I think the Canes, when coming out of the dressing room, should do something like that in front of the Habs bench. Even paint thier faces with warpaint. Frothe at the mouth. Might just work.

what the hell just happaned there

basically the all blacks said that this is war, and in war they are about to get (all kinds of profanities redacted). and then their corpses spit upon.

(30-second adidas commercial showing the same team doing the same thing.)

edit: below I link to a translation of this haka, and the words are not about profanity or corpse trampling; but the gestures surely give this impression!

Not a commercial per se--Adidas is one of the commercial sponsors of the All Blacks.

Dumb?! It's a traditional Maori (native New Zealand) war chant. Trust me, if you saw it performed live you would be suitably impressed!

If you recall, when the guy won the US Open in Pinehurst last year, he was from New Zealand and a fan of the all blacks and did that dance after he kicked Tiger Woods' butt on the last putt playing even par. It is a traditional war dance.

LOL!
I'd have packed my happy a$$ back into the team bus and LEFT.
Don't mess with Aboriginal spirits man, because there won't be enough of you left to bury.

Don't forget, though, they'd suspend the entire team for that throat slashing motion. :lol:

That is pretty intimidating. Those boys on the other team looked mighty shaken, lol.

goalie33

04-26-2006, 05:04 PM

It's worth noting that when the commentator talks about this haka being peculiar to this team, he's specifically talking about the throat slash and a few other little details. The more traditional haka ends with a jump.
