Phaneuf hits on Kopecky

[BrindleChase]

very, very, very dirty hit. Phanuef doing his best Cooke or Downie imitation here.

[le4a7]

Nice Hit!

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

PHANEUF IS THE CAPTAIN OF THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS= CANADA'S TEAM

[kaulitzforlife]

@SOLIDSNAKEXXX360 no shit

[DzekoSucks]

agreed with the commentator, he didnt have to finish that but thats nothing more than 2 minute minor for boarding

[santahchrist]

meathead move by phaneuf



[jimih64]

Really? Crushing a kneeling man's head against the boards with the center of your body mass?

How in the world does anyone defend this piece of shit?

[DzekoSucks]

that shouldve been a penalty not a suspension tho

[downeyfan20]

one word: unnecessary

[AnalDan]

nice title,

I hope Dion got Kopecky's phone number at least!

[8kcht3]

I hate the Detroit comentators, if anything clean happens like a hit they always complain about like little bitches. Fuck Detroit

[chriskoch2424]

@8kcht3 no not at all

[redwingz1998]

@8kcht3 how is that clean?

[8kcht3]

@8kcht3 never said it was clean. Just saying i dont like the Detroit Commentators

[maymunaxxx]

@8kcht3 really? They didnt say anything about that being an illegal hit, they said he did not have to finish that check because he was in a dangerous position. Stop hating detroit because they have been the best team for the past 20 years

[8kcht3]

@maymunaxxx Im not hating Detroit, Im hating the commentators. People on youtube are so fucking stupid.

[maymunaxxx]

@8kcht3 I'm the stupid one? Like I said they did not say the hit was illegal. They said it was unnecessary, which it was. People like should comment on a sport they do not understand. 

[8kcht3]

@maymunaxxx Yes you are the stupid one " People like should comment on a sport they do not understand. Makes sense. You obviously don't understand what Im saying, I guess it would be better if I said the Detroit commentators are completely biased.

[maymunaxxx]

@8kcht3 See there you going calling me stupid. I don't understand how they are biased based on this video. they never said that the hit was illegal and there should have been a penalty. do you have ears? im pretty sure or you would be complaining about the commentators being so bad. Its people like you who do not understand what other people say. You live in your own little world and believe what your daddy or mommy says. Probably a Pitt fan living in the crosby world.

[8kcht3]

@maymunaxxx Calling me a Pitt fan, taking it over the line a bit. Fuck the pens more than Detroit. Im not saying that they're biased on this video, just most games that i've watched.

[maymunaxxx]

@8kcht3 Every announcer is biased. There is not one announcer that is not biased. Last night vs the sharks the sharks took a penalty and Detroits commentators said that it was a bad call and shouldnt be a penalty. they complain both ways more than any other announcer i have heard. They believe that the refs dont let the players play, and they decide too many games. Now if you have watched any playoffs the past few years there is no way you could disagree with that statement.

[8kcht3]

@maymunaxxx Thats true. Lets agree on one more thing, Sidney Crosby is a little bitch.

[maymunaxxx]

@8kcht3 Agreed

[nurple12]

quick finish him off! with you rear end!

[guitarplyer86]

dont get me wrong i love phaneuf i think hes amazing but no need to finish that hit from behind just dirty

[greig747]

thats nothin to be proud of

[A360freak]

If you look he tried to slow himself at the end...

[chriskoch2424]

@A360freak no

[jimih64]

@A360freak Are you blind? He threw his weight into Kopecky's face, you fucking dolt.

[Omniswell]

if this was the old wings Phaneuf would be in at least 4 years of fights with the wings.

[abahawas]

holy fuck that was hard and dirty

[vikingkillah]

he was going for a hit kopy fell nothing he could do

[chriskoch2424]

@vikingkillah he could not hit him the second time?

[vikingkillah]

@chriskoch2424 ya your right after watching it again

[sofakingrate]

Phaneuf sucks, simple enough?

[saskLS1]

@sofakingrate Yes, simple. Simply False.

[ThrustMuscle]

alot of phaneufs hits look very questionable...

[IrishHeroMan]

Ouch. That's a penalty.

[chauddhryman]

prime example of lack of respect in the NHL, hitting a guy that hard when he's in an extremely vulnerable position is pretty disgusting

[detroitsucks19]

yeah phaneuf is a bitch.. bring that shit around chicago and ur getting ur ass beat.. cant believe no one jumped his ass

[canucklehead70]

IT"S A DOUBLE DION!

[stefanino6]

Yes this could be considered dirty... Nonetheless DOUBLE DION! haha fuck the leafs haters

[Maganyos]

The more I see these vids about Phaneufs tackles the more I'm convinced he doesn't have clean hits.

