@windguardien Im a huge Stars fan and I love Dino, but this was a great hit. I didnt like Wendel when he was playing but man I respect the hell outta the guy. Too bad he was injury plagued. A helluva player and a helluva warrior. These were the days.
I know it was clean, but the refs would call dirty because they're idiots and call everything they can find. Then the sports annalists would be retarded and scream "suspension!! suspension!!!" and he would be suspended and or fined.
Not really. It does look like the beginnings of a dirty "head shot" hit but you see it's neither a head shot nor a push from behind into boards which is so rampant in today's game. I'm surprised it hasn't made a player paraplegic already with all the dirty hits. Tie up a player in the boards but don't go shoving them from behind. I think it will be hard to correct since this type of play is mostly from the newer generation players who learned it in juniors.
I said it was clean, wasn't hit in the head and he had the ability to see him if he tried. If you notice, he had his head down and it was below the shoulders.
Anyways, my point was they'd probably call it now because they overcall everything these days. I watch vintage games and they let the players sort these things out.
this is how you do a clean hit, if someone was with their head down like dino, in the new nhl with no fighting some coward would intentionally put their shoulder in his face and knock him out but its a "clean" hit.
Dino just minding his own business and some Maple Geek blindsides the poor guy. Everyone brings up the little stick swinging incident and they forget about what Dino had to put up with every night. By the way, Dino had those dives down perfect! They were famous. The little skate kick at the end was what put the other player in the box 99% of the time. Other teams and fans just hated Dino, but we loved him in Minny.
Dino was entertaining. However, Dino's problem was his anger. He took dumb penalties in the playoffs. Especially, against Colorado in '96. He cost Detroit. That's why Scotty Bowman traded him. Scotty didn't fuck around with dumb hockey players!
there's no such thing as minding your own business in hockey. You have the puck, you're fair game. Clean hit. I hated Dino when he was playing, but I would have loved him on my team.
MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY!!!!

This is just a beautiful hit, and most players would rather blindside the guy nowadays than hit someone like a man such as Clark did on many a night.

i miss the days before the NHL went soft. The days when comments on hits were "BIG HIT" and not debates on whether they were clean or not
