Snot Stevens
Nevertheless Stevens was a good player he also was a big DIRTBAG on the ice, going for the heads of other players, without hesitaging to injury them. Lindros and Kariya hit... both hits were actually carrer ending hits.
don't ask Scott Stevens what him and Dino were doing in a limo with a 17 year old ! :o
He was my favorite player growing up and I loved open ice hitting like him.
Doesn't take skill to blindside, headhunt or cheap shot players, often when either not having the puck or several seconds post a pass. Also, bailed out of every fight, grabbing & holding like a pussy - this guy is a total POS by any standard. His scumbag version of playing hurt the game - early retirements for actually skilled player such as Kariya.
Over rated.
In nhl 2001 he was my favorite Hammer 😅😅😅 ... Danm ,i miss that game.. it was a fun game to play on ps2 back in the days
Goon.
The only way steven could hit was blindside and late. He knew he couldnt take one if the guy knew he was coming HOF garbage.
Dude threw more cheap shots in his career than any other player in league history. He wouldn't last in what the league became after the 90s because he'd be suspended all the time.
he was a disgrace for the sport and the nhl and that is his legacy.
Checking is part of the game, and sadly it’s all but gone. Btw I don’t remember anyone calling it the dead puck era. The left wing lock was popular with some teams but not the entire league. And there were a ton of elite goal scorers when Stevens played.
Checking is still part of the game. It's just around the mid-00s the league started to really crack down on headshots to help protect the players from concussions. With modern replay it's near impossible to get away with the stuff Scott used to do, and that's a damn good thing.
@ I watch a game everyday having ESPN+ and checking is not part of today’s game. It’s a bunch skaters flying around with minimal set plays. It’s tournament Olympic style hockey, which is not physical and less exciting.
One of the dirtiest hitters ever too
Dude snorted more amphetamines than a trucker in the 70's....
One of the best all-around defensemen ever. One of the best Captains ever in sports. Playing under Lemaire and Larry Robinson put Stevens on Mt Rushmore.
Stupid headhunting goon ruined Kariya’s career
Flying around with your head down is not recommended.
What a team us Devils fans had the honor of watching back then. Every night seeing three Hall of Famers on the ice at the same time.
New York Devils? Dude. The whole reason Devils fans root for them is because they represent our state. Not New York.
New York Devils?
If you keep up the quality of the videos this channel is moments from blowing up.
Tbh most his hit were clean even by todays standards. Elbow tucked in, feet on ice, led with shoulder and harldy ever made head contact. People love to cherry pick the lindros and kariya hits to say otherwise. Anyone that grew up watching him on a regular basis knows he wasnt dirty. Messier, Tucker, Domi, Kasperitis those were dirty players very different
Most of the people crying about Stevens being dirty are bitter Ranger fans. The same fans who now defend a thug like Matt Rempe.
Like half the hits shown in this are targeting the head. You're delusional and your screenname says it all.
@@5ch3nk You were allowed to contact the head with the shoulder at this time. That means that by definition these weren't dirty hits. He never lead with his elbow. And he never left his feet. This style of play may offend your tender sensibilities but Stevens played completely within the rules of the time.
0:15 The Who?
I could count the ABC’s between the time Kariya let go of the puck and the time Stevens took his soul.
Him and Niedermayer. Best defensive pairing EVER. Not even close
Good video. That is just how I remembered Scott Stevens. God, I hated the trap.
The kicker is that they only did the trap for a few years. They switched to high powered offense for their second and third Cups. In 2001, they lead the entire NHL in goals, outscoring the Lemieux and Jagr, second place Penguins by 14 goals.
The trap made for a really boring game to watch.
Under-rated? Not if you lnow anything sbout 90s hockey..he has been highly regarded since his days with the caps
As far as the leaving the skates argument people make now, what they don’t realize is when you throw a big open ice hit the impact sometimes lifts you off your skates. Some people do jump before hand but a lot of times it’s the impact and it just looks like they left their skates.
Anyone who wants to bitch about the Devils and how they played, every team was playing by same set of rules. You don’t win 3 cups by accident. They were a great team, period. I’m not even a Devils fan, just a hockey fan.
Die hard Devils fan, and I can admit Steven’s was a cheap shot artist.
You're no Devils fan. His hits were absolutely clean. No elbows. How the Rangers doing this year?
@@LaustibiChriste33 rangers? wtf is that,i only know Rags
@@rwillia99 Marty 3-0 Henrak,you know what i mean 😭
I would rank him 569 on all time list. Now as a dirty head hunter I would put him top three.
