Andersson and Hickey? What happened?

People are commenting saying it was a bite by Andersson, but I'm not so sure. Thoughts?

People are assuming...
People are wrong.

It was pretty much either the guy bit Hickey's hand, or Hickey just decided suddenly to fake having his hand bitten.

It looked like it but can a bite through a glove really do much?

Everyone should just move along from this one.

Looked like he bite Hickeys hand but doubt it did much threw the glove

The glove is only padded much on the outer face. The palm and gussets around the fingers are pretty flimsy.

I don't think anyone is saying this was some horrible incident or anything. It just kind of stands out, considering the complaints about how Canada apparently got away with so much. I think that both teams got away with some stuff.

not trying to defend it he did indeed pull a tyson on hickey, and i am a big fan of hickey, but i have always wondered why guys dont do this more when someone is stuffing their glove in your face....

Because it's biting someone?

Yeah ok, and I'll slash you in the neck when you high stick me, cross check you in the back after you take the puck from me. And sucker punch you after you score. And lastly I'll get up and kick you after you trip me.

Because it's biting someone?:laugh:
good answer

his glove had fallen off.

Looked like he shook the glove off after the bite.

Even in the softer parts of the glove, it would have to be a serious bite to do anything...it's still chicken**** though.

Either way, Hickey didn't make a scene out of it and it didn't keep him from hoisting the trophy over his head. If he doesn't care then neither should any of us.

his glove had fallen off.

lets just hope there is no MSG on his hand!

you guys are funny, i am not condoning biting someone, but there are some questionable players out there who would do something stupid like that when someone is smashing their gloves in your face.

Apparently this is the vid, but I don't think it proves anything one way or another.

Havlat would do that if someone had his leg tied up and he was unable to unleash his feet of fury.

That's great. There are players out there who would do all kinds of ridiculous things. That doesn't change the fact that a facewash is a pretty normal event in a hockey game, and biting someone isn't.

face wash is when both guys are on their skates, in this case hickey was on top of the guy and was shoving his glove in his face.

why dont you try that sometime and tell me what you would do, would you just take it? probally not. along the same lines you wouldnt bite the guy but you should would try to get the guy off you

That's still pretty common. It happened going both was in this game alone. It happens all the time in hockey games. Biting does not.

I would feel worse for Andersson even if he did bite. That would not have tasted good.

This

The HD feed shows the bite clearly. Standard def cuts the side of the picture off and the bite is out of frame when it happens.

Hatcher bit Zajac last year.

The smell of a hand that has been in a hockey glove is heinous, I can't bare the thought of tasting it. I agree with this.

Hatcher bit Zajac last year.

Please elaborate. I don't wanna redo my favorite players list and add Hatcher only to find out it didn't live up to the billing.

Scrum by the net, Hatcher bites Zajac's hand and cuts him for a couple stitches.

No proof.

If someone puts their finger in my mouth, I'll bite the heck out of it. I love the rough stuff:sarcasm:

i know there is an angle that shows it at somepoint right after it happened, that video does not show the one i saw. i remember this because i was at the bar and i remember saying "hey that guy bit him!" while pointing at the screen and everyone stared at me because they weren't paying attention to the replays

i saw it in HD too and it looked like his hand was right where the swedish player's mouth was. Initially i thought he might have squeezed his wrist between his chin but unless he's Hulk that would never hurt someone so bad.

It was definitely a bite.

About the only possible way is if hickey face washed him and stuck his gloved finger into anderssons mouth, then about every player out there would've bit that finger.

A google search trying to find out more info led me to that crappy Youtube clip that doesn't show nothing and then to here.

I saw the HD feed as well and definitely noticed the bite on the second or third replay. I wish someone had a copy, that's some crazy stuff.

Thank-gawd for jock-cups!

Um no not every player out there would've bitten that finger, biting is not something each and every player does.

Disgusting if it that's what happened, Andersson should be ashamed of himself.

...sudden, serious brain injury causes the victim to bite down hard....

Sorry, that's all I could think of when I saw this. I can't tell if he bit him or not. Something happened, but I think only Hickey and Andersson know exactly what it was. I'm surprised someone didn't ask Hickey about it post-game.

He could have easily got his finger squashed between the stick and the ice until we hear from either player I'll pass on any judgment.

It's also possible that Andersson was trying to break one of his fingers. There's no real evidence that he was trying to bite him, only that he was hurting Hickey's hand in some way.

The HD feed shows it clearly. Andersson bit him. I don't know why people say there's no evidence, there's just no evidence on youtube.

Havlat?

If its not on Youtube then it didnt happen .I watched the game in Hi Def and it showed it clearly .

Only the insane gutless players would do something like that, and Sweden is cornering the market on that style player.

You never bite people, fool! Under any circumstance! Are you people frigging animals not to know that???

(actual) lol!

swede's must have powerful teeth......

I was wondering why he dropped his glove like that, and I don't think the Swedish broadcasters picked up on that. Still, if he did bite him, that's not a pretty move. You don't bite people.

Looked like a bite, but nothing conclusive in the video.

I'd love to hear what Hickey has to say about it.

oh my

Um no not every player out there would've bitten that finger, biting is not something each and every player does.

Disgusting if it that's what happened, Andersson should be ashamed of himself.

**** that. I'm at the bottom of a pile and some moron sticks his hand in my mouth, he's losing fingers. No ifs, ands, or buts.

And how would it be anymore disgusting to let whoever keep his glove/fingers in your mouth? A quick bite and they're out in a hurry.

The HD feed shows it clearly. Andersson bit him. I don't know why people say there's no evidence, there's just no evidence on youtube.

