British Guy Reacts To NHL DIRTIEST HITS

[@johnr5808]

They didn't even have the worst on here. Todd Bertuzzi on Steve Moore is one of the dirtiest and most dangerous plays I've ever seen. Literally fractured his vertebrae and ended his career.

[@joeyindahl2593]

Getting hit against the boards hurts way less than the open ice hits, however, it's the ones where the guy is like 4 or 5 feet from the boards that can get dangerous

[@spacetiger5076]

If you’re right up by the boards, yes they absorb a lot of the impact. If you get chucked into the boards…. Ouch. They can be unforgiving.

[@paulattwell6157]

Yep. On the boards, elbows high, maybe a little jump as contact is made, do a little swim with the elevated elbow. If you do it all right, you’re good, you do it wrong, winger gets an elbow to the face, you’re still good, you go to the box and feel shame.

[@klompsauce]

Crushed into the boards is rough but, having your bell rung open ice is something else.

[@paulattwell6157]

@@klompsauce been caught there more than once. It was no fun, at least the foggy memories suck. Pass the smelling salts, if you’re not twitching and speaking in tongues, you were good to go. At least playing in the 80s. In hindsight, we were pretty stupid, I doubt I would change it if I could go back though.

@@spacetiger5076 yup i have post concussion syndrome and cte from getting checked from behind in hockey its not really a fun game to play. I drive trucks now and can finally work as a 22 year old but i had to drop out of high school and do home school at a slow pace after it happened, used to be an honours student apparently, dont remember much of my life before the hit.

[@starpetalarts6668]

@@cbrosseauir5096 yes, I wan to point this out that if an intent to injure can be proven a player can charge assault against the other player. It's actually illegal to do this and player's miranda rights still very much exist.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

2:10 dont get confused, there were two notable players named Lemieux, Mario and Claude. Mario Lemieux is a Pittsburgh Penguins legend and NHL HoFer. Claude was the one in the video checking the guy from behind up against the boards.

[@andrewverburg1805]

One is Super Mario and the other is a Dirty disgusting Hockey Player I still kind of hate him.

[@elcrazychris7816]

It’s like someone named Shultz or Smith. Super common last name. For him it’s like the two Ronaldo’s in football/soccer

[@cjg2k]

Just a note - the hit where Max Pacioretty was driven into the center divider (at kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6Wkan-QitZ8Y7s) actually DID break Pacioretty's neck - his 4th cervical vertebra was fractured, to be specific. Pacioretty was out for the rest of the season, but came back the next year, and still plays to this day. Because of this hit, all the stanchions in all the arenas are rounded, and not straight any more, lessening the likelihood of a repeat instance. It was an incredibly dirty hit, though. While hockey has always been a "full contact sport" for it's century plus existence, I'm glad to see that they are continuing to remove the egregious, "intent to injure" type of hits from the game today. It used to be MUCH worse than it is today, and a lot of the most famous "clean checks" of the past would lead to a suspension today - mostly for blatant head shots. There is a long history of hockey players playing through and suffering from concussions because of things like this. Fortunately, between the NHLPA's pressure, and the actions of Gary Bettman (much as he gets a lot of hate for his decision making) the league is far more willing to change the rules to protect the players than it used to be in the past.

[@michellamoureuxm]

I remember seeing that hit live and I almost screamed man. Still don't know how Chara avoided any punishment for shit like that. But Boston ended up doing him dirty in the end too so

[@JoeBlueFrog]

After that hit Chara has been booed in Montreal everytime he touched the puck. This lasted for the remaining of his career.

[@highmedic2351]

Players still get away with stuff. Just think of Tom Wilson in 2021 when he only got fined 5k and no suspensions when being dirty against the Rangers. The game after which they played against each other days later, they fought 6 times in the first 5 minutes of the game. Prior to the meetup, the league fined the Rangers 250k when the Rangers called them out. It's complete bs. Players still barely get suspended or even for that long.

