Kaleta Hits A. Markov - Habs vs. Sabres - Feb 29 08

[TheEmperorHasSpoken]

That was a clean hit at the time and should remain that way. Only a royal pussy would claim otherwise.

[bills29]

as a sabres fan ill say kaleta is a goony bitch that just takes runs at people all game. doesnt fight or stand up for anyone, just runs people. total bum and coward

[buttkick22]

@bills29 then u clearly don't watch sabres games. Kaleta fights way more often then most "pests" of today's NHL. He also fights tougher competition too. If he can stay healthy, he's also proven to be a decent hockey player too.

[vFuhMaZ]

@bills29 THANK YOUUUU

[TheEmperorHasSpoken]

@vFuhMaZ you're obviously a moron

[vFuhMaZ]

@TheEmperorHasSpoken hahahahahaha shure kid even ur own fans admit wut whooaaaa

[dbzfanl]

@bills29 I think you missed the past season there bud. He did get into two fights. But his role is to get under their skin and make them forget about the game and focus on him. He's done his job well. He's the second-most hated player in the league behind Avery.

[generationtim]

@dbzfanl Cooke? Do I even need to say more than that?

[dbzfanl]

@generationtim Oh right, forgot about him. Easy to do.

[420goossens]

@bills29 I can't wait for Kassian and Foligno to take that spotpicking pussies spot

[TheNextMarioLemieux]

throws his gloves again

[moomoosoup1]

Biased retards XD

[17302629]

AHHH SNAP! PATRICK KALETA TAKES ANOTHER DOWN!

[begin11]

late hit to the head, noting more to say

[thehockeyplaya2]

@vipethesnipa yeah he is

[vint7107]

These guys are dipshits...

[Dukaness22]

@vint7107 So true man, he's a grinder that can put the puck in the net. Clowns like this are responsible for taking hitting out of the game.

[buff585]

tsn sucks ass. clean hit, clean player 99% of the time, and he actually does play with his stick, you retarded douche bag canucks

[vipathesnipa]

@buff585 Kaleta isn't a clean player tho

[ninetailedfox579121]

@vipathesnipa Not clean for a non-contact hockey league maybe.

[xXMetalXx11]

Hey all the ppl who think kaletas dirty u obviously dont know anything about hockey hes an old fashion enforcer and everyone has a dirty hit every once in a while.keep yur fuckin head up if u know whats good 4 ya ..........ps.. FUCK CANADA

[ninetailedfox579121]

@xXMetalXx11 True that. And he's possibly the only player in the league that gets the other team pissed off at him and doesn't do it with cheap stuff. Not to mention this season he showed that he can put a few pucks in the back of the net. He's definetly one of the Sabres' key players, especially with it being playoff time.

[koko27523]

STUPID KALETA.

[goldfish7676]

News flash. Kaleta has 9 goals. Hes definitely one of the best enforcers in the game today. That's his job to turn the momentum of the game around for the Sabres... and yes, he plays with his stick TSN. Terrible network...

[romansmk]

Going to get his head taken off soon enough. Hated league wide.

[pyromatic524]

that wasnt an elbow, his shoulder hit is what hit him in the face, you can see how he kept his elbow down the whole time, the only thing i could see wrong with this is that it was a bit late

[pkingranqe]

You people bitch and whine way to much, "its a dirty hit!, that was an elbow, he runs," etc. Your missing the point of hockey, which is to have fun.

[moomoosoup1]

What are they talking about he should play without a stick. He has a decent amount of points this season. If he hadn't been injured a few times he could probably have five more. He's one of the more skilled enforcers in the league.

[dalonge88]

I love how they say he plays with out a stick. He has what 7 goals this year? I know its not a lot but for them saying he plays with out a stick he should only have Zero like alot of enforcers in the league have.

[TheRunescapeowner101]

wow CurtisBoissss you just say that because you are a little fag

[TheRunescapeowner101]

kaleta is a good hitter, i bet you that he is better than all you who talk trash about him.

[CurtisBoissss]

@TheRunescapeowner101 you just go to all his videos riding his dick about how he is a great hitter... kaleta is a plug. dirty hitter. give it up

[HiggsPat]

Kaleta is a bitch like any cheapshot artist in this league. After he got cheapshot he talk about how it has to stop and the next game he steamrolled someone in the back and knock out the player.

