Martins Karsums and Tobias Enstrom collision

[Silvijs]

He watched back, he knew what`s coming and he chose this, nothing special as Atis would say. Clean and beautiful.

[BAUERGOALIE97]

@Silvijs How can you say this is clean and beautiful???

It's a hit from behind!

idiot

[Silvijs]

@BAUERGOALIE97 god damnt.. he saw what`s coming, he`s a professional, he had to be ready for it.

[BAUERGOALIE97]

@Silvijs you still can't hit someone like that...

[BAUERGOALIE97]

@Silvijs /watch?v=hWfp_GlCWlA&feature=r­elated

[Silvijs]

@BAUERGOALIE97 of course accidents do happen, but there was nothing wrong in this video.

[oliver155]

Are you all fuckin stupid? This is a hit from behind : dangerous and illegal! And I'm from North America and I like rough (but clean) hockey! But that's cheap...

[SpotifyLegenden]

latvia cant push from side, need to go " from behind ".

[Ron4aaa]

KARSUMS VECIS!

[zetterburg40]

Dirty hit. Was up high in the numbers, ver dangerous.

[MrSmithDynamite]

it's hockey! 

[Faccan]

there was nothing regular in that checking! first and worst of all! CHECKING FROM behind!

yeah latvia won! first and last time against sweden ever! learn to live and play in the 2011. and I read that someone say, it always so in NHL!! but it is NHL now or World hockey games?? hmm big question there huh??

[artursLatvija]

Enstrom was just not right skating in that moment

[puttje1]

haha my cousin <3 him

[LonewolfAKAProTecTor]

Tobias got Pwnd

[klinehockey24]

@LonewolfAKAProTecTor

that was a fucking cheap shot asshole...

[chiekurs16]

@klinehockey24 Cheap ??? There wasnt even a penalty however. But who cares dirty or not anyway Latvia won.

[milbergs1992]

Look how worried about Enstrom is Karsums!

[viewer8D]

don't crouch near the board, we ain't playing limbo here

[TheAlvixx]

karsum bumaje karsum bumaje

[GachoMachoMan]

karsums labakais!!!

[nauriskify]

so? no one cares how tall is he. when he is playing, he has got no discount due to his small size. on the ice, everyone has the same rules.

[xice7x]

yeah what "xjedimindx" said. he's completely right. and just so all of you morons know, Enstrom is about 5'9 maybe 5'10. he's one of the smallest Defensemen in the NHL, and one of the most underrated.

[10bruinsfan10]

@xice7x your dumb

[cyrexlatvia]

@xice7x

And Karsums is super large and tall?

[pafal]

A hit from behind is a hit from behind...

[GaraisJanko]

It is Enstroms fault, he knew that he would get hit, instead avoiding he went into boards, also it's nothing dirty u see hits like that daily of course u may get 2 min for charging or boarding here refs decided hit is not worth penalty

[nauriskify]

stupid enstrom. he knew that Karsums was skating behind him, and you know what North American hockey player does in the boards. But enstrom better bend down, so Karsums can knockout him. good job, Karsums!

[BAUERGOALIE97]

@nauriskify Good job? he was braking and he just hit him from behind

[Chimaty1]

Tobias ir tāds idiots tapēc ka viņš redzot Karsums tik un tā saliecās un tikpat kā ļāva lai Karsums viņi izsmērē pret bortu.

[Chimaty1]

Tobias is an idiot because he saw so Card and bent, and almost led to Karsums izsmērē against them overboard.

[xjedimindx]

@chimaty1

Well he needs to break there they come whit high speed against the boards and karsums know that he needed to break but karsums didnt do it anyway and goes straight in to his back, Shows no respect for enström and a "proffesional" hockey player like him knows that this kind of hits can seriously injury ppl.. Not cool^^

[cyfer911]

fuck you, we won

[xjedimindx]

Thats an ugly and brutal check from behind maybe a charging to. not a nice clean hit., Shud get game for that1 but didnt get a 2min.. embarrassing

[THATS311COOL]

Poor Enstrom.