[@klompsauce]

3-26-97 TURTLE GAME

[@chrisdobbs9155]

Kris Draper suffered a fractured skull and managed to come back and keep playing. The Wings - Avs rivalry goes back way further. The Wing Humiliated Roy scoring on him 8 times to lead him to immediately, on camera during a game, ask for a trade. The Wings also ended the Quebec Nordiques's final season before becoming the Avalanche in the playoffs. Claude Lemieux was a thorn in the Wings side during his time with the Devils...

[@nikkiveldkamp5348]

Yeah. He should watch the brawl from Marxh 26, 1997

[@doug3512]

The hit at 4:36 caused Marcus Naslund to miss 3 games with a concussion. The retaliation from Todd Bertuzzi that came later landed Steve Moore in the hospital for 5 months with multiple fractured vertebrae and a severe concussion. He was never medically cleared to play again, and has stated in interviews that he still suffers headaches. That was the dirtiest play I've ever seen in hockey, and they left it out.

[@nickb5622]

The Montreal police actually did consider charging Chara with a crime for the hit at 6:35. Absolutely brutal.

When you said….that could have broken his neck, …..it did, that was Max Pacioretty. He suffered a concussion and fractured vertebrae in his neck.

[@timestampplug6876]

A hit is considered dirty if you hit them in the head, hit them without the puck, or 3+ seconds after they have gotten rid of the puck. Also if their back is facing you and they’re a couple feet from the boards and you still hit them from behind it’s dirty.

[@zacharyliles8657]

Claude Lemeiux's hit on Kris Draper (1:38 in the video) is one of the most consequential moments in NHL history. It sparked the most heated and intense american professional sports rivalry ever. Secret Base has a phenomenal video on the rivalry I would love to see you check out!

[@rickncam3]

The plus side of seeing the stretcher brought out onto the ice in a hockey game is that in most cases it is for cautionary purposes, especially neck and head contact. All precautions are truly appreciated by the league, the team, the coach, the players and the fans,

[@Nitesraven]

Mark Messier is 6'2 and about 200 lb , so some of his hits did hurt. He used to play in Edmonton Oilers. We call him " the moose" for a reason. 😅

​@morganmckenzie1303 He's definitely not in tCook's league, but he did hit to injure. One of his worst hits gets very little attention IMO. The Marshasault hit was sooooo late and shoulder to jaw

[@Canadagraphs]

I am legitimately shocked the Steve Moore hit on Naslund was in here, but they didnt follow it up with 1 of the most notable hits of all time, the retribution Moore got the next game when Bertuzzi attacked him, and 5 players piled ontop of him, breaking his neck. It literally turned Bertuzzi from 1 of the top 20 players in the game at the time, into a villain across some parts of the league, and he was never the same again when he got back from his suspension.

[@britneyshearer5935]

I was waiting for it to show too. It's the one that sticks out in my mind at all times.

[@robertmilanov6927]

If you haven't already, watch "The Brawl in Hockeytown." It will tell you the whole story about the Red Wings' beef with the Colorado Avalanche, bit especially Claude Lemiux. (I probably spelled that wrong) Any analysis of the Wings/Avs feud of the late '90s will give any red-blooded sports fan a good time.

[@klompsauce]

3-26-97 🐢🐢🐢

[@Statinthehat]

Newer fans sometimes don't realize that headshots used to be legal. The Cooke-Savard and Messier-Modano hits were within the bounds of the rules at the time.

[@bradsaunders5367]

After Cook was not suspended, every head shot was looked at differently.

[@lrsrosebud]

I don’t know all the details but there was a game in the 70’s where a Minnesota North Stars player lost an eye during a game. My brother was at that game and said it took him a year or so before he could go to another game, it was that bad.

[@timcampbell5758]

Headshots are definitely a concern, especially considering that they wear elbow pads that have a hard plastic exterior. It makes them weapons. Ironically headshots are a more recent (late 80s to present) development (not that they didn’t occasionally happen). Back in the day players didn’t wear helmets so head shots were far less frequent (40s to early 70s when more and more players started to wear helmets). Craig McTavish was the last player to play and not wear a helmet (mid to late 80s as I recall). Knee on knee hits were often seen as the dirtiest hit, because a knee injury can effect your ability to skate and thus end your career in a blink of an eye.

