Dion Phaneuf Destroys Anze Kopitar

[mrsamloney97]

skate skate skate skate CRUNCH!!

[InTecknicolour]

Thanks Calgary, Love Toronto

[wendellharper8]

that's a dirty hit... guy wasn't even close to touching the puck

[KrisHykel]

brendan shanahan would shit his pants if he saw this

[FR4GxxKing]

Good old canadian hockey player!

[JPSS97]

hmmmmm ... No touch icing? Anyone?

[caraneenan]

jesus christ imagine how that would feel

[JudgeTread1]

In Canadian leagues that hit is 100% legal.

[Deadman6594]

@JudgeTread1 what Canadian league are you playing in?

[jaquethetreefaller]

Charged???? I would love to have a two min on Sports center P*****.

your Wrecking Hockey if you want a non contact sport that has lots of scoring Basketball is cool for some???? get the **** away fro our CANADIAN GAME IT'S FULL CONTACT AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE FIGHTING OR PEOPLE GETTING HURT MABEY WATCH A NICE GAME OF POOL>>>>>>>>>> or grab your Canadian nuts and get on with the game. You think they would allow this in Rugby in AUS?????? Think my fellow Canadians and have a voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lawlthedamian329]

@jaquethetreefaller ya nhl with out contact would be like the all star game where its like 12-10 ect keep it the way it is

[IMACOOLBOY12]

ohhhhhh shettt!!!!!



[1995OFWGKTA]

that wasnt clean phanuef wasnt even going for the puck he was planning on hitting kopitar the whole way down... it was a dirty play and phanuef knows it was! defenitely boarding for sure though..

[Deflection]

Phaneuf = over------rated.

[IMACOOLBOY12]

@Deflection i think you mean Kopitar

[privatevilla]

@Deflection tell that to kopitar

[emcneil41]

Huge hit that was clean all the way

[Morfinclownen]

Boom! here comes the Boom!

[ChEwYEnO]

at least he turned him around so it wasnt from behind :P

[maidenrules13]

and he never had the puck wtf. if you say this is a clean hit you know nothing about hockey holy fuk, comming from a phaneuf fan too

[maidenrules13]

dirty, players are supposed to respect eachother. you dont go and nail a guy racing for an icing thats how so many players get hurt these days

[1995OFWGKTA]

@maidenrules13 exactly and thats not something you do to kopitar of all people.. dirty hit all the way, your completely right

[Terminus92]

clean hit u mad

[Terminus92]

fuck kopifag

[MyHuns]

welcome to toronto!!

[naljxhnakjxnajksxn]

When Phaneuf was good...

[AllAboutThePuck]

clean



[onetime504]

1:05 - "uh, screw the icing"

[smart11190]

were lucky phaneuf is on toronto now :P

[TOPGUNCANADA00]

in that case its hit or be hit... not saying its right, but what drives me nuts is how the guys on kopitar's team almost step on his head going after phanueuf

[the89oliver]

3 guys jump on phaneuf and he won't go down. shakes them off like little kids lol

[boocrosby87]

YEA FLAMS FTW KINDA

[MythzRivendare]

huge boarding

[SSSMforlife1]

the only penalty there is interference. It wasnt boarding or charging or holding

[bellbrookhockey44]

interference, holding, charging, bording....well at least he got his moneys worth

[lisacutieful]

Im a kings fan..looks like a clean hit to me. Kopitar trie to body him up, and bam...

[Loyalty1269]

no one hits better then dion. brenden shanahan would have explosive diarea after seein this.

[SXLePiC]

and THIS is why we need hybrid icing

[winnipeg1584201]

Was he even suspended? Brendan Shanahan would have flipped.

[winnipeg1584201]

What a fuckin cheap shop. He could have killed him.

[MitchBarlett]

@winnipeg1584201 yeah. real cheap shop

[ditto56789]

@winnipeg1584201 cool what can i get at this cheap shop?

[xWGSSx]

of course, have a fight rite on-top of your injured teammate, makes alot of sense

[buddhistgangstamonk]

Flames fan here, when dion phaneuf is coming like that, do not come infront of him, but Kopitar is a toughie so he comes back next game, if it was crosby he'd be out for a while.

[PrinceK2007]

Damn that had to hurt...

[xMILLZEx]

2 minutes for interference, that's all I see.

[IMACOOLBOY12]

I used to dish out hits like that, then i took an arrow to the knee

[ChrisSousaPortugal89]

Its more dangerous to start a pile up on Dion with Anze laying there helpless. Could have done a hell of a lot worse to Anze lol

[DisappearingBoy88]

If I were racing Dion Phaneuf for the puck, I would let him have it. The pain is just not worth it.

[1313tml4life]

take a seat, anze. you fucking pussy.