[zozefs]

K.O.  welcome in Latvia :D

Like a shit got down :D:D:D:D:D:D

[zozefs]

NIce sweden sucks :D K.O.

[ZykeYork]

Yea but karsums get one fucking more game penalty just som games later !!!

[cyfer911]

fuck this shit, Latvia played a good game and this is a part of real hockey match, more of this, less the whining about how harsh was that... don't like strong sport? Go play chess..

[xjedimindx]

well its a huge diffrence between this and strong. I love hits but this is rly dangerous he cud have been seriously hurt, Just broke a bone in his face there. He goes in straight from behind whit high speed, and little enstrom dont have a chanse to hold himself from the boards.. lack of respect there from karsums

[Edmisco]

LOL Enstrom is just FAIL... Search at youtube ther is like 10 videos the same hit on Enstrom... :D :D

[Floydforward]

He´s just another stupid communist-fuck that once again proved how lousy hockeyplayers Latvia really is, he knew exactly how close to the wall they were but yet he didnt take precausions..

[cyfer911]

oh since when is Latvia communist.. nothing like that .. that comment is just fail

[Strayeed]

0:58 - HE DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS. Ernstrōm braked, Karsums didn't had time to brake..thats all. no one wanted that.

[pencele]

enstrom forget about nhl

[Swecan76]

I have never seen a more clear case of boarding.

It was a textbook call for boarding.

Offending player charging the boarded player into the board full force and from about 4 feet away from behind.

Sure it was unfortunate the head was low, but he was stopping and ended up in a lower position for it.

A Canadian player Hamhuis did the same thing against Latvia and he got 2+10 min boarding call.

How typical eh, I guess Latvia didn't argue against that one, fucking hypocrite's.

[bonelov]

Ice hockey with out Karsums is figure-skating!!!

[Swecan76]

So I guess Latvia was figure skating against us (Canada) in the quarter final , ha ha.

Karsums didn't play in that game.

Latvia is a second rate hockey nation, until it can prove itself by winning gold, or at the very least any medal.

Sorry but that is how it goes.

[SkullCandyoo]

how can you even say something about Latvia? you have around 200 000 registred hockey players we have 4600 ?And we lose only 4:2 ?

[Swecan76]

Honestly, I think it is nice Latvia is getting better in hockey.

The reason why I get pissed off and say things like I did, is because of some of the comments I see made by Latvians.

What happened in the hit on Enstrom was unfortunate but people saying Enstrom should keep his head up is going about it the wrong way.

That makes it sound that is a player ever has his head down it is OK to do whatever you want.

Karsums should have eased off cause he saw what would happen since the head was low.

[Swecan76]

Accidents do happen, but blaming the victim and making fun of him saying keep you head up is just plain stupidity.

It makes Latvians look bad, like a second rate hockey nation.

In NHL Karsums would be out on game penalty more than likely.

Boarding would probably be the call or charging.

Then again at times nothing happens.

Still there are limits to what is allowed, and saying keep your head up does not mean you can do whatever you want.

[Robs293]

Big man, uh? Because a few stupid punks on Internet calling country 2nd rate hockey nation? When 90% of Latvians felt sorry? What about Heatley saying he has heard Russia has a quite good team? ;) The same arrogance will get you in Vancouver. Keep producing little wussies and crybaybies like Stamkos, Tavares, Toews etc and you will be winning nothing for a long time. Lost in Buttman's world, Canada. I can feel the grief and desperation wrapped around Canada next February.

[Swecan76]

Robs293 :

When you actually have a team to be reckoned with , get back too me.

Canada is a great hockey nation.

Russia is great as well, Sweden is 3rd.

Latvia is barely on the list.

Stamkos, Tavares and Toews are all better players than Latvia could dream of ever having.

So many you can't hardly name them all.

What about Phanuf , Staal, never mind.

But once again who the hell are you talking to us about winning, tell me when was the last time Latvia even got bronze?

O wait, never?

[Robs293]

Yeah, Stamkos and Tavares are great stickhandlers and skaters... and also they are wuss and hasn't got any grit. Thats what Canada is producing nowadays - 5'10' tall crybabies. Your league is dominated by forigners and your biggest star is a whiner and diver. All you have left is calling Latvia 2nd rate hockey nation, because there is no way you will win in Vancouver. And in your list you forgot to include US. They are weaker than Russians, but as good as Canada. Only a bit gritier

[Swecan76]

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.

