cup. 😂🤣 Your reaction was priceless 😲😂

I absolutely love how you’re always asking questions about the game. Like it’s so obvious that you’re genuinely interested in hockey, that’s why I love watching all your videos

There’s trash talking all the time in hockey. Idea try not to look away hockey Mostly called chirps They use mic’s for fun I guess

All hockey players are at least bilingual, they are fluent in English and cursing.

You gotta watch: Best of Wes McCauley. Freaking Wes is a ref but man he’s funny 😂

The reason the guy on Philadelphia said to prust on montreal which shoulder was because at the time prust had a dislocated shoulder. Shows sportsmanship in hockey

3:45 he called him a pigeon, which is hockey slang for a player who only does well when other more skilled players are doing all the work for him.

The Sedin twins (Daniel and Henrik) - they played their entire lives together and had unmatched chemistry. They would throw blind passes to one another that were unlike any other duo ever in NHL history

There was a player years ago named Esa Tikkanen. The Tik, they called him, because of how annoying he was. He would trash talk constantly, but he spoke in a weird combination of languages no one else understood. The other Finnish players couldn't understand him any more than the English speakers could. Tikkanese his language was called.

Most of the time it doesn't matter if they are wearing mics or not. They chirp each other all the time.

The trash talk is an institution all to itself, generally it's a 'chirp' or 'chirping' and it starts right from the beginning. As for being mic'd up, that is also a regular occurrence, they change who get's mic'd up and the BEST moments are when people forget to warn their teammates, or when they sometimes didn't realize or forgot they themselves were mic'd up. It's great! MAN I miss hockey!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:01 "hey turn around" hahaha so he can see his name to know who he is. Lol best chirp ever !!

Give the show "Letterkennny" a look if you havent already. Chirping is an art all hockey players learn.

Sometimes the tv guys put a mic on the player for "game sounds" very little makes it onto tv as you can tell. Trash talk is a constant, chirping is part of the game.

I was at a game (minor league) once where two guys got into a fight, went to the penalty boxes, kept yelling at each other through the entire penalty time, and promptly got into another fight after their penalties were over. Yes, planned fights happen in hockey.

Yeah that was an outdoor game! It’s called the winter classic, happens every year. Also fights are often times talked about beforehand, but not always. “What is violence anyways” is the best quote by anyone in the NHL ever, I lost my damn mind when he said that

Matt Martin. He was the guy they told the other guy to “ go dye his hair “ !! He’s one of my favourite enforcers. Currently playing for NY Islanders !! 🔥

Sometimes they Mic up players to get some fun audio clips. It doesn’t happen all the time. Sometimes the cameras closest to the ice pick up some curse words too.

Watch the movie “ice guardians” on Netflix ,it’s all about enforcers in hockey.

Steve Ott: I'm fifth in the league so I'm probably gonna win it right there. Also Steve Ott: Loses faceoff cleanly.

You'd love some letterkenny, Adam.

When you learn hockey as a kid in canada, there are a few different things you focus on. Power Skating, Puck Handling, and Trash Talk.

Some fights in hockey are agreed upon before hand like you saw (let's have one) etc. However most fights are typically heat of the moment and they agree to drop the gloves. Hope that clears it up

The Pittsburgh Penguins actually do a documentary series throughout the season called “Inside Penguins Hockey”. For a lot of the games they’ll mic a player up and they usually record a lot of good chirps.

Adam is definitely one of the funniest RU-vidrs out there

Its an unwritten rule of hockey that fights are a way to police the game; the refs cant and often wont see half of what goes on in the game. Most of the time fights are agreed upon between the 2 participants, either from previous talk, or the subtle stuff like shaking your gloves at waist height and both dropping them on the ice. Most players will take the fight as its a pride thing in hockey, but there are some players that refuse and they get theirs in other ways. Targeted hits, slashes to the legs and around the hands, etc. In general its better to take the fight, and the main reason why fights are still allowed; it leads to less of the dangerous hits from behind, slashes, etc. Allows people to settle differences and vent frustrations where both are prepared for the encounter.

That game was being played outside. The NHL has "The Winter Classic" a game played outdoors, usually in the local Football or Baseball stadium. They have happened in Chicago,Philadelphia, New York(played in Yankee stadium), Toronto and a bunch of other cities. It has been happening for about 15 years now.

"I didn't think anyone spoke?" How would they communicate then? LOL

Love how excited you got when you saw "chicken"!! It is great how this channel has essentially turned into "Adam and hockey"😂

Absolutely hilarious how surprised you were by the shit talking 🤣 I’ve heard way worse chirps than this but my favorite is when you can hear them on live broadcast or live at the game when they’re screaming at each other 🙌🏻 I think the nhl should just mic everyone and then run a livestream where you can pick a player to listen to instead of the sportscaster

Every NHL team used to have an "enforcer" tough guy type player who would protect stars and team mates who were not "fighters". The powers that be in the NHL governing body saw fit to implement an Instigator penalty against an enforcer for protecting his mates. Hockey immediately changed forever. Thanks for these vids' Adam and Merry Christmas.🎅🍻

Hockey is the sport where we beat each other up then laugh about it later.

