In all honesty (neutral), Stajan has a reputation for keeping his head down at crucial moments. That was textbook "throw your body at the guy who has his head down" hockey.
Clean Brutal hit, sucks that Stajan got hurt, never like to see that, but the hit was clean, and the fact that Stalls shoulder is center mass is why Stajan's head jerked FORWARD, if it was a hit to the head, Stajan's head would fly backwards. Plus again Stall hits center mass (military term where you aim your weapon dead center of the torso) means Stajan would have to be F'in blind not to see it comming. Yea Stall came fast, with feet down and exploded into the hit, just like Atoms, age 8 learn.
For all you dumbasses saying "keep your head up!", HIS HEAD WAS UP. Staal cut in from the flank and completely blindsided him. Anyone who defends this hit is a biased moron.
@jimih64 no they did not. also to your other idiotic comment it was not a blindside. I am far from a Ranger fan, but this was clean. Learn the game of hockey and play it dumb ass.
@jimih64 ONE foot does not equate jumping into the hit dumb ass. Also it is not a blindside hit like I said before. Learn the game and play a game at a high enough level to know how when traveling at fast speeds when you hit makes your feet leave the ice AFTER the hit.
i hate when ppl say pros suck....sure marc stall isnt the best out there...but he sure is better then u iSayROFL hes in the NHL and u sit on ur cpu being an anonymous critic....so really, who sucks?
I think it is a clean hit, but I dont see how it's cleaner than the hit on Savard or Booth for example... So tell me the difference. All 3 are blind side hits to the head slightly after the player leaves the puck.
@inasafeplace this this joint in the arm that's protected by a pad of the same name when you bend this joint with the hard plastic protection on it and then drive it into someones head it's dirty. Here Stall does his best to keep this joint in and make contact to the body and not directly to the head. That's how this is diffrence then the Savard/Cook hit.
Maybe this is payback for Glencross's hit on Drury last year which ,by the way, was a blind side hit to the head. The Rangers did nothing at the time to avenge the hit.
epic hit. Seriously tho stajan must have a vagina, i mean this hit was injure worthy. But ive seen him hurt probably five or six times already this year
@theelboweater you would cry during the training camp physical. The fact that he's been hurt five or six times and still playing in the NHL probably says more about him. Your comment reveals more about your character than anything else.
@medhatalberta dude my muscles are fucking huge, and my lung capacity is that of two Duncan Keith's, lets not make assumptions cause now you look stupid
@theelboweater You're saying you have twice the lung capacity of a professional athlete? Yet you spend your days arguing on Youtube? Well, if you're not spewing shit out of your mouth (which, lets face it, you are) my only claim would be "what a waste."
@theelboweater Considering the fact that a normal person has the lung capacity of 4 liters of air - and a professional athlete has about eight liters - just makes your statement look ridicolous.
@grits207 Are you fucked? Stajan clearly had his head up, he just wasn't looking in Staal's general direction thus didn't see him coming. Clean hit nonetheless.
Why does play have to stop every time there's a clean hit just because players on the same team as the guy who got hit are pissed? If it's a clean hit, then they have nothing to complain about.
Keeping your head up generally means protecting yourself by keeping your eyes in the direction you are traveling. It doesn't just meaning keeping your head "up".
