Desjardins slashes Gretzky 96-97 playoffs

[cornwallmaxgxl]

The great1 would have gotten 2 for diving.

[mckendo83]

haha when you slash someone on the arm they fall down??

[skangmox]

@mckendo83 you dont play hockey do you

[gun4hire]

Worst part of this video? Gretzky's skates.

[TheBlazen001]

best hockey player is jaromir jagr u retard,gretzky is just some polish shit!!

[MrJuha82]

Desjardins was underrated defenseman.

[Mraquanetchris]

@MrJuha82 Agreed big time. It was him and a bunch of substitute teachers through the Lindros era.

[Redwingsaretite]

lol

[jlow142795]

@Shhharted clearly tougher than u

[The403life]

that hurts soooo bad fuck anyone contradicts.

[backlash373]

MY ARMMMM MY ARMMM! MY HEAVILY GUARDED ARMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

[RickySouthwell]

@backlash373 you have obviously never played hockey before, there is no padding where he got hit

[backlash373]

@RickySouthwell i must have missed the part where your arm is connected to your leg...

[RickySouthwell]

@backlash373 like i said, you have obviously never played hockey before, there is no padding where he got hit and if you were paying attention then you would have seen that he was slashed in the lower arm

[sharkattack11647]

@backlash373 Hey theirs no padding their dumbass how about u try and play hockey before callin others out

[backlash373]

@sharkattack11647 Hey, he fell. It's his arm, i don't care if you're the size of Brad fucking Marchand. He took a dive like a giant pussy idc how great he is at hockey. It's being unsportsman like to begin with.

[sharkattack11647]

@backlash373 It s unsportsman like to go down when you get hurt but its not unsportsmanlike to slash sombodys arm ?

[MythzRivendare]

@backlash373 lol i bet you'd be crying like hell if you got slashed in the arm. It hurts, and it isnt padded at all.

[wungta]

respect has nothing to do with him being the greatest hockey player... the reason why the great one retired is because no one on the rangers ever enforced the way tthe game should be played to protect him! and that led to every player gettin a chance to chomp at him or take a slice, players like gretzky gotta be protected because they are that good at the game

[hellonicetomeetyou]

0:24 four hall of famers

[acomotoya]

@hellonicetomeetyou HELL YAH 

[Ruinedbad]

That's what you get for 93....

[LaLaLaLakeport99]

i remember seein this before....it's not like he was trying to slash his stick to prevent him from gettin the pass off....gretzky had already passed the puck, and the slash was nowhere near gretzky's stick....deliberate and dirty....i've always hated desjardins....all the way back since '93....fuckin fagget

[mcnallyrd3]

crosby will never be like gretzky. gretzky will always be the greatest of all time.

[liesinpale]

@mcnallyrd3 jealous much? crosby is better than anyone on your team. FACT.

[mcnallyrd3]

@liesinpale jealous? hardly hahaha cause i know just because he has one or 2 good seasons doesnt make him anything like gretzky. not even steve yzerman was that good. i can tell you this, i have zero respect for a 22 yr old kid who hasnt done anything close to what gretzky or yzerman have done.

[canadarock1]

i was born in 1996 :P

[CourtyardPigeon]

@canadarock1

the year of faggots

[76niro]

A 30 year old gretzky with a wooden stick would lead the nhl in points in today's hockey

[rediscapsshockey]

and who are you?

desjardins.

never heard.

i slashed gretzky once

oh yeah,gretzky,the great one,best scorer ever!

[ironmaidenfan6666]

@rediscapsshockey Maybe you have never heard of him but he was a great defenceman. Plus he was an important part of the 1993 Stanley cup win by the habs. I think he will be a lot more remembered for his performance during the 93 playoffs than for this penalty...

[jr0014]

Get up wayne it's not soccer

[h95740]

dirty fuck>>>> go gretzky

[MrKillenmeskillen]

" The Great One" pffft.....

He would not last a period in todays Hockey, if he would be treated like all the other players of his days and get the same amount of slashes and hits against him he would not even reached the 600 goals marker. But just because he was "sooo good" noone was alowed to hit him.......

And BugsMeaney, you got a really good point there, -" Ouch my arm! god, i can't move my legs!"

And Pika740, open your eyes and realise the truth, #99 was and is OVERRATED

[supersayensonic]

@MrKillenmeskillen lol in today's pussified nhl with no hooking and grabbing? gretzky would do just as well dumbass

[Schelby14]

@MrKillenmeskillen

Coming from the Swed? LOL! You wanna talk about hitting? You're Swedish. Come to Canada and see how you'd hold up.

[BugsMeaney]

so are Wayne's wrists connected to his legs? if no, then why is he rolling around like a pussy? get to the bench you wuss. if yes, are they connected to his vagina as well?

[Tha4thLetterr]

I like this

[Nathanwmang]

I know the feeling and I don't blame or think he's a pussy for dropping like that. If you ever got slashes like that you wouldn't blame him either.

