The amount of clips featuring the Florida Panthers is insane lol
i mean, not just Panthers, but eastern teams in general...brah. theres more teams. lol
And Vegas
That's only because that's all they can do.
I was just happy that Vegas put those goons in their place.
About damn time!
@@mtlnascarfan hits and winning is all I want to see anyway!
90+ % of these hits were all clean.
Having grown up on 80's and 90's hockey it's foreign to me seeing players wanting to fight after a clean hit.
@@wantsome-zs5sq every single time.....that's why the NHL is so boring now
@@wantsome-zs5sq It pisses me off. Players can't accept that their teammates are getting hit. It's hockey. Big hits happen. Take it and move on!
Yes and everyone needs to grow up and keep their head up. It's hockey.
I agree, there might be charging on a couple of the hits, but they look clean to me. More surprising is none of the clips involves Marchand, who is dirty.
That Bennet hit was one of the cleanest hardest hits that looked effortless that i've ever seen in the NHL
bro tag the time if you write a comment like this

Super clean
That hit was a MASTERPIECE
you mean the one where he ran his shoulder into slavin's jaw? lol
Gudas getting leveled by barbashev 😂never gets old. About time that boy is matched with someone his size
Yea so satisfying
I was cheering when that bearded bitch got knocked on his ass.
Can't wait to see Florida get pushed around again this year.
@@joeydrummer7929That’s my fav hit just because gudas is getting wrecked
That’s what happens when you’re playing hurt
@@awwwshucks443
Gudas wasn't hurt.
He was being a pussi.
4:00 that Eichel hit looked so funny, and him getting up super pissed made it even more funny
Even funnier was when he came back and played and lifted the Cup and upchuck got literally broken
He wasn’t pissed he was in pain. He got the wind knocked out of him. And yea it was also funny when he came back from that and setup Marchessault for a goal in the next period and then lifted the cup. That was really funny too👍🏼
Him getting his name on the Cup was funny too
Just realized how much its actually charging from that other angle. Look at how many full strides Tkachuk takes in the back angle and tell me how thats not charging
@@idiotidiot5821 definitely is but playoffs🤷🏻♂️.
As a smaller player, i never got angry when i got lit up because typically i was able to use my positioning and low center of gravity to avoid it but there were a few where i just got messed up. Part of the game.
I smoked anyone that tried to hurt a smaller player. I will never apologize for that... people who apologize are cowards.
@@formereverything4268how do you know they were “trying to hurt a smaller player”
As a small guy, I don’t expect to not get hit just because I’m small, if anything I expect to get blown up every shift
I hit a smaller guy once because he was being aggressive towards my team. He was coming up ice with the puck and wham just a huge clean hit along the boards
5'10 and 70ish kg, somone tried to murder me last night, i saw it at the last second and JUST dodged it, i lost the puck dodging the shadow realm :'[
As a bigger guy during my high school years playing my coach always said that it was our job to get our pound of flesh.
Getting the juices flowing, can't wait for the start of the season!
Hits like this can change the tone of the entire game, its really necessary as long as theyre clean.
Man Florida is a menace of a team
Too bad they got annihilated in the finals🤷🏻♂️
They got ass fucked by Vegas in the finals.
Right up until Vegas knocked the shit out of them. That was beautiful.
I LOVE these, cuz most of them are CLEAN HITS.
Some really nice clean hits. Man I love hockey
The best is when a clean hit doesn't injure a guy, but absolutely knocks the wind right out of them like Bennett hit on Slavin
Slavin got launched holy shit
Hit of the year IMO
Watching midchuck and gudas getting rocked in the cup series was SO SATISFYING. Gudas had that coming the entire time😂🫵🏼
Alexander Romanov is an absolute beast. Love him!
Alternate title: players getting mad at clean hits
I cant even tell you how right you are😂
You fight people after big hits because you don’t want the other team getting the energy off of it, as well as you wanting to prevent your teammates from getting hurt
The reason why players get into scrums after hits, even if clean, is because you don't want the other team thinking they can just run all over you guys with no repercussions.