[anthonychrisbradley]

@Maganyos Look at his hits againts Hudler, Hamel, Nolan, Boogard, Okposo, All great hard clean hits.

[rachelx1129]

fuckkk. 

[bishoppx]

Cheap as fuck. At least the fans showed class and didn't cheer for it.

[27bobbyk]

That was not very nice!

[Fifa09Wii]

that wasnt necessary

[360GameplayGuide]

i like dion but that seamed dirty from behind and i love how not a single player from detroit doesn't even think about defending there teammate

[jimih64]

So fucking dirty. Phaneuf is such a piece of garbage.

[Ovechkin50g]

LOL

[aliiballer]

it was dirty but sorta unintentional .... so iGuess its not dirty then .... idk lol .... i dnt think its dirty tho

[Philzup]

CLEAN ??? U guys are retarded thats cheap shot

[Atreyu1611]

you want to see cheap shot look at Kopecky in the AHL hitting a guy from behind to the head, he cheapshotted Carle from Hamilton..phaneuf should have broken hit neck and given him a huge open ice hit, red wings are full of little bitches

[rashock12]

@Atreyu1611 that doesn't change the fact that this was a cheap hit. go cry somewhere else.

[Atreyu1611]

@rashock12 he pushed him first and Kepecky fell like a little bitch and it looked like Phaneuf was already to far in motion to stop thats why he turned his back and didn't throw his weight in it...and clearly you're the idiot crying over nothing you moron...you're complaining about a cheap shot and crying about nothing, it's called hockey this shit happens all the time, maybe if the red wings could stay on their feet he would be fine

[rashock12]

@Atreyu1611 Phaneuf could have easily bailed out of that.. have you ever played hockey? Phaneuf is a veteran he surely knows how to slow down and skate one foot to the right so he doesn't bash Kopy's head into the boards.

[thecanuck1234567]

@rashock12 Veteran, he is 24 not 34 hardly a Veteran, he is just entering his prime, get ready for more HUGE hits from number 3 and Captain Leaf, fuckers

[Zyre1]

Phaneuf's a boss.

[airsoftx21]

Anbody smell a cheapshot?

[KaosDragonLOC]

Yeah, was their a penalty called on that one do you know?

[SCman1337]

Dirty second hit, Phaneuf could have easily spun the other way and avoided the collision.

[BlazedBud420]

I would call the initial contact clean.. the second one wasn't really avoidable though, not clean, but he had too much momentum to stop... what can ya do?

[BlazedBud420]

@BlazedBud420

nevermind i take that back... he could have stopped after he went down... dirty hit should have been suspended.

[TheWalkingFail]

clean

[ilovesoup12]

Double pwn.

[Farmville562]

CLEAN!

[Calligen]

Phaneuf is motherfucker.

[Hamburgler55]

'Atta boy Dion!

[preception91]

did kopecky have facial reconstruction done after this hit or was it another hit he took?

[Mrsports991]

cool

[TheFlighter]

gay

[wingsfan28]

shot to the head??? thats suspendable!!

But, noo cause GARY BETMAN IS A FUCKING DUMB SHIT!! thats why he lets ovechkin make 3 solid cheap shots be fore he gives him 1 game, only 1

[judopuns]

If kopecky stayed on the ice until a whistle was called, Phaneuf probably would've been suspended, but yeah, since he just got up with a face injury it looks like and went to the bench, they didn't really care sadly. Thats why you barely ever see suspensions for extremely dangerous moves that dont really injure the person

[hertdebert]

Phagnef is the biggest cheap shot artist going... he will get his one of these games.... his number has been taken and someone is gonna cheap shot him worse. I can't wait to see it happen... and the league and all his sissy fans will be crying for their golden boy.

[pizzaboy20]

Cheapshot artist lol. I still like his huge hits though even if a few are a little dirty

[itsgaythatyourgay]

pretty cheap

[WFR]

That was fucking golden! Phaneuf just wanted to make a statement. The wings player started this with his hit. I would have finished that check aswell.

[Sk3L370R]

first hit was fine, but com on that second one was just being a dick

[gdavies4]

head shot???

[BrokenRedSkull4]

Cheap ass hit!

[joyfulvulture]

i love phaneuf but thats a hit from behind along the boards, thus a penalty.

simple.

[jraybay]

@joyfulvulture When was he behind him? Im sure you know that in hockey when youre going for a puck most players take the body if they are skating close like that. I have no idea where or when you saw kopecky get hit from behind since it never happened. There was no penalty called either.

simple.

[joyfulvulture]

@jraybay

you are an idiot.

simple.

