Darcy Tucker attempts to take out Nick Schultz's knees

[trueguinnessking]

clean hip check, and i am no tucker fan!

@trueguinnessking I think that was called clipping and it was a good call.

Why would Tucker do this to one of the cleanest players in the NHL? Maybe he should have tried this to a player who wouldn't take this kind of hit so likely, like Boogaard or Clutterbuck.

Tucker is a pussy

Im from Toronto and used to like Tucker....after seeing that I lost all respect for him....He's just bitter because he got bought out of his contract and he loved being a leaf....I guess I'd be frustrated after having my dreams crushed too....Cockmuncher

[16tucks]

how could you lose all respect for him? it wasn't even that bad of a hit. And, do you blame him for being bitter? He has a lousy seaosn due to injury and he gets baught out from a place he's called home for over 8 years. So, think about it from Tucker's point of view.

How can you not 16tucks? He told him b4 this play he was gunna take out his knees. If you respect a guy who is intentionally trying to injure a guy then your retarded and this aint the first time hes done that you idiot.

Tucker has had a history of being cheap however, especially when aiming for the knees. Like nailing Peca in the knees after he was out of the play with the same intent... You could tell he was going low. Hip checks generally hit between the upper thigh and the hip. If his hit had been on target, he would have hit directly above the knee, and that folks is how careers are ended.

the hit is correct, but if tucker talk that shit, i'm really sorry, cause i was a fan from him.

Correction: Tucker is alleged to have told Schulz this -- nobody has said this but Schultz. The NHL investigated the claim and found no reason to suspend or otherwise discipline. The video shows a hip check. Nothing more.

[vedano75]

A hit? Trucker told Schultz he would take out his knees and then this is called a hit?

[dk61]

nothing wrong with that hit.

@dk61 I think that was called clipping and it was a good call.
