Watch Stevens when he hits though, look how legal that actually is he keeps his elbow completely firm against his chest. He knows if it comes out he's going to get called. He's smart enough to hit legally by keeping that elbow in. It amazes me that it clearly became a natural instinct for stevens over his career because he does it perfectly at game speed.
left his feet to hit him ... though, at the time, crushing hits were good ... nowadays, players get hit and wail for a penalty, and when it's clean, every one wants to fight
@MrDaemonB look very closely at his feet at 38 seconds are they in the air or just in the air. Its called charging and considering that he rocked him pretty good, that makes it a dirty hit
@mrfluffy02 Textbook hit but no need for it???? It's FUCKING HOCKEY, not the Bolshoi! It's 1-1. Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals! Yeah, I'd say there's a need for it! Watch soccer--they never touch each other, but they fall to the ground screaming and flailing away like they've been run through. The people who insist Stevens is dirty are the same ones that SCREAM Marty Brodeur is a "system goalie." We have a name for them--Ranger fans.
@fluffynoses Seriously son, get a grip on life. Fans and media like you are reason why the league's gotten pansified...what next? Argue that I'm insensitive to gay people when I have friends that are homosexual? Let's talk about the hit instead because we don't get hits like these after all...
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi you retarded little fag dont realize that he did jump before making impact on Kozlov , go watch UFC or something if you think hockey is only about hits to the head , fucking ontario pussie
@max432156 I watched his feet. never once jumped dude. not even from ontario dumb ass haha. no you do not know shit about hockey you are some skater faggot who knows nothing about hockey. Lemieux came close once. That was it. He may have done it once not 4 times dumbass. haha always hated you french fags from Quebec, but now I do even more. Whipe the cum from your eyes you fucking plug. BYE BYE PUSY!
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi he did jump you are obviously blind you english faggot . And if were pussies not all the best goalies in the history of the nhl would come from Quebec, Brodeur, Roy, Luongo, Jacques Plante. And yes if he was healthy lemieux would have done it at least 4 times. And just because i skate dosent meen i dont know nothing about hockey, unlike you im able to be good at two sports at the same time. Get back at your UFC fighting you little english retard faggot douche bag
@max432156 come up with something new puss. UFC? don't watch it. The best goalie of all time came from Saskatchewan. Terry Sawchuck. Luongo is shit lmao. Yes because you clearly know if he was healthy he would have done it. Speculation speculation. He did not do it get his cock out of your mouth. haha I played more then one sport dude. Stop assuming shit dude you look stupid. No because you skate it means you are a skinny faggot like the others. You are a bitch. No you are all pussies. I'm done.
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi the best goalies of all time are from quebec and its Brodeur , he beat Sawchuck's record of 103 shutouts and established many other records. Yes he would have beat Gretzky 's record , its not a speculation just look at point/ per game average when he was at the peak of his career . Not to mention Gretzky had a better team than Lemieux ( Kurri, Coffey, Messier ) Lemieux did most of his points by him self ( he did not play on the same line as Jagr.
@max432156 he beat sawchucks record with better pads and a goalie mask. you are a moron. No it is speculation. Must suck being hated by real french and your own countrymen and also for being huge pussies. I hate on quebec because of idiots like yourself. Met a few I liked but the majority are idiots and pussies like you. Also it is future. Haha I have one dude. Engaged and getting paid to do what I love. Let me know when you grow up little boy. Bye bye french pussy. Not responding anymore.
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi we are real french and french from france dont hate us, i would you even know you probably never been in france douchebag fuck off . You have no futur, your older than me ( you said your working) and your talking to me like your 10 years old and your very uncultivated ( i can tell just by how you speak of other places) Il bet you'll never leave your little redneck community. And brodeur is better because even if sawchuck had shit equipment players now have better shots.
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi you should be proud to have quebec has one of your provinces, province that produces the less polution in all of canada, the two most famous canadians are from Quebec ( Celine Dion and Guy Laliberté), the National anthem was written by a quebecer Calixa Lavallé . I bet you never even been in Quebec , because you got it all wrong. Quebecers are not pussies but very welcoming and friendly persons.
@max432156 don't care. actually the 20 Quebecers I met were cocksuckers. BIG BIG BIG assholes.Dude it is future. Spell it right haha. BTW players today have better shots due to equipment advances. Also Sawchuck would be even better now stupid ass. Broduer is on my favorite team, but no way in hell is the best all time. One of hell yea. But it goes to Sawchuck. 103 shut outs with out a mask and shit equipment. Get a clue. French bias all the way eh? fucking moron.
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi thanks for helping make my point douche bag ufc lover! Brodeur is better because even if sawchuck had shit equipment the from that era players had weaker wrist shots and didnt have has many dekes in their repetoir. and you want a better goalie than Sawchuck who played without a mask and is from Quebec : Jacques Plante , he won 5 consecutive stanley cups and too the many shots to the face. I own you again redneck