[mgtissweet]

i completley agree they also show that they favorite the home tem listen to rick jeneratte he never choses sides. the guys need to learn hitting is a big part of hockey

[TheNathanGranville]

I fucking hate these pussy commentators. The game is physical, gritty, and full of injuries. That's the way it's always been, that's the way the players want it, and any former player of the NHL would be ashamed to see them "lighten up" the physicality.

"Patrick Kaleta basically plays without a stick". Yeah, that's why he has 6 goals so far this year, two short-handed. Fucking moron...

[PeteCore75]

@TheNathanGranville There's a huge difference between hitting to hurt and hitting to injure. Kaleta has no respect for any other players out there. He's a cheap shot artist and aims for heads, knees, players backs. I have no problem with a good clean hit, but that's a cheap shot.

[TheNathanGranville]

I know that, and I know Kaleta is a cheap player. But he's also a guy Buffalo needs. He the kind of guy who fires up the team when they're playing slow or too soft. Plus his number of goals so far this year proves he can muscle his way into some big comebacks for the team. Say what you will about being "cheap", but as long as hitting is around, dirty players will be around, and teams will be looking for them to sign.

[PeteCore75]

@TheNathanGranville It's true that they need Kaleta, just like Ottawa needs Ruutu. Kaleta is a decent player if he settled down a bit he would be more respected.

[TheNathanGranville]

Yeah that's true. He is still very young though.

[Afinogretzky]

hahaha CHpatCH hows that Spacek/Markov pair working out for you. Faggot.

[Flexazz]

How is your cutie lil afinoganov? Great where he is eh?

[CHPatCH]

Cheap shot... elbow to the head and you make it seem like it's all right? Get real Slugs fans!

[buttkick22]

elbow?......more like shoulder......don't hunch over and assume a beast like kaleta does drive by's.....0 majors for hitting and 0 suspensions......and not only was there no suspension on this play, there wasn't even a penalty.....yep

[LeFreax]

cheap shot

[therat36]

first kaleta had him lined up he lead with his shoulder.. If you notice contact was made to his chest.first but hey this hit would never had happend if Markov did not watch his pass...

[1ManWolfPak10]

@therat36 you're a dumbass.

[vFuhMaZ]

@therat36 he lead with his elbow where were ur eyes?

[buttkick22]

@vFuhMaZ Oh please. You think if he lead with his elbow at least 1 of the analysts in this vid would bring it up. If someone like kaleta hits a star like markov with a blatent elbow there would have been reprocussions for sure. Or at least a penalty on the play. That and the fact that u can clearly see in this vid that his elbow was at his side lol. Don't let ur hatred of kaleta blind u. I know he's had a couple bad hits (ross, and pyatt) but this was b4 the headshot rule. Perfectly fine.

[vFuhMaZ]

@buttkick22 i guess ur right cant argue man thanks for the second look but u r right he led with the shoulder but it was still head contact

[Alphawolfeone]

@vFuhMaZ You can hit a player in the head and it can be legal. Thats why you keep yo head up, Ever hear a Coach say "hey, lean forward and look behind you! "

[vFuhMaZ]

@Alphawolfeone you do not know the rules of hockey

[hydr5]

@therat36 No.

[davemeleca]

Hahaha Kaleta never touches the puck?

You don't even need to play.

F*ck these wimpy as* TSN commentators.

[6habsfan9]

its easy t wreck someone when u g full force at their head u idiot...and sabrecrazed ur an idiot...laraque is the toughest guy in the nhl...and wuld absolutely destroy kaleta at any point in his career

[buttkick22]

i wouldnt say it was def late...in fast motion its pretty much right on time which is y there was no penalty or suspension...elbows r in markov is hunched over it was a matter of circumstance....if neil's hit on drury wasnt late and there was no penalty or suspsension, then same with this hit...both upset people but both were clean they just looked bad because of the whole head situation....markov put himself in a vulnerable position and shoulda known that kaleta doesnt do drive by's

[iamstupid32]

its obv. that laraque would man handle kaleta....kaleta isnt a heavy weight or even a fighter....that isnt his job his job is to throw big hits and get the other team to take penalties and i have to say that he does his job very well.

