[XCisor]

@flamingAVACODS12

[flamingAVACODS12]

@XCisor u are probably just a gay little fucking kid who does nothing but correct people.

[39hockeyfreak]

[ReMiiXNiiNjA]

[imonaboatland]

what a pussy he gave him s segure

[leafsrawesome]

Greasy!!!!

[ShimiShake890]

Was he havin' a seizure r sumting?

[eFSniping]

@ShimiShake890 yes.

[justingnr12]

you guys are fags

[guitarplyer86]

fucking idiot he deserves to fucking die

[heyme99]

shut up people ! then why patrice is playing in the nhl right now ??

[hellocat199]

that person wh did it should not be able to play in that league again

[5hockeyboy5]

this scared me big time

[zonkedforlife2]

"not for pansies" lol

[murphycmurphy]

DONT CALL IT A HIT, IT WAS FUCKING DIRT. FUCK YOU PATRICE CORMIER AND THE SHITHOLE TOWN YOU COME FROM. FUCK YOU CAP PELE

[XxXcloud360XxX]

man he had to be marked for him to just fly off the bench and throw his elbow

[dafuksup]

take a seat bitch

[XxXhappyTimesXxX]

FALCONNNNNNN ELBOW!

[daft3ndir3kt]

Fuck this shitty metal, that was just dirty...nothin' badass about it.

[conebone93]

@JameR242 not even close. If someone hits you cleanly and you convulse on the ice, in no way is that a dirty hit. All that means is you got hit hard buddy. Look at the damage Scott Stevens did in his career.

[GKaludis]

@conebone93 90% of Stevens hits were dirty. But I do agree with the compairion cause we have another Scoot Stevens in this joke.

[fallen2077]

it goes with the job dont join hockey if your a fuking pussy

[uberfatality]

It's funny how you guys play hockey, and don't know elbowing is ILLEGAL

[matthieuthecodgamer]

I think this is exactly the way he should be punished. After this kind of stuff, people get a real bad idea of hockey and people start hating it. I think he should be punished to show to the people that this is not the way hockey should be played.

[tyrionbonaduce]

So where's the video of Tam's dirty hit on March 8, for which he was also suspended?

[FreedomForever2010]

Just read the story so wanted to check the hit. Yeah he'll deserve to go to jail for that it was straight dirty.

[cactus77]

i think the guy should be thrown in the trash can for this, but this is your north american sytle of hockey and the crowds love this...yea keep cheering for fights and juvenile after whistle scrums...something i will never understand how a bunch of grown men pushing eachother around like kids make the crowd go nuts..this is just N>American hockey..its taking over more goons who can't score and less skilled players like ovechkin and crosby...what the hell is hockey turning into?

[MetalOcelot90]

@cactus77 Wow

[dgd151]

@cactus77 could you have made a less educated comment, you seem to have it backwards, what you're saying sounds like hockey THIRTY! years ago, not even 30 years 20. the play of one player does not speak for all, while many of the comments on this video are made by retards who are playing in your hypothetical "GHL" or goon hockey like i had said before do not take the opinion of one as consensus, in every era in every league there are cheap shot artists some times there are just more than others.

[inchargesarge]

If Todd Bertuzzi isn't in prison then this kid should be let go.

[JameR242]

If u haven't heard he's been charged with assalt and face's up to 18 months in jail

[babaluboo123]

@JameR242 Good! Good! Good!

[BDJhockey]

@JameR242 Why do you have to lie? you don't know shit about hockey.

[ksmalone29]

This hit is one of the dirtiest you will ever see. However if Todd Bertuzzi can sucker punch a guy and still play in the NHL, then Cormier shouldn't face criminal charges.

[reapercometh]

This hit is beyond Dirty. This is intentionally trying to hurt someone. The guy doesn't see him coming he could easily have landed a clean hit of any kind be it Hip check or a shoulder. He clearly leads with the elbow.

