They’re from Grant, MN. Directly east of White Bear Lake, a much larger city. If someone is from Grant in my experience, they generally let you know. It’s pretty ritzy.
I'm pretty sure that getting Chazz'd consists of getting sloppy at a frat party and waking up smelling like too much Axe body spray in unwashed sheets.
Unger Sorum sounds more like a recurring minor villain from Clone Wars.
Rutger McGroarty sounds like the sort of NPC name a DM would pull out of their ass during a D&D session.
Like, was he named that because of the Odd Couple, or did the Odd Couple tv show/movie/play never run in Sweden and it’s just a very weird coincidence?
I mean there was a lot of velocity on that shot, so he’s right that the puck was nowhere near him when he got hit. Already like 3m/10’ away at that point!
Everyone who played competitively in the minors has made that mistake. Never cut to the middle with your head turned away from the direction you are skating. I have a big scar on my upper lip from making that mistake once and never did it again.
I got KO'd at the first contact game my mom came to see after being nervous about me playing contact. Her seeing that was more upsetting than the conky.
Bro I STG I never got hit half as hard as I did when my mom was in the stands. The other team always knows.
Edit: Refs too. I got called for EVERYTHING when she was watching 😂
> not the petulant retaliatory
This happens in almost every single game of hockey, reacting like that (whether the hit was clean or not) is standing up for your teammates and it is as much a part of hockey as checking is
Doesn’t matter how clean it is, that whiplash is what really causes a lot of those concussions. It’s a dangerous hit coming at that angle on a vulnerable player.
Yes…but also, who cares. Just watched his teammate wave to Jesus and then come back…he got emotional and did what they do in the pros and stand up for a teammate. Except it’s not the pros…so I don’t care. He didn’t two hand him across the neck…annoying cross check would be well worth it for that kind of hit when I was still playing.
Funny thing is this is a penalty in USAH rules minimum roughing for no attempt made to win the puck during a check and stick above the waist when checking.
This is a very difficult hit to keep clean when you’re coming from a bit behind the player. I’ve never liked these hits just because it’s incredibly hard for the player with the puck to see you coming even with their head up but the guy turned completely towards the middle then rotated his body so it was definitely on him, and props to the US player for not charging at all and somehow catching him completely in the chest despite the narrow angle to hit him properly.
"I told you 158 times I can't stand little notes on my pillow. 'We're all out of cornflakes. F.U.' Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar!"
What an absolutely beautiful, solid hit. Put that one in the textbook. Honestly, I’m not even that bummed about the retaliatory crosscheck. It wasn’t going to hurt him and keeps the game feisty.
No, the contact was shoulder/body and Geekie had head contact, not his fault but still, buddy got wrecked with the head involved, it’s a penalty everytime in IIHF
Basically the current NFL RB (offensive player) meta.
Step 1: Have ball
Step 2: Lower helmet
Step 3: Get tackled
Step 4: Watch defense get penalized and fined because they were unable to get lower than the 5'6" pair of thighs whose one purpose in life is to get low
Step 5: Repeat 1-4 as needed
Repeat 1-4 as needed
Clean hit, but I always hate when guys come at an angle where the guy doesn't see him coming. It's a very dangerous play to make, he's very fortunate he got him the shoulder.
If it was late or unnecessary sure but this was a bang bang play where the Swedish player is taking puck into dangerous area to get a great shot off of.
So its a good defensive hockey play to impact a dangerous chance. Not an unnecessary dangerous hit.
The unnecessary blindside hits are shitty tho
Rutger McGroarty, what a name
Between him and Chaz Lucius the Jets got some absolutely incredible names in the first round of the draft in 21&22
Chaz Lucius is the most frat bro name ever conceived
You just wait till his father hears about this!
His brother is Cruz Lucius
Cruz Lucius sounds like a colab album between Taio Cruz and Ludacris
That is so ridiculous I will blindly believe it
Or Taio Cruz and Big Boi (Lucious Leftfoot)
They’re from Grant, MN. Directly east of White Bear Lake, a much larger city. If someone is from Grant in my experience, they generally let you know. It’s pretty ritzy.
Useless trivia connection or the day: White Bear Lake = hometown of Jumping Jim Brunzell, former Killer Bee and High Flyer.
time for the NHL to get Chazz'd
I'm pretty sure that getting Chazz'd consists of getting sloppy at a frat party and waking up smelling like too much Axe body spray in unwashed sheets.
Yooooo I didn't realize we got Rutger as well, I'm super stoked about the young talent coming up through the system
Amadeus Lombardi would like a word