[berries44]

not 2 mention kaleta is dayum hot!!!!!!! id bang him even if he wuz blind def and retarded

[scdarrow]

laraque is a fighter, kaleta a hitter. go pens

[84hotshot84]

..............hi

[kwizzle716]

lol go sabres f**k habs they freakin suck. kaleta f***in wrecked him i dnt care wat happened

[jslefebvre8]

try to make the playoff than you could at least say that another team suck

[laurenthou]

go habs go

[mawkus1]

habs are full of gay pussy looking motherfuckers. cant stand that figure skating team.

[buttkick22]

agreed...tho i wouldnt say it was def late...in fast motion its pretty much right on time which is y there was no penalty or suspension...elbows r in markov is hunched over it was a matter of circumstance....if neil's hit wasnt late and there was no penalty or suspsension, then same with this hit...both upset people but both were clean they just looked bad because of the whole head situation

[mydimondeyeslee]

its late yes. but you have to remember that these players are moving 20-30 MPH. his elbows were in it was a shoulder check. markov is a smaller guy Kaleta is bigger matter of size thats why the contact is made with the head. but its his shoulder that hits the head not elbow. the only thing that is wrong is the timing its a little late

[Solidstate89]

It did seem pretty dirty, but it happened last season, and to date it's his only borderline dirty hit. So I'm happy that it's his only real worrisome dirty hit. What pisses me off, is the announcers who said he's better off playing without a stick.  He's not an enforcer like Peters, or Laraque, or Breashear. THOSE guys are better off playing without sticks. Kaleta can score goals, he's shown that. But he draws penalties first and foremost, and he does a great job of it.

[StevieCat27]

Its a contact sport, take off your panties!

[drummerdw5]

Cant wait till friday to see Georges Laraque lay out this piece of trash Kaleta.

[redskinmid21]

lol kaleta isnt trash... hes just a great hitter but u hav ur opinions

[mouni777]

whahah Laraque can't even skate fast enough to reach Kaleta you dumb shit!

[sabrecrazed69]

The only dumb fag so far is drummerdw5. Kaleta might not be as tough...maybe...but he hits people harder than a lot of ohter players, especially Laraque, who sucks major dick.

[andrewpetersfan76]

I love Kaleta and all, but that was kind of dirty. I still loved it though. Kaleta knows how to hit!

[HerpKeeper]

Not dirty at all, he didn't elbow nor did he do a late hit. I'm sure the rule is 1 second or 2 strides, he glided in so no 2 strides, and he was probobly right on time. It was to the head however, but he could'nt control that. Markov had his knees bent so the shoulder of Kaleta was at face level.

[andrewpetersfan76]

you know, I agree with you. it kinda looked like Markov had his head down. you can't do that in this sport or you will be flattened

[HerpKeeper]

I think the worst thing is that people are calling it a cheap shot. He was moving to fast to just stop dead in his tracks, there was no way of avoiding the hit.

[marcan79]

I don't know why some of you thinks it's a clean hit. He was caught of guard but he had not the puck when he was hit. And it was definetely a hit to the head. So learn the rules guys...

[Nutiket01]

What I hate is that they think it is dirty because he was caught of gaurd, got hit and fell down. There are far more checks that actually are late and/or dirty that go unnoticed. Go Kaleta.

[spongedom96]

all right alittle contrivershal but its hockey

[mawkus1]

markov needs more shots to the face. he looks like one of the mutants from the hills have eyes.

[SkittyGrl300]

OO KO From Kaleta.

[buffalorapids]

clean hit

kaleta is a beast

[aHealthyTimConnolly]

You sure he isn't faking? I mean Montreal has been known for doing stuff like that. It doesn't really look like one of Kaleta's biggest hits either.

[NachoMama22]

Ughh..If they actually watched any Sabres games they would know that he is not the typical tough guy. He always keeps his cool and waits for the other guy to hook him or w/e. Plus he's no goal scorer, but he had a couple of them and he can do his part. I think they mean Peters.

