Colby Armstrong Hit on Eaves (Pens-Sens QF Game 3)

[tacotom1]

my favorite player of all time hes a smart one i cant believe pens traded him for hossa such a bad deal

[alecbattaglia]

@tacotom1 your retarded

[Maverrick11]

at the time this was a legit hit...so glad toronto got this kid

[sinnaever]

clean hit



[thebellendsFTW]

@sinnaever is such a clean hit, Colby has a reputation for hitting people illegally not because players dont like to keep their head up. The only hit he has done that should be considered bad was the one on Perreault

[romansmk]

Dirty Fuck, I don't care if he now plays for my leafs, I want to see him taken out.

[thebolt6]

@romansmk get over yourself..clean hit...he needs to keep his head up

[HeluvaDo0b]

@romansmk

like fuck he's a dirty player. Skate with your head down and you deserve to be hit.

[wholewheatbagel]

clean hit. keep your head up

[Fifa09Wii]

wow cant wait to see armstrong this year, i can see the brawls coming

[Tha4thLetterr]

wow, McAmmond surprised me at the end of that fight there

[KipsShow]

that was a pretty decent fight

[TrustYourOwnInstinct]

Keep.

Your.

Head.

Up.

[orrin01]

that is his signature hit...

[nfms12]

Colby is a beast,

[xxFlghterXxx]

same thing happend to Letowski.

Talbot got owned. serves that right.

[HPhenomenal]

SENS FUCKING SUCK!

[vlsqvtpb]

@HPhenomenal

did you ever see how your mom does it? A vacuum is put to shame.

[SouthP17CD]

LoL at Talbot fighting, watch how he steps into his first punch, hop hop hop, rofl

[aceraso11]

coming from a pens fan. shut the hell up about colby

[steeltowndude]

DamnI didn't know Talbot could fight

Bring colby back!

[CittenX3]

he fought fucking mccammond.. talbot can't fight

[steeltowndude]

Well..

At least he can hit O.o

[890JonnyMac890]

Armstrong is the best checker in the NHL.

[fisherjule]

thats f---ing durdy!!!

[nttawwt03]

Haha thats called Eaves-dropping

[unholyAAAngel]

lmao nice very cleverr

[mgcsop03]

Haha, holy shit

[syn3rgetic]

@nttawwt03 How witty!

[lvgordo]

@nttawwt03 Hi-Yo!

[pizzaboy20]

I want Armstrong back on the pens he was the best

[asiatique28]

Colby SUCK

[daburgh1111]

yea ovechkin has a similar hit on malkin but u kno malkin threw ovi off like he was shit

[BQBrandon]

it was becasue he took thew hit wrong

[stpdass20]

this is why they tell you to keep your head up.

[vercaberca]

Idiot... this is why tell you don't hurt others

[M1T013K38]

mcammond is a dickwad

[Azeckie]

mcammond looks retarded whens hes trying to fight

[LisaMarie1725]

eustii ! colby se prend vraiment pour un autree en + c voulu pareille comme pour koivu et carter er les autres touka cette année ya pas fait de beau placage !! pis c'est bian

[imperialofficer]

Talbot got owned in the fight after wards.

[pens27bgl]

Eaves is in the nhl, he should be able to skate with his head up. Watch Ovechkin try to do the same to Malkin, Malkin had his head up, and Ovechkin got thrown into the boards.

[15543341grl]

army is a beast. i would not to fuck with him.

[runqfritsu]

did he get anything from this?

[Crosbyisapimp]

thats what happens when you cheap shot crosby all series long. Thats what happens when you fucking with the penguins

[seandowney777]

you are a huge fag no one likes the pengins that is why they lost

[djeikapap]

actually its penguins. learn how to spell the name of the team that will win the stanley cup this year, next year, and the year after that, and so on.

[imperialofficer]

Actually everyone in pittsburgh likes the penguins so learn what you're saying before you say it idiot...

