Kurt Sauer DESTROYS Andrei Kostitsyn With a Dirty Hit

[jaygeoff111]

clean

[conorthompson89]

Clean hit. He dished the puck away right when he got hit and he ran into the check before Sauer push him with his arms.

[LunchboxEater43]

Someone explain to me where this hit was dirty. Just another french fucking faggot seeing their team get tossed around and saying it was dirty. Here's a suggestion, try not having soft fuckin players on your team. You'll never win a cup with the kosTWITsyn brothers on the team..

[gsshfxnsca]

Where was the dirty hit? Just because it was a Habs player that got hit doesn't mean its dirty. Get real.

[howler602]

DESERT DOGS RULE!!!

[kritikkal]

both hands were on his shoulder pads. it's called finishing your check. you obviously have never watched a game before.

[keig2560]

please guys.... this has nothing to do with being fans of any teams. Aren't you people smart enough to look at a hit and not see jerseys or names?

the defencemen drive his forearm into the face/head of the player. The nhl says they want to crack down on head shots. this is a head shot. should been a suspension.

[bill7gus]

You Habs fans act like Laraque is one of your butt buddies, you call him by his first name and act like he's a god, he sucks and so does his team thats why they got swept by the BRUINS, that was a clean hit

[belair55zz56]

Yep, clean yeah right, That's why George kicked his ass, It's a long season, payback is hell.

[pongipaps]

that was not a clean hit at all!!!! Sauer hits Kostitsyn's face !!!!!

[josh17beaton]

clean hit, 100% not 1 thing wrong with it, Habs suck also...

[passpouel]

wow,your probably a sens fan or even worse,a leafs fan....you probably also beat off to a Don Cherry poster right before you go to sleep at night.If you think that was a clean hit you need to start following the ECHL,i think you will like it.

[josh17beaton]

I'm a fan of a lot of teams, just not to the classless, cocky fag french habs, and your a pussy if u don't think that hit is clean. Is it to rough for you ?

[passpouel]

Classless,racist....i guess that means that you really are a leafs fan/from Toronto.

In that case,can you tell me why everyone is so fucking ugly over there?I mean seriously?Is it something in the water or in the air?Inbreeding maybe?

Oh and Josh!Why dont you just show some balls and admit that you are a leafs fan....or maybe your just one of those part time fans who only get behind their team after a win....it says alot about what kind of person you are....a bitch/whore.

[josh17beaton]

its not racist to call u french when your from Montreal, and ya i am a leafs fan, at least we do have some class, and don't have our heads up Koivu's ass. And btw E for effort on the ugly joke.

[corunguneee]

I think the word he was looking for was xenophobic, you used French as an insult. Pretty classless.

[josh17beaton]

i didnt mean it as an insult, but it is prety offensive...

[josh17beaton]

100% clean

[lamboforme]

Looks like a finished check to me,Stop crying Habs fans.I can't believe you guys wasted money on Laraque,I did enjoy how he followed Lucic around like a lost puppy looking for a home.He should try the UFC,someone will fight him there.Fear the Black and Gold

[ja24]

Lucic is a pussy.

[lamboforme]

hows that cause he wouldnt fight that waste of money player laraque

[SimPro25]

do you know anything about hockey? almost every team in the league has an enforcer in their team and montreal really needed a player like him because they kept getting their players hit in the playoffs. We need laraque if we want to keep koivu or kovalev on the ice.

[kovalevisgod]

Lamboforme...you definitely sound like a typical, white-bread suburban Boston little Old Money twat (my guess is Natick). You calling Kostitsyn a pussy because he's from Russia makes no sense. It wasn't a clean hit and if you had played hockey at any decent level, you would know that. You think your little frog friend Bergeron (or Savard for that matter) would have gotten up from that hit??? No, he would have taken a whole year off to unscramble his eggs like he did last year.

[lamboforme]

that was clean, its just kostitsyn is a pussy

[illkickassyou]

no, YOU are the pussy...