[1kingsfan41]

@1313tml4life If that was you that got hit you wouldn't have gotten up you would have laid there and cried. He came back in the game after that hit.

[dman0695]

I think its clean, Phanuef went to nudge up against anze, but anze didnt lean back so he got rocked

[Andragon90]

Charged, but still a fucking beauty. Goddamn beauty.

[ConfusedSanity]

@Andragon90 just had to say, feet were moving i don't think that was a charge.

[Andragon90]

@ConfusedSanity That's not how you describe a charge. A charge is when you skate a long distance at a high acceleration with every intention to hit a player.

[kyliam28]

@Andragon90 I agree that it's a beauty, but not even remotely a charge.  Phaneuf started to glide before the hit when he knew he'd kill Kopitar if he kept skating.

[Andragon90]

@kyliam28 true but he only let up or "glided" after he got to the goal line. You're just not supposed to play the body when the 2 are chasing an iced puck.

[TehGoldSnipz]

@kyliam28 thats exactly what i was thinking he does a little bit of c-cuts then hits him

[kabookiejoe]

@Andragon90 that wasn't charging

[originalstatus13]

@Andragon90 well then you must be as stupid as phaneuf then

[Andragon90]

@originalstatus13 ??

[originalstatus13]

@Andragon90 that was a terrible hit..

[Andragon90]

@originalstatus13 Nah it was awesome and I'm happy that Kopi was fine too.

[WeOwnYou1317]

Phaneuf is a great defencemen!! Clean player

[derhalofanatic]

i fucking hate phaneuf

[angrykomodo]

@derhalofanatic lmao someones mad

[eromsnid0411]

My favorite part of this video is watching O'Donnell come flying in ahhaa but Kopi was fine and lets be honest, he just got the wind knocked out of him didnt hurt him that much

[99arnoldo]

not a penalty.. he carried him into the boards, he didnt just hit him and let him fly

[sonicsubjunkie]

Cheap shot. I'm glad Brown show him how to really hit. 

[StimulatedMindz]

@sonicsubjunkie

if by cheap you mean clean and by shot you mean nuclear explosion, then your comment makes perfect sense. Go ask Sauer if Phaneuf knows how to hit or not... tool.

[ScrewLSU]

Dion Phaneuf is BEAST I would hire him as my Body Guard if I were to be in danger XD

[Mitchell2Sully]

hahaha omg what a a hit...and kopitar slips at the last second so its his fault, but wooow..glad leafs have em now!

[zeppodeppo]

Kopitar is lying on the ice and his own teammates are jumping on him just so they could throw punches at Phaneuf. That's just sad in someways.

[spigmok]

fuck shannaban go ruin basketball or something else no one cares about

[smyleh]

I think Phaneuf is an honest player, but this is a real cheapshot, no doubt about it.

[mcwaddle]

@smyleh No head contact. Feet wasn't moving. He Touched the puck.

[fresh34p]

what a cheap shot, play the puck phanuef you pussy.

[raGe27576]

@fresh34p hahaha cheapshot? omg you dont have any fuckin idea of hockey you brainless freak

[fresh34p]

@raGe27576

A) you're a fucking retard, I 'have no idea OF hockey?'. You should learn the english language you munson.

B) Notice how Kopitar skates his ass off to get to the puck first (which is the point of hockey incase you didn't know), and Phanuef slows up because he is too scared to go into the corner first. It's ignorant, useless cunts like you who embarrass the sport. I'm guessing you're either a bandwagon fan of whatever teams is winning or from Toronto.

[raGe27576]

@fresh34p loool , go and look some womantennis you foooool

[fresh34p]

@raGe27576

Thanks, for showing how truly uneducated/brain-dead you are.

[bandaid400]

If Brendan Shanahan watched this, he would have a stroke

[MrCanuck55]

@bandaid400 AGREED

[antsman14]

@bandaid400 haha no kidding sheriff shanny would shit a brick if he saw this

[canadianguy19]

hahahahahaha phaneuf was like you really wanna beat me out for this icing? ok kopitar here you go you can have it. ka-blamo! destroyed for being stupid. just take the icing.

and the first guy in was ryan smyth lmao whats he gonna do? rag doll?

[MrPillowpants92]

Dion destroys everybody. ive seen him come clear across the ice and throw fucking clean hip check. I'm a Kings fan and all but this hit was clean. it was kopi's fault for going down that hard if anything

[XxSebas22xX]

Dion is the man!

[Gudaring]

No.. Anze Kopitar is not a beast he is dead.. Awesome hit by an awesome player.

[JohnnyHBK1]

i mycards isesesgodlondtesdt 

[MegaMultiX]

Phaneuf hit himself more than Anže... He bumped headfirst into wall xD

[MixxdMount]

@MegaMultiX Anze ate the fucking boards, haha nah Phaneuf is a beast.

