It's a hit to the head. and while someone is not looking, its pretty much like beeing shot in the back.. real classy .. well.. he's canadian, what do you expect right =)
@PBandJeIIy Yes, a clean hit. No strides, elbows tucked and low. You might want to check out the badmintion club. I think they're looking for new members. Our Canadian game is through with you and your kind. No hard feelings... just please go away and let us play hockey.
Not a fan of either team but just because his heads down doesn't mean he deserves an elbow to the face... Hockey needs hard hits but not potentially career ending hits...
NOT a clean hit - I'm a ref, and I watched it a few times, and he left his feet with his elbows up. Could have been charging or elbowing - Just because the ref didn't make a call doesn't mean that there shouldn't have been one.
@randomhockeyguy FAIL his feet are on the ground till he starts to fall over the dead guy. his elbows are down as well. shit if your a ref please never ref my games you are probably the guy that calls the shittiest calls ever
Christ...I know how Hudler feels, I got a concussion just like this this year, the seconds afterwards are fucking awful. It's a stupid mistake to not have your head up, it only takes one such play for accidents to happen.
@hal4sure bullshit, his hits are nearly always clean. he never raises the elbow and always leads with the shoulder. he is a beast!!! and i totally agree with skate2continue too, its like the best part of hockey, suck it up and get on with it. if you are dumb enough to have your head down, then you shouldnt expect anything less than a huge hit
@cehamlet89 Yeah the Wings definitely suck...Only 11 Stanley Cups? And they are 3rd for most Stanley Cup wins, damn they really do suck.......Your a chump
i love it how when ever phanuef owns someone everybody on the other team finds it nessary to fight him even though it was clean..i say suck it up its hockey
@skate2continue Because Phaneuf is already taller than Hudler, there was no need for him to come up so high with his hit. It was a shot to the head, and he should always have to answer for that, to both the players and the NHL committee.
@skate2continue im a huge wings fan and have seen hudler get destroyed perfectly clean by brown for example because he does not keep his head up. but phaneuf had his elbow up.
This hit wasn't dirty and neither was okposo's.. He never even left his feet. its when he went down that his feet came off the ice. It was reviewed by the league and all sports channels, and everyone said it was clean
he left his feet because hes so tank when he hit okposo and hudler they just collapsed and he fell forward. like slonitro said it was reviewed everywhere and its ruled clean
the okposo hit was clean and so was the hudler hit players need to learn to keep there heads up or unfortunatly they will end up like lindros constant concussions
lol why is it always hudler? he doesnt dive but about half of the every detroit games i watch hudler gets destroyed, someone like pronger, phaneuf, just lays him out he is always bleeding or on the ground, and he is almost always there the next, he is such a good 2nd liner, very durable, and plays a great passing game, amazing hit by phaneuf though
if you guys say phaneuf goes for the small guys number one its the small guys who speed through the nuetral zone where he makes his hits and number two check out the video "phaneuf hits boogard" and dont say he only goes for the small guys cuz in that video he took out the biggest and possibly meanest guy in the league
I fail to see a good reason why Phaneuf goes after small guys cuz he doesn`t go after them you are just fucking retarted that Phaneuf just owned his ass hands down buddy.
phaneuf does go after small guys. i have never seen him hit anyone his own size either. having said that though, do you honestly think that ethan moreau is tough? even I could destroy moreau.
the oilers havent won a cup in 20 years either bud, they still dont shut up about it.
my dream come true would be the oilers jet crashing into phaneufs house killing all on board. and i'm from edmonton haha
Always goes for small guys? what about the hit on boogard (sy not sure thats the name) boogard is the second bigest after chara so just shut up get your facts strait
dude phaneuf was lining him up as soon as he got the puck it was a clean hit ur just bitching cause it was on someone on ur team, and i'm neither a wings or a flames fan btw.
Thats charging lol but he rocked hudler