[lamboforme]

all im saying is hes a russian player who cant take a hit, plus what do u expect out of a bruins fan... GO B'S GO!!!!!!!!!!

[mokyboy11]

First of all he's belarus, and how could you just think that you're nationality makes you more or less able to take a hit. If he's in the NHL it's because he can play hockey and take normal hits!

[IvanMtl]

I live in Montreal, and that was definitely a CLEAN hit.

[ricktheman95]

slow it down, it was a clean hit, as he goes down, the hands slide up tothe lower face....Dirty hit my ass, it's called good hockey. All these sissy ass rules these days are going to ruin the sport.

[JimB667]

At most thats a boarding penalty. Suspension? In your dreams maybe.

[altorchio]

The point is his arms hit his head and even if his arms are on the chest this should have been a suspension due to the fact that hits to the head dirty or clean are illegal and considered assault in the NHL and other hockey league around the world

[lamboforme]

ur definently a habs fan

[atranos]

well...what can you say? it's a great, clean hit. The kind you go for when you want to send a message...however, you'd expect gloves to be dropped over that...fights are for this stuff. the policing and punishments that the refs can't call.

[CarolinaHurricanesAl]

I could still be wrong, but if you freeze it at 0:01, you see Sauer's arms tucked in, and that's the point of contact. He isn't throwing an elbow, to me anyway. Take from a Canes' fan, I'm use to see headshots.

[anonxforum]

point of contact sauer's arms were tucked into his chest and clocked him. CLEAN fucken hit, imagine that, even people from texas see the cleanliness of this hit, only the dumb people from montreal

[altorchio]

I was at tht game and i can tell u from where i was i saw Sauer hit him pretty high up. Its a Dirty no doubt about tht and it was a clear blow to the head. Its called BODYchecking NOT ARMchecking

[ricktheman95]

where do you get the head from, it was shoulder to shoulder then the arms extend out to his chest, and as he goes down, they go to the lower head. There was nothing dirty about it. Was it nice? NO! its hockey...

[diehardcoyotesfan]

damn nice

[airzenzen12]

when you guys play hockey for a living then you can talk all the shit you want

[DarXSpiriT]

Laraque isn't the one that picks on the little guys, cause first off he hit kostitsyn then afterwards laraque wanted to go with him and since hes a pussy, he said no, but fought with Kostopoulos witch is a small guy aswell...wtf?

[ShibsCU]

He was lucky it was Sauer's hands because if he would have taken Sauer's shoulder to the face it would have been much much worse...

The only reason he got it to the face was the height difference. I'm not a Pheonix fan but I still say that was a clean hit. Unlucky and unfortunate, but clean.

[vanneloveshane]

phoenix suck what a dirty hit!

[blazejoker]

lol I swear too god if i ever saw my brother get hit like that....Id go crazy!!! As much as i wanted too see Laraque Destroy him,I also wanted too see his brother do something!!!

[jdlane89]

The hit was clean, the injury was caused by him hitting the boards. It's not Sauer's fault that he's that much stronger.

[climar]

his head dont touch the board

[jdlane89]

I meant the glass.

[ryanm1004]

forearm to the face.. dirty

laraque is the best fighter btw

[longey775]

thats hockey boys, if someone thinks thats a dirty hit maybe thay should switch to frisbee

[vega1269]

dropthegloves your a faget u suck fuckiing dick canadiens own

[danmck]

clean hit

[metfan500]

FUCK U this is not a clean hit! anyway laraque own this fuckers after!

GO HABS GO!!!

[DroppTheGloves]

Clean hit! No hit to the head. Watch the video again before you try to talk shit!

[ChrisStL1]

what the ...???? no hit to the head? look at his left arm! one arm on his head and his right arm on his shoulder! stop acting like if you knew something about hockey..

DroppTheGloves (1 day ago)

Clean hit! No hit to the head. Watch the video again before you try to talk shit!

Are you THAT stupid??? man i feel sorry for you

[DroppTheGloves]

You need to watch that video again. If he got hit in the head it was only because the idiot put his head down.

