NHL’s Hardest Hits Ever! 

They actually hit at a higher speed in hockey. A study was done and it found hockey hits are, on average, 17% harder that football even though they weigh less. The equipment is actually much less protective than football padding. Also, many, many players have died and found to have had brain injuries.

He said football is faster than hockey 😂😂😂

Hey guys, the best quote to describe how tough of a game hockey is comes from Don Cherry, long time NHL coach and Hockey Night in Canada analyst : “IN HOCKEY, YOU CAN’T RUN OUT OF BOUNDS !”

Playoff hockey is on another level. Imagine Steelers Ravens in a 7 game series. Now give them sticks. Two teams who have no reason to hate each other, will absolutely hate each other by the second period of game 2. Do yourselves a favor and watch one period of any playoff game and you’ll love it. Great channel by the way, love y’all.

There has been plenty of CTE in hockey. The reason it isn't talked about as much is that the NHL didn't hide it. They banned direct hits to the head, approved concussion resistant helmet designs and tried to change quick. The NFL fought like hell to pretend concussions weren't a big deal.

7:35 "Vikings with sticks". 😂🤣. Brilliant

In Canada the concussion issue with hockey is widely talked about. Football is so huge in the US especially in comparison to hockey that's why you don't hear about it as much. If you watch clips of hockey injuries you'll see how tuff it is and why so many of them have many missing teeth. Also think of a 200lbs guy coming at you full speed on ice, that's faster than football players on a field.

“And that not a foul” had me dead 😂

They move much faster on skates than people running in football. Terrible injuries in hockey 🏒

This video warms my heart. "Do they do hitting drills at practice?" But "That's not a foul?" made my night. Fight Night at the Joe from below is a must-see. Edited to add...to see you guys see that there's no calls and that's how the game works makes me giddy. I also thing they understand the role of t he goon or enforcer without knowing it.

Being from Canada I am a little biased about hockey but I think it's the greatest sport in the world

"VIKINGS WITH A STICK" YEP, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT!!! LOL.

You don't realize how fast there going and how big these guys are until you get close to the glass at a game....these guys are fearless and brutal

I'm glad the clip at @12:52 is the most replayed. That hit on marchand is so satisfying to watch

Nah hits in hockey are harder, just think about how much faster people can go on skates vs in cleats. The collisions are brutal

A solid hit by Kronwall will forever be my favorite. I love people discovering how violent hockey can be lol

Hockey is the most fun to watch live. I definitely recommend seeing a game if you're on vacation in Florida or something. When you play hockey it really feels like you're flying out there. Big hits do happen but not all the time. Hockey is like a combination of different sports. There's a lot to enjoy, but it is a low scoring game. Personally, I love watching the shootouts but a lot of fans don't. Maybe you could react to NHL Shootout Highlights...

You guys talking about Hockey is like me talking about Soccer... amazing.

As a Canadian who started watching you guys for your eminem reactions... I'm so happy you made this

They used to play with no helmets. When they implemented helmets the players refused to use them so the NHL made it a rule that all new players had to wear helmets.

I've been a Hockey fan since 1976. Over the years I have taken 3 of my black friends to NHL games. None of them had ever been exposed to hockey. All 3 came away from the game die-hard hockey fans. The same goes for the 6 or 7 other ladies I have introduced to it over the years on dates. Yes, hockey games as a date. If she doesn't like hockey she can hit the road. Anyway, Hockey has always been a predominately white sport. Why I don't know. But I am thrilled to see that thanks to videos like this Hockey is being exposed to a whole new group of fans. So welcome aboard and enjoy the sport. If you like it now, go to a live game. There is no other sport that even compares to live hockey. Also, remember, unlike the 17-game NFL schedule, these guys play 82 games plus playoffs. They are the toughest athletes around.

Long time hockey fan here, detroit red wings to be exact. But keep this in mind about hockey, a reporter onced asked Brendan Shanahan #14 of the Detroit Red Wings back in the 90's "Is hockey hard?", this is his exact quote, and why i have more respect for hockey players then todays pro football players, just saying, but his quoute, "Is hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us. Oh yeah, did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. Next question"

I watch a tremendous number of hockey compilations. I would suggest “ The Beauty of Hockey” part 1 and (part 2 if you liked 1). Also “ The Code”. It’s about the unwritten code (rules) that is self governed by players on ice. Loving the reactions boys. Bill Burr is the goat. Keep ‘em coming!

Nashville is a very good hockey city. As a Canadian, it's really fun to see you guys making hockey culture your own!

