Weller boards Nash, punches Tollefsen Feb 7, 2008

[qRISpirit]

irgenwölche villacher hier? :D

[closedeyz]

Game misconduct!?! he was defending himself after two clean hits (OLD NLH) the punch was well deserved. If he wouldnt have skated over there to start something, his face wouldnt have had a date with the ice.

[flugan7]

thats what I call a HATTRICK!!

[SJSHARKSFINATIC]

hahaha whos yo daddy dayummm lol

[newtown2006]

weller is now playing for villach in austria, love to see him on ice

[milkybarkidrulez]

@newtown2006 ye we are going to miss him at cardiff devils

[TronCat01]

these announcers are fucking gay.

[ant16rst]

Gotta love weller! he has run the elite league this year and was unfortunate not to take any silverware at the end.

[BRBBOWFLEXINL4D]

The puck hadnt even touched Nash. Still a sweet combo by weller.

[tedindahouse]

tollefsen already had his hands up thats not craig weller taking him by suprise

[Teolo11]

hat trick :P

[ResQ198]

They were still pissed from when Nash owned their asses with the goal of the year just weeks earlier

[weeman1580]

haha he punked 3 guys in a row

[Decnent]

Hahaha... classic.

[AirRaider56]

And this is right in the beginning of the game?!?! DAMN! i wanna see the rest of this game!

[Snakemind]

awesome Weller plays for us now the Devils, and he is awesome... nice to see he can punch too, haven't seen him fight yet!!!!

[cinciDAWGS12]

Boom goes the dynamite! OWNED!

[robthecrusher]

hhhahahahahahaha!!!!!!! see you on the 14th!!!! reeeeeeeeed arrrrrrrrmy!!!!!!

[ant16rst]

cant wait for him 2 start fuckin people up 4 the mighty cardiff devils!

[tedindahouse]

hey random but is weller any good he just signed for my local ice hockey team how much would you say he is worth?

[PurePwnAlkelaby]

@tedindahouse Cardiff devils right?:P!

[mrgloop53]

@tedindahouse £1.2 million

[Chead09]

Weller has just signed for the Cardiff Devils. Can't wait to see him in action

[harwicke]

Clean hit.....one man wrecking crew. Hellava shift.

[pucksupport28]

@harwicke That wasn't a clean hit....that was boarding. It wasn't anything major but it was. Nash is a big boy and he can take it. It wasn't a militious hit, everyone just overreacted and got what they deserved.

[harwicke]

@pucksupport28 Totally clean hit, all shoulder, Never left his feet, only took 1 stride to reach him. Nash had the puck at his feet. He went into the board hard...That's hockey.

[GriffinsLax9]

that was epic.

[midwestblues]

Weller must have been getting tips from Tootoo!

[WFR]

5 seconds and he slayed 3 players, thats fuckin awesome don't care if any of it was against the rules :D

[TrustYourOwnInstinct]

Beautiful. Thank you, mr. Weller.

[348348979490570894]

haha thats my cousin.

[himoson]

Holy Hell he got his block knocked off

[lovham89]

the red stupid shulld kick him in wall

[ebhornnn]

That was AWESOME

[MrLilja]

Lol, Phoenix, what a joke

[Norway01]

Ofcourse that faggot wouldnt fight a Norwegian face to face.

Fuck that punk.

Toll will bring out the Viking on his french ass.

[KoivuSquared]

Old time hockey

[inasafeplace]

Tolefsen just had not to go after him... his fault.

[jakesnakex]

That cheapshot artist deserved it. All elbows and knees, plus this bitch only fights guys that don't fight. Very European.

[jakesnakex]

He had to punch Tollefsen early. He could feel that cheapshot artists elobow or knees coming. Why does Tollefsen only fight guys who don't fight.

[collectivegooblossom]

That wasn't even close to a board.

[monster1234five]

nash i s a lil b!tch

[carboN1H]

nash insnt a lil b!tch LOL. 6'4 230lbs

Just dumb.

[blackman4550]

wow what a pussy boards a player hit another that wasnt bad but then just throwing a dirty punch that part is bullshit. if you go after the teams star player you better be ready to fight. not pussy out

[staycoldrod]

haha lights out, craig weller is awesome.

[thinkingjack]

i was there, best haymaker weller threw, fuck tollefsen

[StarJekker]

One guy got in his way, and the other 2 charged at him... what's he supposed to do??

[kennethferrell]

Does this announcer know ANYTHING about hockey? He wanted Weller to get a game for punching a guy who was charging at him? He was coming to fight Weller and Weller just threw a defensive punch. Tollefson went on the DL after this.

[TrustYourOwnInstinct]

Hockey commentators are such pussies, sad little drama queens. Double-standard fakes.