[xVincex8]

2 min for diving

[nyr9teen9d4]

@xVincex8 stfu your moms a niggerfucker

[xVincex8]

@nyr9teen9d4

? mmmm i'm not black , and.... how old are you kid?

[CourtyardPigeon]

I have been slashed exactly like that and I can tell you it hurts like a bitch...there's no protection of that bone and it is instant shooting pain

[MrJuha82]

Should to think accurately what is doing on the ice, shouldnt slashes and cheap shotted.

Desjardins was mostly smart,clean player but in this situation he lost totally his nerve-control.

[trulysarcastic]

@MrJuha82 if it was anyone other then Gretzky, you wouldn't think anything of it. You see slashes like that every game

[jlafica7]

The reason that you see more of the skilled players getting injured is because they're the only ones worth targeting... maybe that's why people think that the best players are the weak ones since they're injured more often from flagrant plays like this. I mean honestly, who's gonna go after a player like... craig conroy? What's the point? He's not a factor so he's not worth trying to take out

[Flerg3]

or craig mctavish

[jlafica7]

@Flerg3 Haha exactly

[gobblemygo]

wah wah wah gretzky pussy

[ISteppedOnATurd]

Dive.

[ACLCRL]

omg

[Pika740]

People these days have no respect. The greatest hockey player of all time get slashed and everybody calls him a pussy crybaby diver.

Real class there kids.

[gobblemygo]

cause he is a crybaby and a diver. the refs used to protect him so much

[Pika740]

No he was not, and please, do not talk any more, you seem to think star players who get pushed around are "crybaby divers."

[gobblemygo]

well seeing as how ovie and sid have had diving penalties called against them yes i do think they are divers.. i think crosby is a crybaby cause he's constatly talking to the refs after plays complaining.. thers no room for that in hockey.. but i think ovie's tough hes a great all around player.. youd know if u took sids cock outta your mouth for a couple mins.

[Pika740]

Ah, Ovie fanboy. Ovie can't play defence for shit he takes shots from everywhere, makes bad hits. He is really overrated.

Crosby is a fucking Captain, he has to talk to the refs. Don't talk until you know what you are talking about.

I never even mentioned anything about Crosby before either so you should keep your mouth shut.

[jlafica7]

@Pika740 Yep, he takes shots from everywhere, and he scores from everywhere. so... that's not really making your case

[Pika740]

Um, no. Just stay quiet.

[jlafica7]

@Pika740 That's all you can say? Haha tool. Great argument buddy. Don't bother replying again. I'm not interested

[Pika740]

Don't take my argument, because it won't work for you.

His shooting percentage is garbage lol

AND he has plenty of players to feed him the puck for easy tip-ins.

But I bet you're one of those people who shit your pants whenever Ovie gets the puck.

He can't even play fucking defence.

[jlafica7]

@Pika740 Whether or not he has good defensive ability is up for debate, but he has the highest +/- in the league so it doesn't really matter that much if he's not the best one on one defensive player. You know what they say, the best defense is a good offense. I said I wouldn't respond if you said something again, but your arguments are just so easy to dismantle I can't help myself.

[Pika740]

Plus minus is a really bad individual stat to follow, it really just reflects your linemates and a team's defensive ability.

[xjedimindx]

Pika740

Now you dont know what you are talking about. hes not the best at defense but you dont get 43+ if you dont have any defensive skills..

A Great goalscorer and playmaker that do good enough in defense, He is not in the Caps to defend he is a goalscorer and a rly good1:)

[Pika740]

Most of Caps roster has a great plus minus too, did you forget that?

Anyone who knows stats knows +/- is not a good stat to judge talent on; I can continue to repeat myself if you want.

[xjedimindx]

@pika

Well yeah maybe not but how do you know who is a great player dont most goals most points count for nothing... rookie of the year as a rookie and well I dont know,

And if he aint a good player who is? can you pls tell me that so I know how a good player looks like

[Pika740]

I never said he wasn't good, in fact I never said anything about Ovie in the beginning.

I started with Gretzky then someone mentioned Ovie being better than Crosby and xfd at that.

[mandregan4]

uh not to instigate but isnt OVIE a captain too

[Pika740]

Yes, it's his job too. But it's Crosby job to talk to the refs also.

Not a problem if he does it more.

[poopyodb]

@Pika740 everyone is a kid except you?

[Pika740]

@poopyodb

Now where did I imply that? I didn't, try harder.

[Nathanwmang]

@poopyodb That's a very childish question.

[hockey17jp]

@Pika740 i know what your saying, wayne gretzky is the best player ever to play the game.... but he got slashed in the wrist/arm sure that would hurt, but his LEGS were fine, so why didnt he just get up and go to the bench? i think thats why at least some of the people are calling him a crybaby

[steven4rmnewyork]

@Pika740 he's the greatest yeah sure thats if mario lemieux played another 5 years in the nhl he would have not only broke or tied his every records he would have destroyed them and you know it..not for nothing gretzky was a pussy faggot who was shown way to much respect he was the size of kariya and kariya was played like everybody else and he suffered 9 concussions if they played gretzky the same way he would have been out of the league loong long time ago and you know it

[Pika740]

@steven4rmnewyork

Gretzky wasn't immune to being targeted.