[IronCityPRIDE]

Good call Douche

[jimypageisgod]

that was a beautiful hit. eaves should of kept his head up.

[cschalluspgh]

lil colby is a beast

[iluvCrosbyGoPens87]

i was @ this game it was very scarey but we were glsd that sum one got hit

[kobeandshaqBFF]

i would be scared to be on the same ice as army he has devastating hits

[JHardyRKO4658]

that was absolutely beautiful

Its the pens year this year.

[buccofan27]

your boy should learn to keep his head up...atta baby kolby

[zackiscute]

ARMSTRONG=AWSOME HE HITS HARD

[hockey211644]

yea he does

[scryan20]

I'm a sens fan, but that was a clean hit, i'll give props to Armstrong. i'm just glad that Talbot got owned by Mcammond

[bauer272]

owned? he may have taken talbot down but i think talbot hit him a lot more.

[jambi111]

he did get owned... talbot may have landed a few in the beginning but Mcammond took him down.

[Ghr1st]

taking some1 down isnt owning them if his face was bleeding hed be owned but mcammond has a gimp right arm lol puss

[brettgobolos]

nice hit buddy, PENS ROCK

[penguins58]

k eaves came around the net with his head down, he deserved to get lit up

[nissassagame]

it was clean but unnecessary. he could have lifted the stick or went for the body but that was a headshot. its too bad because armstrong has some talent and when the instigator rule is thrown out next year he is going to get killed.

[Shaydog00966]

Armstrong alwaus gets into trouble, that Idiot.

[nilsn09]

ARMSTRONG ROOOLEZ!!

[catchermonster46]

agreed

[regnarsux105]

man colby does that a lot

[skynyrd73]

this was a lot like the hit he laid on trevor letowski. at least the pens and canes players had the class to not beat the crap out of each other while a fellow skater lay unconscious on the ice like they did here. if you check the replay starting at 1:46 it looks like armstrong may have followed through with the elbow, this hit might have been a little malicious. still, colby's pretty cool.

[PenoteX]

lollll tabot got owned lollll

[pp2211]

ya, seriuosly, shut up

[pbkiller27]

shutup mccommand is a fag

[pp2211]

no its a clean hit, u just like ottawa thts y u say it not fair, o ya by the way the chris neal hit on avera wa not fair. armstrong best hitter.

[RJ8812]

its not a clean hit dumbass, its a headshot

[avs27hky008]

hhaha yea dumbass......2 minutes for headshoting?

[cyber151]

Oh i love youtube you knwo why cuz i can click all the other armstrong vids and theres a pattern, the pussy runs in hard when the guys doin a rap around in like EVERY Video. And then he runs to the bench.

You reap what you sow, and i hope one day somebody does it to you.

You live by the sword you die by it.

[CP47]

I was going to say something... but you summed it up perfectly =P

Fucking pussy runs someone blind, then like DASHES to the bench literally DODGING a fight... as seen with Sourray on the Koivu one

Pussy

[cyber151]

thanks.

And sapas 91, its one thing to time a hit well, its another to throw one specific hit cuz you dont have the balls to go head to head, and its totally cowardly to run to the bench.

No matter who you are.

You start something finish it.

[sapas91]

cyber.. they are clean hits..

and learn how to spell wrap..

[CP47]

They're not clean for 2 reasons...

1) it's common knowledge that even if it's a clean hit, if it's a bit excessive in force and on a good player... it's not respected

2) He doesn't back himself up, he lets his team do it...

You want to see a good hit; Neil on Avery like, 3 days ago... perfectly clean.... even though Neil's a dirtbag =P

Now, Neil on Drury was technically clean... but because it was to hurt a star player... it's not clean anymore

[cyber151]

And whats with all these dumb mother fuckers saying the sens aint got grit, i used to be a leaf fan but i gotta say b4 when something like this happened no senator would even go near the guy that did it!