Ah, well, if you're sure the HD feed shows it, then there it is. I wasn't able to watch or see highlights in HD. I missed your post also, sorry.

The 19-year-old Calgarian was bitten on a finger by an unidentified Swedish player in a dogpile during Monday night’s 5-1 world junior championship victory.

“That’s never happened to me before,” grinned the sleep-deprived, five-foot-nine defenceman after arriving, along with three teammates, at Calgary International Airport on Tuesday afternoon. “No hard feelings, though . . . we got the gold.”

5'9" huh ?

In any event, I don't see why people are talking about this more than Dellaroves atrocious hit from behind/sucker punch in the team USA game. I guess, because it's so out of the ordinary ?

http://www.calgaryherald.com/Bitten+finger+first+gold+medal+repeat/1148972/story.html

Well, there you have it - he was bitten by one of the Swedes. :rant:

A new low in international hockey - shame, Sweden....

It must take a nutcase to put ones fingers into another players mouth.

And you know he put his finger in his mouth - HOW? I'd say the nutcase was the one with the Hannibal Lector fetish.... :laugh:

Hopefully the IIHF looks at a lifetime ban for the biter. I wonder if I should email them and find out what the drill is for something like this...

Well what did his had do in his face to begin with . I dont like to defend him but still the canaidian dont need to put his hand in his face.

Biting is as idiotic as it gets in hockey, but I'm sorry to say you're going to be disappointed by the result. He won't, and shouldn't, get any major punishment from this, especially not a lifetime ban. It's a stupid play, but it's not like someone is going to get seriously injured from a bite on the hand. Ruutu only got 2 games for his, and that's mostly because he's Ruutu. It's just an embarassing play and the biter probably heard from it from his teammates and friends and family back home. The reason it doesn't happen very often is because it's just a stupid thing to do. Biting? Come on.

Where's the guy who was calling me out for being a biased Canadian in the GDT when I said that the evidence pointed towards Hickey being bitten? Come to think of it, Hickey's testimony probably wouldn't be enough for him, either.

Well what did his had do in his face to begin with . I dont like to defend him but still the canaidian dont need to put his hand in his face.

Its hockey, where hands often do go in faces. But biting? He won't get away with that crap in the nhl. Just ask Ruutu or Savard!

Yea hands goes there but still not legall so and i dont see this is more dangerouse then a cross check but i agree he should not bite but then what did hickey say to get him that angry.

You're suggesting it's somehow Hickey's fault......[As you said on your post before this] Ok. I get Swedish fans.....

Canadian players are at fault for everything "dirty" things that happen at ice
Officiating helps Canada [despite them getting 7 PP's and not scoring a goal on it...plsu Swedes got away with some]

well how does the bite get there if he dont get the hand in his face lol i have said i dont blame the refs for the loss but blame all for a few posters seems the most simple for you sweden lost couse they sucked on the pp and the pk simple as that and i dont blame anyone more then the swedish special teams for the loss .

Who knows? Can you conclusively say that he actually put his finger in his mouth? No.....

No but i dont see on the vid that andersson takes his hand in to his moth either.

I dont like to defend andersson for this its a stupid thing to do and it should have been a penalty.

LOL don't kid yourself, swedish players get theirs hands up in Canadians/all other opponents faces as well. It happens frequently in every high level hockey game i watch. Its not a big deal. Biting is.

I don't know why you seem to be taking this so personally. Just admit its stupid and move on, there was nothing done by Hickey that could have possibly warranted such an action. Nothing!

I'd never bite, spit, or kick another player and I'd completely lose my mind if I saw someone do any of those things to a teammate.

It's pretty much part of the code of hockey, maybe that's just on this side of the pond though.

Edit: I'm sure Canadians have done this too, I just wouldn't have any respect for them either. It's only acceptable in a life or death situation.

Yea and in every game they do it without there gloves ?

I believe Thomas Hickey.....Why the heck would he lie? But as he said, he came out on the top....by winning Gold.

Like i said i think it should be a penalty and i also belive he bite him but i dont think he will bite him if he has not done anything to him.

When Niedermayer hit Forsberg from behind sending him head first into the boards during the final of (what WC was it?), which was 1000 times less classy and 1000 times more dangerous - how many of you hated him for that?

I bet all you said was "good work!!":help:


I'm not excusing the bite, if indeed it happend, but this is a double standard.

Or a homer standard.


And after running the opposing goalie 4 friggen times you might not wanna starta a thread about someone being unsportmanlike.

The ref didnt make a call so stop whining about it? Credit for doing it in a way so noone could see it happen on the ice. Andersson obviously did everything to get the game back in swedens hands again. This is not golf! Next year try biting the whole finger off. That should get them out of balance.
:sarcasm:

:laugh: I dont understand why he did that... and Andersson must be the last player on earth I thought would pull something like that off. Unbelievably stupid.

Well what did his had do in his face to begin with . I dont like to defend him but still the canaidian dont need to put his hand in his face.

Yoyu folks in Sweden really need to go back to school, and learn Hockey 101 - The Basics.

You don't like a face-wash - play soccer.

sometimes they have to pry the jaw open... hahaha. good ol' andy dufresne.

Of course it's Hickeys fault. His fingers shouldnt be messing around in Anderssons mouth.

I have the proof on my dvr but too bad I don't know how to transfer it to my computer. :)

This all reminds of the original Summit Series in 1972 between Canada and Russia. Canada was crucified for all their "dirty" hits on the Russians but nothing was said about the Russians who spit and kicked(with skates). Also the exhibition game in Sweden when one Canadian received a lacerated tongue from a high stick from a Swedish player.