[GhostOnline133]

@JameR242 i agree with carmagedon, if i had a chance however to tal kto mikael tam, i would say suck it the fuck up, u werent anything great anyways...so enjoy ur disabilty checks, his only response would be drooling from his mouth duhhhhhhh

[saxydogg77]

I love all the tough guys on here blaming Tam for not "keeping his head up". Complete alpha male BS. The real pussy here is Cormier for the blindsided cheapshot. He intentionally injured Tam using his elbow as a weapon. How the fuck can you defend that?

[colintheohockey]

even if you have the puck and your head is down (which it shouldnt be to begin with) that's still a dirty hit....it's like the dirty hit on marc savard...there's no reason you can't make a clean hit on someone who has their head down...no room for that in hockey

[TheKipperNum18]

MIke Tam had his head down so not dirty

[KingOfTheCrease1]

@TheKipperNum18 he got elbowed in the face you moron. Learn to skate before you make dumb comments on something you don't understand

[CtrlRm]

Looks like he is going to face criminal charges

[fready69]

Scott stevens made a career of hits like that now this kid is going to end up in jail because of it. Bertuzzi didnt even end up in jail. Its ridiculous.

[confidentwun2]

he's not in the hosptial with brain trauma wtf

[pethcir]

Patrice Cormier has no right to be near the NHL. So ashamed that he was the captain of the World Junior's this year. Ugh.

[Yamaha1997]

why would you put music to such a serious incident?

[Dillybar121]

GAY

[dgd151]

perfect example of why they traded him

[CARMAGEDON28]

the guy should keep his head up, and suck it the fuck up.

[TheRealThang88]

@CARMAGEDON28 go fucking try that yourself I will put on my hockey equipment and see how you feel after i do that to you

[Smitty1914]

@CARMAGEDON28 are you a fucking idiot how bout you get hit like that then you can tell the guy to suck it up you fucking dumbass

[CARMAGEDON28]

@Smitty1914 well im not in the NHL, so i dont think i would get hit like that.......and if i did i wouldnt know what hit me, and it would be my own fault for being an idiot.

[epidemix]

@CARMAGEDON28 lol @ this dumbass faggot.. go jump into the falls

[blarpopo]

@CARMAGEDON28 Go tell that to Tam and get your fucking teeth knocked out.

[royalschick76]

aww that sucks

[hockeychick1871]

totally fair. i don't care that his head was down. dirty.

[Elanary]

that fucker sux hard..he was gunnin for that guy right off the bench...

[spacefaget]

You cannot change the punishment for whatever happens to Tam. If he can't play hockey again, that's terrible, but you can't react based on that and say that Cormier shouldn't play again.

Look at the incident and decide.

If you want my opinion, here it is: He was absolutely gunning for the guy and it was the dirtiest of hits. Look at other suspensions based on headshots and punish accordingly.

[sprd90]

definately a bad decision, the timing was just right where cormier could have backed off or atleast put more shoulder into it. the game of hockey has endured unecessary hits before so no need to go overboard...he's still a kid just trying to make a name. (even though now its a tarnished name)

[flem357]

I think he should be traded to Atlanta and most likely play next season...I win.

[SirLucius22]

body check... no.... hip check.... no.... cheap as$ elbow.... yes... he was gunning for this guy right off the bench

[firehair100]

it looks like he didnt even hit em

[hashymotothiroiditis]

The kid was convulsing of course it's a fuckin dirty hit. That is actually desrving of a years suspension at the least!

[benandwill1]

OUCH!

[shermzzz]

wexarexthexStorm i wasnt saying anything about the hit obviously it was dirty, i was just talking about regular hits and if ur heads down and (its a clean check) then ur asking for it

[modernwarfare2m16a4]

hope he never gets to the nhl

[shermzzz]

@critikalthinkr i beleive if ur head is down and u have the puck ur asking to be nailed ( i played hockey and if i had my head down and he clean checked me then i know it was my fault .. even if i had my head down and someone elbowed me liek that thats just wrong

[wexarexthexStorm]

@shermzzz

Dude, he got elbowed, that was not a hit, he intentionally missed with the shoulder.

