How a Vicious Cheapshot Turned Him Into One Of Hockey's Most Polarizing Figure's....

Hunter's career statistics are staggering, having played 1407 games, scored 323 career goals, and accumulated 697 assists for a total of 1020 points. With 3563 career penalty minutes, he finished second all-time in penalty minutes behind Tiger Williams. In the playoffs, he played 186 games, a record for most postseason games played without a cup ring, scoring 42 playoff goals and 76 assists for 118 points, with 727 penalty minutes. Renowned for his toughness and leadership, Hunter was one of the most popular players in the locker room, serving as a captain and true leader.
Despite his impressive career, Hunter's legacy is somewhat overshadowed by his unfortunate decision to cheap-shot Pierre Turgeon following his goal in the 1993 Stanley Cup playoffs. This incident, along with his emotional play, may have contributed to him not being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Despite this, Hunter's career stands as a testament to his transformation from a second-round draft pick into one of the best power forwards in the world for a period of time. Dale hunter made a costly mistake that ultimately may of lead to him never being inducted into the hockey hall of fame, but his legacy and impact on the game is undeniable.

[@samuelhanneson472]

Didn't even know he was a player am a relatively new hockey fan I love your videos for showing me more of the hockey world!

[@derick-smith]

Worth watching again, awesome content as always!

[@BruinHerr-bj7uk]

I watch Dale as a kid when my dad had season tickets at the Capital Center in Landover, MD. One tough SOB. When they tore down the old arena they gave him the old penalty box. He used to have the record for the longest suspension.

[@joshdrumheller4920]

I love that he's part of the 1000/1000/1000 club, too. It's an achievement all by itself.

love it, awesome vid

Islanders head into Pittsburgh for the next round, without Turgeon for the first 6 games of the series. Glenn Healy makes some clutch saves and Arbour out coaches Bowman. David Volek wins it in a 7th game, OT goal. Must see classic series. Jagr is still seeing Darius Kasparitus in his nightmares. H.O.F is about greats, not about "very goods".

Esa Tikkanen was also with Capitals during 1998 playoffs, but i wonder did he played in same line with Dale? That's a quite duo to play against.

[@MrOctober44]

Isles fan. Nothing else needs to be said

indeed, one of the biggest scumbags ever to lace em up

It wasn’t the Eastern Conference back in 1982. It was the Wales Conference, named for the Prince of Wales. The Western Conference was the Campbell Conference, named for former NHL president Clarence Campbell.

[@BruinHerr-bj7uk]

It sucks they changed it. All the conference and division names were honoring actual people. The Caps played in the Patrick Division of which had 6 teams while every other division had 5. Many times the Caps didn’t make the playoffs while other teams with less points in other divisions did.

Hunter gave Turgeon a firm shove for showboating, a common misdemeanor known around the League among all players back then. I'd vote for Hunter for the Hockey Hall of Fame.

[@faunbudweis]

Cmon, that was no showboating, Turgeon did one fist-pump, raised his hands and glided along the boards. The moron Hunter was not pissed because of "showboating" but because he was the one who turned it over to him. Hunter absolutely does NOT belong in the HoF.