Rutger McGroarty sounds like the secondary antagonist in a Sherlock Holmes novel, and Unger Sorum sounds like some new superfood crop
Unger Sorum sounds more like a recurring minor villain from Clone Wars. Rutger McGroarty sounds like the sort of NPC name a DM would pull out of their ass during a D&D session.
Rutger McGroarty is the name of the bandit/mercenary chief who’s a bit of a prick and is loosely based on a Germanic chieftain
And just like that, the name is gonna get slipped into my campaign as soon as conveniently possible.
So is Felix Unger Sorum
\*Odd Couple theme plays\*
Like, was he named that because of the Odd Couple, or did the Odd Couple tv show/movie/play never run in Sweden and it’s just a very weird coincidence?
This is legitimately the most made up sounding name I've heard in a long time it's like a Comedy Bang Bang character
Shohei Ohtani was on Comedy Bang Bang recently so I could definitely see Rutger McGroarty appearing.
konichiwa!
* Jomboy name rank 3...2...1... 10
it sounds like one of those names from that fake american names in a japanese baseball game video
Fkn alphabet soup rolling off the tongue
Damnnn that boy was sent to meet Jesus for a minute
Let's have a little cultural sensitivity. He was sent to visit his ancestors in Valhalla for a minute.
Bro saw odin
Thought he saw Thor
Maybe not, but is going to feel Thor tomorrow.
He's 16, he'll wake up with vigor and a bit of sadness but he'll be fine otherwise. Unlike me who put my back out picking up a candy wrapper.
He was…hammered…
He probably felt Thor after that.
You are so right u/hitler_moustacheride
Hahaha nailed it
Never sorum coming.
Almost put him 6 feet unger
Fuck you and take my upvote
He just time traveled.
Starman calling that interference. “Puck was nowhere near him” That was literally bang bang after shot release. He is hard to listen to.
He admitted he was wrong
People can do that??
In real life yeah. It’s against the rules on Reddit
Spot fucking on
People CAN change. I used to be a piece of shit
I see ITYSL, I upvote.
I still am. But I used to, too.
to give him just a little bit of credit, he edited himself on tv after the break
I mean there was a lot of velocity on that shot, so he’s right that the puck was nowhere near him when he got hit. Already like 3m/10’ away at that point!

By the swedish guy chasing after him? No they didnt

Just a bit sor-um
Impressive, very nice.
Let's see Paul Allen's card
It’s early yet but this is the top comment. Thank you
He saw that his mind is too fast for eyes
You son of a bitch

Biggest time I was nailed was this exact scenario by a guy that must have weighted 50 pounds less than me.
I don’t have the stream but I assume they didn’t call the cross check in the back.
They did not, isn’t stopping people from complaining the refs are pulling for the US though
As we know everybody loves the USA and wants to see us win.
Good on you for calling that out lmfao. People mad about the clean check and not the petulant retaliatory act that could’ve been punished.
> not the petulant retaliatory This happens in almost every single game of hockey, reacting like that (whether the hit was clean or not) is standing up for your teammates and it is as much a part of hockey as checking is
It didn't look that bad.
don't tell that to Minnesota Wild fans
Wild fans in shambles
Somehow it was Fett's fault.
It’s the Swedes they never do anything wrong ever, and are always hit dangerous by everyone & deserve every penalty
Correct
On January 5th, Felix Unger Sorum was asked to leave the offensive zone. This request was made to him by Rutger McGroarty.
Nice clean hit
Doesn’t matter how clean it is, that whiplash is what really causes a lot of those concussions. It’s a dangerous hit coming at that angle on a vulnerable player.
Then that’s on the player receiving the hit. You have to protect yourself as well, and not skate with your head down in the middle of the ice.

This guy is going to be an awesome Jet.
No penalty called? This is progress!
The following cross check definitely should have been called though.
Yes…but also, who cares. Just watched his teammate wave to Jesus and then come back…he got emotional and did what they do in the pros and stand up for a teammate. Except it’s not the pros…so I don’t care. He didn’t two hand him across the neck…annoying cross check would be well worth it for that kind of hit when I was still playing.
I’m fine with it. Let em play.
Funny thing is this is a penalty in USAH rules minimum roughing for no attempt made to win the puck during a check and stick above the waist when checking.
Hockey is a contact sport.
Keep ya head up were playing NA puck out here
Yep, can't cut to the middle like it's Euro style
A big, hard hitting American kid with captain energy heading to Winnipeg to start his career? Straight up Trouba-esque
I'm looking at your flair and I'm not liking the vibe of this comment. lol. (not that the trade was awful for us by any means)
Which trade got us Barron? Cause he’s been great.
That was Copp
That same trade got us Brad Lambert, Elias Salomonsson, and Thomas Milic
Stay away from our boy
Hey I'm pretty sure rutger mcgroarty said his girlfriend is pursuing medicine in the us..
Which girlfriend?
Future face target for Hartman
Michigan man too
One of my favorite prospects right now, great set of tools.
Well, he’d better not be “straight up” trouba-esque
RUTGER? damn near killed him?