Whenever you see the triangle form of the arm you know it's dirty.

[TheKipperNum18]

your right his head was down

[kevincgrant]

straight elbow to the head, disgusting hit.

[collectcanada]

Cormier should be banned from ever playing hockey again. This was intentional and brutal. I don't care what pace the game is played at you have control. If you don't you shouldn't be on the ice period.

[zackgustafson17]

r u serious bro? ur gonna ban him for life for that? its hockey not tennis. the rest of the season will be sufficient enough. its not like he was trying to end his career

[backsideboardslide16]

something like that and you think he wasn't trying to seriously hurt the guy, possibly end his carreer, your a moron

[zackgustafson17]

well if you seriously believe that, then you are obviously the moron. its a contact sport. injury is bout to happen dispite how severe. next time you come to RI, let me know.

[backsideboardslide16]

you are a total idiot, it is obvious you have never laced up a pair of skates and played the game before.

[wexarexthexStorm]

@collectcanada

It's the roids bro.

[10bruinsfan10]

@collectcanada 1. he didnt mean to do that to the guy, wake up. 2. taking hockey away from someone is like taking a baby cub away from the mother. its yes dirty but he didnt mean to hurt tam

[gingerkk1]

this reminds me of the movie slapshot, the only difference being in the movie the cheap shots of the hanson bros were funny

[critikalthinkr]

mitchoner, i respect your opinion. I'm just part of a small group that seems to find something a little off about laying a guy out flat when he doesn't see it coming. It's really a debate over what's "clean". somethin always bugged me about Scott Stevens nailin guys with their heads down. I've seen good hard checks where the guy getting hit saw it coming, braced himself, and still got leveled. I just think any hit completely out of nowhere is kinda like a sucker punch. what do ya think?

[Masterbaitist]

i think Cormier should be kicked out of hockey for good, this was by far, the most dirty hit i ever saw

[sircrxracer]

I LOVE HOCKEY SO MUCH! and i know wat a good check is but he on perpisly lifted his elbow. so i think he should be never able to come back to the OHL. like that ben fannely hit was very dirty but at least he didn't go in convolshion. he was just down for a while ande the guy who hit ben was kicked out of the OHL so cormier should be kicked out.

[mlukesic]

Cormier -- Will get destroyed by the big boys in the NHL -- Only time will tell -- He wants play with the big boys then let him play with the big boys

[critikalthinkr]

I love hockey, and i like good physical play. But this hit pretty much tells you what's wrong with the "tough hockey" mentality of us Canadians. Finish your check! Hit him! You can hear the echoes of coaches and fans stressing the importance of laying guys out flat if you catch them "admiring their pass". Bloodthirsty bonehead fans lookin for the next crushing hit. What makes them any different than people who go to airshows to see crashes? Is it tough to knock out a guy who isn't looking?

[mitchoner]

@critikalthinkr i'm canadian. i've got no problem with a clean hit on a guy with his head down. the disgusting thing about this hit is that he raised his elbow right into the guys face. That's no longer "finishing a check". i don't think cormier should be allowed back in that league, he can fight his way into the NHL to get knocked out if he wants, but this guy has no regard for the other players on the ice. If he would have kept that elbow down I'd be taking a different position on this...

[Ubiquity4U]

He should be required to sit out the same number of days it takes his victim to recover and pay his victim any income missed during recovery... plus a penalty, of course.

[DrKaber]

end his career in hockey forever

[randomboiis]

what song is this

[JameR242]

Master of the Puppets by Metallica

[jerjanz]

Cormier should be suspended for life and I'm glad the USA won the world juniors!!! This is coming from an unproud Canadian

[UpperCanada1]

Condemnation of Cormier by the NHL for cowardice and criminal charges by police for assault with intent to inflict serious injury.

