Dominik Hasek Flashes the International F@K-You Sign

you fans in the U.S. might not be familiar with what the backwards peace sign means to the rest of the world.
it’s not good. from yahoo answers:
If your talking about the “V” for victory using two fingers, it does have meaning, depending on which way your palm faces. Palm outwards facing someone else means Peace, palm facing you while back of your hand faces the other person basically mean “F@K U, i’ve got mine“.
This symbol was derived during the middle ages when england was at war with France. Bowmen, or Long Bowmen (aka, archers) use two fingers to draw back their bow string and were the deadliest unit of their time. They were considered a prime targets by the emeny and, when captured, their drawstring fingers would be removed. Whenever an archer survived capture, and march through a couquered city, they would hold their drawstring hand up, back of hand facing outward, with their two drawstring fingers extended upward. This was their way of telling the enemt F U! I’ve still got mine!”
yikes!
(and so you don’t think the HASEK F-U sign was photoshopped in….not that we wouldn’t do that….here’s the original photo)

(word to your mother, i’ll sing it a cappella: we’re not suggesting dominik hasek is telling the world to f@k off. we’re suggesting that the two fingered symbol he is flashing is known throughout the world as the f@k off sign. we agree that he is probably acknowledging that he won his second stanley cup, but we think in heat of the moment, he had his hand turned in an unfortunate position. peace!)

i thought it was weird when I saw it….I thought maybe he was saying he had won two championships…

I was wondering why he was flashing “2″ while everyone else was flashing “1″. It made no sense at the time. I had no idea that it meant that

hasek was so confused with his hand signals.. it was fun to watch.. he was making bunny ears at one point…
this article is lame…

padsy….great point. because we ALL flash our numbers backwards, with the palm facing inward.
but you ARE right, we ARE dummies….because we just got an email from a viewer informing us that it’s actually a Czech gang symbol. and a hit has been placed on our lives by some dude in Prague.
f@k, we gotta start doing our homework.

chrissy-chris….you’re probably right….but being from europe, he SURELY knows that the backwards peace sign means…
FUCK YOU!
but thanks for stopping in for a look.
peace!

Gassy-gasss,
Nice usage of the diminutive form of Pad’ and Chris’ name in a lame attempt to belittle folks who may not agree with your view of the world.
If you ask for opinions, you can’t take offense at each one - even if it may be your website.
Well, you can, but that just make you a 1st class dick.

“that just make you a 1st class dick.”
Mr Tom, by that line I take it you’ve met most of us?

this is nothing but stupid drivel used to generate site traffic. two cups doesn’t translate to eff you, you jackass. do you know anything about hockey?

The sign he is making is called “The Fork.” It is equivilant to the American middle finger.
June 6th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
yes, yes, a thousand times yes, ivan!
June 7th, 2008 at 11:15 am
it was his second Stanley Cup…get a freaking life
June 7th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
right on, GL…it was most definately his second stanley cup!
peace!

He’s a goalie. It’s the equivilent of “Manny being Manny”. No matter what the question or issue, the answer is “He’s a goalie….”.

best comment so far, krotz. whether we’re right or we’re wrong…..”he’s a goalie” is the best comment so far.
nice work.

Umm… he’s won TWO cups with Detroit… so, you’re dumb.