Football players have a lot more padding, and hockey players are moving at up to 25 mph....each. You may not realize the rink is 200 ft end to end. These guys can skate 2/3 a football field in 4 or 5 seconds. Throw in hits to the boards and the razor sharp skate blades, it's no wonder few players make it through an entire year without some sort of injury.

When they fight, helmets come off and gloves drop. 😂 love this sport

Great reaction! As to the physicality of the game there are a few sayings. Football is a contract sport where as hockey is a collision sport. Drop your stick, drop your gloves, drop your opponent. And one of my favourites, there’s no running out of bounds in hockey. Great video. Check out a best hockey fights video or hockey’s worst injuries (quite graphic).

it’s called a penalty no foul check out the fights Here we go ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y2WfZwfmbEw.html 🎥 Tom Wilson's At It Again | NHL Fights Of The Week - RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H_neSjf8QMA.html Top 10 NHL fights of all time | NBC Sports - RU-vid

if you travel in here FINLAND or places like CANADA , hockey is EVERYTHING !

Watching you guys faces is cracking me up. This white guy grew up playing hockey since I was 6 years old. Thanks for the video

Couple points for you guys as new to hockey- Penalties wont get called until the team that is to be penalized touches the puck again, ref will hold his hand up to signify the penalty is coming, giving the other team a chance until the offenders touch it, thats why you arent seeing the penalties called right away. 2nd- While brutally savage hits happen in hockey, checking against the boards injuries can be lessened from the incoming hit by getting/jumping up off the ice a little bit and letting your body go into the boards/glass to absorb the power/energy, The boards and glass will give flex/bow to absorb some of the hit. thats why you see them leave their feet when they the see the hit coming along the boards. But alot of these were the worst hits in hockey so alot didnt see them coming. You should watch a "Hockey best fights" video, you will be amazed the savagery its awesome.

God Bless the Cartier family! Thank you lads for taking on all the subjects that you do. I learn a lot from you.

Legit need to check out the Red Wings vs Avalanche 1997 fight, nickednamed Bloody Wednesday. Avalance player checked a Red Wings player that broke his jaw, shattered orbital bone. And the Red Wings wanted revenge, fast forward to their first game in the next season. The puck dropped and so did the gloves. Would highly recommend checking that out. Love the content fellas, take care!

Hockey is my absolute favorite sport to watch live. Watching 200 lb guys skating over 30 mph shooting pucks about 100 mph is a spectacle. Plus, the 200 lb players can hit each other & even throw down their gloves & punch each other in the face if they feel one of them crossed a line. On top of the hard hits & fights, the best part is seeing the agile offensive plays where players come in with speed & basically dance through the defense to score or when two or more players make pin point passes to each other on the move to score. Goalies are also amazing in how the athleticism they show keeping the puck out of the 4 ft by 6 ft net. It's a great sport, the only one I can season tickets to & keep my interest the same from beginning of the season to the end of postseason. Not ripping any other sports, hockey is just the one I love to watch, especially live. Anyone who has never watched a hockey game should give it a try. Before the game, familiarize yourself with icing & offsides. Those are the two most common reasons for stoppage in play. if you understand what's going on with those two calls, you can pick up everything else as it happens.

Sorry my friends you got it wrong about the concussions. Hockey players are almost always going faster than any football player. By perspective Chris Johnson ran 22 mph, and McDavid is hitting almost 30. Outside the extremes the avarrage speed of a puck carrier is less than the one without and they are still going 15 mph at any point. Gliding is faster than running and the result is bigger regular hits in nhl vs nfl. Concussions are a problem in the nfl more than nhl because of publicity only and maybe a little bit that it football your head goes right to the ground sometimes where hockey it’s often to the back sliding

In hockey, they call it a suicide pass when you get a pass from straight behind yourself, forcing you to look straight back while moving forward and usually you turn your body to get the puck. Then you’re in the absolute most vulnerable position possible to get hit and these are usually the most painful hits. Surprisingly, the hits on the boards don’t usually hurt, but every now and then, you’ll get crunched by a 250+ pounder on the boards and your rib cage will be like an accordion and you’ll get all of your wind knocked out of you. Those are pretty painful. But the worst possible hit is getting hit head first into the boards from behind. There’s a high possibility of breaking your neck.

when buddy on right said "That's premeditated murder" 😂🤣

The joy you get from smacking someone down in hockey is unbelievable. Had 3 concussions while I played.

