Mike Jones Really? The most illegal hit out of all hits ever? :D Search for "Hardest and dirtiest hockey hits". Now there's some really illegal hits in that video
If it were today's league, Gretzky would have been suspended for 354 games, fined 90 million dollars and Gary Bettman would have personally called his mom to tell her how bad of a boy he had been.
rightfully so. if guys were allowed to leave their feet on hits, guys would be dying out there. goons would be ending careers nightly. but thats what a lot of fans seem to want based on youtube comments. fuck skill, we only want fights and hits.
I'm not short, but I'm not a thick guy like some of these others, So I had to learn how to take a hit without getting knocked on my wallet. So, I learned how to always be in balance and have my skates under me when I felt a hit coming. Turn my shoulder toward the checker. Most guys at my level, advanced amateur adult didn't know how to check. I learned playing high school hockey which was full checking. Usually the guy coming at me would just bounce off and have to pick himself up
Datsyuk made that "throw the shoulder before you are about to get hit" hit all the time, as well as plenty of other hits, which is why he was possibly the most complete player during his time in the NHL: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mmvlPVnXOAs.html
Hits by players who dont usually hit? Filip Forsberg hits a lot. Well above average last season. Same with Zuccarello. Datsyuk is pretty much known for being feisty with sneaky hits and ditto with Gerbe. So whats up that? Weird compilation.
eric witt that was such a great hit on a big goon. Weber had been getting away with hits that normally should have been suspensions. That was a small bit of Justice for datsyuk.