@max432156 obviously you are so dumb you can not see the fact I have said I do not like UFC. You have not owned shit pussy french boy. Hahaha dude you are looking at it as if Sawchuck would not be great because of the shots........... haha he had to deal with getting hit with out having a mask on. shitty equipment. God you are dumb no point in arguing with some dumb french cunt who would probably have a gang bang with every french pussy player. Jacques Plante is not even close. Dumb ass. BYE!
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi obvoiuosly you are so dumb you can not see the fact that im a real french and not a pussy .. Jaques Plante had to deal getting hit in the face too without a mask you retarded fuck. Go on every top 10 goalies of all time and Plante is alway 1 plade behind or 1 place ahead of Sawchuck, so yes he was as good as him. And youre right there no point to argue with me because im going to diss you all the time, your retarde and have no knowledge on hockey. BYE RETARDED UFC LOVER!
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi And you should come up with something new too douchebag , stop acting like your tough you know that youre a retarded faggot with no futur. And if you were so civilized you wouldnt hate on Quebec, the first canadian province. And the reason there are more players from the rest of Canada is because other provinces like Ontario are more populated, so for our population we average really good on players that make the nhl. It must suck to be a canadian redneck like yourself.
@atone48732 really a coward? really go watch a video of him going toe to toe with the enforcer of alltime haha you are a fucking moron. you do not like stevens yet you troll his videos. get laid jackass and grow up.
perfect body check...notice in slow motion he actually tucks his elbow into his side, he DOES NOT leave his feet, as some of you idiot posters state...further more, how many times did anyone step up and fight Stevens after his hits?? if these were dirty hits you would certainly have goons jumping Stevens but you never do. This was a clean body check!
A clean hit?.... Kozlov wasn't paying attention but Stevens did leave his feet a little... could have been much worse... I looked this up after hear some people talk about it on the radio last night... this was 15 years ago and they still talk about it... BOOSH!
@max432156 these days? lmfao you amuse me. this is back when hockey was actually PLAYED. now it's a bunch of pussies that dive to get a call. I miss these days.
I agree that referees are making all kind of stupid calls now but Scott Stevens was the perfect exemple of a dirty hitter . All his so called '' best hits '' were hits to the head and most of them resulted in concussions. Those kind of hits are just unacceptable. ( except for the hit on lindros , he deserved it )
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi lol you think he wanted to run in to him XD no you are the true moron. Noticed how stevens jumped before hitting kozlov, in a clean hit the hitter should have both feet on the ground to avoid hitting the other player on the head
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi did has nothing to do with me learning hockey( obviously i have more knowledge about hockey than you), this has to do with you being blind, he claerly left his feet before hitting kozloz, anyway im done arguing with a fag like u, if u like hits like that call me and il hit you on the chin with my shoulder at full speed, than maybe you'll realize thats its not appropriate
@max432156 no he did not leave his feet before he hit Kozlov and no you do not know more about hockey then me. LMAO dude I would fuck you up on the ice badly. very badly. Lose the wanna be tough guy attitude pussy.
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi yes he did leave the ice, and i would own you on the ice , what dont you understand about stop replying douchebag , if you like people getting concussion go watch fucking UFC or something
@max432156 nope he did not leave the ice. Oh btw what happened to not arguing with me? haha fucking moron. Nice way to contradict what you said you were going to do.
I will continue to reply to you just to piss you off like the bitch you are.
No you wouldn't dude. I would fuck your world up. Let me know when you have played junor A hockey in Ontario before you talk shit. OK? thanks.
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi Im letting you know right now i played junior hockey in Quebec, and i would own you so bad on the ice . And yes Stevens left both of his feet before he made contact with Kozloz. What a cheap hit that was!
@max432156 hahah no you wouldn't haha. You played in Quebec congrats. A fucking Province filled with pussies. Good luck even stepping on the ice with me.
Also you keep replying shut the fuck up like you said you were going to you contradticing fuck.
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi Haha i would wreck you so hard on the ice i dont need luck im too good to need it , and filled with pussies , are u kidding me??! Quebec has the most rough hockey so shut the fuck up you faggot
coming from someone who had sean avery( who turtled in a fight agaisnt Hordichuck) come from their province. By the way Claude Lemieux had a second round fight with Mccarty and this time he didnt turtled but beat the shit out of mccarty so before you start running your mouth , know your facts
@BassB23 can name more that have come from Ontario. Bobby Orr and Gretzky number one. Also the toughest player all time came from Ontario. Bob Probert.
