YouTube's Best Sport Videos of the Week - Oct 12th to Oct 19th

Another week big of the best (and worst) the sporting world has to offer...

- The Minnesota Wild may play a boring brand of hockey but at least they have an entertaining commercial.

- We've got two borderline police brutality moments for you this week. First a drunken Red Sox fan gets tazored in Tampa Bay. With five cops standing around is tazoring a drunk fan really necessary? Next, an over-zealous cop tackles a fairly docile fan at a Rough Riders game.

- Pittsburgh is now the best place to watch hockey. Who knew we could learn something from a Puck Daddy article.

- Check out Tampa Bay coach John Maddon checking out Craig Sager during the ALCS.

- Another video from the 'so bad it's good' list, that we love so much at Waikiki Hockey. Patrick Kane of the Blackhawks is cooking steaks with two seemingly mentally challenged hosts. Plenty of akward moments.

- Jaromir Jagr tends to Alexei Cherepanov on the bench minutes before he passes away. Tragic.

- Some crazy lady yells at Sean Avery (go to the 2:00 minute mark).

...for the first time ever we have two Clips O' the Week. The new hockey theme for CBC and TSN are up and running. As you probably already know TSN is using CBC's old anthem and the fans voted in the new CBC anthem. TSN obviously has the better theme but in our opinion CBC has the better graphics. You be the judge, here are both intros:

Welcome Back, Carter

Yeah, that title is pretty pathetic but the name 'Carter' is pretty tough to be clever with. At least it lets us up put a picture of the real Mr. Kotter ... something we won't get many chances to do.


Kuklas Korner posted a video from Maxim.com where Jeff Carter was being interviewed by some dorky Maxim guy (we always imagined Maxim writers would be cooler):

It's pretty standard fare ... although seeing how many pucks it takes Carter to pull a 'William Tell' was mildly interesting. The best part of this video was that they mentioned this famous YouTube clip from last season's playoffs:

Over the summer we must have forgotten about this classic fan moment and are disapointed in ourselves for not including it in our Fightin' Fans article from a few months back -- a big oversight on our part.

The fans must be getting a bit more confident nowadays as a female fan gives Sean Avery (go to the 2:00 minute mark) a tongue lashing in the Blue Jacket - Stars matchup last Saturday night. We're sure Avery deserved it.

The Kipper Kid...

Brendan Peters is 11 years old and a big Calgary Flames fan. He also has a parent who has too many dollars and not enough sense. You see, Brendan dresses up as Mikka Kiprusoff and impersonates the real Kipper's every move at Flames home games:

We're pretty manly here at Waikiki Hockey but we'll put our tough guy facade aside for a second and admit that little Brendan looks pretty cute doing his routine.

The point that the announcers raise at the end of the clip is a good one ... this kid is either going to turn out to be a massive fan or a stalker (That link really scares us, by the way)

There are been a lot of careers ruined between the posts (right) and we've seen unemployeed goalies going through some tough times ... so things are looking rough for Peters future.

In the short term, Brendan has become a bit of a celebrity. He's been featured on many local and national sport shows and was even invited to come and accept an award on Kiprosoff's behalf at the 2008 NHL Awards:

Let's just hope for Brendan's sake he doesn't wear a full set of goalie equipment to the games when he's a fully grown man ... that would be pathetic:

We hope Brendan's dad saw that clip
