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.

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

“And that not a foul” had me dead 😂

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 !”

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

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.

I love this content honestly. As someone who grew up watching hockey the hits are still crazy to see but it’s crazy how you can just crush someone in hockey and it’s legal and dude is like “That’s not a foul?” such a sick sport and the reaction really made me realize how wild it is that you can get away with that on the ice compared to other sports where there’s way less contact

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.

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

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

Find a game. Go. Attend. ENJOY! There is nothing like watching hockey in person. You can FEEL the energy. It's crazy!

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

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

Love this video!! I love hockey and everyone loves a bench clearing brawl!!

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.

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

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 have to watch best goals and best saves compilations next. Absolutely amazing what they can do.

These dudes are just bewildered for 13.5 minutes, it’s awesome. I can’t remember the last time I was so entranced by something honestly

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!

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

Definitely start going to NHL (and AHL) games! I recommend cheering for SJ Sharks! The thing about the pads is there are areas of vulnerability that guys will sometimes take advantage of. Like a sneaky butt end of the stick sliding through the glove spearing a guy around the kidney area. The guys have so much momentum on ice and are really skilled with the puck and some of the goalies are amazing!

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 🇨🇦

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

I'm not gonna lie, this might be the most entertaining video on this site hahahaah

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!

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.

as someone who loves hockey, yalls channel is awesome

Hockey players are a different breed. Straight up tough

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

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

Vikings with sticks! Perfect description lololol

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

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

You guys should do NHL fights next!

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

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

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

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

“I wouldn’t even want the puck, guys”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Number one rule of hockey, keep your head up!

I think you would all enjoy doing a reaction to hockey fights and another one on worst hockey injuries. There have been some wicked injuries for sure! Keep up the great work!!!

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

Good content bruh and I like that USC jacket, i graduated there in 2020. Also a big hockey fan i used to play varsity hockey

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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

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😂

Yall gotta get into hockey culture. Its awesome

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.

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)

12:47 haha i was waiting for this one 🤣

thats y i love hockey the hits

After seeing this and understanding what could happen at any moment you should watch best dangles of all time which is basically “jukes” or whatever and you will have much more appreciation for the skill of the sport

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....

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

There was a great documentary that did highlight all the injuries to the brain and the affect on the players. It also highlighted how they have certain players who are enforcers whose job it is to hit other players. It’s pretty sad what the enforcers go through.

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

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

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

subbed for the hockey!

Love it. That’s what we do

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.

yo i played hockey for a long time and my head all messed up. but we love it. we go all out, trust me

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

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

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

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

yall gotta react to the craziest NHL fights of all time

And Then Do Best Line Brawls In NHL just as Lit❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

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

“That’s premeditated murder”😂😂

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

Love the USC windbreaker

You guys should react to the best hockey fights!

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

Love you guys… ha ha ha… hockey is a great sport

7:36 .. i near spit out my drink when he said 'vikings with sticks'

I used to hang out with a group of hockey players when I was younger. Those guys are a little crazy.

We need to see the best hockey fights

The one thing I love about hockey is you can see the difference between regular season to playoffs. these men put their bodies and sometimes life on the line to get to the greatest trophy in all of sports. they play around 80-100% in the regular season then when it comes time to the playoffs they play at 120%

Love hockey played my whole life

There's a few hits that wouldn't fly today but that was a really good clean ''hardest hits'' compilation. I hate when they do hardest hits compilation but most of them are illegal dirty hits.

I played football, basketball,wrestling, baseball, hockey and track. Hockey was by far my favorite!

Damn hockey is savage and I like it

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.

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

I love ice hockey! It's such a competitive sport and these guys make ice skating look so easy while chasing a puck with a stick! It most definitely is NOT!! I went ice skating once and let me tell you something I fell all over the choppy ice messing up both my knees, back, ankle and shoulder just simp!e skating while holding on to the edge and these guys make it look so effortlessly

you guys did such a good reaction, thanks :) hope you get to a game one day, the best sport to see live. if its a NY rangers game i'll uy yas a beer ;)
