My New Favorite Thing: TRON Hockey

Quick, name four random things! If you answered …

1. Tomáš Jurčo
2. Nine Inch Nails
3. the movie TRON
4. BatteriesPlus

… (and I have no reason to believe you’d answer otherwise), you’re going to love this clip from the Grand Rapids Griffins, by way of Vimeo and Reddit. In it, assuming you need the pieces put together, Jurčo plays hockey in the dark to ’17 Ghosts II’ by Nine Inch Nails, wrapped in light-up tubing (courtesy of sponsor BatteriesPlus, I guess) that mimics the aesthetic of TRON. It promotes … something, and is pretty cool. Batteries, I think?

Anyway, check out the clip below. It’s neat looking, at the very least.

The Grand Rapids Griffins and Rockford Ice Hogs had a bench-clearing AHL brawl for the ages, and it’s easily the best hockey fight you’ll ever see featuring a dozen dudes in pink sweaters. (via The Detroit Sports Site)

Warning: The Following Video May Give You Birth Flashbacks

Written by Brandon Stroud / 08.03.12

What you’re witnessing is the perspective of a t-shirt as it gets fired out of a Grand Rapids Griffins Fun-Buncher’s cannon. The clip found its way to Reddit last night, and if it brings back any memories of being ripped from your mother’s womb and thrust into the scary hands of a doctor in a world that makes no sense, I apologize.

We wrapped a GoPro camera in a t-shirt and sent it flying out of the world famous Griff Gatling Gun! Best viewed full-screen HD and multiple times!

I’ll be sending you my therapy bills.