The more players get hit, the more they get worn down and can risk injury. Sticking up for your teammate after a hit shows that you aren't going to be pushed around as easily.
Pretty basic concept to grasp if you actually watch the sport.
That's just what your supposed to do your supposed to stand up for your teammates and let them know there's gonna be some sort of pushback
@@dylanroot6401exactly
All clean. Keep Hockey tough and fast
Bennett on Slavin was brutal and clean. Best hit for me
The one on Wood was great. I recall him being a bit of a problem whenever we played the Devils.
lol Gudas doing Gudas things and throwing hits after the whistle. What a plug
Kadri got LIT up 😂
Myers on Tavares is a beauty 🙏🏻
The reverse hit on gudas was insane
Why'd it take so long for this to be in my feeds? Great content.
This is what hitting a brick wall looks like guys!
love that hit on Wood. me to as a small player playing Lacrosse at 5'7 160lbs layed out many a dude with a good body check.
1:10 the way slavin just floated in the air😂
It is so stupid that after every big hit there is a fight now. If it is a dirty or borderline hit, or if its a hit on a star/rookie, sure drop 'em, but c'mon. Most of these are clean hits, keep your head up and keep playing.
As Mr Wick would say...consequences. Fighting isn't the answer though...you are supposed to just wait and let him forget about it and think he is safe and then line up his numbers later in the game and put him in hard. Revenge is one of the most satisfying feelings you can have so that is much better than some hugging and jersey pulling.
One thing I hate about the NHL now is all the retaliation. These hits are clean and guys still take exception. It’s part of the game just keep going.
Tell me you don’t play hockey without telling me you don’t play hockey. Regardless if the hit is clean or not stepping up for you teammate who’s just been lit up is the right thing to do
Some great hits this year. And they say the era of tough hockey is dying
It's not dying, it's dead. A video like this from the 80's or 90's would be 10X longer and include a lot of headshots. Wouldn't like to see those come back, but the rest of the game - yes please.
I think it`s people who should be watching lawn tennis and not hockey who ruin it for the rest of us. It`s hockey,it`s meant to be rough. Hey, drop the puck !
Its definitely dead don't get it twisted. every big hit is followed by a massive "scrum" that rivals basketball/soccer fights
body is the play, always
I’m happy there weren’t any dirty hits included in this compilation like the Trouba on Meier head shot.
That was clean. Trouba’s elbow was down and locked. He’s taller than Meier which is why some people assume it’s dirty; even though the head isn’t the center of contact.
@@musix7295 Timo Meier is 6'1. Trouba is 6'3. Two inches doesn't make a difference, it was elbow to head. Stuck up rags fans dont know what they're talking about lol
@@alexv517 I think you’re clearly misguided because it was ruled a clean hit. You think you know all, and the league doesn’t? Head contact is permitted if it wasn’t the direct point of interest.
Nice ❤
Good video
Thanks!
Ovechkin actually let up on that hit..god tier player
1:23 HOLY FUCK SLAVIN WENT AIRBORNE LIKE A PLANE
3:06 The way Lowery just gets right up and keeps skating after that hit…
Every time now that there's a big hit it's like an automatic brawl to fight instead of playing off that intensity now they squash that momemtum instantly.
8 still got it
Imagine if the NFL let players fight after good, hard, clean hits
Nice
That Goudas hit after the whistle is 100% a penalty. Not to mention boarding.
no it wasn't, you have no idea what boarding is lol the refs blew the whistle late, blame the refs not Gudas*
@@shardhoney"Accelerating through the check to a player who is in a vulnerable position, driving an opponent excessively into the boards with no focus on or intent to play the puck, or any check delivered for the purpose of punishment or intimidation that causes the opponent to go unnecessarily and excessively into the boards.”
Whistle was blown, play was dead, Goudas knew it was, no intention of playing the puck...