They absolutely love it when something like this happens - and yet they spew that pathetic politically-correct puke about how this doesn´t belong in hockey.

Put on a dress, you girls.

I´d love to see Ann Coulter as a hockey commentator. She´s got balls twice the size these sissies.

[countrykid2]

thats what needs to happen, you make a big hit whip your gloves off and punch the guy comeing at you, thats how you play in the nhl now.

[azn91294]

that was so bad ass i remember watchin it

[collectivegooblossom]

That wasn't a board. Sure Nash's face hit the boards, but his shoulders weren't square. I've seen a couple of videos starring Craig Weller, and all of them involve him pulverizing someone. What a beast that guy is.

[njdevils17]

that's an mvp shift!

[bill7gus]

True Tollefson was gonna do the same thing that weller did, weller wasnt gonna let him get a free shot.

[Huskermania101]

Agreed with HiHat77! Tollefson was coming to rock him, Weller just got him first.

dude is a bad A** ... took out 2 guys that were coming after him after the Nash hit and never went down.  Sign him up for my team.

[Josh218512]

I hope the B's have this guy dressed this Wednesday night. I have tickets to that game.

[stevenhida]

That was an elbow?....yeeeaaahh sure.

[HiHat77]

Tolefson came after weller. he rocked him. fuck this announcer. bitch.

[Metallica1922]

Game misconduct my ass. If your going to come charging at a guy like that you better expect to get nocked the fuck out. I personally didnt see anything wrong with any of that. But then im a hockey fan, not a figure skating fan.

[dieterkurtenbach]

This dude is nasty- Kobasew who?

[SitDown314]

haha yah boston!

[chryspen]

That was fking hilarious, he took out all 3 guys with 3 disabling hits, that was actually incredible in my book. I think Tollefson will think twice before stepping to that guy! Just incredible, lol

[darrenmacgregor]

Weller is sick wicked nasty. enjoy him in boston! and enjoy our 2 first rounders next draft :( :(

[vince4164]

hahaha, welcome to the B's buddy! He should fit in just fiiiine.

[NamelessFaceless97]

Well after doing some YouTube'ing, I'm excited to see this guy in Boston!

[cehamlet89]

was this the game where nash had that nice game winning goal?

[officialaftershock]

That guy is a machine! Nails three guys in a span of about 7 seconds. Beast.

And the hit was clean. Shouldn't have been looking the opposite direction, much as I like Nash.

[Junior6919]

Wow that was some sweet shit. People who say those were chep shots are kidding yourselves. That was a nice check on nash into the boards, the puck was right there, then drills that other then 1 shots the guy b4 he has a chance to try to hit him lol

[mikemckinnon12]

why is this cheap its not like the guy was coming to give him a hug he knew he was coming to fuck him up so he beat him the the punch. pardon the pun

[georgemrns08]

Shove him, dont sucker punch him. Theres a thing called a fighters' code in the NHL. Wait to punch until he decides its a good idea to drop the gloves with you. Then punch away.

[nixons07]

this happened on my b day

[kickboxingmadness12]

hey shut up im at his hockey camp right now

[hordichuck]

cheap prick, knew he'd get ruined by tollefsen

[anup8]

OWNED!!!

[juggHERnutt]

i dont realy care for phenix but that was a good hit by weller

[hockeyrules197]

@juggHERnutt wow your dumb if you think that was a good hit

[reaper3039]

hey to wild players in one highlight on different teams (Weller and Fritsche)

[reaper3039]

holy SHIT!!!! Weller is a BEAST!!!!!  He fucking owned tollefsen

[bryan1282]

weller is an animal!!!!!

[freaknastyevil]

I hate the blue jackets this make me happy

GO WINGS

[Box151]

Isn't Detroit a wasteland yet? Worse part of Michigan. Serious.. for a team that has won 4 cups since 79 can find a better place for an arena.

THIS ME ME HAPPY.. Ford called you got your job back.

[Mike081178]

What does a team's city have to do with what freaknastyevil said??? Columbus blows...THIS MAKES ME HAPPY.

[ibeatthrghthefrndflm]

hahaha weller messed them all up

[miki9017]

lcuky shit haha xD

[cbakes17]

Bad Ass all i gotta say!

[Schlomo11]

Self Defense!

[mmx25]

CBJ announcers are fucking awful. What homers. Tollefson was throwing off his gloves and coming at Weller. What do you expect? Fritsche just tried to take his ass out, so id do the same thing in this context. Hitch even made fun of Tollefson after the game for it. CBJ have awful announcers. Hopefully the fans there know better and havent been brainwashed by these morons.