Now fisher, neil, gratton, mchammon, they all tear into the guy and fight them.

SENS GOT GRIT.

Which is why they got further last year.

[cyber151]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ELBOW! ELBOW!

I played hockey for 12 years and i never the fuck once was told that to throw a body check you raise you elbow!

It was tuck your arms in and use your shoulder!

ELBOW!

LOOK AT 1:51.

[cyber151]

haha.

Mcammond kicked his ass.

And the pens were just freaking out cuz CROSBY (whos not that good theyll be out 1st round again) and the others they have were getting owned in the offense category.

Scott stevens would wait for ppl to have there heads down to throw a hit cuz hes a pussy.

Its called head hunting, technically its a legal hit, but only pussys throw a full scale check when the guys heads down cuz otherwise the other guy would knock ya on your ass.

[AMaloney885]

That's not a dirty shot. Eaves had the puck (hence the term "wrap-around") which always makes him fair game. It's not Colby's fault that guy can't skate with his head up. I want everyone watching this video to notice two things...1) Army delivers the hit with his shoulder, a text book body check. 2) As Talbot and McAmmond are fighting...you can see Eaves laying next to the net at the top of the screen like he's dead.

[iknowDavenMC]

It's not a dirty hit but is is a slight cheap shot. Just because the player has his head down doesn't give you the right to pound him. Sure Eaves should have had his head up but all Armstrong needed to do was give him a light hit and he could have shut Eaves down.

[Forzaabruzzo]

KEEP YOU'RE F*CKING HEAD UP! I feel bad that Eaves had to get carried out and all, but at the same time these players really gotta learn to starting playing with their heads up when they got the puck, especially AROUND THE NET! And by the way, if Armstrong doesn't throw the hit then Eaves has a clear wrap-around shot on goal. So what do you do, just let him go by?

[bigboah520]

i love how the pens stick together.. talbot was whoopin his ass before mcammond realized he couldn't win and started throwing punches like a little girl

[ceezar]

McAmmond didn't learn anything from Eaves. Like this hit, Downie's wasn't dirty either.

[penguinfanforlife]

Keep your fucking head up...everyone who says that was a dirty hit doesn't know or watch hockey

[PEEPEETINGLE]

There's nothing dirty about the hit. It's Hockey, you have to keep your head up. Colby didn't charge and didn't throw an elbow. Should he have let the guy get a shot on net? Hell no....so quit your pathetic complaining about the hit. You know nothing about hockey.

[tcarr72]

neil is a puss

[Sketchbag44]

Colby Armstrong looks like a skinny little bitch, but he can actually dish out some good hits. It's pretty surprising.

[tbeezy1]

That shit is dirty as fuck Colby is a head hunter. im waiting for Colby to get his..

[bjagoff]

Should he have hugged him and asked for the puck? This is hockey isn't it? I don't know what you should expect if you're coming around your opponent's net with your head down... apparently that's supposed to be a safe zone?

[GuardianRebelDave12]

That was a CLEAN hit Eaves had his head down, bet he wont ever do it again

[lafontaine123]

damn i didnt know much about armstrong before i saw all these dirty hits

damn what a fag

[megadethh83]

colbys a fag haha

[greg9816]

hey when u play this game u have to keep ur head up. and all of his hits were clean. COLBY'S A BEAUTY!

[scottyboy1088]

colby is the pain train

[penscup2006]

Get a grip. Watch the game. The hits on Letowski and Eaves AND Koivu were clean as clean could be. Know the game before you comment. Why could it be that everyone cant believe this skinny kid could hit? All I can say is dont put your head down, stay in the game. COLBY IS ON ICE. FEAR COLBY!!!!!

[zchara33boston]

Armstrong is one of the best hitters in the NHL. And he doesnt wear huge dustin penner sized shoulder pads. He is raw boned.