The warrior
Yeah back in the days, you had to be very carefull if you didn't wanna get "killed". Stevens was just one amongst a lot of terribly dangerous players. But not dangerous like crazy (like fucking Gordie How assholeè that guy was just plain fucking mentally unstable). I remember other players like Dion Phaneuf, Kasparaitis, Blake, Ludwig and the list goes on and on. I'd like to see McDavid play in this era... I can garantee you that he wouldn't have half the points he's getting in this ballerina league... BTW, this era, it was exactly in those days that Mario Lemieux used to play!
He couldn't deliver those head shots in today's game. But he was a hell of a hockey player.
I’m Devils fan, but I feel we shouldn’t glorify people like Scott Stevens. Yes, he was a great player, but he was a great player for a time long since gone. The reality is players like him don’t belong on the league anymore. Knowing what we now know about CTE, this style of play is unthinkable, and downright dangerous. Also, no one wants to see their favorite, star player get absolutely destroyed by a career ending hit. Scott Stevens’ legacy is a relic of the past, and should stay that way.
Your not a devils fan ... go route for Seattle you larper
Man.. I know the league let a lot go back then, but at least by today's standards, most of those big open ice hits were gutless and dirty.
Gutless.. .rofl.... go back and watch...they were mainly against guys bigger than him ... Scott was not a big dude ...in the nhl circles. .
@@mostlycrazyallthetime guy could put any team on his back. only a handful of those players ever existed. he is the perfect storm like brzenk..
@TotallyConvinced dude..this is so beautifully put
Amazing player but those headshots were so cheap and dirty. Glad we don't see them go unpunished anymore.
Fight ducker
Great video.
jacked up on sudies, making an aggressive guy extra aggro.
You can't be underrated if you're a "superstar".
the devils were my second team as a kid i played goal so hasek and brodeur we my favorites and i wasn't the biggest fan of scoring
Oh yes, "chickenshit-Stevens".......not a fan
Rofl..... you mean the dude who fought entire teams and fans and 19 year old. ... you cant make this type of ignorance up
My favorite player of all time
Stevens came from the era where coaches preached, "Keep You Head Up!" Today, they dangle easily knowing the defensemen are not allowed to knock their heads off.
No. Lots of big hits still happen. The difference is you're not allowed to hit late or embellish a hit to a player who is being blindsided- like exploding up and through to make sure you hit his jaw. Scott Stevens never played an honest day of hockey in his life. He was coked up, juiced out and made most of his impacts doing things that would be illegal today for good reason. Because owners and fans want to see 10 million dollar players play the game, not the domestic abuse man get away with even more things because authorities refuse to stop him.
@@booradley6832we watch hockey for the violence and hits not to watch people play with a stick.
This man will knock you into next week and freaking laugh at you
Well made video. Nothing bloated, just good clips and narration!
Domi’s thoughts on Stevens on the Cam & Strick podcast was interesting 😂
Thats because Scott embaresd his ass so bad that tie got suspended taking one of the biggest cheap shot dirty hits in hockey history on neidermayer... cost his team the win in that series... not to mention go back and watch Scott's videos from his days in Washington... that dude fought the entire league including every heavy weight in the league...hell him and Kevin hatcher even fought fans ..... in new jersey Scott always had much bigger enforcers to do the fighting... peluso, Oliwa, Mckenzie ... tie is a complete idiot
Highly skilled player. I think it’s wrong you could hit a guy so hard that you end his career. First time I ever heard that he may have been on performance enhancing drugs. But isn’t that more speculation than proven?
It's even worse because he threw all that weight directly into guys heads. Hence the careers ending.
Every game the Devils played was fun to watch, I am a Habs fan, and NJ was my favorite American team, mostly because of Stevens, i loved Brodeur too. We were very blessed with incredible goaltenders back then, Roy, Hasek, Brodeur, Hextall (who was a little more well known for his temper then his goaltending, but still had skills), now team Canada has to resort to Samuel Montembeault for goaltending, that's quite a far cry from the old days! Team Canada back when i was a kid had Patrick Roy, backed up by Martin Brodeur. lol. You know ur goaltending is crazy good when u have Brodeur as a back up! lol. I think Brodeur even started in a couple, if im not mistaken, it's was a long time ago! lol, and my memory isn't what it used to be, which was never great to begin with!!! lol.
Dirty hitter video is a joke
