[anthonyab1984]

Always remember you in detroit classy!

[teden20]

I miss Vladdie. Very much.... Vlad... where are you?

[TheFatComunist]

THE VLADIATOR!!!!!!



[fatriani]

this is from 97? really? both those guys were in their primes in the 70s and early 80s

[evilTaker90]

@fatriani Vladdy was in his prime right here

[evilTaker90]

@fatriani Vlad had his best season in 96-97

[fatriani]

@evilTaker90

yes i was thinking of fetisov by mistake. HE is the old one. vlad just looks really old from being 2 MANly

[evilTaker90]

@fatriani Yeah :P

[2000amp]

Haha MacTavish coming in for a cross check from behind, haha jokes on you, you no good washed up coach/sports commentator.

[molonlave2010]

The guy who nearly took his life away should be shot to death.

[sergeontheloose]

Textbook body check by Konstantinov, with the opposing guy doing the sommersault.

He used to do it a lot while playing for the Red Army against other north american clubs. Unfortunately there is no youtube evidence of them.

God bless Vladdie!

[milleniumfalcon79]

there was no hit at all, just protecting the puck from opponent ) great vid thx

[salvationracer]

clipping

[slake487]

konstantinov was going for the puck and in the process protected himself from oncoming mctavish in the best way possible. Textbook :)

[calumsensible]

How awesome would it be to put Vladdy and Kronwall on the same D line?

[Jschwan1]

@calumsensible holy fuck the other team would just turn around and skate away lol

[CoreyPerrySucks]

Absolutely nothing wrong with that hit. Vladdy beat him there and was just protecting the puck. Love ya Vladdy you are missed here in The D

[atranos]

I love Vladi. But that's a dirty hit. Low, low clipping.

[evilTaker90]

@atranos Umm it wasnt dirty.Vladdy just stopped nothing wrong with it

[DetroitTigersFan187]

Thumbs up if you thought this video had Soap McTavish from MW2!

[kneedragger81]

that was the slickest hip check i have ever witnessed! fuckt him up!

[Tunnel51]

Clean hit. MacTavish was a moron for counting on his hairspray to protect his head from the ice.

[kneedragger81]

@Tunnel51 but what i just realized......Vladi had control of the puck when he did that....he like cut him off and stopped...controlled the puck and let McTavish fall over him....made him look 1 step behind.

[cursedlemon]

@Tunnel51 lmfao

[bigperm16blk]

i wish the wings had a vladdie type guy on the squad now its too bad. he still had plenty of good hockey left in him. GO WINGS!!! past present and future

[Element78SM]

The Vladinator!! Him and Lidstrom came in around the same time... Imagine if those two could have played together all these years. The 98 Cup celebration with Vladdie in the wheelchair may have been one of the most honorable things I've seen... Yet also the saddest.

[ripsnorter419]

wasn't even a hit.. mctavish fell over him.. and he took exception to what? him trying to run him over from behind and konstantinov being smarter that that? lol

[relam13]

That hit probably made MacTavish regret never wearing a helmet.

[dburt0021]

Nothing beats hockey players policing themselves (not like the crap we have now). How I yearn for these days again. Belle Tire!

[Zilla2251]

Little Craig didn't like bouncing on his head. Too bad. Vlad! Great stuff.

[mujinnokoya]

Vladdie, nice hit, Nice reaction by McTavish too.

[Beaupre911]

Damn mofo got ate. GO VLADDIE

[Castboi123]

ATTA BOY VLADDIE!!!!

[tool987ja]

I love how Vlad dodges the guy trying to check him and the dude just flies right over him

[bishoppx]

VLADDIE
