Hockey Terms That Sound Dirty

November 9, 2007 by Beth

Listening to Canucks games on the radio, I’ve noticed quite a few terms that the commentators use while describing the game that sound dirty¹, including:

• “he’s got good hands”
• “he stuffed it in”
• “poke check”
• “making moves”
• “gets his stick in there”
• “scoring”
• “two on one”
• “hitting from behind”

Any other ones that I’ve missed?

¹Proof, yet again, that I have the sense of humour of a 12-year-old boy.