[larsen550]

Tollefson had his gloves on, I am not so sure about the hit, looked ok to me. So this was for nothing. The punch was just out of line though.

[bryhod11]

i dunno man i think it was self deffence nice clean hit then gets the guy comeing for him really

[slaughterer01]

Really, self-defense, then I guess when Tootoo suckered Robidas you would call that self-defense as well.

[stevieray351]

give nash credit not many guys would get up so fast after that hit, hes tougher than i thought

[miteybushrocks]

OWNAGE RIGHTS!

[Galenlars]

How many Combus blue jackets players is needed to take one Weller down?

Answer: nobody knows. but more than three

[stevejmoffett]

everyone board the weller bitch-train

[chiefdef]

yeah but you dont cold cock a guy like that when he still has his gloves on. grab him and then slug him oncde he drops his mitts. only brashear that goon does gutless shit like this

[tarndeep89]

fcked all 3 of them up

[Blizzardous1]

Agree.

[tfultzzz]

wat a beauty

[anup8]

OWNED!!!

[TEMBYJNR2002]

That was great. Definately on the highlight reel.

[ThomasanderOvechkin]

that hit was from behind

[josh17beaton]

hahaha i dont even know who weller is, but that was awesome and hilarious

[Goaliemon68]

ya dude .. that was sick as hell!

[rjlawera]

get wrecked

[jkrx]

weller never goes cleanly.. he always punches before the other guy knows what happened.. he did the same thing to Tootoo (even though he deserved it)... He's a cheapshot artist.

[forsbergfan21]

Tollefsons fault for charging in with his chin out. Of course your gonna punch someone coming after you like that, Tolle should have been expecting a punch.

[stlathletico23]

No shit that announcer sucks at his job

[barrett000007]

Wow, that is the most badass thing ive seen in awhile

[jmichael7753]

wow i work for the Coyotes and I never saw the hit on tv before. Clean hit shoulder to shoulder, Nash wasnt facing the boards or anything. What was Weller supposed to do get jumped by the guy skating full force at him. Great punch.

[hewanit18]

weller nailed nash and then he smoked the other colombus blow job....then KO's tellefsen...wicked

[LILSTEBS24]

yo weller is mad tough

[cbeck3513]

Ohhhhh that's right, I forgot about that new rule in hockey. The one that if you don't mean to commit a penalty you don't get it. Like every time your stick gets caught in someone else's skates on accident, there's no call, right?. Is that why it shouldn't be a boarding penalty? That makes perfect sense...

[renders93]

but im saying you can't control yourself if somebody does something completely unexpected. and yeah your completely right about that, and that is why there are people called referees. Maybe it is just a new thing that came out, but their job is to look out for the clean stuff and the fouls.

[997GT378]

No penalty, nash should no better than to put his head down, its rule number one when you start playing a contact sport.

[WildaretheBest]

Damn, that was a great hit! And then with the knockout punch

[997GT378]

perfectly clean, shoulder to shoulder, typical jackets bitch hockey.

[cbeck3513]

Anyone that thinks the first hit was clean must not know what the game of hockey is. That's dirty hockey, the only kind Phoenix knows how to play since they can't win the way the game's supposed to be played.

[LittleTortillaBoy34]

clean hit retard

[cbeck3513]

You clearly don't know hockey.

[LittleTortillaBoy34]

no, i dont know hockey, just been playing for 11 years

[cbeck3513]

Apparently not. And if you're trying to use how long you've been playing hockey as your basis for knowledge - I've been playing for 14. I like some of the players on Phoenix, but that was a dirty ass hit. You can't hit someone if they turn away from you.

[LittleTortillaBoy34]

i just think it was a clean hit gone bad. i think nash just turned and fell into the boards awkwardly

[997GT378]

shoulder to shoulder, great hit

[renders93]

how is Weller supposed to react in the time that Nash turns the other way? it just isn't possible. it look clean, all he used was his shoulder to perform the hit.

and man was that a hit!

[BJEJT]

true that it was a clean hit not boarding and tollefsen desirved it it was gunna "try" 2 beat wellers ass so tollefsen would have ended up like that anyway

[emrota]

Tollefson was coming for Weller, I woulda hit his ass first too.

[StarJekker]

At least Weller took his glove off before he punched

[eneilio]

out-fucking-standing. whether you think any of those hits were cheap or not that was downright impressive.

[penaltyaddict]

holy fuck weller is a tank!

[Coolskatestar9]

He shouldn't be ejected...Rolo would have hit him if he hadn't one punched him

[feeeeelin]

if he would go against boogaard he would get knocked out, simple as dat

[OpRedDawn]

good thing they're on the same team

[illicitstill]

That is one tough customer.