All the trash talk, or "chirps" as most hockey players call it, is pretty common at all levels of hockey. And yes, players absolutely ask people to fight. Sometimes it's arranged at the faceoff and sometimes during the play.

Another great vid, Adam! Here on 31 December I wish you a belated Merry Christmas and (in my time zone) a Happy New Year (GMT-5hrs).

It’s actually hilarious watching you be so flabbergasted by the action on the ice. Like many people in the comments have said, only a few players will be mic’d up per game, if any at all. Trash talking, however, is one of the biggest aspects of hockey.

"Well this isn't getting monetized.." 😂

Adam the guy that said "go dye your hair" is Matt Martin. He is a beast at hitting and fighting if you wanna give him a shout. He is pretty funny too.

can you react to "Mathew Tkachuk Pissing People Off"

4:35 is an amazing moment of respect proux had hurt his shoulder previously in the season and he was still recovering so the Philly player knew and wanted to know so he didn't grab that shoulder and hurt it again

The “go dye your hair” guy is Matt Martin

I didn't see it in this video but I love the one where the two guys ask if they want to fight then after the fight they're like "Good fight buddy good job."

“It’s chicken!”

As a Canadian it's awesome to see this Irishman's studio progressively collect more and more NHL memorabilia throughout the videos.

Re: Is this game outdoors? Yes, there is usually 1 or 2 outdoor games a year. They are big events, usually played in baseball or American football stadiums.

Yes trash talk is part of the game! Not as much trash talk as there used to be, but yes. I love it 🇨🇦

My cousin Zach Sill is in this video! He was the Pittsburgh player that fought troy Brodie early on :)

Some of the funniest mic'd up moments come when the PR teams mic up a guy for practice. It's hilarious to see their teammates slowly figure out which guy it is then refuse to talk around him and skate away quickly or start making up wild stories or chirps to get picked up by the mic. Also, the next outdoor game is happening January 1st in Dallas. I can't swear to it, but I'm ~pretty~ sure snow won't be a factor in that game. And finally, you're not wrong that a lot of guys who play each other are friends or former teammates and will be friendly on the ice. I've seen funny moments where they ask about each other's family or mom or new coach as they're getting ready to take a face off. But the chirping is a huge part of the game, no lie!

They have hockey games outside during the winter but not all the time

I was @ a high school game once and a student said "ay Ref, get off your knees, you're blowing the game" and that remains the best chirp i've ever heard

You should watch the NHL highlights of the last Maple Leafs vs Hurricanes game. My god that was some shit right there.

NHL trash talking is on level 10!! There's no other sport that trash talks like the NHL. The insults are pretty clever and so many of them are Canadian so they sound so polite lol

Sometimes people ask to fight but most of the time it’s probably just heat of the moment.

Yes, players do ask each other to fight on the ice during warm ups, on the benches, sometimes players even communicate a possible fight over text. Hockey is pretty mental and full of mind games.

Plz react to Evgeni Malkin Edit: have been asking for this since the end of November

There’s always trash talk in hockey but nhl games have mics around the glass and from different parts of the arena to pick up the audio of the ice and in these scenarios they make the mics more clear so they can hear conversations on ice

React to Matthew Tkachuk annoying people, I’ll send you jersey if you do

Hockey is the reverse of other sports in that the fans mostly get along and the players talk shit and fight.

That’s just hockey! Merry Christmas, everyone!

The Chelios one gets me every time

Oh I just got a great idea: React to NHL Playoffs antics

Fighting plays a huge factor in hockey, it can turn the momentum around for a team, and also defuse high stress games if cheap hits or dives happen. As for the out door games a few happen each year, The Winter Classic is always most notable of the out door games, they always showcase the two most popular teams during the game. Also trash talk, it’s a skill, I play men’s hockey and even at that level there is trash talk, it gets inside the other teams heads, it’s something you need to be good at haha... I’m friends with a guy who played hockey in the ECHL (two steps below the NHL, it goes NHL, AHL, and ECHL) he has the best damn chirps I’ve ever heard haha.

For context the chirp when he was talking about jacking up the rent, they actually live together

The pure manliness of NHL hockey the brutality the testosterone the speed the hits the sounds of the sticks hitting the ice the skates hitting the ice getting hit hitting people getting into fights checking it's an amazing amazing thing I've been a hockey fan ever since I could remember my father was Canadian my mother was American in my father absolutely 100% in a year old had me out on the ice I was never good enough to be pro I was actually never good enough to get on to the college hockey team I didn't skate fast enough backwards but ever since I can remember it was amazing memories seeing the Montreal canadiens beat the bruins in America was amazing

"This is not getting monetized" Hilarious. Yeah, "Go dye your hair" was the best.