Sure Canada doesn't have any tough players at all.

See comments like that just prove how ignorant you are.

First off, the greatest players are not the brute's that just deal out body checks.

The greatest one ever Gretzky was never a physical player, he played the puck.

Crosby might be a whiner but still he produces, second highest in points this year.

Name a Latvian that has done that.

Only good Latvian ever is Arturus Irbe.

Look up Georges Laraque.

[Swecan76]

Here is a little video compilation of the CANADIAN Georges Laraque and his fights.

/watch?v=GacYEtfI8MM

Let me know when Karsums can handle him or the shitload of other Canadian players.

[Robs293]

Oh, you are dumb and know no hockey. Probably 33 years old living in mother's basement, shoud've seen it.. If there is one component where Latvia's top guy can even think coming close to Canada than it's enforcing. Check Ivanans you stupid fart. And what do you think - Laraque is going to play in Olympics?? I am talking about how tough elite players are, not about some enforcer. And nobody in Latvia even dreams about competing with Canada. Have some dignity and self respect

[Robs293]

If you say 'ever' do some research. Of course we have only few good players, but Sandis Ozolinsh is a Stanley Cup winner and 5 time All Star, also nominated for Norris trophy. Karlis Skrastins holds the record for the most back-to-back games among all defensmen in NHL. Helmut Balderis was named the best player in the world back in Soviet times. All these players can be called at least good. But this is obvious that you dont know much about hockey and I think you are not too bright overall too.

[Swecan76]

Oh I forgot about a few Latvian players, there are so very few of them I didn't bother.

Now still trying to compare yourself to Canada in hockey skill and toughness is just plain silly.

Do you really think Canadian players aren't tough enough to deal with any hockey nation.

Are you that dumb, where do you think that started, in CANADA.

Laraque was just an example.

Shit even Sweden has though players now, like Murray and Kronwall.

Kronwall almost took Martin Havlats head off yesterday.

[Robs293]

Damn, youre retarded. I never ever try to compare Latvia to Canada. You are trying to do it, that looks stupid. I compared Canada to other big hockey countries. Ok, anyways, youre not getting it, take care Beavis

[Swecan76]

It is quite simple really.

If you say Canada is producing wussy players , then I would respond by saying come back to me when you as a nation have better players.

You have no right to even talk about Canada or other hockey nations and how good or not they are until you have some pedigree of your own.

Why should I respond about Russian players, I am not talking to a Russian.

You can't hide behind other great hockey nations as comparison.

This was Karsums .

Second rate player, all he's good for.

[Swecan76]

Oh, BTW , nice ad Hominem attacks.

They usually appear when you run out of proper comments.

Lets see I'm dumb, a retard, Beavis, punk.

I guess I can't expect more intelligent comments from you.

Keep trying though I'm sure one day you will pass the Beavis and Butthead phase and actually grow up ;-).

[Robs293]

First EUROPEAN born player to do so. Pretty good for the 2nd rate player. Do you know what Memorial Cup is at all?

[Robs293]

During 2005-06 season Karsums scored 65 points and helped his Moncton Wildcats to win Jean Rougeau Trophy and President's Cup. He also received Guy Lafleur Trophy as playoff most valuable player, scoring 27 points in 22 games and was the first European born player to do so. Eight of his 16 post-season goals have proven game-winning goals, including three of the four game-winners in the championships series

He played in the 2006 Memorial Cup and scored 1 goal and had 3 assists in five games

[Swecan76]

Yet this Karsums is a nobody in NHL.

CHL, OHL and the quebec league is not NHL.

Let me know if he wins any NHL trophies.

The first successful European player to even play in NHL was a Swede , Borje Salming.

He is in Hockey Hall of Fame.

He is also elected to the IIHF centennial All Stars team in 2008.

He scored 78 points as a defenseman and did regularly get high points.

THIS IS NHL not the farmer league's.