There is tons of CTE in hockey players boys, unfortunately the hits are also way harder, you can skate way faster than you can run, that’s a fact. Also no face mask covering your chin, guys get smoked and suffer massive concussions and head trauma. Football is insane and I’m a huge fan, in fairness the most insane game may be box (in a rink) lacrosse, let’s also not forget you can fist fight bare knuckle in hockey and lacrosse. Fuckin live u lads 🇨🇦

All these hits were clean. You should see the dirty ones, and the fights that follow.

Y'all need to watch "fight night at the Joe". The Red Wings vs. the Avalanche, brutal game. So much blood. It was awesome.

2 minutes into the video they say "they coming to fast in football" meanwhile i got a REAL good idea what these top 10 hits are gonna be 😂 lovin these videos rn

Glad u got the rough stuff out of the way..now watch some of the “best goals from the decade”. You will enjoy it if u like crossovers and creativity

One thing a lot of people miss, where some of these hits result in injury, most of these guys get up right away as if nothing happened. Hockey players (Canadians) are a different breed.I know a lot of Canadians, and where they as a whole are very friendly, they are not afraid to chuck knuckles when required.

"That's not a foul" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fuck no, hockey players are tough, they don't flop and cry like other sports Guys don't fight after the game. You settle it on the ice. You square up. You don't jump people or look for people after a game. Everything's settled on the ice

Hockey is hands down the greatest sport. Anyone can pick up almost any other sport. You cannot just pickup hockey and be good in 6 months. It takes actual skill and dedication

Let’s go been on this channel n love n play hockey. Cool collab lmao

They Need to Watch NHL Longest Suspensions to see the Best/Worst Actions in NHL History…It’s Lit AF🔥🔥🔥

You guys should do NHL fights next!

I grew up watching hockey with my dad. If you can follow the puck while watching it can be a really fun game to watch but I get why it isn't as big as other sports in the US. Hockey absolutely has concussion issues as those hits may seem slow but they can really hurt each other out there. Hockey players on average are slightly heavier and taller than your average cornerback in the NFL.

Love watching people view the excitement of hockey for the first time

No finer display of finesse and violence then a good ol’ hockey game. One time I went to a fight, and a hockey game broke out. True story😂

For context, Nate Mackinnon was clocked at like 35km/Hr this last playoffs and he’s not even considered the fastest in the league. So these guys are MOVING and physics alone will tell ya travelling that speed and coming up solid on something is big impact

Greatest sport of them all. Nothing. Compares. ,checking , the skill some players have, only sport that allows fighting.

I grew up watching hockey. This list has a couple of great hits but overall it was trash. No Scott Stevens in a greatest hits.... Cmon....

You all should post a reaction of you all watching hockey live. It’s so much different live. You’ll love it

Did my guy on the right say NHL players were slower than NFL players? Might want to rethink that. The difference is the hits are made shoulders to shoulder, in NHL ( legal ones). Hit to the head happen but are illegal and yes some guys had their career ended because of brain concussions (CTE stuff)

As we always say, things happen when you’re coming through the trolly tracks.💥

As a Canadian I love this reaction video. I'm a huge fan of you guys love seeing this

Love It!!!!! Keep up the hockey reactions!!!! especially the fights!!!

Hey I love your videos. Your reactions to 60s and 70s rock and roll is awesome. I had the privilege of growing up in that Era and it was the greatest music ever. Keep enjoying it and bring it to the youth. Long live rock and roll...listen to some 10CC...JACKSON BROWN...BAD COMPANY...STEPPENWOLF....JIM CROCE.DON MCLEAN...VAN MORRISON...DOOBIE BROTHERS....ANN MURRAY....GORDON LIGHTFOOT...just a few of the groups I enjoyed as a teenager.

I love football and grew up on it. There's nothing like live NHL games.

Hockey players are a different breed. Straight up tough

Football is a physical game, whereas hockey is a collision game

Hockey players are a different breed. They have no fear in hitting and they all have respect for each other.

The answer to 60 and 61 is yes, all you have to do is search for biggest slashes, there’s been some real dirty ones throughout the years! It’ll be pretty gruesome though so put on a seatbelt. Nice videos gents, you guys are hilarious and a good time!! Love from Canada

hockey is one of the best sports to watch live CartierFamily at a hockey game would be fire

I’d love to see more diversity in Hockey and Basketball!!! People don’t know what they are missing

Number one rule of hockey, keep your head up!

Hockey is actually way tougher than football. The hits are body checks like these are actually harder in terms of mathematics. There are so many risks in hockey.

12:47 haha i was waiting for this one 🤣

“With football, your whole stomach open” exact same thing with hockey lol

The toughest football player wouldn't last one NHL game, PERIOD!!!