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi NO lemieux is number one if he didnt not have cancer and a bad back ( reason why he missed so many games) he would have beat Gretzky's Record. For example, Gretzky is the only player to score 200 points in a season, but Lemieux did 199 points in 76 games, so if he would have played the 6 other games of the season he would have easily passed 200 points
@max432156 haha no he wouldnt have. that is such a huge what if. Also i do not consider gretzky the greatest since he was only a one dimensional player. Bobby Orr number one. gretzky scored over 200 points dude. he did so 4 times. He scored 2005 in 74 games. Dont give me that shit dude. Learn your hockey.
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi i learned hockey, that is why io have more knowledge about it then you douche and if he didnt have cancer and a bad back lemieux would have done it at least 4 times too
Wings fan for the past 20 years, and that was an unreal hit. Kozzie showed a lot of heart coming back later in the game. Wish he was still a Wing.
I loved National Hockey Night on ESPN. Gary Thorne and Clement were great but man Thorne routinely got players mixed up. He asked if it was Bob Rouse, because Rouse wore #3 and he saw a 3 on the jersey of the downed player, but Rouse was a slow stay-at-home defenseman, Slava is short and was flying down the left-wing. Use some common sense.
Yeah, that was Clement, who's usually pretty good, but he screwed up there as well. You'd think they'd have learned Slava's name by that point in the finals, especially considering he was the Wing's most clutch player in the earlier rounds.
Nothing charging about that hit. His feet and stick were on the ground, his feet were set, the hit was totally with the shoulder. Kozlov is lucky he wasn't killed.
Did you see Stevens' teammate get thrown in that hit too??
There is no amount of money I would not pay to go back in time and hook up a camera to Niedermayer. I wish I could see this from his perspective. You'd probably never seen Stevens, but the cam would definitely pick up Kozlov flying away.
#1 - The Devils hardly introduced the NZT. It had been around for decades. Secondly, go check the amount of goals the Devils scored that playoffs; quite a bit.
Redwings fan for life, and its a beaut. I dont understand why this is known as the best hit ever, as opposed to cambells, but hey. This one was preeeetty money.
Few things...Stevens' hits were against star players in big games. This was in the Finals. Fucking up an avg-at-best umberger in round 1 just isnt the same. I loved the hit, dont get me wrong, but its not on the same level.
"Charging" more often than not is called when a player leaves their feet to deliver the hit. Stevens only leaves his feet after he bounces off of poor Slava. And you'll notice none of the Red Wings were doing too much to voice their displeasure about the hit!
Charging usually refers to a hit away from the play.. like seconds after an offensive player already passes the puck. And boarding is hitting a player in a vulnerable position against the boards from behind. Leaving your feet on a hit was a rule put in place during the bettman era. It's either called roughing at the officials jusdgement. Or an unsportsmanlike game misconduct which would result in suspension because intent to injure
For those detracting on the hit, you're really reaching to find criticism. Oh because he "had" to put his head down in this special circumstance, the defensemen should have let him go, and the charging accusation is pulled out of a camel's twat. Please haters, you're vagina is leaking all over the youtube page and it's starting to smell.
that wasn't viktor kozlov it was vyacheslav or however u spell it, but in detroit we just called him slava. lol thats kind of a funny name the more times u say it
kozlov should have stuck out the buntend of the stick to protect himself. You know to prevent the illegal charging hit that the refs always seem to miss. Stevens isn't exactly the most swiftfooted player -- he needs a running start like usual.
Right...cool...we disagree on what "clean" is. Someetimes the laws of nature say that you HAVE to put your head down if you are negotiating through traffic or trying to view the play...he didn't do it carelessly...so because his head was down he deserves to get sent into dreamland and potentially injured FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE? BS...
Stevens was my favorite d-man. I'll never forget the hit he did on Eric "Mr.Concussion" Lindros. And even tho my favorite team got swept in that series, that was a clean hit.
100% clean, hard fucking thunderous hit. got to love scott stevens. my fav player of all time. 22 years in the NHL only lands 5 elbowing calls. cleanest and hardest hitter to play the game.
Konstantinov would give him a good challenge on hardest hitter, but no arguments on the talent of Scott Stevens. I wish the Wings had had him in their lineup. He's one of the best.
Yea, dam right.. i miss watching him play so much. hockey isnt anything today like it was back then. with all these new rules and everything.. im from Boston and ive seen Scotty Stevens play in the old garden against the Bruins twice.. both games he was all over the ice.. protecting brodeur. he was the man.
um the ref saw it and agrees with me that it was clean and he knows more about hockey than you ever will. just because it was a hard hit doesnt make it dirty, since thats what all you scott stevens haters seem to think
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
AGREED. STEVENS IS REAL TOUGH...when the other guy isnt looking. HE GAVE SIX CONCUSSIONS IN ONE PLAYOFF RUN...yeah, that is a clean player. HITTING GUYS IN THE HEAD...'clean'...SURE, HE USED HIS SHOULDER TO THE GUYS CHIN.
So greasy.
Only hits Steven's had were to the head. He's just a greasy greasy bastard who didn't deserve to be on the ice.