I'm more impressed with Sandis and Arturus.

[stevieray351]

swecan76 sweden had though players? do you mean tough idiot

[Swecan76]

Kinda ironic, lol.

How about you? You should learn to start sentences with a capitol letter, bitch!

Also, it is not "do you mean" it's "Did you mean".

This discussion took place over a month ago, hence paste tense.

Make sure to check "your own backyard" before dishing out grammar corrections.

I just made you my bitch, how about that?

[stevieray351]

Paste tense?????Did you mean past tense you dumfuck!

[Swecan76]

LOL.

I guess we could be doing this forever.

You just called me "dumfuck", it is spelled DUMB not dum.

I guess that makes you the DUMB fuck?

[stevieray351]

It was a typo.....i know how to spell dumb unlike you that can't even spell past.

[Swecan76]

Hypocrisy, look it up .

Did it ever occur to you that me typing "paste" was also a typo?

You're too easy, I've been pulling your strings all along and you're too dumb to even notice.

You keep sending me PM's as well, ha ha.

I can picture you sitting there all steamed up and angry.

[Swecan76]

I almost forgot:

Once again you don't know how to spell.

When will you ever learn how to use upper case letters at the start of a sentence.

Further more you keep typing "i" when clearly in the English language you always type it with an upper case letter "I" no matter where in the sentence it is placed.

Run along now, scoot.

[stevieray351]

By the way its spelled capital letters, not capitol letters shithead.

[lacore1988]

haha you're both jack twats. since when is it cool to be all extra good at spelling and grammar? hows your masters degree coming along in enligh ? you tool

[Swecan76]

In case you haven't noticed our comments were made a month ago.

This is over and done with, you're a little late for the party.

I have to applaud you on your perfect grammar.

Every sentence started without a capitol letter.

I will assume you made it that way on purpose?

I mean no one would be that dumb they would respond talking about grammar and then spell like an 8 year old child.

Have a nice life Jack ass.

[lacore1988]

Actually, as you are trying to correct me you spell CAPITOL .. it's CAPITAL haha you fucking retarded dense cunt.. also i never once claimed to "out spell" or "out grammar" anyone here.. i was making fun of you fucking faggots.. since when can you "own" someone by out spelling them? You just correct peoples spelling so you feel important and special for a second in your poor pathetic worthless life. You are a fucking stupid jackass, stop trying you worthless cunt .

[Swecan76]

Ha ha I knew it would work.

See I baited you, dumb ass.

I knew I could make you "correct" me as well.

Now welcome to the club.

I guess you're too fucking dumb to realize what just happened.

Yes I'm important, and I know I'm better than you.

I own you in fact, made you my bitch in baiting your ass.

Now I also know you will reply, and I will frustrate the shit out of you.

You can't spell and you are obviously an idiot.

Funny how you correct me and still not print in capital letters.

[lacore1988]

YEAH BECAUSE ITS SO FUCKING COOL TO BE ABLE TO TYPE GOOD..  Do you know how terribly gay and pathetic you are? seriously, you fail. I could give a shit less about how good you can spell.. that means you are a socially akward faggot thats never had a friend.. Are you afraid to go into public?

[Swecan76]

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!

I told ya, now your mine sucker!

You even posted twice, I knew I would upset you.

The rain of pathetic cuss words are fucking hilarious.

You don't seem to realize this is internet, I don't know you and I don't give a shit what you say.

What is funny is I make you go through the trouble of replying and saying all these worthless things.

That's the bait!

Let's see if you reply to this comment as well, that would be even more proof I keep baiting you and own you.

[lacore1988]

Oh and im totally sure you "baited" me with that one.. LMAO you are fucking stupid as shit.. i would beat the living piss out of your brains

[stevieray351]

isnt Anze Kopitar latvian too? i could be wrong

[befreenightmare]

go Karsums< :D :D

[Swecan76]

I find it funny when everyone says this was a fair body check.

This was a clear boarding call, he didn't try and stop and he saw the Swede with his body and head low.

Everyone bitched about Murray doing the hit on Morozov and it was legal and not even close as in bad as this one.