[RibBlake]

yeah, he is the dirtiest

[sim886]

this punk is gonna have his ass kick seriously next season. f**k you colby

[DainjaCat]

Colby is such a dirty hitter...he basically caused like half of the concussions in the league. Lukowich, Letowski, Koivu (at least Souray kicked his ass after), Eaves, Carter...the list is endless.

[zchara33boston]

FUCK ALL OF U WHO HATE COLBY

[RyanKG31]

yeah you're right lekitto they just let ottawa shoot slapshots at other players, eaves had his head down, it was a legal hit

[lekitto]

He should be ejected from the NHL. The refs never let Ottawa get away with that!!!!!

[zchara33boston]

FUCK U

[bjagoff]

beautiful, clean hit... to bad it wasn't Neil

[zchara33boston]

yeah i wanted to see neil get his ass kicked

[MadGangsta]

Armstrong is such a dirty hitter, he head hunts.

[oaktown134]

anything that hurts the sens i like i agree with below i wish it was alfredson especially after nothing happens to him when he blatantly shoots a puck at niedermeyer and doesnt get a penalty or anything

[avs27hky008]

too bad that wasnt alfredson

[geeza182]

then they go and play angles and airwaves to add insult to injury!

x.

[colin82793]

I love Armstrong, Buffalo should get him so we can get controversial hits.

[Tunnel51]

Colby Armstrong is the next Darcy Tucker.

Smallish player with heart and a reasonable skillset. He is also a great hitter.

[retsom]

they shoulda thrown Eaves in the net & played around him

[jcolli23]

hahaha yea hes gotta keep his head up

[3timeMVPNash]

mcammond killed talbot in that fight

[abadaba11]

Keep your head up kids...simple as that.

[sputnk325]

Sanchez and Nerveen are both right. I agree with both of you 100%

[KalmadaPruductions]

eaves got rocked. canucks for the cup.

[sccerheat09]

that was a clean hit OMG I thought the guy broke his neck b.c he wasnt moving, but it turns out it was only a concussion

[sputnk325]

eaves got fucking destroyed. Armstrong with ANOTHER clean hit. Hits like this shouldn't be disputed.

[Nerveendingfairy]

Yes, thats true, clean hit. Though, you can't blame McAmmond for sticking up for his 'mate.

[theface406]

I'm a Pens fan, but I've gotta agree with the Sens in five. Anyways, it was a clean hit, plain and simple. Eaves knows better then to skate with his head down, because thats exactly what can happen. It was a rock hard hit to be sure, but it started out as a defensive move, going around to strip the check and stop the wraparound, he wasn't gunning to hit him until he couldn't strip. No charge, clean hit.

[serlypunk]

This hit is just like several i've seen made this year by armstrong. teams are going to have to learn not to run around behind the net with this guy on the ice because he's going to set a bullseye on anyone who dose it and kill them. like i said he's done it several times this year. One thing it proves that he's becoming one of the major hitters in the nhl. Keep your head up when he's on the ice cause if you dodn't he'll kill you.

[FlightSimFanatic]

Shit happens. Simple as that.

I for one am SICK of this debate about headshots.

I see nothing wrong with this hit, nothing wrong with Armstrong's hit on Koivu, of the many hits that resulted in a stretcher, I can think of maybe two that were illegal.

These wimps in the media and at the head offices need to shut the hell up.

Again...shit happens. Somebody got hit in the head...tough. Somebody breaks their stick...tough. Somebody twists an ankle...tough.

Shit.happens.

Can't say it enough.

[PKiddy69]

Jasonf6 you make me laugh! Bad day? Clean hit bro, sorry. Rule number one in hockey keep your head up, otherwise you're gonna get hit. Hockey is a rough sport, there's always curling or something I guess. Crosby won't get hit like this cuz he skates with his head up. We'll see what you're saying about Crosby in Vancouver 2010 when he plays for Canada. Same goes for all those back woods morons in Ottawa that boo him everytime he touches the puck!