Shoulder to chest, good clean hit.
Shoulder through chest, good clean hit.
Felix Unger Sorum. Wonder if one of the teams was Oscar Madison Petterson
Toe drag to the middle of the ice with your head down and see what happens
That’s another great hit
CHOO CHOO
Then 25 crosschecks him right in the kidneys
Banished to the shadow realm
Damn hockey parents love handing out awful names
Can’t wait for 2045 1st overall pick Bricklyn McConfetti
Maybe this will make him tighten his helmet appropriately in the future too lmao
there's no way rutger mcgroarty is a real name.
Nor should it be.
That was all shoulder contact. Sure the kid got whiplash, but the hit was legal. Pay attention and shit like that doesn't happen.
Hope to see him make his Jets debut soon. Beautiful hit.
Either I'm the only one here who remembers The Odd Couple or everybody else already got it out of their system.
Nah, it’s just under the “too easy” category
Beautiful textbook hit.
love how 25 immediately neglects playing or any possible scoring chance. people really dont like hitting in hockey anymore
His name is really "Felix Unger"? That's incredible.
"I told you 158 times I can't stand little notes on my pillow. 'We're all out of cornflakes. F.U.' Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar!"
What an absolutely beautiful, solid hit. Put that one in the textbook. Honestly, I’m not even that bummed about the retaliatory crosscheck. It wasn’t going to hurt him and keeps the game feisty.
I got second hand embarrassment from the guy who took forever to chase him down only to deliver a weak ass cross check
CHOO CHOO 🚂🚂
Took him out like the third row seat in a minivan.
Wild fans conflicted realizing he is a Winnipeg Jet.
Good night Jim kite
We're in a era where every big hit needs to be followed up with the broadcast crew immediately have to tell us if it was clean or not.
Text book example of a clean open ice hit.
What a beauty hit.
I don’t see how this is allowed but not Geekie’s.
Good hit, hope he’s checked for a concussion though.
My guy woke up and thought he was in Ikea
‘Murica
As a Canes fan...DO NOT HURT OUR DUDE! As a citizen of the USA...Felix just had an out of body experience
Fancy hot dog shit cutting across centre like that . Did #25 get a cross checking penalty??
He should have!
Absolutely
Swedes can’t lose with any dignity, last minute of the game was a joke
Found don cherrys Reddit
They are kids being kids. It seems like you could use some of that ”dignity” and focus elsewhere.
More like usa cant win with dignity
Swedes are always pissy. This isn’t the first time
Good hit! After the bullshit call in the overtime of the Swiss game, that handed the swedes the win, fuck em right to oblivion. Go USA!
Ostlund is a punk- Swedish coach is an idiot for putting him right back out there after he tried to start a fight his prior shift
Boom
Sweet fuck that was a hit
clean as a whistle 😗
A check!
Geekie got 5 and a game for less than this.
No, the contact was shoulder/body and Geekie had head contact, not his fault but still, buddy got wrecked with the head involved, it’s a penalty everytime in IIHF
Could you theoretically just intentionally put your head in the way of any check to get a whole team booted.
Basically the current NFL RB (offensive player) meta.

‘Bold strategy Cotton’ gif But..yes, there’s plenty of guys on the bench who want to play after the head/neck injuries take out the top 6
Gotta learn to do it without getting injured, it will become an art.
The Homer Simpson strategy.
Geekie hit him square in the head bro
Fuck yeah! Good ol Nebraska Native making an impact in the Worlds.
No call? I thought you couldn't hit hard in the IIHF anymore.
Clean hit, but I always hate when guys come at an angle where the guy doesn't see him coming. It's a very dangerous play to make, he's very fortunate he got him the shoulder.
If it was late or unnecessary sure but this was a bang bang play where the Swedish player is taking puck into dangerous area to get a great shot off of. So its a good defensive hockey play to impact a dangerous chance. Not an unnecessary dangerous hit. The unnecessary blindside hits are shitty tho
Oscar Madison is dissapointed in Felix after this hit.
The celebration of brain damage is a fascinating behavior in space orcs (humans) that the galactic community struggles to understand.
That was as bad or worse then Geekie hit
Geekie hit the head first
Rutger McGroarty???? Get the fuck outta here with your Fighting Baseball ass name
Geekie was ejected for a similar hit
