I think that whenever a hit is intentional AND puts a player out for awhile. I think the player who hit him should be out for as long as the injured player, not just in hockey but in ALL sports.
I always try to be sportsmanlike but I can't on this hit. Fuck Kostopulos. What a mother fucker. Look at his follow through. Hands and stick up in the air. Intent to injure. Fucker should be out for as long as it takes Stuart to heal. What a pile of shit. I lost all respect for him as a player.
13Xanadu Too true, remember when Tocchet went after Wendel Clark for a great hit on Mark Howe in about '88 or so. This may the first time I remember a good hit forcing the guy throwing the hit to fight. A nice, clean open ice hit does draw more of a response than these blindsiders!!!! The Red Wing players on the ice should truely be ashamed of theirselves.
I just love how every time there is a brutal hit in the NHL all of the macho tough guys say that it is the injured player's fault for getting hit. Then they bring up the fact that they learned to keep their head up in minor hockey. Listen idiots, these guys are supposedly the best of the best. Even they get caught blindsided so it is not the injured players "fault". The NHL has a problem with concussions and they are trying to do something about it. If they don't, players careers are done.
Remeber in 2008 when he drilled Leaf's Mike Van Ryn from behind and ended his career. Broken hand, broken jaw, lost teeth, concussion, what a gutless player. Look up that hit on Youtube under Mike Van Ryn and see for yourself. He has history of crap like this, but in Bettman's NHL this is OK, it is fighting that is bad. More people hurt with hits like this now than before when they had to answer the bell for their cheap shots. It hurts to see what the league has become now.
Whatever, I learned how to keep my head up when I was 6 playing Hockey. If stuart was not hurt it would be no big deal and that hit happens quite a bit with no injuries. THIS IS HOCKEY!!! NOT BASEBALL!!!
you all need to get your eyes checked that was a great clean hit ,stuart had just swatted the puck and hit iginla with it and no later than one second tk knocked him out! btw they were not booing the injury they were booing the non hooking call and the roughing penalty calgary got .see #21 hook iginla before stuart got himself back into the play after watching jokinen use him as a revolving door? Is the way kronwall leaves his feet when he hits" classy" ? watch the video again idiots.
@kokanee2010a obviously he was tryin to hit his head, why would u have ur arm up an plus when he followed through u could see his elbow come up. so watch the vid a couple more times b4 u post something so rediculous.
@kokanee2010a Sorry, dumbass, but you're the one who needs to get your eyes checked. Actually, you should probably get to a doctor as soon as possible because you apparently can't see anything that is 3 feet in front of you. Kostopoulos wasn't going for the puck at all, he had his crosshairs on Stuart, and got him right in the head. It doesn't matter if it happened a second after he tried to shoot the puck away, he hit him in the head. There's nothing more to say.
Stay classy, Calgary. How does that ONE Stanley Cup from two decades ago taste? It's acts like this that just goes to show how far away some teams are from winning another championship. They came close in 2004, but couldn't beat the LIGHTNING. Of all teams, the TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING!!!
i wont be surprised if the league lacks the balls to suspend this prick. they didnt do it earlier this year when franzen took aand elbow to face against dallas