[MegaMultiX]

@MixxdMount Yeah... 

[AndyG0027]

beastly! how awesome for leaf fans to have a captain like that

[RightMeow69]

when's the nhl gonna wake up and put automatic icing in, phaneuf doesn't even try for the puck, there's too many stupid injuries from the touch icing rule.

[Killaton501]

if you listen to the commentator, they waved the icing off so contact is fully legal. Learn the rules before you complain.

[georgeman89]

@Killaton501 exactally !

[sw1tch37]

@Killaton501 lol no, even if icing was waved off its still interference since Kopitar never even touched the puck.

Learn the rules before you try to put people straight

[Killaton501]

@sw1tch37 You're retarded. Look at a bunch of Luke Schenn's hits which are exactly the same and not called interference. Search up Dion Phaneuf's hit on Alex Burrows which is EXACTLY the same as this and not called interference. There are MULTIPLE examples of this hit on youtube which are not interference. Joey Crabb got leveled on one of these as well. /FAIL.

[sw1tch37]

@Killaton501 so because the refs in other games got the calls wrong, means this is legal? ITs pretty straightforward, Kopitar never touches the puck, it is therefore interference. If Phaneuf had taken him out at the blue line it would have been interference right? well there is no difference between that and where the hit took place

[Killaton501]

@sw1tch37 Listen to the in-game commentary in the video of Phaneuf hitting Burrows, they explain it perfectly.

[sw1tch37]

@Killaton501 Ill keep it simple, does Kopitar touch the puck? Now tell me what the rule called 'interference' is

[mattias9411]

nah kopi is just a kid and he doesnt really take a big hits as he's a finesse player. But I think this was clean, he tried to slow down instead of take it along the boards and phaneuf kept his speed and fully overpowered him.. Props Dion Phaneuf

[Creigs9]

Ouch!! But since it's the Queens it's a clean hit!

[DallasStarsTV]

Phaneuf is shit

[xxxgregaxxx]

hehe i love this teamwork, anze fall down and his team mates protect him...,)

[kwphaneuf03]

kopitar lost his balance..clean hit.maybe an interference penalty

[guitaristsco]

Big hit but interference. Too bad it wasn't clean

[vidaj1]

Clean hit.

[BBK197]

Go leafs go but interference...

[boarderbumx310]

0:56 taped ankles... BENDER.

[546coolman]

That is probably the best clean hit I've ever seen! Way to go Dion!

[01DUBSTEP]

phanuefs a fucking pussy

[JJMK369]

no wonder why Toronto sucks!

[ItsRelyT]

@4Bold Beauty hit? Are you kidding me? That was one of the dirtiest hits I have seen like the top rated comment said he knew he lost the icing race so he gave him a bad hit, the fact that he did it because he lost the race just shows how bad of a player he is.

[superDrmaximus]

thank god Calgary traded that asshole. There's no room for shit like that in this game.

[KrankesDasein]

Regehr inadvertently saved Kopitar's life by preventing that mouth-breather Purcell from mangling Anze's exposed head with his skate blade. Pick a better route to Phaneuf next time, you lunatic.

[nooneknowsmenow]

to be perfectly honest i don't think that dion could have stopped in time anyways, i know that it was a greasy hit but u have to realize that he never realy intends to hurt people it's just the way he is!! by the way hes the best player in the nhl

[ssrider7]

Gayneuf!

[cyfawcett]

How is that a bad hit? 2 guys competing for the puck? If the NHL doesn't want those hits, they should eliminate touch icing. Besides all that, that hit was nothing compared to the hit Handzus put on Hemsky to end his season. js

[BigTimage]

I don't think Phaneuf should give up the race; he was losing by like a couple inches. Should've tried to avoid him instead of holding him though.

[LAKINGSHockey1]

its alright anze kopitar is a freaking beast

[ssrider7]

2meters before he hits him hes already preparing to hit,he does not even look pack,that dickeuf....Anže looked pack all time!!!Look again those idiots who cant see right.

[ssrider7]

Idiot,im telling you if he would really hurt Kopi,he would be dead already....credit to Odonell!

[FFJabarr]

It's dangerous.

[grett134]

lol good hit kopitar shud have protected himself

[mangahead21]

Dion Phaneuf ladies and gentleman...now Toronto's sloppy second...

[clay4444]

i was at this game and this hit was dirty no puck played by either player and this game was already getting outta hand. its the refs job to make sure the game stays a game and doesnt turn into kamakazi hockey. after he got kicked out(phaneuf) the game went back to normal and it was good clean fast gritty hockey with clean hits. ivanans got kicked out eairler in the game and it was due to a dirty hit(elbow) as well. hockey is a phsyical game but guys shouldnt be hitting players to hurt them.

