Also, from the 2006 Olympics final: [Forsberg to Sundin to Lidström](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDEszBExe7k&feature=related). About 1 minute in. From the 2003 World Championships in Prague, quarterfinals. Comeback from 5-1 to win [6-5](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ckaCuFfBzA&feature=related).

As a college umpire, [this is one of my favorites](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPwU42txSnU). Arkansas versus Old Miss. Arkansas catcher Brian Walker is up to bat and fakes getting hit by a pitch. The ump says no he didn’t get hit, and makes him stay at bat. The next pitch Brian Walker strikes out then pokes the bat at the ump and gets ejected. ---

Still, I guess it _does_ take some gumption to be genuinely outraged at the ump because you didn’t get away with the fake and lash out at him as if it were HIS fault! :rolleyes: ---

The Seahawks’ (and WVU’s) “Runaway Beer Truck”, Owen Schmitt, takes his frustrations out on his helmet. Owen Smash! And it is too hard to search for the best videos through yahoo(at the office), but anything from the peak of the Colorado Avalanche (\>) Detroit Redwings rivalry. Try looking for “Roy Osgood” or “Roy Vernon”. ---