[jraybay]

@joyfulvulture You are a bullshitter trying to tell yourself what you think is right. I dont know how you call it a hit from behind when they are colliding side by side, dipshit.

[puddingpants7]

@joyfulvulture How can it be a hit from behind, when there is not hit from behind?

[almostboards117]

@puddingpants7 watch after kopecky already hit the boards when he comes in and hip checks his head into the boards.

[puddingpants7]

@almostboards117 Thanks I assumed that the other guy was talking about the initial contact. Also I duno if that was on purpose looks like momentum took him in . I'm not a Phanuef fan either, dont get it wrong.

[almostboards117]

@puddingpants7 it probably wasn't on purpose, even though i hate Phanuef i will give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. but what the ref says goes and Bettman has turned the NHL to shit...

[puddingpants7]

@almostboards117 Yes we agree on bettman lol. I do however like the headshots being taken out I dont care if some oldschool nhl fans dont like it because there are less concussions and mindless goon seeking missiles... its easy to say that from your couch... concussions are no joke though so if it makes a players career longer, lets go.

[almostboards117]

@puddingpants7 but the fans need to be informed and realize that the hit to the head rule is only for blind side hits not hits targeting the face, so that players like kronwall dont get a swarm of people calling foul for what he did to selanne earlier this year

[puddingpants7]

@almostboards117 Yea true I think all contact sports dont educate the fans very well because not everyone is going to read the rulebook you know lol. The NFL is facing a similar problem with the "helmet to helmet" stand they've taken.

Kronwall almost launches himself into players most of the time and I think players dont like that but he's a clean hitter. Youre absolutely right about the blindsides vs hits to the face.

[almostboards117]

@puddingpants7 as a lifelong wings fan i will admit i may be biased about some things but nobody walks the line of clean/dirty better than kronwall. ive seen a few clean ones hes gotten called on and same with getting away with being dirty so it all comes out in the wash for the most part.

[tunder545]

@joyfulvulture kopecky tried to hit pheneuf

[chriskoch2424]

@tunder545 true but second hit was unnecesary

[toml08]

the red wings are all pussies no one does anything after that lol:P

[a2thegoodwin]

im a flames fan but dion that is pure dirt

[1DJSTUNNA1]

Dion one of my favorite players but thats not something you can do its a cheap shot all the way

[jigsaw99]

wow... he didn't get suspended for that?

[benduncan8]

no lol

[greymilton]

Ouch! I like Phanuef, but he hits hard enough without having to take cheap shots like that... he should have waited to get him mid-ice like he is so good at.

[1autin1]

FUCK YAAAA!! phaneuf can do watever the fuck he wants just cz he can,,

[airsoftx21]

you are a fucking idiot

[Teabagonyou]

He is one mean fucker but that was cheap.

[TroySpartans9]

that was a little dirty, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

[dyl1110]

Go phaneuf make all of them your little bitches.

[1WorldFamous]

That's Right!

[et477]

damn. that is nasty.

[mcdouga1l]

he had a good hit in the beggining but he didnt need to finish that like the announcer sed

[AnaheimDucks39]

that announcer is a fag thats what you do in hockey you finish your checks

[boudrozoltar]

The announce is Ken Daniels, he knows more about hockey than you and the entire anaheim fanbase.

[HailCostanza]

When the guy gets up from sliding into the boards? When is he even possessing the puck when he's sliding into the boards. I think maybe you are the fag whose pissed that Detroit spoiled your Anacrime Fucks postseason run. Biznatch!

[JPSS97]

Dirty play. Bottom line

[SKaieR]

0:02-0:03 pause ...

[nascarchampion48]

phanuef what a graet bitch kick em out that was a cheap shot.

[O1L3Rfan]

thats actually a little dirty and ive seen so many crazy hockey hits. he saw he was off balance. he didnt need to put him theough the boards when he was falling

[halo3freak61]

double pwned

[avsfan7]

really cheap hit

[SpitinChicklets]

Scummy hit. Someday..some hockey player is going to go to jail for a loooooong time...when somebody gets killed ( again) on the ice. It's happened b4. Love the game. Love the hitting... But have a brain.

[koradek]

Man that was dirty

[04berlinwood04]

who the hell is kopetsky. i thought it was kopecky. anyways that was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo dirty

[Crymson1]

It's pronounced kopetsky.

[redwingman24]

red wings have so many haters. i think its jealousy

[Coulddousin]

@redwingman24 jealousy? most of the haters aren't against the team, its the fans that are the issue

[richie14196996]

flames fan here that was cheap but the red wings are all pussy no one stands up for each other

[ZetterbergandDatsyuk]

How did his head not pop off?