Read the rulebook before trying to correct someone.
Keegan’s hit on Tkachuk!!
Keep your head up kid
NHL never take these hits out of the game
That last hit. The was ouch town lol! Knocked clean out it looked like.
Sam Bennett hit was beautiful
Slavin got his bell rung
All dives!
6:21 for me that was the hit of the season
rent free bud
Yea hell of a reverse hit
Better than Bennett on Slavin? Nah
It’s funny how much the NHL has changed. Big hits are a thing of the past.
Ткачак не заплакал как многие современные игроки, лежит и ругается😂😂😂😂. Молодец.
@1:17man i know that feels, ive been hit like that just dazed and confused for a 1 or 2
Most hard hits are done to players who don't see you coming!
God dam Sam Benny killed Slavin and my god it’s amazing
this is the vid to show those friends who arent convinced
Weird how jumping players for clean hits is what the instigator penalty is supposed to be for but never used.
why would you expect NHL officials to actually know the rules lol
Trouba loves trying to be sneaky with some headshots don't he
Hard-nosed hockey. Love it.
It’s gonna be open season on Florida this year .
How about the Matt Dumba on Jow Pavelski hit?
Is it hockey Season yet? my god i miss it! LETS GO RANGERS!!!!
All this fighting is ridiculous. Beautiful clean hits, most of the time the player hit actually had his head down..
Slavin levitated
Really need to have Hronek getting blown up by Reaves in this video . . .
As a wings fan that clip should definitely be here
Missed Ryan reeves in the beginning of the season
Which one exactly? lol
Saw a canes player on his back as the thumbnail and had to click
You know that hit by Dahlin was awfully close to the skate coming up.
Seeing what happened recently I was thinking I’d never seen anything like that before.
Makes me second guess myself as far as any criminality.
6:30 Canadian Tire ad on ice in Vegas😮
Kadri getting smoke always puts a smile on this face.
Imagine showing Tkachuk hit on DeBrincat, but not DeBrincats hit in Tkachuk
I am brazilian and only watch soccer. Hockey is insane, is not foul? I started watching NHL. If I were American or Canadian I would definitely do this sport
man i wish romanov was still a hab
They should do full armor and allow stick hitting.
Bennet knocked slavin out of the matrix machines had to reinsert him
Im a football fan and I always wonder how hard they hit compared to football in hocky and if they have the same rules like helmet to helmet or head or neck area hits. Clearly they hit just as hard maybe even harder with the momentum they build with the skates
Mostly, and from what I've understood from compilation since I never read the rulebook, hits are to be upper body to upper body contact only (shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to torso...)
But any hit to the head, legs can be extremely dangerous and cause concussions or just KO and they're illegal.
I believe that hockey hits are harder than in football because of the speed players can reach but also the physique necessary is different between the two sports. But I'd have to read about it as well.
Can't wait to see what happens next year with TO having Reaves if players make those kind of hits still on them.
Watching Reeves on the Rangers for a season and change - expect him to have no impact whatsoever. He was great in the locker room, but he did absolutely nothing as players were slew footed, goalie ran every night, late hits, etc. He fought 2 or 3 times and it was always like a personal grudge, never because the team needed it or trying to turn the tide. He is not an enforcer by any definition of the word. Just a guy who can fight. That's why he was traded. He was just taking up a roster spot and not helping the cause.
He's gonna be a healthy scratch in majority of games lmao
Nothing has happened, they still get abused. They did nothing to marchand
Abuse of Calgary should be a crime. Let the little teams have their fun
Someone's feelings get hurt after every hit
Playoff Bennett knows when and where man. JEEEEZUS crispies.
Pageau hit on necas into the islander bench??
5:35 Marchment just immediately no-selling the hit and skating after being knocked down is so fucking hilarious
The guy barely grazed MARCHMENT. Hit was not that big of a deal & that's why he jumped right up!