[nevmiles]

Yes . . . I am a hrqdcore Sens fan and I agree with the majority here . . . CLEAN HIT.

Eaves simply got caught with his head down. Shoulder to the head, yes, but Eaves was cutting low around the net. It's really just Eaves' fault. Armstrong juts finished his hit.

Eaves is okay though, so no worries :o) Sens in 5

[orlando12magic]

if crosby gets hurt im coming to ur house to take u out CenCalDevil!

[BehindYourSealedEyes]

Hit of Ze year, Feel reallly bad for Eaves though I'm not a Sens fan in the least. But wow, good shot.

[joedon8989]

dam, whada knock out hit

[CenCalDevil]

Even though the Senators suck balls, I hope they beat the Penguins. I hope someone takes out Crosby.

[Drgn7]

It's a clean hit. We all feel bad for Eaves though - never want to see a player get hurt.

[cass7206]

terrible game by the pens but great hit

[rosenburger33]

Perfectly clean hit, if you are in the NHL you should know not to keep your head down

[Sabresfan4851]

wow dude thats a hit

i feel bad for eaves though

people will probably be saying was it clean, dirty, moral?

i think its legal and i dont think armstrong tried to take aves out of the game. i think he was trying to push his teams morale with a big hit.

to bad for eaves tho ouch

[fscfalcon24]

It's only a charge if you take 3 deliberate STRIDES toward the opponent...he drifted in...and the other players just need to learn how to keep their heads up..clean hit by Armstong...Eaves is guilty of not paying attention on the ice

[shoemaker55]

you obvious dont know what the charging rule is. this is a perfectly clean hit.

[steveo279279]

Armstrong has pulled this crap three times now. Leaving his feet, even a little bit, is illegal. Not only that, it's a charge to come from that far away. This one is not as bad as some others, but the league has to put a stop to this kind of hit from Armstrong. It's dirty, whether or not it's legal. Too bad Gary Roberts, Georges Laraque and the other leaders on the team don't bother to tell Armstrong about it.

[shoemaker55]

its obvious you dont know what the charging rule is. this is a perfectly clean hit. Charging has nothing to do with how far you are from the hit lol.

[GhettoThunder]

Waaaa waaaa waaaa. Perfectly legal hit. No penalty call. Keep your head up, Eaves.

[Bobsluggo]

he didn't leave his feet at all you asshole

[Jasonf6]

Yes he did you asshole. And a charge is defined as a skate of 3 or more strides; he took 5. Eaves was getting pushed from behind so he didn't expect Armstrong to come at him like that. Armstrong did the EXACT same thing to Koivu, so he has a history of hitting guys like that. Add to that his running of the goaltender and his days are numbered. Don't think we won't take a little retribution against your little poster crybaby Crosby if he ever has his head down; or Fleury. :)

[markiev91]

you dumbass! armstrong's just tryin to get his team some momentum.. this was completely clean and maybe next time eaves will skate with his head up!

[ironchef8000]

Armstrong's hits are perfectly clean. He did not leave his feet, there was no charging, Colby Armstrong just got a really strong, clean hit.

[Jasonf6]

Not charging? Do you even know the criteria for charging? It is a skate of more than 3 paces, and I counted 5 for Armstrong. He said he was "finishing" his hit, but he had him pegged long before he came behind the net. Let's hope Crosby keeps his head up, would hate to see him taken out with a "legal" hit. :)

[SanchezHero]

Neil was only "finishing" his hit on Drury, too right? How about Schubert and Schaefer trying to tore Malkin's leg? Ahhhh... I got it... only Sens players are allowed to "finish" their hits. It seems now reasonably to me why you're crying out loud here. ;)

[cdurko]

its not charging when you coast in

[Bobsluggo]

hey stevehomo279279, stand in front of me and I'll show you how to really smear a queer!Sens are spineless, pens in 6!

[FlyerFan9]

Ya cuz Gary Roberts and Georges Laraque should be telling people how to it clean. LOL