[feeeeelin]

look kostitsyn should keep his head up,it was good hit.......and stop dissin laraque hes great

[DroppTheGloves]

You must be an idiot if you can't see this hit is as clean as they get. Give Sauer props. NICE HIT!

[thisguy7788]

anyone who has ever played hockey knows that was a clean hit. he hit him with his shoulder and just followed through with his arms. his arms wouldn't affect the head injury after taking the shoulder and his head hiting the boards. secondly why is anyone comparing laraque to anyone? he is a waste of a spot on the ice. he is useless just like mcgrattan. atleast tough guys back in the day could score goals and post points. (ex. probert and domi) maybe kostitsyn should keep his head up

[oSK74o]

Your a real smart one aren't you ? Mcgrattan ? Who the fuck is he ? That's an insult to say his name in the same sentence as Laraque, BGL is by far a better player. Not to mention just his presence on the ice is enough to scare pussies like Sauer. Fucking homers, if you can't speak the truth, don't post !

[thisguy7788]

the real insult is that laraque is in the nhl, the best players in the world play in the nhl and then you have laraque who can barely skate. he'd look pretty good on a peewee house team!!! LARAQUE SUCKS

[oSK74o]

Barely skate ? Holy shit what games have you been watching ? How many of the "best fighters" in the NHL do you know that have scored hat-tricks ?

[tommytheboy14]

clean hit no need to burn down the city boys

[vega1269]

sauer is a fucking faget GO LARAQUE

[DroppTheGloves]

Your momma Sauer jacked his Ass! Laraque is a bitch too. Trying to pick on the little guys...

[magicdragon444]

DroppTheGloves '' Trying to pick on the little guys '' ?? wtf are u talking about laraque is 6ft 3 and 243 lb , sauer is 6ft 3 , 230 lb and you are saying hes trying to pick on the little guys? you are a pussy like sauer

[DroppTheGloves]

Hey ASSHAT He never went after Sauer. Laraque was going after Kieth Yandlre all night. I know yopu wouldn't say that to my face. So that makes you the PUSSY. BITCH!!!!!!

[magicdragon444]

LOL? wtf are u talking about lil fag , after sauer hit , laraque spoke to sauer he wanted to drop the gloves and sauer just said '' NO '' he never went after kieth ... retard

[DroppTheGloves]

You relly are a Fucking idiot. Apparently you ddin't watch the game asshole!

[magicdragon444]

huh , I watched the game and I saw your dirty phoenix getting owned 4-1 easy

[DroppTheGloves]

magicdragon444 you're just a dirty cock sucker with nothing better to do with your life!

[kovyhands]

oh we got a funny guy here! what a creative comeback. wow i am still reeling from the absolute awesomeness of that comment. i mean, attacking the person's lifestyle choice after an attack on your team? pure beauty. wow i am totally in awe of you.

[DroppTheGloves]

Obviously you haven't read our whole conversation. So before you open your mouth get the facts straight!

[kovyhands]

i read enough to see that you're a tweak.

[DroppTheGloves]

And you're a little bitch! Take the hit like a man and shut the FUCK up!

[kovyhands]

i'm a bitch. and you want me to take the hit like a man.

a) what hit?

and b) have we not talked about this creative comeback thing before? stop being a tweak and think through what you say before you say it. you sound like a 12 year old.

[videogamegrandmaster]

why should chara or lucic fight laraque? theyre skill players that would be missed for five minutes, unlike laraque. although thorton fought him and did pretty well

[valiantkyta]

What did we learn about watching our passes, boys and girls?

[BigD22220]

Oh god, that was a clean shot. Kostitsyn just perpetuates the stereotypical European hockey player

[Beginstheman]

Speaking of Bruins fan, he should ask whether Chara or Lucic will have the balls to fight Laraque with all their "toughness" or rather go hiding like pussies.

[SeanOB43]

Chara did fight Laraque last year, granted he got his ass handed to him he still fought him

[chickey84]

correction..he got his ass handed to him TWICE in one game.