These second rate hockey nations need to learn how to play hockey, or at least acknowledge that it was bad hit.

[Swecan76]

Sweden had their second rate team.

This is not the best Sweden have to offer, some are decent players , some haven't been tested fully yet.

Still Sweden's second rate team is at least playing for bronze.

Where is Latvia?

Yeah so until you actually become a nation to reckon with you are just second rate, in fact probably not even that.

I have to say you are improving but that is about it.

When you start showing respect and hockey knowledge , you get some.

It was a dirty hit, he had time to stop

[swede215]

yes but he tried stop but karsums didn:t try to stop he just ran over enstrom thaths just isnt fair

[caps9999999]

where is the boarding call?

[solsisod]

i heard that enstrom had broken jaw in ten places is that true?

[sujajajjaakakajjs]

no, 1

[swede215]

karsums is a fucking idiot he is the worst player ever

[Piv4eG]

Enstrom saw that ther's going to be collision, so get over it! Everything was fair!

[latvietis84]

search in youtube video Ovechkin hits Skarstins!!

then you will se how to take on hit. not with head down like sweed

[lirremannen]

You mean like Morozov took Murray´s tackle last world cup ?

[eve210279]

It is not a walk in a park or dancing on ice, shit happens, deal with it!!

[PIRAKAS666]

OMG it is a hockey girls not a fucking ballet, don't be a such pussy's!

[bositis]

o yeah half of u all r just idiots there!did anybody of u all try ever play hockey?i guess not!so shut the fuck up!loosers!

[DEEJAYsJanis]

LATVIA rulz!!!!!

[joachimerkonge]

dette er ikke en "clean hit" det er en klar takling bakfra. Karsums går direkte i ryggen hans. 5 + match etter internasjonale regler.

[godblessfinland]

MY GOD. NOT NICE, but please i dont think this was ment to happen from Karsums :P or god i dont hope so...

[refjopeon]

martins is a fucking idiot !

[Jointus]

That fucker leaves his feet

[royalsoldier]

It's a clean hit. Sure when Enström slowed down Karsums maybe should have slowed down to.

Enström slowed downed and leaned forward and thats the hit took so bad in the face.

(im from sweden)

[m3Mbr4iN]

Det var inte en bra tackling... Enström visste att han var bakom så det var dåligt av Enström men Karsums tacklade han i ryggen? Inte kul... Inte kuuul xD

[ezerakaza]

In my country best knock out players :D

[chirssirhc]

and the worst thing is that noone stood up for enström, ppl should of knocked karsums ugly face to the ice!

[Termonuclear111]

Wow wow .. would it be smart for more swedish bodies to pile up on ice?

[chirssirhc]

and WHO the fuck is karsum? biggest wuzz ever, can't even tackle anybody down without coming from behind, learn the rules of the game, cock!

[crispytoastwithmeat]

I totally agree, like you know, they never do that in ice hockey....never.

[Termonuclear111]

:D yea, right

Get a grip on yourself. You are too sentimental to even be near hockey.

[tysse73]

I totally agree!

[chirssirhc]

he maybe saw him, but karsum still shouldn't of tackle him in that situiation, he was in the back of enström. seems u don't know anything about hockey volicren fucking tard

[mixer311]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­h its very painful i dont want thet :d i think he is Dead and gone very much blood new karsums show his power ]:)

[imjohannes123]

riktigt ful takling !!

[tomassbvjonsson]

Ball tackling! mera sånt i all sport så den inte blir så satans tråkig. Är man med i en gladiator sport får man leken tåla, även som svenne.

[MarkuswithanM]

Men håll käften din jävla fitta! Du kan ju ta den tacklingen själv innan du öppnar käften. Skamlig är vad du är.

[joachimerkonge]

det er da faen ikke en gladiator sport da din idiot! det er en lagsport med regler.

[wahlstrom25]

Bad tackel i think he need too have Respekt there!!!

[zkillan]

If Douglas Murray had been in this match with Sweden he would rip Karsums head off to be honest :D

[latvietis84]

Then if there was Ivanans he would hit Douglas Murray so hard that Douglas would cry :P

P.S cleen hit. swe boy dont know how to take hits right. if he didnt hold down head he would be ok

[JailbirdReen]

I'm sure you would take that hit soo much better, a 180 cm latvian train coming from behind with right knee and everything..