[conor2479]

it was extremley dirty but it was also on one of my favorite players so if it was one some on e i didnt liek i'd give to shits. i like the way keleta plays hes gonna be fun to watch

[seandog1234]

This is awesome, I'm glad Kaleta isn't scared to do something like this. Just like Pronger, Kaleta makes a difference when he is on the ice, and isn't afraid to hit someone in the head.

[mawkus1]

markov's a pussy

[pokemonkiller28]

ya markovs a pussy for sure....NOT ur a pussy cause u would propbably fucking cry like a baby if u got hit you panzy lord

[CHPatCH]

No... more like a top-5 d-man in the NHL...

Oh, by the way, thanks for Spacek, losers!!! He could have a career year playing with a REAL d-man like Markov.

[Mordecai016]

Buddy, spacek will more likely hit your forwards with his shot than the net. All I have to say is good luck cause ur gonna need it.

[Los90]

Too bad markov's injured there you dipshit

[CHPatCH]

Too bad your #1 d-man is Craig Rivet, you losers! hahaha! Even without Markov, our defense still looks better than yours.

Gotta love how this punk Kaleta got the shit beaten out of his ass by O'Byrne in the preseason.

As for Afinogretzky, your username explains perfectly why nobody's going to take you comments seriously. Homer.

Enjoy your GM losing his best assets for nothing year in and year out, losers!

[buttkick22]

Your defense looks better than ours?!?!......Oh really?!?!.......cause we are 5th in the league for goals against right now and u guys are 20th haha....what r u talking about?.......we are also 3 points ahead of you and and u guys have played 4 more games........ur defense and offense is horrible what r u talking about?

[broonton]

Scoreboard

[kevster422]

Ok squishy face... You guys blow... were on a slump and still 1st hows it like down there

[orr1234]

your d looked pretty solid yesterday

[Drpepper687]

@CHPatCH

Your defense sure didn't look good taking a 6-2 beating from the Sabres the other night, d-bag.

Their defense is almost as good as yours when a burly middle aged man threatens to rape you. "No means no! Ok, go ahead." *bends over*

[ooder1]

games like that happen. however what i did enjoy was seeing that pussy kaleta get his ass kicked.

buffalo is a very good team, and lindy ruff is a great coach, but we will see how this pans out later out in the season

[Drpepper687]

I dunno if he got his ass kicked, cause this was another case of a fighter losing his balance and the other guy falling on top of him. Take off the skates and do this in the parking lot, then we could decide who's tougher between the two.

I hate hockey fights for this very reason. One guy gets hit with baby punches in the shoulder pad, then falls, and somehow the other guy "kicked his ass"? It doesn't make sense.

I'm betting on Buffalo taking the division, and going 2 rounds.

[ooder1]

well i found that mara got the better of him because even though kaleta was on top of him when mara fell, he got right back up and put kaleta down.

also while on top of him he get smacking him around. just my opinion

usually it is kind of ahrd to tell though, your right

[Los90]

Spacho is old anyway, and he's a surplus to our d-man needs. We'll stick with Myers, thank you very much.

[vamosrafa07]

Markov's a great player and look at it anyway you want... A. It's a hit to the head. B. It's behind the play and late.

I have nothing against the Sabres or Kaleta, but that was a dirty hit.

[stuo11]

wtf is all this shit, Montreal is bigger and faster than Buffalo. I do like buffalo though, I ahve a couple vids. Afinegenov etc. but don't be bashing mtl guys, the habs play the smae speedy game u guys do, It's like making fun of yourself. Buffalo 5th next year mtl 2nd.

[ctess71]

HAHAHA Habs, good hit Patrick, almost as good of a hit as Brian Campbell on RJ Umberger. TSN guys stop crying. Habs maybe next time you can get past the Flyers. Since 98 how many times have the Habs made it to the playoffs?

[Theboy1086]

these guys are morons, kaleta has scored some goals hahaha he can use his stick they are just mad bc some montreal player cant skate with his head up

[redskinmid21]

haha dirty hit?? wel canadians r lil babbys wen it comes to hitting so who cares

[lt6501]

Canadians or Canadiens?