[SeanOB43]

you can say that for the second fight cause Laraque was the only one to get a punch in, the first fight wasnt even a fight it was a delay of game penalty because no punchs were thrown

[tommytheboy14]

Crybaby habs fans.... dont burn down the city now either

[Beginstheman]

Shut up, CUNT! I don't know who you're cheering for, but at least we are ready for war if your team messes with us.

[DUONG112]

begin, lmfao...didnt you get kicked out to make space for laraque?

[Dizzer13]

perfectly clean hit, you think its Sauer's duty to fight Lararoque after that? that's ridiculous. It happens, it's hockey, Kostitsyn will be fine. Like the previous posts. Keep your head up.

[Thesp88]

fuck all you guys , that hit was nasty , you guys are just haters cuz you know that montreal is one of THE BEST nhl teams

[Brexdon]

Not just one of the current best teams, but the best team of all-time.

[DroppTheGloves]

No fuck you! Doesn't matter who is better! That hit was good and clean!

[mikeb420420]

KEEP UR HEAD UP!!

[habhater]

faggot got nailed

[mikeb420420]

fuckin rite

[chickey84]

i was at that game..there is no way that hit was clean. They are a trashy team, Kovalev also got the butt of a stick to the face and twice Laraque got grabbed by the face from behind. Sauer is a little girl..he doesnt mind checking a player's face into the boards, but won't man up and take Laraque. That team was an embarassment last night and Gretzky should be ashamed.

[craigb12]

clean hit, keep your head up.

[zakhuff]

He had his hands on his head the entire time, it's obviously not clean.

[willert9]

you guys are all fuckin retarded! the only bitch here is Sauer, fuckin pussy wouldnt drop the gloves with Laraque. he was prolly pissin his pants the lil cunt will get wats comin to him.

[phosphorus13]

His right hand looks shoulder height, his left may be a little high, but you can see it slides up. If anything it was an unintentional bad hit, not a dirty hit.

[69erGoneWrong]

it was clean except his hands were a bit high

[Emnar2]

hands were too high

[phosphorus13]

That was fairly clean, you can't call that dirty.

[masterlp]

the arms were a litlle too high

[firvalley4life]

was a clean hit it he had his head down fuck andrea man did a gud checking job lines man was looknig the whole time so proves it or he wuda been thrown out

[iliketoplaygames]

C'mon! This is not a dirty hit. There were no elbows to the head. He made him pay for coming into the zone, he's a defenceman. He leaned into him and cleaned his clock. It happens all the time. I beg all the "fans" of Montreal, stop complaining and making us look bad here in Montreal. This was a clean hit, and there's no point in whining about everything that doesn't go our way. We won the game, we're at the top of the East, let's be happy about that. This is a clean hit, and that's that!

[anonxforum]

guys guys just get use to it, montreal fans are little bitches that cry over anything if koivu trips over his own feet they think the nearest guy to him should be suspended indefinately this is a clean hit a hit like this is an everyday thing in the west conference they should rename the east conference to the pussy conference... montreal should finish 1st, so its a perfect fit to represent the pussy conference

[chickey84]

you're an idiot. probably a Bruins fan too. there is a difference between a good hard hit that will ring a guy's bell and raising your arms to directly make contact with his face/head.

[Passskal]

looks like an elbow to the head to me...clean hit should be all shoulder

[DroppTheGloves]

Elbow my ass. What are you blind???

[videogamegrandmaster]

its a good hit habs fan, try to be impartial

[icon54]

It was just the pushing his head into the boards I didn't like.

[Joanniie9]

DIRTY HIT !!!

CHEAP SHOT !

He hits him at the head !

[masterfigo]

4-1 anyways... hmm hehehe

[CarolinaHurricanesAl]

Typical Habs fan to call a CLEAN hit dirty...This is as clean as a hit you will see.

[corunguneee]

Neck checks are all the rage in the NHL.

[CarolinaHurricanesAl]

I see a clean shoulder to shoulder check, both feet still on the ice.. Looks pretty clean to me.

