Niklas Kronwall Hits

[kaputa814]

people need to actually watch or be knowledgeable about the game and his hits if they want to bitch about them. most are clean hits on jackasses that continue to play with their head down, and very seldom does he leave his feet before there is contact.

[Neriyae]

Kronwall is a beast, but so enjoyable to watch.

[royfan3035]

Everyone loved it when Stevens threw nearly identical hits. Why is it so wrong for Kronwall to do the same?

[judopuns]

I don't think he's been called for charging more than like 4 times a season, since I've never seen him get called for charging, if he's leaving his feet, it's after contact i'd say since the refs think so too, so quit whining

[dchockeygoali07]

kronwall is garbage, those hits are pathetic. since when does charging 8/10 times earn you comparisons to scott stevens?

[Kartkid024]

Kronwall doesn't jump, he just gets taller.

[dchockeygoali07]

...fail

[Kartkid024]

Kronwall's defensive game summed up in one word.

[slaughterer01]

WOW, after watching that I only saw 2-3 hits where he didn't leave his feet well hitting his opponent. Why has he not been suspended for these yet, the NHL should seriously do something about when a player leaves there feet to hit another player and give them a BIG suspension for it.

[darkphoenix2]

It's hard to tell when he does, some of these it just looks like it because he's in the air after the hit

[machineunit]

@slaughterer01 you're blind.

[cindycrosby]

if the refs dont call it its not a penalty

[seanmg]

And sometimes when they do call it--it's not a penalty.

[mirzayanov]

I'm just wondering, what would happen if you kept your head down while skating with the puck with your head down right near kronwall or cleary and what would it feel like?

[FloridaGators022]

knonwall is amazing, except for that one time he scored on himself, but we still won the stanley cup

[dandandamattressman]

lol ya...but if you watch that again you see that kronwall actually was trying to clear it into the corner, but it gets deflected into the net off of halls skate.

[GretzkyJr]

He jumps all the time? :S

[slapshot6819]

I'm not going to say all the time, but MOST of the time, he leaves the ice after he makes contact with the other player, which not only is legal, but is how you are supposed to hit. You explode upward.

[duchaneaux]

Not to mention it's effective for him because of his size. He only weighs like 185 lbs, if he was much heavier he wouldn't have to explode up as much.

[Dougwitt922]

and for all the people who say he leaves his feet before he hits someone it wrong he leaves his feet after he hits them because of all of his momentum

[blamy10]

Ditto Dougwitt. His teammates wouldn't be talking about highlight hits if he was leaving his feet. Kronner's a hard hitter. Everybody leaves their feet during one of his crunches.

[gotyouoncamera]

haha thats funny cause last time i checked...if you leave your feet when you hit....thats called charging which is a penalty..and not legal and not what your supposed to do. if you want to see what a real hit is supposed to look like..just look up so old lindross videos or something. Theres aton more you can look at too.