Either way, you're wrong. If you meant Canadians, well you kind of forgot Brian Campbell and Dion Phaneuf and like half of those big hitters out there.

If you meant Canadiens, well you forgot Komisarek finished in top 3 checkers this season.

And was it a dirty hit? Definately, and if you don't agree with that, learn to play hockey. I can see at least 3 reasons that alone would make it a dirty hit...1. it's aimed at the head, 2. Late on the play, 3. Elbow hit!

[lt6501]

was talking to redskinmid21

[gojacketsgo61]

dirty hit

[CodeRed1969]

Cry, every other team in the NHL is allowed to do this shit on our players so when we finally have someone on our team with balls to not take any shit and people cry. Montreal is a bunch of fucking babys anyways, keep dreaming about the cup because its not coming to you fags this year keep waving around those pink dildos at your home games.

[houseofthepower]

les habs sont dans le jeu 7

[dickiemoore]

GO HABS GO!!!

24 coupes Stanley en 98 ans! 1 coupe aux 4 ans!!

Les Sabres?! 0 coupe. lollllllllllllllllll

[LoveDanceAndHockey]

umm yea boo hoo and idk what "two hits" your talking about

[Deuce1566]

sorry bro I was answering to the person below you. Mustve accidentally hit your reply button.

[LoveDanceAndHockey]

o i c srry. and im a girl , not a bro

[LoveDanceAndHockey]

okay my dad,mom, and brother play hockey... we have enough hockey-based convos and i think that the NHLer's should remember back to what their pewee hockey coaches told them: if you don't keep ur head up then ur gonna get blasted. boo-hoo montreal. get a band aid. and if it hurts that bad, u should stop tryig to ditch the basic hockey rules and think ur all tough. kaleta is tough. so whatevs...cry me a river. GO BUFFALO!

[ooder1]

really..well all you sabres pussy's didn't stop bitching when neil hit drury but now that it's the other way around you defend kaleta, fucking hypocrite

[2R3AL]

Kaleta Rocks. When you get hate from every other fan base in the NHL, you know your doing something right. That a boy Kaleta! Keep dishing out hits so these cry babies have to buy a new tissue box weekly. Woot! Woot! lets keep the pansies out of hockey!

[Samael18]

Yeah and the Habs will kick your ass again!

[ooder1]

really..well all you sabres pussy's didn't stop bitching when neil hit drury but now that it's the other way around you defend kaleta, fucking hypocrite

[LoveDanceAndHockey]

i didnt bitch about drury now did i, get your story straight you dumbass

[ooder1]

not u personally obviously...i am talking about most sabres fans...it's not that hard to realize that's what i meant

[LoveDanceAndHockey]

you DID say "YOU" below. you did not say you guys (meaning sabres fans) so you must have been directing your comment to someone

[hockeyplar]

i think i saw you at the pre-walrus convention at the pelican factory.

[SabresFan6130]

yeah but was markovs forehead bleeding, did he need stitches for that hit and did he break any ribs?

[ooder1]

he was bleeding, but the hit was the same..it's not the injury it's the intent to injure that matters. If bertuzzi's hit didn't end up breaking moore's neck would it have been ligit? No because the intent to injure was still there

[SabresFan6130]

dont give me all this pussy shit. patrick kaleta is one of the cleanest,(and youngest) heavy hitters in the nhl. he isnt even fully assigned to the sabres yet. whats wrong with a bone crushing hit? well, if its on a player of a canadian team it matters, doesnt it? cuz canada just owns the nhl right? with its 5 teams? suck it up and take the hit, dick.

[ooder1]

lol bone crushing hit is fine..when it's clean dipshit...when a player has the puck and gets hit its fine..when the play is the other way and markov was looking at the play and kaleta takes advantage of that and hammers him that's not...wtvr even with the shitty reffing and your fluky ass goal we still embarassed your team, who will get much better at golfing this year

[SabresFan6130]

i hear montreal has gotten extremely well at golfing over the past few years. buffalo atleast made the playoffs and got far the past 2 years. and dont say anything about your 24 cups you won 200 years ago cuz ive heard enough about that shit. montreal hasnt been good since the last time thyve even one a cup. sure theyre doing good this year, better than my sabres, but dont expect to beat ottawa in the ECF's or detroit in the finals.