[corunguneee]

at what point do both their shoulders meet? It was a good check until he smushes Kostitsyn's face with his forearm on the boards.

[FrankTheTank3388]

He hits him with the shoulder and then pushes out with his arms. If he wanted to make just shoulder to shoulder contact, he'd have to switch positions and put himself off balance which could have possibly injured him or both players and would definately have taken him out of the play.

[CarolinaHurricanesAl]

At 0:02 you see Sauer going for the body. I take it back, it isn't a shoulder-shoulder, but it's definately not a shot to the head. His forearms in in Kos' chest, and he drive him into the boards. It's a clean hit, if it wasn't, it would be reviewed. You got to watch it slowly and closely.

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

It IS being reviewed as we speak. Carbo sent it out to be reviewed. Granted, perhaps it's body, but I would tell you that first off, it's "boarding" (Or chargeing) and second of all, the hands/arms were definately high. No one should body check in the fashion Sauer did!

[CarolinaHurricanesAl]

If it is being reviewed, they won't overturn anything. I disagree, I don't think a call should have been called. It was as clean as a hit you would see come from Phaneuf. Had Kos not get hurt, it wouldn't of been a big deal, but because he did, everyones arms are in the air. I say this, but I am not a Habs fan. Maybe you see something I don't see when it's your own team, but right now, I just see a clean hit, and I don't see his arms near his face. Kos' face is in Kirk's shoulders

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

What I see is Sauer's HANDS in Kostitsyn's neck. What if Staal had been beaten down with a hit like that. I'm convinced you would say the same thing as me... I guess like you say, people see things differently, but I see Sauer Chargeing, maybe even boarding and I definately see his gloves striking Kostitsyn in the neck when he didn't have the puck.

[CarolinaHurricanesAl]

I guess we'll agree to disagree then. By the way, in a previous comment, I just want to let people know I don't have anything against the French or against Canadien fans.

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

I'm happy to see we can have a civilized disagreement without name calling or cheap shots. If I insulted you, I appologize. But ya, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree..

[Bulldogs119]

No sorry, you don't hit a guy high like that. You've probably never played contact hockey before. & you say you don't see his hands around his head then i'm not sure which video you're watching. It's pretty clear.

[CarolinaHurricanesAl]

I have played contact hockey. I played Junior for the Gouverneurs de St-Hubert, that's in Quebec. Open ice hits are clean and apart of the game. He did not punch or throw an elbow, his arms are crossed in his chest, he didn't leave his feet. Kos' face is right in Sauer's shoulder, how did he get elbowed in the face? I'm lost...

[isthisusernameavalib]

this hit isnt dirty its the same as the hit on alfredsson from bell it was a good hit,

[lpmtrl]

I loved the look of grave concern on Sauer's face when Laraque tried to invite him to dance following this dirty hit to the head. Too bad he was too much of a pussy to face the music.

[xoxbisouxox]

TBK !

[578671]

is that wat the "great one" taught coyotes?

[walt4864]

Ha! I love it! Super clean effective hit. Don't like it? Go play in Finland. Finally....a good reason for a Hab to be on his knees. Whats next? Are they going to start chanting for that knuckle dragger Larouque when someone loses an edge and a penalty isn't called? Clean hit and real unlike the poseur WWF acting that Komisarek puts on every night. Oh lay Oh lay Oh lay Oh lay Don't worry you still have Kostopolous.

[tacosupreme13]

Walt4864.... hit to the head is not legal and clean...

plus if you press someone head with your foreamr and elbow... that is also not legit..

no mather if it is not late or not from behind.. i would see this on any other players than a Habs team.. and even if it was Komisarek that did that kind of hit... i would not accept it as well.

Even if Sauer did not do it on purpose.. the arm was high.. and to the head.... lets see what the disciplanary team will say about this after review.

[MostValuablePlaya]

Dude shut the fuck up you dont know shit about hockey you fuckin retard.. This hit wasn't clean at all.. even if sauer is 6'4 he had his forearm way too high. And i dont think you should talk about the canadians you fuqn loser, we have one of the best teams in the NHL and Laraque would knock the shit out of you in half a second. Go fuck yourself you loud mouth leafs fan..