[Demonkid1231]

i agree with the criminal charges but the nhl this probly wont happen, it may have been an ass thing to do but it wont ruin his career

[eddyntm]

okay now he is suspended for the rest of the season plus playoff. I dont desagree with the call, but i think that it shows that they dont penalize the action but the result, if Tam gets up and is able to play, its a 5 minutes penality, I dont say it should be 5 min, but its a fact that they penalize only the result of the action. how many time i've saw dirty hits, check by behind and everything...then the player gets up so its only 4-5 min of pen, its absurde!

[thehighestsociety]

perfectly clean. five minute misconduct at the most. its canada bitch!

[andrewcrossfire]

lmao, your a fucking idiot. doesn't matter if it's canada or not, you don't need shit like that. go buy a new pair of glasses or learn to play hockey.

[kgr5017]

Suspended for one year. He should be ashamed of himself.

[mrdanparks76]

done!!! no nhl no nothing on a cheap ass hit like that. there is no need for someone like that in the nhl. its bad enough ya have ott and avery and tootoo, but to add another one like this, he will just waste time and be another cheap shot artist like the above mentioned players

[boboleni11]

cormier is such a chode a total cheap bastard he diserves to be suspended for a year for that terrible elbow

[stormrider57]

Indefinite suspension with criminal charges there is no way that that hit was unintentional.

[albiss74]

Cormier should be suspended until Tam can play again. The team should also have to sit one player who plays the same position (forward or defense) as the offender for every game that Tam misses. If these rules were applied (NHL included) this shit would end overnight!

[MrAudacia]

well, watching this video, im not surprised it keeps happening, what kind of consequences does this guy really have to worry about? a slap on the wrist? a little time off to play golf?

protect yourselfs at all times...

[RikterZilla]

That hit really hurt Tam. Lost teeth, unconsious, convulsing. I'm ashamed.

[ArmpitNoises]

There should be criminal charges brought against him. What an asshole.

[sinisterurge1]

Should be suspended indefinitely.

[broncks4]

Laraque? yes Chara? are you kidding? he's a euro

[umdpm]

He should miss the remainder of the season! Glad to hear the Devils are honoring the suspension, as well.

[soucoup001]

let him play in the next game against quebec hell get whats coming to him

[JameR242]

i agree bertuzzi hit was normal hockey but this guys hit was obviously ment to hurt him it s just bertuzzi hit causeed a worse injury

[jimih64]

@JameR242 lololol Bertuzzi's "hit" was normal hockey? He fucking mauled him, it was anything but normal hockey.

[newman20072008]

suspended? u fucking kidding me???????? he should be BANNED from hockey and CHARGED

[gatorzaz]

Cheap as hell! If I was this guys teammate, I would have hopped off the bench and kicked his ass myself.

[22crosby22o9]

he could of killed him he is a loser. nasty hit@

[lilgummybear59]

God damn I love sports

[solott55]

Best comment ever - shit, that made me laugh.

[thecanuck1234567]

let him do this shit in the NHL and then have someone like Laraque or Chara teach him a lesson

[hollaXboi]

KABOOOM!, dirty hit, fucked him up bad, 30 game suspension

[lildrummakid]

@hollaXboi WTF are you thinking...he should get the rest of the season and playoffs!!!!tht was an elbow to the head and the guy has brain damage!!!!

[hockeyaustcam]

nasty hit i say a 20-25 game suspension

[maddballer1620]

nothing while happen until someone dies .............argument is over he will get suspended so on but look at all sports only person i really know that really f up his career is Gilbert arenas

[GSHLproductions]

its hockey fuk people! its not darts or poker! this looks realy bad and happens once and awhile but i bet this wasn't his intension he just wanted to drill him not fuk him up this bad------15-20 game max in my opinion

[JameR242]

yea i agree but he didn't realize he could fuck anyone up this bad . He wwill probley never do it again and if he does he should be banned

[YouzaFaggot17]

gone forever he is a flat out punk

[JameR242]

not really a punk but a douche bag who doesn't know realize he could kill someone by throwing the elbow around

[omgclb]

criminal charges must be laid

[faunbudweis]

He deserves a life-time ban, Liambas got it for what was at least a hockey play, but this had nothing to do with hockey at all
