NHL Biggest Hits On Goalies

Unfortunately I had to cut many of the clips short to avoid age-restriction issues. There were quite a few fights I had to exclude, so if you want the links to any let me know!

I remember that first hit on Lundqvist. There was outrage by the organization and the fans, not because of the hit, but because of the lack of response by his teammates. You saw it in this video. Play went on. No one dropped the gloves. It was a bad hit, and it called for some reaction from the team, but there was none.

[@rickseiden1]

BTW: I'm one of the few people out there who says fighting has no place in hockey (please don't argue with me on this--I know that I'm in a very small minority and I'm aware of how everyone feels about it), but when someone lays your goalie out like that, especially when that goalie is someone as important to your team as Lundqvist was to NY, there has to be a reaction from the team.

If a goalie is going to leave his crease/the trapezoid, he's gotta be ready to be hit like that. He's not in his position, he's in the skaters' area now. Smith flops for sure, but they hit on Miller is only a thing because he bitched about it in the media

Or are you going to brace yourself for the contact and continue to play the puck, like someone who isn't a pussy? It's a hockey play, it wasn't targeting, it was Lucic attempting to win a race to the puck and doing so. Hasek charged out of the crease all the time and never had a skirt put on him just because he was a goalie. Soooooo why is the Miller hit any different? It's not.

[@DarkDays4]

I think Mike Smith takes pleasure in getting leveled.

[@nathaningram2605]

Well in some of the cases, if the goalie wants to play the puck as a player then he should run the possibility of getting hit

[@T0rche]

A goalie coming out of his crease to play the puck does NOT automatically become "fair game" like any other player. It even says so in the NHL Rulebook. Goalies aren't equipped to endure body checks. They may seem big but their entire equipment is 100% designed to protect against pucks, not bodies. Because of their equipment, goalies fall very awkwardly and body checking them runs a lot more risks than body checking a player. Goalies are ALLOWED to come out and play the puck and you are NOT allowed to body check them when they do so. That's the written rule.

[@warrax111]

@@T0rche bullshit blathering. If he leave the net, he has right and power to get puck, move, shoot, pass, and even score. While other players don't have same rights to defend from him? No... if he wants to be protected, he should stay in net area, if he leave, he is going fully into "players" game as player, the hits and body checks are justified.

[@T0rche]

@@warrax111 Believe what you want, and you can live in a world with your own rules if you wish, but I merely stated the actual rules of the game. If you allow players to fully check a goalie, just like any other player, they won't come out of their net as much and it will affect the flow of the game. It's been tested. It's also just ridiculous to believe that a goalie can defend himself properly against a body check. That's why whenever a player body checks a goalie and the referees deem that it was intentional, it's an automatic penalty, no questions asked, no matter how far out the goalie was. It's not that complicated. A goalie can come out to play the puck. You CAN take the puck away from him, you can even lift his stick, but you CANNOT body check him.

[@warrax111]

@@T0rche if he is not sure, if he makes it in time to puck, he should not risk it. It's goalie fault, if he going to be checked. In most of the cases, they were provocateurs. They even didn't check surrounding. They've played victims perfectly.

[@warrax111]

@@T0rche dude, when you are full speed, you count on it, that ice is eighter empty, or if someone is there, you can bodycheck him, with that speed. If goalie makes player from himself, and going there, player can use him as obstacle to slow down.

Hasek is a legend. What a dude. He would have gladly fought his own fight. Hasek was probably the main goalie for the trapezoid rules concerning where a goalie can skate and play the puck. I’m from Montana and a lifelong Flyers fan but Hasek is my second favorite goalie behind Hextall. I really loved watching the Dominator.

[@Oheao]

Hasek was a great goalie but it was definitely Brodeur that caused the trapezoid rules.

[@ratedRblazin420]

[@yeahmydudes]

Not expecting to get hit as well as not being able to take hits for a goalie is really common. That's why's they shouldn't leave the crease unless there's a line shift or something else to give them time to play the puck however they need to. A lot of these guys were also looking to draw penalties. They really need to rework the rules in this aspect. Goalies are getting too courageous and confident with coming out of the crease and not expecting hits but still somehow expecting to draw penalties if they do get contested. They're really turning goalies into divas by allowing them to play aggressively but not allowing the same in return for the opposing team.

[@darranedmundson1505]

Awesome video. For any Canadian minor hockey players, coaches and refs watching this, just don't confuse NHL with our rules. Section 8.5 in the 2022-2024 Rulebook specifically states that "the onus [to avoid contact] is always on the attacking player and PLAYERS WHO DO NOT MAKE AN EFFORT TO AVOID THE GOALTENDER MUST BE PENALIZED [capitals mine]". In the clarifying interpretations, it further states "Where an attacking player is tripped, hooked, cross-checked, or otherwise interfered with, falls, and makes contact with the goaltender, THERE MUST BE AN EFFORT BY THE ATTACKING PLAYER TO AVOID MAKING CONTACT WITH THE GOALTENDER. If the player does not make an effort to avoid contact with the goaltender, then they must be penalized for interference with the goaltender. The referee should also penalize the defending player who committed the initial foul under the appropriate rule."

The 75% who took the most pathetically-obvious dives (and that's being charitable) diminish the credibility of the others who were actually hit. Most of the behind the net hits happened because the goalie squeezed into the guy against the boards. Seriously, rewatch these and imagine being the other player... When the goalie closes off the pathway behind the net, what can you do? Come to a full stop within a tenth of a second and a five foot stopping distance? And most of those look like the goalie did it intentionally. First hit: A real hit. Lined up the goalie from fifteen feet out. 0:48 Nobody goes spread-eagle when they fall 1:20 Was he making up for a ballet class he missed? 2:13 And the Oscar goes to... A more talented actor. 2:20 He got cut from the Olympic high-jump team, so he thought he'd try hockey and show them that he WAS good enough. 2:51 The goalie cut him off. The player even jumped against the glass to avoid hitting the goalie. 3:10 The latest goalie masks are spring-loaded apparently. 3:20 A real hit. 3:52 The goalie set up the collision. Look at where his head is pointed. Watch his blocker. Spring-loaded perhaps? 4:05 A real hit. He lined up the goalie from twenty feet out. Goalie's reaction still unnecessarily dramatic. 4:44 A real hit. Lined up the goalie from center ice. 4:55 A real hit. Player made no attempt to avoid a collision. Best goalie response in the video: he fell down. No cartwheels. I played hockey my whole life, and the worst pansy goaltender I ever met was on my own team. I hated having to stand up for him when I knew that nothing actually happened. It was embarrassing. That being said, if he did actually get hit, I was the first one in 👊