[MostValuablePlaya]

haha you fag, ive seen your videos, no wonder you are so pissed, you're probably still a little 34 year old virgin with your little milf in high heels videos.. You loser, stop watching or even talking about hockey you sad loner.. Go jerk off to your milf in high heels videos instead of trying to talk about something you dont know shit about.. loser

[burstnbloom]

you guys think this is dirty? Really? take off the bleu blanc and rouge glasses.

hey at least he didnt low bridge him like Komisarek does. Karma.

[matricule27060]

If Komisarek doesn't play fair, then he should get calls too. Two negatives doesn't make a positive. And cut the stupid "karma" BS.

Still, I don't think it was an intent to injure, but it shouldn't be tolerated anyhow. Body check rules should be revised to avoid players to get seriously injured as much as possible.

[MostValuablePlaya]

Karma?? Andrei never done such shit and Komisarek keeps it nice and clean. So Karma isn't even a question in this situation. sauer had his forearm super high and smacked andrei's head to the board, cant really call that clean..

[TieClark]

Are you kidding me? Kostitsyn had the dirtiest hit of the year against the leafs on matt stajan, he's lucky stajan didn't break his fricken neck. That hit on kostitsyn was clean 100%. Was not late and he did not punch or elbow him. Keep your head up.

[DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

LOLL "he's lucky he didn't break his fricken neck." HA HA HA HA!! I've seen worst hits than that with no injury or even close. It may have been dirty or illegal, but it wasn't vicious or anything. Stajan was facing the boards when Kosty got there so it's his own fault, right... don't put yourself in a vulnerable position, right?? Fucken Leaf fan, go back to your "losing since the sixties" team and let real fans worry about real hockey! It was a cheap shot and you know it... lol Leaf fans!

[ayrtonsenna75]

That was an awesome hit!!! He just crippled the fucker!! Lol!!!!!

[HTFfan111]

It is a "clean" but it defidently wasn't right. No roughing call either. What a crock of shit!

[recobalegend20]

why does phoenix have a hockey team? kurt sauer what a useless player.

[constpapa]

What a dirty hit from a worthless player...

[mrmontreal1139]

thats the kind of thing that should be taken out of hockey, just a plain cheap shot to the head there. im all for playing the body and keeping the game physical, but theres a fine line and he crossed it there.

[laurenthou]

ya pas une video plus longue ? Jai manquer la game, je jouais aux quilles, m'voyez.. :noel:

GO HABS GO!

[olivurr]

And Doan says it's a clean hit. What a load of shit.

[crx4me]

Dirty Hit ! barnak depuis quand on plaque la tête ?? Bin hate de voir la décision de la ligue...

[theonlyScorpio]

kostitsyn please b ok!!!!!!!!

[Pr0phecy]

Laraque will avenge you Andrei! Stay strong brato!

[rillsamz]

fuck you kurt sauer faguette after you dont go fight versus big george fucking fag eat my ballz phoenix

[xGoPeNsGox]

The NHL needs to suspend that motherfucker!

Get well Andrei!

[templeofdush]

Lets just hope Andrei gets well soon!

[mmx25]

Les Habitants need to shut the hell up. Clean hit. Didn't use the elbow, just pushed him into the boards with his forearms. That's a hockey hit. Grow a pair.

[PattyBoy31]

pushed his HEAD into the boards! had he pushed his shoulders....yes clean, but it was his head dumbass

[oSK74o]

Wow I can't believe people are even arguing that this was a clean hit, what a dirty fuck.

[what2312]

Hope Kostitsyn will be back soon

[MaxChart]

C'était avec l'avant-bras au visage, mais je ne crois pas qu'il avait une réelle intention de blesser.

Wasn't a clean hit, but wasn't a dirty ''Marchement-like'' hit, imo. Sauer should've been givin' a 2 or a 5.

[Taupy]

He could have only pushed him on the board... no... that dirty fucker had to give a blow to the head.
