Easily one of the GREATEST hits in OHL History ! AMAZING! Even more amazing is him beating the shit out of the chump who unsuccessfully tries to play hero and step in. Kids take note: First, TAKE A GUY OUT with the HARDEST open ice hit you've ever laid, then DESTROY any asshole who tries to come to his aid. Amen and have fun!
Dirty or not, the guy had his head down and that's one of the first rules you learn. Don't skate with your head down or you'll get hit. Hard. End of story.
@MillerIsJesus It was self policed...no one did that for fear of having to answer to the enforcers...they didn't worry about the penalties and the game was much better.
kassian is a beast but this was a really dirty hit, yes in the '90s as well, there was no need for kassian to launch at the guys head, a simple body check would hav easily knocked him off the bouncing puck that he didnt hav, this is a hit that could end a guys career, absolutely no need for that
@ProKevin96 Wow! You call me a retard, and you can't even use the word "your" properly in a sentence... and I'm from Tennessee! I don't think I need to comment any further on you. Trying reading your posts before you submit them.
@MillerIsJesus the reason why is say Buffalo needs this is because they don't stack up against teams in their division. Buffalo lets chara do what he wants and we have no one to stop him. we have kaleta but he just isn't that big, and goose is big but a huge puss, finally we got kassian. i bet lindy and darcy are gona have a talk with him about these kinds of hits, but for now im extremely excited to see this guy play.
@MillerIsJesus bro im a sabres fan and have been for my entire life. I agree that this was a dirty hit, but buffalo needs stuff like this more than ever. Darcy regher is a great gm with the budget hes has to work with but you can't go out and get tiny guys like gerbe ennis connolly or pominville. we need big players who will finish the check instead of the poke check.
depends how you look at it... he cleary tried to crush the guy... and all his momentum was targeted at the guys head... not his chest... This is called intent to injure. I suppose this is how the league saw this, and why the decision for such a severe sentence occured.
its physics.... he wouldnt have left his feet and rolled over if he wasnt putting momentum high up on the other player. if it was a clean shoulder check then he would stay low through the hit. he raises his arms and take him out with a high hit.
just a heads up, for someone who knows the rule you dont seem to know shit, charging is also defined by the distance a player travels in the process leading up to a hit, kassian started from the other side of the ice, he took a run, left his feet and delivered a cheap shot to an unsuspecting player.
quit trying to defend kassian. if no suspension for charging, he deserved his suspension for interference and head hunting. kassian basically disregarded the puck which bounces right by him on his way to concuss kennedy. and if you werent so blind you would realize that kassian did leave his feet BEFORE he hit him.
Wow... How about we let a 200 pound slab of meat with no brain get launched at your head at 35 MPH while you aren't looking directly at your temple and see what you think? The hit was dirty, and these are exactly the kind of hits that DO need to be taken out of the game. Kennedy could have been taken out of the play just as easily with a shot to the shoulder or chest, but Kassian was was cheap and went for the head. I'm 5'6 and 195, so any day that you wish to feel what it was like, just call
kassian is supposed to bend over so that he doesn't hit him in the head? i don't understand what your getting at here? any which way you want to look at it, dirty hit or not the first lesson you learn in hockey is never skate up the middle of the ice with your head down or looking in the other direction. he did, paid for it whether the hit was clean or not is not relevant. in the 90's this hit isn't even a penalty. hockey is becoming a pussy americanized sport
@DoctorFrankenboot dude your a faggot why do people like u whatch kassian destroy people just to complain about how its dirty..its fucking hockey stfu and stop being a bitch
@DoctorFrankenboot You know, if you dont like watching clean hits, I'm pretty sure there are world figure skating videos somewhere on Youtube you can watch. Bye.
@VaNc3y I totally agree with you, his feet didnt leave the ground until the hit was delivered and it wasnt his fault kennedy's head was down. as a buffalo native and a huge sabres fan, i know we'd love a kid like this here in buffalo
@Davidcito911 rinaldo is a piece of shit.. dirty hockey player that will take a stupid penalty, he will take a run at hall, likely miss because hall has too much hockey sense, look like a complete jackass, than get challenged by harry young to fight for taking liberties on our team, and the super glue will set that lives on his hands when people ask him to drop the mitts.. unless of course they are 17 and/or smaller than him
@VaNc3y r u a retard, has rinaldo ever done what kassian did? rinaldo throws some huge clean hits and ye he has thrown some dirty ones but not like kassian, im not sayin rinaldos goin to go head huntin, hall or not he will get a spit back, and are u serious dont u follow training camps, rinaldo destroyed players in the AHL/NHL when they dropped the mitts, i dont think you follow hockey alot
ahhaha are you kidding me? Rinaldo hasn't fought since he played for Mississauga.. Yah, clean hits is that why the night after this game he was thrown out with a 5 minute major against plymouth? Give your head a shake dude.
@VaNc3y are you kidding me, im pretty sure he had about 10 fights when he was with london did he win they all obviously, and actually it was against the spirit and it wasnt a dirty hit go look it up and watch the hit it was a center open ice hit very clean he got the 5 and game cause the player got hurt, but ye learn some facts then talk cause you sound like a retard about he hasnt fought since majors
@Davidcito911 go ask andrew yogan how clean rinaldo is you fuckin goof.. are you forgetting how long he put yogan out with a vicious hit from behind.. that was WAY worse than anything kassian has ever done
@rocketsauced are you serious dude?his hands are at the side of his hip, his elbows are down and charging is when you leave the ice or don't glide before laying the body. he was gliding, and he didn't jump.. it's interference
taybay seriously it seems you don't know what your talking about, sorry. kassian is lookin at the hit all the way in.. and he hit kennedy not stanisz.. stanisz is the one that stood up for his teammate to fight him.. and kassian wasn't hurt at all!.. so not sure what you were thinkin with your comments
0.58.... KASSIANS FEET DO NOT LEAVE THE GROUND, HE ONLY JUMPS WHEN HE REALIZES WHAT HAPPENING SO HE CAN MAKE IT SO ITS NOT AS BAD... The fight afterward was rutarded bc, they were both seriously injured and aren't all there.
I HATE ZACK KASSIAN WITH A PASSION! But seriously, Staniz got hit in the face with a puck and wasn't paying attention nor was Kass' so realistically sure it was a dirty hit, but it was unavoidable bc both players were caught wih their pants down, not paying attention in their own GAME!
You are incorrect. He absolutely could've hit him without leaving his feet.. He should be out 5 games or less, but only because I don't think that these should be major suspensions. Cormier deserves 10+ probably, but this would only be 5.
he drove right through him.. it isn't humanly possible the way he hit him not to fly over top of him as he went through his body.. it looks alot like niklas kronwall hits from the wings. alot of ppl say charging alot of ppl say it's clean
Easily one of the GREATEST hits in OHL History ! AMAZING! Even more amazing is him beating the shit out of the chump who unsuccessfully tries to play hero and step in. Kids take note: First, TAKE A GUY OUT with the HARDEST open ice hit you've ever laid, then DESTROY any asshole who tries to come to his aid. Amen and have fun!