[zkillan]

yeah and 2 minutes later zdeno chara would show up with a knife and a fork and eat Ivanans (who the hell is that anyway?) as BBQ.

[latvietis84]

search in youtube for ivanans dumbass or wach nhl los kings games

[riddifeuller]

You can't go down and have your back to the play when u go to boards. Shit like that happen when you do.

[gretmonsta]

The other guy looks worried/concerned. Awful unfortunate incident.

[thrashersdude]

omg, enstom! that was a clean hit but holy jezzus, jew you c his teeth fly out off his mouth! i really cant belive none of the sweeds went after em? back here in the atl, boultin and thorburn wud be all over this Karsmus guy

[gretmonsta]

They sure would have Thrasher dude. This really hurts my face looking at it.

[CrownPrinceofSweden]

Clean hit ?!?!?! He needs to show respect in that situation and not go in to it 100%. Enstrom got several fractures in his face.

[Edmisco]

Just 1 fracture... :D Broken upper jaw... :P

[number7778967]

that was clean hit . Go Latvia and go Karsums. I hope Enstrom is Ok.

[LuNaritus]

not really, checking from behind & boarding

[CrownPrinceofSweden]

Clean hit ? lol karsmus need to show respect in that situation.

[neticigaistoms]

And he did,t show it? Didn,t he look worried? I heard he is going to apologize to sweed...

[CrownPrinceofSweden]

I mean he needs to show respect at that situation cuz a normal guy don't hit somebody with 100% in that situation. Do you get it ?

[Nitku87]

It was clean hit. And that Martin Karsums didnt leave the field, it can be seen on his face, that he didnt mean to really hurt. Sometimes accidents happens, its part of the game. That latvian player show real gamespirit when he dont just leave field and let others fix that swedis player away. And no, im not from latvia ;) Finland wins this year!

[sviestainis]

it's true men,it's pitty if someone gets hurt, but sometimes accidents happens. all do respect for swe that they played clean, fair game after this accident.

we wish to get back, healthy for Enstrom...

p.S. latvians respected a lot this game!

[airspray]

That is a clean hit. Swedish player went to that situation in a very low position.

And no, I don't hope this to anyone.

[werdlilfelow]

Clean, when is okay to tackle in the back ? I thought that where checking from behind. Only NHL aloud that, not international rules ...

Checking from behind

Hitting an opponent from behind is a penalty. It carries an automatic minor penalty and misconduct, or a major penalty and game misconduct if it results in injury.

This is generally allowed in the NHL, as long as the player is not violently thrown into the boards.

[airspray]

It was not a hit from behind by the rules. They were skating on the same line and Swedish player had to know what was coming behind him.

I do know the rules, I'm a referee myself.

[zajebisj]

Трус не играет в хокей, игра отличная получилась!

[isaichev]

ДА! Супер! Не то, что наши со швейцарцами сыграли...

[DeanStealth]

Hahahaha! Heja sverige...

[tigerofswedenoisnr17]

That fucker is dead when Murray come's !

[Salty123123]

Nasty one

[11shadow11]

The ref was blind. Check from behind or boarding.... damn that was nasty

[wallu]

10 bone breaks in face :/

[sviestainis]

acctually only 1

[ahunais]

its a wrong information, only 1 break in his face..

[tramnumberseven]

And not even a penalty? What happened to the "checking from behind"? Nasty!

[sviestainis]

it was not a penalty, just a hit.

[viktorgunnarsson]

ok, so you don't mind to get hit from behind from a latvian that comes in the speed of a car? biggest retard on youtube^^

[volicren]

That idiot swede saw Karsums coming and taught he is better. Thats result!!!

[NerPinkad]

He learned someone that he's better? Atleast try to make common sense

[andzinio]

hell yeah!!

[joachimerkonge]

u jackass... learn something about hockey and then u can talk!

[oltsuz]

Thats gonna leave a mark..

[disapp]

Ouch...