"It's Chicken! It's Oven Chicken!" Hahaha love it

React to nhls dirtiest suspensions, Senators vs flyers brawl, and brad Marchand the leg sweeper

Giroux making pigeon noises at JVR is my favourite chirp in the history of sport.

Been waiting on this one lol there's more as well part 2 next

The words used to describe trash-talking in hockey is "beaking" and "Chirping" It's very common. There is a type of player in the NHL called a Bruiser, and their job is the chirp people, get into fights and get under people's skin to throw off their game, plus protect the star players when they are getting beat up. To answer your questions about fights. Fights can be pre-arranged between two players since just by dropping gloves, it's an automatic 2-minute penalty, once the fight starts, it's a 5 minute major for fighting. But it also can just happen if someone does something they don't like. It is part of the sport.

Nhl winter classics

I'm fairly new to your channel.. I played hockey for 22 years semi professionally I'm 41 now and I love watching new fans start to learn the game of hockey keep on trucking because of the game only gets better..... I'm from the Detroit area and played semi pro in Canada.... I'll start watching your latest videos and try to answer any questions that you have.... I'm sure some of the comments are getting from what I like to call bar hockey players couldn't cut it past the age of 15 or 16....

"What is violence anyways?" lol this guy is smart

Haha chirping is one of the beat parts about hockey. I loved to do it. Also yes we used to ask the other person if they wanted to fight. Sometimes we start fights to try get our crud going and get the momentum. They also have one or two players mic'ed up for the game only on certain nights

I thought trash talk was common in all sports. Doesn't this happen in soccer (football) as well?

I went to high school with the guy in the orange and white at 7:22, Tom Sestito. Played lacrosse together, since he was like 12 he was trash talking. He would trash talk his own teammates in practice, he was born for it.

This type of talk starts happening when you're like 12 years old playing hockey lol

Hockey is fighting, fighting is hockey. I once chirped my older brother, who was playing goal for the opposing high school team. I close chirped him after I scored on him. I skated right through his crease, and said "You suck and mom knows it." 😁

I believe the bird noises were that of a pigeon

Also, you should watch "4 year old mic'd up at hockey" by Coach Jeremy to see how adorable a 4 year old is at trying to learn how to trash talk

There’s tons of chirping in hockey like this.

My favourite chirp of all time was when Shawn Thorton said " hey bud, I'll let you pick the hand I beat the fuck out of you with" lol hockey is great

Please react to Dustin Byfuglien‘s top 10 biggest hits you would love it and you won’t regret it

Every year there are one or two "Winter Classic" games that are played out doors , on temporary rinks set up in football stadiums. And yes , team 'enforcers' challenge each other prior to fighting.

"What is violence anyway?"

Trash talking in the ice is super common. Mic’d up or not you hear some hilarious shit. Best chirp I’ve heard at an NHL game was when McDavid was yipping Johnny Gaudreau about using a 50 flex stick that came up to his belly button. Fighting is one of my favourite hockey traditions. It can be used during a moment of emotion to fire up the team or a tool to police the game. Generally they are agreed upon and are respectful scraps

12 for Boston there was Jarome iginla hed score 50 a yr and beat up anyone do a video on him

I always love it when the NHL players say, "Take em to the cleaners bud" meaning to clean them up LMAO

Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin

For your question at 8:55, yeah it is a thing that happens. As odd as it may sound, it's part of Canadian culture. Now all these guys aren't Canadian, but half the league is Canadian, and part of that culture permeates with other players. You don't fight someone who isn't ready for it, and who isn't a willing participant. That's frowned upon, looked upon really badly, and likely will get you kicked out of the game. It does happen, but it's rare. What's more common is two players, a shift before, or just before a faceoff saying things like "We gonna do this?" and "What shoulder you want?" or "You owe me this", "We're gonna drop 'em" or something like that, as an invitation to fight.

1:48 Zdeno chara can really hurt someone hit is top 3 fighters in history and is 6'9 he has destroyed people!

1. Getting mic'd up used to be a gimmick that they would advertise a lot, but there's so much swearing and trash talk that they've stopped advertising it and mainly use it for tiny segments within game when they find a sfw soundbite. There's even talk about trying to eliminate poor language within game because the arena mic's catch so much of it. Never going to happen though. 2. Trash talking is very common, but most guys are buddies off the ice. That Giroux chirp (the bird sound) was directed at a former teammate that he jokingly called a Pigeon because Giroux fed him points while teammates. The fight around the 4:30 mark had the guy asking which shoulder was his bad one so he wouldn't re-injure it. There's a very select few guys who are actually a-holes. 3. There are angry fights, obligation fights, and pump-up fights. Obligation fights are just those between two well known fighters who go for it at some point. Pump-up fights are those that happen when a guys team is getting pummeled and he wants to turn things around.

Day 3 of telling Adam to react to evgeni malkin and Sidney Crosby 2 headed monster

Chirping is a key part of hockey. Any hockey game, high school to college to pros, you will find relentless mind games in the form of trash talk
