@@retrobluemusic A lot of fans don't understand or appreciate defensive defencemen. This video proves it. I love that aspect of the game. Tons of Leafs fans wanted Holl sent to the Kraken for nothing. If you take the time to watch him play you get that he's just a player that makes the right plays, sees the game and doesn't give up the puck. He knows how to get the puck out of the defensive zone and into the offensive zone be it by taking it himself or passing it. He shoots with the goal of getting a rebound instead of worrying about getting a few goals because he knows that more goals will happen that way. Fans are pissed off they lost a winger they paid almost nothing for instead of the defenceman who solidified their blueline.
Old video, but what the hell was the ref doing on that Caps vs Pens play? Puck is loose, keep going. Pens had 3 penalties in that play that they ignored.
I’m a big fan of good defensive work
Same bro
arent we all
These plays deserve more appreciation
Coaches LOVE these plays.
ikr for reason theres not many compilation videos on youtube for amazing defensive plays.

@@AngryFrog97 did
True but all it is are battles in the net
litterally one of the only compilations of best defensive plays
We get no respect lol. Mostly offensive shots and goalie saves. Defense don’t get much love
As a defensive hockey player I have a lot of respect for these people
Cause you are one!
Bro same
Can we appreciate how good doc was shown especially at 2:53
My fav hockey channel to come back from the dead :)
4:48 he slide tackled him
6:11 is absolutely insane
How was that not a trip on subban
Puck first I think?
2:54 so intense
Almost feel bad for laughing at the Pavel x Doughty clip. Doughty ain't playing with no dekes
6:27 NEVER heard him like that before
Doughty's hit on datsyuk is one of the all time greatest plays
Defense is where the real skill is.
the last one was epic
What year was this
Sick!!
dude, your videos are sick! you should do a face reveal man
YES! I've been waiting all my life for this
Lol, why?
because he might be cute