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi lol you think he wanted to run in to him XD no you are the true moron. Noticed how stevens jumped before hitting kozlov, in a clean hit the hitter should have both feet on the ground to avoid hitting the other player on the head
max432156 1 year ago
@max432156 he didn't jump watch it again he hit him and his feet came off the ice because of the impact. learn hockey.
EyesOfTheSouthSTi 1 year ago
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi did has nothing to do with me learning hockey( obviously i have more knowledge about hockey than you), this has to do with you being blind, he claerly left his feet before hitting kozloz, anyway im done arguing with a fag like u, if u like hits like that call me and il hit you on the chin with my shoulder at full speed, than maybe you'll realize thats its not appropriate
max432156 1 year ago
@max432156 no he did not leave his feet before he hit Kozlov and no you do not know more about hockey then me. LMAO dude I would fuck you up on the ice badly. very badly. Lose the wanna be tough guy attitude pussy.
EyesOfTheSouthSTi 1 year ago
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi yes he did leave the ice, and i would own you on the ice , what dont you understand about stop replying douchebag , if you like people getting concussion go watch fucking UFC or something

@max432156 nope he did not leave the ice. Oh btw what happened to not arguing with me? haha fucking moron. Nice way to contradict what you said you were going to do.
I will continue to reply to you just to piss you off like the bitch you are.
No you wouldn't dude. I would fuck your world up. Let me know when you have played junor A hockey in Ontario before you talk shit. OK? thanks.