[ooder1]

actaully you know what i thought about that comment, and i take it back, i just said that cuz i was pissed off about that cheaps shot...major props to the sabres for conteding for the playoffs with half thier line up constantly missing...seriously thats major respect to lindy ruff

**no sarcasm

[hockeyplar]

not on a count of the gear.

[hockeyplar]

i totally agree with you excellent statement.

[hockeyplar]

please can you tell mother squall to go plop in a carton of dingos.

[SabresFan66]

Oh shut the fuck up you whining Canuckleheads. Nobody said shit when the same thing happened to Drury last year. Oh yeah that's right, it was from Chris Neil who happens to play for a Canadian team in Ottawa.

[TommyVenagence]

he did the same thing to paul mara on the rangers. mara is still out and this happened about 3 weks ago

[Marksad14]

kaleta sucks. i use to play pick up hockey with him in the summer when he was on the amerks. he has no fucking skill. he is just out there as a loose bull to get a good hit in once or twice a game.

[2R3AL]

And during the game you were most likely saying " dude you rock, can i have your autograph!". lol

[jonasbrossuckballs]

wow it was a hit to the head with his freakin shoulder it was clean ass hole frogs

[ooder1]

don't be so mad just because we embarrassed your loser team, and when you wind up like that to purposely hit someone in the head like that..then ya it's a dirty hit moron...learn something about hockey before speaking

[Beginstheman]

A dirty hit is a dirty hit, and a headshot on blind side should deserve longer suspensions. We thrashed on Neil last year because he did the same kind of play against Drury. So I agree with you: for anyone to say that was a clean shot, that's typical comment from a classless shite hocky fan from a classless shite hockey team.

[Deuce1566]

Boo Hoo? If you think thoes two hits were similar you obviously need to get your eyes check.

[LoveDanceAndHockey]

umm what 2 hits?

[vamosrafa07]

wow the old frog thing...

classy man, very classy.

Vous faites pitié.

[brooklyn450]

jonasbrossuckballs

fuckin computer faggot hide behind a computer and talkshit about frog when you just fuckin run in front off pusssyyyy your a big joke

[ooder1]

i still can't believe there was no penalty...not even a minor...what an asshole referee, it was such bad reffing that game...but waht i can believe was teh final score...6-2 :D

[jorekkeroj]

They guy should be suspended probably won't be. He had a dirty hit earlier in the week against Roszival of the Rangers he left his feet and lead with his elbow- no call! The other player wasn't even near the puck! I don't know why but this goon seems to be skating by without a look.

[jorekkeroj]

My mistake I was thinking of a different play. This guy hit Paul MAara and caused him to have to have surgery to repair facial damage. I realized my mistake when I saw th eother videos on the side. Sorry.

[ooder1]

what an asshole this fag kaleta...markov's head was up he just wasn't expected to get elbowed in teh face for no reason...not even a penalty for that...i'm happy we ripped teh sabres apart that game and that markov was fine

[TeamRehab]

Exactly. If you don't suspend Neil, you can't suspend Kaleta.

[ooder1]

personally i think neil should have been suspended because his hit was dirty, but just because neil got away with it why should this guy get away with it as well...Kaleta diserves a suspension...and an ass beeting as well :)

[TeamRehab]

Why does he deserve an ass beating?

[ooder1]

cuz he was a shit distruber the whole game...after that hit he was starting up teh whole game

[candi26anna]

Thats Kaleta's job!

[ooder1]

well he might be an instigator and piss people off...but if you do that and then throw a cheap shot like that...then you deserve an ass kicking

[pcvr1011]

I remember these same guys saying Neil's hit on Drury was clean and Drury should've kept his head up. Markov should've done the same.

[cacapipi0123]

wtf... are u saying

[TeamRehab]

Hypocrisy on the part of the announcing.

[ooder1]

why?

[KimmoKuopio]

Cheap shot.

[0v3rl0rdz]

should be suspended, you got this up really soon, could u post the latendresse fight?

[Teknics]

Didn't see it live, looks like a rough hit even if he had the puck the guy is looking down-ice already