/watch?v=pEajdo2sVnw

/watch?v=72oxwUo1T9E&NR

The second one Gretzky came back and played concussed. If you're calling him a pussy I'd advise you to shut the fuck up because Lemieux would of never done that.

Plus, 90-97 points in the dead puck are as a 37 year old. You're really selling him short.

[Snapscape]

@Pika740 Probably because he got slashed on the hand and not on the leg. When tough players get slashed on the hand they don't sprawl all over the ice as if their legs were broken. It's not hard to skate to the bench. Zednik did it with a cut neck. Gretzky always flopped to the ice whenever he got hurt somewhere and then looked for the officials to see if they were coming to change his diaper.

[Greedypro123]

@Snapscape He's the single greatest offensive hockey player of all time and will be until the day you die, faggot.

[Snapscape]

@Greedypro123 Those records of his are going down one by one. I seriously doubt he would be so great if he went up against goalies who's equipment blocked the entire net. Could explain why his goal average dropped so much with the equipment changes. Moron.

[musicaldopeable]

@Snapscape he did more with less games and less rules. shut the fuck up kid nobody is better

[Snapscape]

@musicaldopeable Yeah, he did better when they allowed hooking. More rules makes it harder to play freely as they did when he played. Suck me sideways.

[musicaldopeable]

@Snapscape Clearly you don't play hockey. its a lot easier to score when people arent even allowed to put a stick on your hands, then when people could slash and hack you all they wanted pretty much. and your argument is crap because more rules means more penalties and therefore more goals!!

[Snapscape]

@musicaldopeable I do play hockey. Back when Gretzky played the goalie equipment wasn't nearly as large. You don't see large scoring games like in the 80's. The rules forces the league to remove the red line to increase scoring but it's still not nearly like it was back then. Btw, more penalties means more players willing to break the rules which most players try not to do if they want to win hence low scoring games.

[cpari]

@Pika740 Its because they only sit in home and they have no life. Back in the days we fck*d them kids up so bad that they couldn't speak for a month if they shouted out that kinda arguments.

[Kaveriini]

ha haa!! fucking pussyassmotherfucker :D

[lizzard9610]

lmao purple and swollen to the max maybe your ass.

[whatgamesnext]

pussy

[gobblemygo]

hahah more of a poke check...

[jlow142795]

wow thats so fake. i got slashed way harder than that on my forearm when i played hockey. right on the bone, where i had no padding whutsoever. my knees didnt fuckin buckle. went str8 2 the bench pulled my sleeve up n my arm was purple n swollen 2 the max. went right back out the next shift n played the game i luv

[murrough12]

How the fuck you know how hard that slash was? :D

[jlow142795]

lol cause it didnt look very hard

[jpzzzz]

And were you the greatest scorer of all time by any chance? Were you playing against NHL-strong opponents? I'm not saying he's not faking, but you should shut up cauz thoses guys are bigger than the one who slashed you im sure.

Thank you

[jlow142795]

@jpzzzz lol

[plan9misfits]

yeah, let's debate which retired player was better! rich pilon ruled mike ricci. suck on that!

[MrBarelylethal]

it was jagr played his entire NHL career without serious injury and mario missed some games for it

[MrBarelylethal]

cause mario's wrist was made of glass

[tjackson76]

he was never the same after that

[Kainnmaul]

Since when doesnt getting slashed on the arm make your knees buckle?

[allhockey]

so this is where crosby gets his style

[lespaul12001]

@allhockey

definently not

[sfp4dvm]

wah wah wah wah. what a crybaby gretzky was. it was definately a slash but c'mon, you're a hockey player for fucks sake.

[mase5701]

that happened after his comeback right?

[talg111]

thats y i like lemieux better (sorry if spelled wrong) he doesnt shy away from contact. Hence i prefer ovechkin to crosby. how can u call someone who weighs like 100 pounds and is like 5"3 the great one

[MrBarelylethal]

wtf lemuix was a fucking diver and gretzky was 6ft and 175 pounds dumbass so gtfo lemuix was a pussy and made of glass. gretzky is the great one he barley missed a game dumbass

[blast2hart37]

you do know that if lemieux never had any problems with cancer or anything he was have been the best?

[MrBarelylethal]

wow your grammer, and your wrong anyway

[eldapeeze]

yup "the great one" the great diver

[Fitzwolf22]

WAAAAAAAA

[SparkMan527]

loserr

[ranger220022]

he stayed down for that? i play in goal and had a puck hit the side of my legg on knee bone and i finished the game of shinny,

Yeah he is a wuss,great player but was in the wrong league if he wanted to play pond hockey.

[oehieze]

and you're who again?... oh wait that's right....nobody ha!

[ovydell]

Greatzky was a wuss!