Most are clean but if you get rid of the instigator penalty, you’ll eventually see these hits taper off. The puck carrier has to do a better job at who’s around him
Wish my Ducks hit even half as much as Florida seems to. Wouldn’t have been a basement season
0:55 how is that a penalty?
Could maybe argue it was boarding or a late hit. But I think its a pretty clean hit.
The NHL is going the route of the other major sports and killing themselves to appeal to the mindless sheep over hockey fans. Expect more bull as the league becomes soft as baby shit
Late
Maybe because the Fat Dolphin was the third man in the battle and also it was a late hit?
Missed troubas hit on athanasiou and timo Meier.
Head down man down.
The hit on slavin may have been clean but it’s just a dirty thing to do. Slavin is one hell of a defenseman but he’s also one of the most pacifist players in the nhl like that’s hockey’s dad right there he doesn’t play dirty he just plays out of the love for the sport and he’s good at it! Breaks my heart to see him leveled like that and i can’t imagine how his daughter felt watching that.
He should be more aware
5:40 I love seeing players get fucking smoked off good, clean hits. It is such an integral part of hockey that is sorely lacking in today's NHL. (in my opinion). The greatest players don't get pissed off from a good hit, they recognize that they fucked up from not seeing it coming, then they move on.
Trouba. Always looking to hit the guy who isn't ready.
@jamesrennie747 Yes, keep your head up. Duh, obviously. That's the golden rule. I've been playing hockey for 26 years. But you know as well as i do that at certain times you gotta look down. Not for very long, but yes, when its in your skates or along the boards, you have that split second that you have to regain control of the puck.
You know another golden rule though? You dont strike when they're vulnerable. At least in my eyes, it makes you look weak. How is it any different than a hit from behind?
We all know not to hit a guy with his back turned. We have a penalty for that. And we all know not to turn our back while 2 feet out from the boards. However, it doesn't make it okay. And there is a penalty for that.
It's called respect man. RESPECT.
When did you start watching hockey? Last week?
Have no clue how Mo Seider is somehow not in this lol
that + reaves hit on hronek should also have made the list, might been the biggest of the season
and also the hit on meier by trouba
Half the time these players are not looking up. Their eyes are on the puck, not in front of them.
UFC can invent a new fighting game but on the surface of ice
When Parm and Pierre agree on a clean hit, it is a clean one. As a player and a fan of the greatest team sport in the world, I took my bumps. Broken jaw, broken ribs,, broken hand, knee messed up... I wouldnt change a bit of it. Go Leafs. You want to play?- take your lumps
i was hoping for a music video
and thats teh thachuk hit thatbroke his sternum lol
whoever makes these videos..we dont need seven slo mo replays for one hit! thank u....
❤❤
WooP
Remember when you could check someone and not have to fight afterwards? This is what really slows down the NHL and turns people away from it. How about hit one of their players, or score a goal as retaliation. Fighting isn't going to stop the player from checking someone else on the team, it just slows down the game big time.
Good point. MVPs though have been protected by goons for a long time now. That first hit on kadri is a prime example. He literally run into the defenseman. It could not possibly have been cleaner hit, but you cant touch our little princess. Lame
weird you say that, because the fighting is a fraction of what it used to be, so im not sure what you mean
and if you think this you don't fully understand the dynamics of the sport. If fights happen less, injuries and nasty plays happen more. Fighting has always been more about keeping everybody in line when the refs cant more than anything else
You could make that claim that it keeps it clean. However there are several pro hockey leagues where there are no fights and the game is clean with similar or lower injury rates. So i dont think there’s enough evidense to support that claim. Maybe even the opposite is true, think how many players have prematurely ended their career due to multiple injuries and how many goons have died due to issues related to bare knucke fighting. So if you weight in the pros and cons, I think there’s even less reasons to allow fights. Especially after clean hits, which is just silly and ladyboy-like.
Has Ovechkin ever thrown a hot on a player that wasn’t in a vulnerable position?
Did Barbashev get a penalty on that reverse hit on Gudas?
