Hockey Talk: Top 10 Goalie Fights [VIDEO]

NHL-Goalie-Fight-HockeyJoe and Eddie are still mourning the Detroit Tigers season, so ‘America’s White Boy’ founder Sweetbob is here to fill-in for the guys.

To commemorate the Ray Emery/Braden Holtby fight last week, I decided to make a list of the top goalie fights with videos of each fight.

Sadly, I have only seen one goalie fight in person. It was over a decade ago during a Fort Wayne Komets game. I don’t remember the names of the goalies or the other team involved. I was able to cross it off my bucket list, but I want to see more. I would pay $500 for a ticket to a hockey game if they guaranteed a goalie fight would happen.

Here is a list of the top 10 goalie fights listed in no particular order. Enjoy!

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Visits GABF [VIDEO]

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog never disappoints. The character made famous by Robert Smigel on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” is still going strong with videos on “Conan” on TBS and all over the internet

Triumph visited the “Great American Beer Festival” in Denver and poked fun at the entire craft beer industry. And yes, a 40oz. of malt liquor makes an appearance.

Cover Song Month: Ed Sheeran feat. Passenger – “No Diggity”

You can’t have ‘Cover Song Month’ without indie musicians covering an old 90’s hip hop track, right?

Ed Sheeran is hot indie musician and Passenger is one of my personal favorites, his voice is amazing. They collaborated on “No Diggity” by Blackstreet…and it’s awesome.

Cover Song Month: Vampire Weekend – “Blurred Lines”

‘Cover Song Month’ is turning out to be one of my favorite series on the year.

“Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke and “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk share the title of ‘Song of the Summer.’ Many covers have popped up for both songs, but only two stand out. We posted a cover of “Get Lucky” by San Cisco earlier this month, but now it’s time to do the same with “Blurred Lines”.

Here is Vampire Weekend’s cover of “Blurred Lines”.

Cover Song Month: AFI – “Just Like Heaven”

I promised to limit myself to one cover of The Cure during ‘Cover Song Month’.

AFI is a talented band full of great guys. Not to name drop or anything, but I’ve met them on a few occasions. The best one was when I was trying to interview Simple Plan and the guys from AFI was in the same room poking fun at them for their height.

What makes AFI’s cover of The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven” great is that they did it in front of Robert Smith. They must have been crazy nervous before their performance.

Cover Song Month: The Postelles – “Ask”

If you’re an indie band, having a cover of a song by The Smiths or Morrissey is a must. The Postelles put their token cover of a song by The Smiths on YouTube.

Their version of “Ask” says true to the original, but thanks to today’s high-def recording equipment, it’s more clean.

Cover Song Month: San Cisco – “Get Lucky”

We’re big fans of San Cisco here on AmericasWhiteBoy.com. Their track “Awkward” appeared on our of our “Sweetbob’s HIpster Music Playlist” posts earlier this year.

Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” is the song of the summer and I’m sure San Cisco won’t be the last band to cover it, but it will definitely be one of the best when it’s all said and done.

(We dig the lady drummer.)

Cover Song Month: Jimmy Eat World – “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”

There are a million covers of Taylor Swift songs on the internet, but Jimmy Eat World’s cover tops them all.

I’ve been a fan of Jimmy Eat World since the late 90’s and their cover of “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” sounds like it could have been on their “Clarity” album.

Cover Song Month: Josh Krajcik – “Folsom Prison Blues”

Josh Krajcik first came on the scene when he auditioned for “The X-Factor” in 2011. His audition went viral and ended up being the runner-up during the show’s first season in the U.S.

I first saw him play at Woodlands Tavern in Columbus, Ohio in 2009. I was surprised to see him on The X-Factor, but the guy can sing. Here’s his cover of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues”.

Cover Song Month: Bad Rabbits – “Sextape”

This is not the first time Bad Rabbits appeared during “Cover Song Month”. They covered The Smashing Pumpkins track “1979” and we included it in last year’s feature.

This year, we’re featuring their cover of “Sextape” by Deftones. It’s one our favorite covers in recent memory.