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi Im letting you know right now i played junior hockey in Quebec, and i would own you so bad on the ice . And yes Stevens left both of his feet before he made contact with Kozloz. What a cheap hit that was!
max432156 1 year ago

@BassB23 can name more that have come from Ontario. Bobby Orr and Gretzky number one. Also the toughest player all time came from Ontario. Bob Probert.
Want to continue?
EyesOfTheSouthSTi 1 year ago
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi NO lemieux is number one if he didnt not have cancer and a bad back ( reason why he missed so many games) he would have beat Gretzky's Record. For example, Gretzky is the only player to score 200 points in a season, but Lemieux did 199 points in 76 games, so if he would have played the 6 other games of the season he would have easily passed 200 points
max432156 1 year ago
@max432156 haha no he wouldnt have. that is such a huge what if. Also i do not consider gretzky the greatest since he was only a one dimensional player. Bobby Orr number one. gretzky scored over 200 points dude. he did so 4 times. He scored 2005 in 74 games. Dont give me that shit dude. Learn your hockey.
EyesOfTheSouthSTi 1 year ago
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi *205 points in 74 games.
EyesOfTheSouthSTi 1 year ago
@EyesOfTheSouthSTi i learned hockey, that is why io have more knowledge about it then you douche and if he didnt have cancer and a bad back lemieux would have done it at least 4 times too

Wings fan for the past 20 years, and that was an unreal hit. Kozzie showed a lot of heart coming back later in the game. Wish he was still a Wing.
I loved National Hockey Night on ESPN. Gary Thorne and Clement were great but man Thorne routinely got players mixed up. He asked if it was Bob Rouse, because Rouse wore #3 and he saw a 3 on the jersey of the downed player, but Rouse was a slow stay-at-home defenseman, Slava is short and was flying down the left-wing. Use some common sense.
TheVladinator16 2 years ago
Yes, but he then said Viktor Kozlov, not SLAVA Kozlov.
AEMoreira81 2 years ago
Yeah, that was Clement, who's usually pretty good, but he screwed up there as well. You'd think they'd have learned Slava's name by that point in the finals, especially considering he was the Wing's most clutch player in the earlier rounds.

Nothing charging about that hit. His feet and stick were on the ground, his feet were set, the hit was totally with the shoulder. Kozlov is lucky he wasn't killed.
Did you see Stevens' teammate get thrown in that hit too??
AMAZING. One of the best body checkers EVER.

SRBnaVRB 3 years ago
"Charging" more often than not is called when a player leaves their feet to deliver the hit. Stevens only leaves his feet after he bounces off of poor Slava. And you'll notice none of the Red Wings were doing too much to voice their displeasure about the hit!

isnt jumping into a hit called boarding? and charging is when you take too many strides into the tackle? i might be wrong but i thought that was it
matsblom 3 years ago
The boards have to be involved in boarding. And most boarding calls come when a player hits another player from behind into the boards.
thatwhatwas2 3 years ago
Charging usually refers to a hit away from the play.. like seconds after an offensive player already passes the puck. And boarding is hitting a player in a vulnerable position against the boards from behind. Leaving your feet on a hit was a rule put in place during the bettman era. It's either called roughing at the officials jusdgement. Or an unsportsmanlike game misconduct which would result in suspension because intent to injure

For those detracting on the hit, you're really reaching to find criticism. Oh because he "had" to put his head down in this special circumstance, the defensemen should have let him go, and the charging accusation is pulled out of a camel's twat. Please haters, you're vagina is leaking all over the youtube page and it's starting to smell.

kozlov should have stuck out the buntend of the stick to protect himself. You know to prevent the illegal charging hit that the refs always seem to miss. Stevens isn't exactly the most swiftfooted player -- he needs a running start like usual.

charging anybody. That was more than two strides.

Right...cool...we disagree on what "clean" is. Someetimes the laws of nature say that you HAVE to put your head down if you are negotiating through traffic or trying to view the play...he didn't do it carelessly...so because his head was down he deserves to get sent into dreamland and potentially injured FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE? BS...