[@robertduncan4787]

You missed the hit by Darian Hatcher of the Dallas Stars on Jeremy Roenick of the Phoenix Coyotes. Broke his jaw. Retaliation hit for a dirty hit on Mike Modano earlier that season.

Check out the brawl in hockeytown. I think you’d like that. Basically a game that was 100% fight. 2:04 this hit was the catalyst to that game.

[@klompsauce]

I really need you to cover the response to the Lemuix on Draper hit, the game was 3-26-97, Darren McCarty got Claude back, it’s known as the “turtle game” bc Claude just covered and tried to get into his shoulder pads, and that game sparked arguably the greatest rivalry runs in the game. God damn I miss those Red Wings v Avalanche days. I subbed, so I’ll be able to see your react video on the McCarty answer game, it’s an all timer, even if I wasn’t a resident of HOCKEYTOWN.

I thought Pacioretti was dead when Chara took him into the boards. You forget how fast these guys are going, and Chara is a freaking beast of a human.

[@Onlytheclouds]

Yeah this one was real scary. Max was pretty close to a life changing injury

[@adrianmcgrath1984]

This is a large part of the reason that fighting doesn’t get outlawed. The argument is that people would play a lot dirtier and take dangerous cheap shots if they didn’t either face the risk of getting beaten up for a cheap shot, or have the ability to settle a score in a relatively safe way.

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

I got called up to double AA hockey team for a couple games when I was 13…..the last guy that got clocked in your video, was on that team!! I played with him…..Rob Murphy is his name. He is a huge person! He was more often on the giving end of those highlights reels. Cheers.

[@keir13]

Richard Zednik who was hit in one of these clips also once had his jugular cut by a skate. I’ve seen that happen twice (the other time was Clint Malarchuk) and both guys are lucky to be alive.

[@starpetalarts6668]

btw they're wearing protection, so an elbow to the head is also a carbon infused polymer elbow pad on top of the hit. Elbowing or kneeing are some of the dirtiest hits in the league. I say some because charging, sleuth footing, and nut hooks/slashes are worst by far.

2:10 There are two standout hockey players named 'Lemieux'... Mario Lemieux is a Pittsburgh Penguins legend, one of the best players of all time, in many respects second only to Gretzky, career cut a bit short because of leg and back trouble and other things... The other is Claude Lemieux, who's the best offensive upside enforcer in the game's history. 'Ferocious' is a good word to describe his play, but he also put up pretty great numbers for someone with his style of play. While he had a couple seasons around 80 points and mostly hovered around 50-60 in his prime, he was an outstanding playoff performer, won playoff MVP one year, made the playoffs in 15 straight seasons and won 4 Stanley Cups. His son, Brendan, is a depth player / lineup filler / pure grinder in the NHL right now, playing for the Flyers.

Brown is listed at 6’5 and 220 lbs while Burroughs is 6’ and 180 and Burroughs managed to hold his own.

Didn't even know it was broken till tried and failed to get up using the arm twice. Would like to count the half-fake tooth I have but that was from the "can go fast but can't stop" stage of learning to ice skate.

When I was about 15, I took a knock from a guy who tried to hit me but I saw it coming and moved…his knee went straight into my thigh and I was on crutches for the next 3 months.

I'm a little surprised that the "Bertuzzi vs Moore" incident didn't show up in this video (the hit that lead up to it did), but when asked "What is the dirtiest hit you have ever seen?", that would be my answer. Wasn't even really a hit, more like assaulting another player on the ice. It ended Steve Moore's career, and I personally don't think that Todd Bertuzzi's suspension was long enough (mainly because most of the suspension was during a lock-out, so no one was playing.)

[@jeffer1101]

Keep in mind, this video is of the "NHL DIRTIEST HITS", so they are illegal. Many of them resulted in serious suspensions. A few also resulted in serious beatings the next time these teams met. Matt Cooke was one of the dirties players to play in the last 40 years. Almost ended several players careers with his dirty plays.