[stevetherriault]

I don't get why EVERY players in the NHL are unable to say sorry, I know it sounds a bit dumb but, if I would be Phaneuf I would have stoped for a second or two and said sorry, it would have been gentleman....BTW I love Phaneuf.

[mkmacdaddy3000]

you gotta understand theres so many emotions, and if he got close to him on the ice someone woulda got a mit in his teeth

[squakle5611]

did phaneuf get suspended for that?

[HolyHellPreacher]

Phaneuf hit on Kopecky? I didn't know they went that way! What was his pick-up line?

[EchoedEd]

Ouch.

How was there not any payback for that one?

[Repik8000]

dumbass red wings players didnt bother to go after phanuefy poo.

[WFD9]

dumbass red wings r in the stanley cup finals

[bardock421]

then they lost

[04berlinwood04]

he should get suspended like 15 games for that . u dont rear end a guys head after he goes straight to the boards

[Emorosa7]

Shut the hell up, any red wing deserves that, they are fuckin cheap.

[WFD9]

ur one of those haters?

[bishoppx]

Cheap shot. You were expecting something different of him?

[Kevtex9]

Phaneuf is a dick. I have been watching like 10 videos of him being a cheap shot. There is no reason he should have done that.

[leomessi102]

bunned.....

[BreadBasket1369]

kopecky is my last name what a coincidence

[takusan99hk]

good hitS!

[cookie2424242424]

his helmet fell off then phanuef hit him with his "rear end" and that could of easily put him in the hospital but all wings are tough ever since stevie wonder

[roenn0505]

unbelievebel he didn't got a penalty.. dion is one uggly bastard

[jkrx]

Hope Downey teaches Phaneuf some manners soon.. If flames wasnt such a dirty team Im sure even some teammates would have something to say about that hit.

[vipathesnipa]

phaneuf would own downey

[alexz2317]

riggghhht get off that weed cowboy

[jkrx]

like he owned Ruutu? :P

[vipathesnipa]

i don't even see how that compares, lets see ruutu drop the gloves with phaneuf

[jkrx]

Ruutu doesnt have to.. phaneuf would just fall on his ass again :)

[wishbone0218]

Whatch the body language of Phaneuf. He knew exactly what he was doing. I am a big fan of hits but saying this is what hockey needs is like saying George Bush did a great job as President.

[Christopha52]

hes bringin back the good old days of hockey. not all that gat finesse bullshit

[wishbone0218]

So any hit to someones head is a good hit? I am all for good CLEAN hits and most of the time Phaneauf hits clean. But this is not one of them.

[Christopha52]

great hit thats what hockey needs. Phaneuf ends careers

[NickPerryman18]

lol whose career has he ended then?

[Calgaryflamesftw]

Well that looked pretty painful...

[gdavies4]

im a big fan fo physical play but thats taking it to another level..

there wasnt any need..

propoer cheapshot

[unholyAAAngel]

i agree with the announcers, phaneuf didnt have to finish that one

[gunnerman1991]

phaneuf is pretty good at hitting people who are looking the other way. I get it...keep your head up, but phaneuf runs away quick when people come after him. How did Calgary's season end in 2008? Oh yeah, those "pussy" wings won the cup and Phaneuf and co were going to Celine Dion concerts before the end of April. Keep your head up Dion!

[gunnerman1991]

....and watch out for Dan Cleary....LMAO!!!

[nabby2035]

kopecky was off balance... so i really don't think its completely phaneufs fault. he may have tried to turn the other way, but there really wasnt much time to react.

on the other hand, the refs are retarded. why the hell would you not stop the play when something like that happens.... they forced him to get up and leave.

[nukuino321]

Dion is just finishing his check

[dansweet111]

dions an awesone player but that was a dirty one, it happens

[PocketHercules99]

fuckin pussy wings think they dont need fighters , well heres reason number 1!

Any other team it would have been a yard sale of gloves

[mirzayanov]

u know way more than all of them...

[mirzayanov]

yea im an idiot because i don't think phaneuf should have gotten a penalty and the refs don't think so either and neither do the red wings so i guess that makes them idiots too...

[boudrozoltar]

how the fuck does the play go on here. Phaneuf should have got 5 and a game for this sort of bullshit.

what an asshole, the Ruutuuu thing is 40 times funnier than I realized.

[mirzayanov]

i don't give a shit anyway a lot of people say phaneuf is tough and his hits aren't nearly as hard as ovechkins

[mirzayanov]

yea because its phaneufs problem that kopecky has his towards the boards in that position, like i said if that was a dirty than all the red wings players would have attacked phaneuf and phaneud would have gotten a penalty, u know why he didn't?? because that was a clean hit