Fair warning, ice hockey is dope because of the skills level that it commands and the physicality of it. If you watch it, you might get hooked.

You guys are hilarious man 😂😂😂😂 lmao ❤🇨🇦. Those hockey players are tough as nails man 😂😂😂

“I’ve been to a hockey game before.” “No you haven’t.” lol

Hockey players are just built different. Much more tough than the average pro athletes.

Dude...it's ice...you ever noticed hiw you stroll on some concrete versus shooting down the f$%@#&% driveway like a human bobsled....those dudes are FLYIN!! Love the channel btw

“That’s premeditated murder”😂😂

One thing that was missing was when dudes get hit through the glass :D It's pretty rare, but there have been a few good ones... I was waiting for one to see your reaction, but for some insane reason there weren't any.

I'm from Florida, never seen snow, and I'm a die hard football fan. My friend took me to a Lightning game, and I am hooked, to me, hockey players are the best athletes out there.

I lived with a Canadian for years. Canadians hate Americans for taking fighting out of the game. These boys are game 100%

I live in Inglewood California ( a suburb of Los Angeles: my family is African American ) and I took my dad to a hockey game and he lost his mind , he came from a American football household / family ( he played as well as my uncles with exception of one WHO IS CANADIAN) his first reaction was stunned silence as soon as we got home he NEARLY HAD A COME APART

as someone who loves hockey, yalls channel is awesome

You should check out videos from the 80’s, i remember huge fights where both teams ran out on the ice and went for it.

Vikings with sticks! Perfect description lololol

Listen, listen, even if you don't watch all the time, tune into the playoffs. Playoff hockey is absolutely electric !!! A team may only score 2 goals a game in a best of seven series, so every single play, every shift, matters. A bucket list moment is going to a playoff game live, but Maple Leaf tickets are a knife to the bank account

4:17 it may not look like it, but in hockey they are often going over 15, sometimes 20 MPH. Most checks are angled, so the closing speed is closer to 30 MPH, and the rule is you have to contact shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to body, or hip to hip (hip checking). If you launch upwards, raise your shoulder, stick out your elbow, or "submarine" someone by hip checking them below the hip, that's a penalty, and very often a match penalty (ejection) for intent to injure, and can get you suspended. It's because the game is so fast that the safety is emphasized, as one bad head hit can cause serious concussion issues, and CTE is a huge concern. In fact, if any check or hit to the head occurs now, that player *must* go to "the quiet room" where a concussions specialist is on stand by at every game, and if they determine that there is a concussion, that player is not allowed to return to the game, or play in any match, until cleared by medical professionals.

I love tough hockey but man kronwall was just a predator out there sizing guys up

Can you imagine a Rey Lewis type of hitter in hockey? He would probably kill someone going at high velocity like that.

Hey guys second time I have reply tonight cuz I just discovered you. You know what you guys are awesome to watch I'm from Canada and I wanted to say the expressions on your faces when you see the hockey hits, it's way more than even that. I challenge you as a Canadian, to you I believe you're American watch one season of hockey. Don't know where you guys are from and you can pick any team you want and stick with that team and go for the whole season if you watch one year of NHL you will be hooked, but I guarantee you if you watch boxing Day start of the world juniors you will love it even more. God bless keep being happy and keep sharing your reactions, from a Canadian female fan, I had to say female cuz everybody thinks I'm a male with Sami C ask my name but I am female from Canada God bless you guys you are awesome to watch

Remember, the only sport in the world with original out of bounds

Yall gotta get into hockey culture. Its awesome

About 5 of the top 25 on that list were by one guy, #55 for the Detroit Red Wings, Swedish born Niklas Kronwall. He hit so many guys so hard into the boards that the term became "He got Kronwalled"

Nowadays , hockey players are huge , like 6ft 200po at least, and the energy they put in a hit is insane Crazy part of that sometimes , the one who got hit is gettin back up, just like nothing , and they are ready for another hit , give or take

bro seeing a hockey hit in person it's so much more violent

Fun fact, one of the hardest legal hit in NHL history has been made by the smallest guy of the history! Nathan Gerber! 5'4" aproximately 130pounds!! Dude legit made a backflip after getting hit by Gerber!

The NHL, what you just watched, is the level of competition that players start relaxing and is less violent than the road to get to the NHL. The average hockey player never makes it, because of an injury. The average player that never makes it to college, will still have a life long injury. I never had a career stopper and still have life long injuries from playing.

Both Football and Hockey are today's gladiators.

Seems like the guy in the usc jacket just found a new sport to watch. Cant wait until he sees the fights
