One line was on one minute prior and 30 seconds after this hit (from nhl.com). They were: #54 - Grabovski, #73 - Ryder, #26 - Georges, #32 - Streit, and #51 Boullion (plus Price). I can't tell who it is, but it's not Koivu or Begin. My guess is Grabovski.
@corunguneee Nah man, I don't know who you are trying to fool here, but it's clear that the guy who delivered this check came from the bench, hence it would mean that Koivu's line was changing while in the offensive zone, giving way to another one. I'm pretty sure that is Steve Bégin, it suits him more and he was playing for Montreal back at the time. He did lots of hits like this, it was his trademark, kinda like Scott Steven's open ice hits on the blue line. I'm pretty sure I see #22, not #11.
@corunguneee Also the commentators seem to be mentionning Begin's name as the hit is delivered and I do believe they are about to say he's going to get a penalty as the video ends. It sounds more like Bergeron but there wasn't a Bergeron on either side of the ice so the closest thing would be Begin, they just didn't know how to mention the guy's name. I can't say for 100% sure it's Begin, but I'm 100% sure it's not Koivu. Next time make your vids with a higher quality to avoid people like me. :P
@MyHeadAsplodes They're talking about MA Bergeron. This happened trade deadline 2008 when the Islanders traded Chris Simon (who the commentators mention) and Bergeron. It's Koivu, his linemates are on the ice. Begin didn't play on the first line with Higgins and like I said, I watched this game and uploaded it that day. no one can even tell what # it is, how do you know it isn't 11 lol. Is it because you don't think Koivu hits because: watch?v=nQOuw2PnMk4
Not sure why so many negatives on this one...Saku took a good run at him andbarely caught him. More of that spin and fall was avoiding the hit than the'hit' itself.
ur a fuckin frog bud go back to playing hockey on ur fucking nintendo u little bitch, this is youtube not montreal's web site and im not a fuckin leaf fan idiot, so u go back to playing with urself you little fuck and look at the video dumbass its a clear elbow his fuckin arm is way out. cocksucker go back to atom hockey cunt.
i remember mclaren, not on the bruins anymore, and that was his only dirty play...not to take away from how bad it was...i think people really exaggerate chara as dirty...its more him using his size to his advantage than being dirty...i mean, he does commit his occasional uncessary penalty, but to call him a dirty player? ...and lucic running price, got no clue what you're talking about there. and im sorry about the koivu comment, it was a joke gone too far...i don't wish cancer upon anyone.
but ya i deffintly would not mind having chara on my team though
sometimes it looks like he elbows people in teh head on purpose but other times it looks like he can't help it lol..and people say he likes to fight but i really don't think so. I think he is thrown into fights and forced into them due to his size, if you know what I mean.
i guess my comment before was blow out of proprotion there by me lol
yes I agree Koivu did start skating pretty fast, but Atlanta had a rush coming, and koivu is a fast skater period. He doesn't run away from anyone. If u saw the habs and koivu crush the bruins, you would see koivu in chara's face all the time.
dont call me a retard bud i bet i know alot more than u about hockey, faggot did i say one thing about him being dirty i said hes a little bitch who throughs elbows and choose the right player?, what do u have down sindrom i clearly stated THAT KOIVU IS A BITCH and think im talking about other players?, look at the video homo its koivu or wait its gotta be in french for u to understand it right?
first of all i am not french, i know it might surpirse you that other people know more than one language.
second of all you clearly don't know jack shit about hockey if you are calling koivu a bitch because he isn't
other than this one play, which was badly calculated, he does not throw elbows or "wait for his opportunity" when i said pick the right player i meant that if you want to call someone a bitch at least call someone who actually is one sorry if that confused you to much.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
first of all im canadian, second of all koivu is a bitch he sits back and waits for a chance. and fuck off with saying i dont know shit about hockey ive been playing it since i was 5. and its been said many times that fucking montreal fans are the most stupid, rude, and arogent fans. i went to a game in montreal and the best cheer the stupid frogs could come up with was "go leafs suck",ur the one who dosent know fuck all about hockey because u seem to think that elbowing is a part of the game.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
montreal and toronto have split arenas every time they play, and if koivu didn't have his elbow out his ass would be on the ground, its sad when u elbow someone and the impact isnt that big and when the fans were chanting this sad cheer we were up 3-1 and were top 4 in the confrence so ur team is pretty fucking stupid, i didnt mean to affend u but from every game ive seen koivu play he acts as a sneak player who gets garbage goals. and im sick of arguing over koivu and montreal, i hate them both
k look leafsnation if u dont like saku koivu...is that are problem ur a leafs fan so wtfs the point in coming on here saying "bitch koivu"?? like no one cares..ud be better off doing some of ur daily hobbies such as -sucking ur mom,eating ur own fist,or well u probably know the rest so just fuck off KOIVU ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's ridiculous.
1) The guy is clearly bigger than Koivu
2) His jersey number is not 11. You can see it when he spins after the check.
It's not Koivu.

Saku is physical player, but not hitter/fighter type.
He plays well in offense and defense too, but nowadays his play isn't so great on the other hand i know.
