John Stevens Goes ‘F**king’ Crazy After Firing

Shortly after being notified that he had been relinquished of his duties as head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, John Stevens let loose with a tirade that would make the likes of Bobby Knight and Lou Piniella blush.

“Hey, Retard…”

Caught up in the heat of athletic competition, hockey players sometimes let their emotions get the better of them.  These gentlemen tend to transform on the ice, expressing their emotions through the use of colourful language or gestures.  Every now and then, we listeners are lucky enough to have a microphone nearby to capture this audio, allowing us access to some of hockey’s refined culture.  These warriors express themselves in both frustration and celebration with a candid fervour.  Here’s a small glimpse of what truly happens on the ice, in Offensive Defenceman’s Top Ten Questionable Language Sound Bites.  (note: all of the following are unedited and uncensored)

10. Mike Comrie – doesn’t like pokechecks

9. Brett Lebda – tells us when he’ll shave his beard

8. Corey Perry – double dose of CP10. While he’s not “vulgar” in the second clip, the fact that he’s threatening a player who doesn’t know a lick of English comes across as humorous.

7. Michael Rupp – thinks highly of Paul Mara
