and leaf fans cry about neil picking on schenn. Is this not the same thing? Props to dacosta for getting right up. This kid is going to be amazing, unlike kadri who has been a buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssst.
@ALPHADOG3 This was a clean hit during the game you dumbass, Phaneuf was going to hit that person regardless of who he was, he had his head down. Neil on the other hand specifically went after a player who doesn't fight. Speaks volumes about the Sens organization as a whole. Enjoy the bottom of the league.
@KittyKranker im 16 years old and play AA and we dont even fight after big clean hits. unless the guy who got hit gets pissed but no teammates will step in on a clean hit. its just a big hit, and the play continues, the guy gets up and its all good.
Being a Devils fan, I gotta love this hit...just like my boy Scott Stevens. 100% clean, anyone who disagrees obviously had a player on their favorite team injured by a hit like that.
This is what is wrong with the NHL. Guy throw a perfectly legal hit and then they have to fight afterwards, BUT a cheapshot artist like Cooke can head shot a player and anyone going after him will get an instigator penalty...tossed from the game and likely a suspension. Let the players look after conduct in the game Bettman.
Clean hit , but obviously the Sens players are gonna stand up Phaneuf, it's DaCosta's second fucking NHL game, his teammates need to show him that he has support. If it was a veteran who got hit then yeah I agree the scrum after the hit is stupid. - From a Sens fan, js.
@TheNorthside613 If they truly cared about the guy, they would of just yelled at him to get back up and keep your head up next time, he needs to learn...no need for stupid fights after a clean hit dude.
Tough kid, about time the sens grew some, konopka and da costa are what the shit heads need to actually be something other than beauty pageant also-rans in the playoffs. (Losing to the Canucks in the glamor category).
lol when i was watching this i was like Ohh, i felt sorry for that senator cuz hes soo fackin inexperienced that he had to cut through the middle like that even with his head down :/ omg phaneuf on da costa should be illegal ;) jk
Actually I do, and I played it my whole life. Yes I agree that you do protect your teammate, but if that play would have continued you would have seen that the other leafs dman would have been lined up for a hit when he picked up the puck. Why not make a big hit then?
DaCosta did say to his teammates that the hit was his fault for not looking up at who was on the ice... phaneuf is going to run over ANYONE that has there head down coming in to there end. go leafs go
How did they protect him? A couple gloves in the face? I bet the rook was so relieved. "hey Rook! Don't worry we got him for ya. He won't mess with you again. I rubbed my glove in his face, that'll teach him" Why not wait and hit him cleanly back? Or drop the mitts later? So everytime you make a good hit there's going to be 2-3 idiots trying to be tough?
Of course he's going to hit him that hard. Did you just ask if it was "unnecessary" to hit him that hard? Thats what Dion gets paid to do, defend his end. If your going to come across the middle like that then expect to get creamed. If you don't like it go to Europe to play. So is Ray Lewis suppose to let up on a receiver that comes across the middle because it's only his Second game?
To protect their rookies you idiots...you never let a guy get hit that hard and just leave him. It was his 2nd NHL game and yes it was a clean hit, but was it neccessary to hit him that hard? It was veterans protecting their rookie...so quit whining.
Rookies don't need special treatment on the ice. With so much attention on suspensions and head shots, its good to see big hits still in the game The hit was clean and a perfect example of what the league wants, good contact without the joints or head being targeted.
You're the only one whining here. Shouldn't have hit him that hard? Just out of curiosity, what do you have in the place where your balls should be? I suggest you look into knitting, it's right up your alley
@IxIKranneIxI If he's in the NHL he's going to have to be able to take hits like that. These are the best guys at the sport in the world, and that includes body checking. This is exactly what the league wants, good hard clean hits. Theres enough of this bull of players trying to stand up for a teammate after a clean hit, hit them back later to get them back, there's no need to try to start a fight.. he got hit clean get over it
Clean hit, but apparently it da Costa having his head down is grounds for stopping play so that Foligno and the clown can pretend they would actually fight Phaneuf.
This is where "self-policing" the game goes too far. I am all for fighting and all about enforcers keeping the game safe but I hate when play is disrupted after a clean solid hit is delivered. I agree enforcers should punish players who are getting carried away with dirty hits, getting their sticks high, etc.
@Zenkka because they want to intimidate the guy who hit their teammate and make him think again before wrecking somebody. clean or not (and this was totally clean) i would go after phaneuf just to prove a point even though it was ok
@MrDaner01 no because in real life the law says that such act is wrong and should be disciplined. In hockey there are also rules and this hit isn't against any of'em so there's no reason to attack a guy.