[baaman00]

The first two hits were clean, the punch on Tollefsen was cheap, but still badass. It's not as if Tollefsen was skating over to talk to him; Weller just beat him to the punch...literally.

[DC2600]

What terrible announcers, nearly as homer as the Ducks announcers. And this is coming from a Flyers fan. "THAT SHOULD BE A GAME SUSPENSION" what a joke.

[gdavies4]

how r they homers he cheapshotted tollefson...as well as boarding nash !

and this is coming from a yotes fan x

[gdavies4]

he said game misconduct

[metalmulishaMTX]

wow what a cheap shot, tollefsen woulda kicked his ass if they got the gloves off

[tkidu]

lol I highly doubt that

[PwnageXtreme]

Omg thats not hockey!!! Weller is a frgn pussy, he could wait to Tollefsen drops the gloves and start fighting, tollefsen would kick hes ass, and he knewed it so he just nailed him before he could get to him, omg fuck weller, what a pussy

[lacore1988]

now hes on the same line as derek boogaard.. beware.

[312868540]

these commnts are SO much fun 2 read.

18.F here qo

[Mistamoe7]

wow i cant get over that destroy 3 guys in 7 seconds....Thats the best hockey clip iv ever seen WOW

[baaman00]

What a badass! So glad to have him here in Minnesota!

[Zeebrah123]

That was really nice!

[morgslmorgsl]

can someone explain to me how weller hit tollefson 'before he even gets to him'...

it doesnt make any sense

serious charge being taken there by weller

he schooled columbus on taking charge

[gun4hire]

Wow what a beast

[tmacfan16]

wow he kicked all three of there asses ahaha

[korko3]

that was a great shot, don't skate over for a fight unless your ready for it.

[Au7punker]

Real talk

[manuelproandprobiker]

hes going to do a fucken good job on the wild

[dwildhockey24b]

Woah. welcome to the wild!

[kennern90]

Tollefsen have trained all the summer.. and he's stronger now for NHL

[spongedom96]

hockeys gr8 i watch it alot but theres no need for shit like that where he cheap shots two guys in less than 6 seconds

[JWild333]

What did Tollefsen expect. He fights more than enough to know that he should have been more prepared when going in to challenge Weller. Nice job and well done on Weller's part.

[ricktheman95]

one dirty? you charge me? you'd get knocked out too!

[limsniff]

2 clean hits, one dirty.

[dlux85]

that dude is an og on skates. 3 down in 3 seconds, whos next?

[suckballs4822]

thoes announcers are gay, weller is the shit and im pumped the wild got him

[Wolfesota]

I can't wait to see him in a Wild Uniform.

[348348979490570894]

CRaig Weller's my cousin!

[forthecircus]

Yet another inane, homophobic reply that fails to address the issue at hand. Color me impressed.

[bigjoe686659]

He knocks nash over, he knocks Fritsche down and knocks Tollefson out... Shear domination. Totally classless but a lot of fun to watch.

[mmx25]

classless? Son that's hockey. The Jackets have only themselves to blame for being so soft on this play. Tollefson learned his lesson, as did Nash. Fristche was just humorous. The Jackets need to get some new announcers, because they're programming their fans to be idiots, judging by this clip. Please get a more objective, knowledgeable pairing.

[forthecircus]

Do you need me to paste a definition of the term "buttress"? It might kickstart your journey into literacy.

[forthecircus]

Way to buttress my point.

[joeydevil666]

Oh,you got him there. I would agree that no one that I know would ever use the word "butress". Even the ones(like me)who know exactly what it means.

[forthecircus]

This has nothing to do with the game of hockey being rough. It has to do with distinguishing the acceptable from the unacceptable. You'd think a purported well-spoken individual would be able to grasp such a simple concept instead of resorting to petty insults.

[forthecircus]

Because clean hockey is pacifist, right? Leave your shoddy attempt at nationalism out of your already tenuous argument next time.

[forthecircus]

Not being fond of cheap shots = homosexuality. You sir are brilliant.

[forthecircus]

If by purist you mean one who doesn't enjoy the sight of sucker punches, then yes absolutely.

Where hypothetically seeking me out is concerned, the sinbin would welcome you with open arms.

[GoreHound18]

Weller with the no goal hat trick!

[forthecircus]

Considering the fact that you support sucker punches/general cowardice, I'll pass.

As for the upcoming election, I won't be voting for anyone seeing as I'm Canadian. Try again.

[forthecircus]

The steps = sucker punches? Sweet.

[forthecircus]

No. He's certainly not supposed to deliver a glove on blow to the face either.

[wiley420]

agreed and tollefsen got knocked the fuck out

[nixons07]

thats some toughness