[templetonbob]

Phaneuf was like, "he's got too much talent for me to handle so let's just tackle him into the boards before he even gets to the puck..." What a fuckface bitchass

[daveyg8499]

cheap shot from a bitch, good thing when Brown hits the shit out of Phaneuf it was clean

[bubblicious14blair]

I'm sorry but all of you people are totally wrong. What's up with all of you? It's not cheap what so ever. It's Anze Kopitar's fault. It's two guys going hard for an icing, and Anze leans into Phaneuf. I was at this game and saw it live. It was right in front of me. They gave Dion Phaneuf a 5 minute major + a game misc. But at most he only deserved 2 for boarding. It's a clean hit, so stop complaining.

[labaseball28]

@bubblicious14blair "at most he only deserved 2 minutes for boarding. its still a clean hit" any hit involving a boarding call is not a clean hit. Hes with toronto now.....karma i guess

[tharainman1503]

@bubblicious14blair your a fuckin calgary dick rider. How was it a clean hit? On top of it being dirty, its interference!! He had no intention of playing the puck. and the refs know hes a prick. He's lucky he didnt get his ass knocked out by Ivanans!!

[01dg73g23]

@tharainman1503 phaneuf played for toronto 3 months ago. try watching the game

[tharainman1503]

@01dg73g23 what are you yappin about? what does that have to do with him in a calgary jersey in this video?

[cptspiers]

@bubblicious14blair calling bullshit!

[templetonbob]

@bubblicious14blair It's clean if Anze ever touched the puck, this however was a bitch out, and I guarantee that we have a better view on our computers than you did in the stands.

[willkim99]

Phaneuf is a fag. What a cheapshot artist...he got traded from Calgary because he was banging Craig Conroy's wife

[bubblicious14blair]

@willkim99 That's 100% Bullshit. He got traded because he and Jarome Iginla weren't seeing eye to eye. There was no banging of any sort, and besides, Dion Phaneuf has a girlfriend. They've been steady for 2 years now.

[ill3stV1llain]

@willkim99 Haha wtf. Where di you hear that? 100% bullshit

[xXStronGxGaminGXx]

When the people started jumping on phaneuf they could have stepped on there player not helping

[pyllywaltteri]

phaneuf is one tough hitter

[Tapajuoppo]

ruutu owns phaneuf

[almstrom95]

Are you kidding me??!!! That was not a clean hit!! Phaneuf suck,

[hockeyaustin]

@almstrom95 He doesnt suck!!! ill admit it was a dirty hit but Phaneuf doesnt suck

[nsakic]

@almstrom95 No, we're not kiddin! .. .that was a clean hit. Kopitar is a typical soft european pussy, he should have gone for the puck!

[hanmerboys]

@almstrom95 it was bording thats it there is allot of wose hits out there

[snow4life987]

@almstrom95 haha... LA Kings, theres the real joke in this whole situation

[NUProductions4Music]

@snow4life987 No, no, no...

The Montreal Canadians are a real joke!

[raid4000]

@almstrom95 How WTF? are you blind or do you know nothing about hockey?

[jk5389]

that was clean what are you guys talking about.

[greener60]

over a month ago and you guys are still going over it this hit? move on for crying out loud... There was no icing, meaning that the hit wasn't illegal. Maybe wasn't the smartest move on Phaneuf, but still clean

[00agentzero00]

I would personally like to thank the Sutter family for setting back the Calgary Flames organization for many, many years.

Buncha morons.

[J00rcek]

Waaay overzealous on that hit... I understand the commitement to getting the icing call but come on...

but Kopi should have also known better than to changing lanes right in front of a defender, who has a bad reputation for being overzealous with his hits

[cheesepuffs9789]

Blueshockey that wasn't even close to clean, if you're racing for an icing it's illegal to play the body like that, especially when you interfere with the guy and shove him into the boards

[Rudiii14]

Icing was waived bud

[ithinkurugly777]

1:12 , they start fighting ON TOP of kopitar

4 sum reason, i think thats very ironic.....

[Blueshockey2005]

Deffinently a clean hit...I hate how the NEW NHL and a scrum breaks out after a clean hard hit

[beerrii123]

@Blueshockey2005 It's called interference, try learning the rules. Interference is no fcking new rule.

[buttwooper5]

corvus you dont even know hockey. must be an oilers fan.. great hit. theres no need for class when it comes to hitting. if you have a chance to rock an all star player you do it you pussy

[Moriok101]

That's a clean hit. Kopitar could have done the same thing to Phaneuf. The only difference is that Phaneuf is bigger.

[Corvus133]

@Moriok101 Phaneuf was on the outside and Kopitar was playing the puck so what you just wrote is a load of shit. What time does high school get out these days, anyways?

[buttwooper5]

kopitar is a little girl and phanuf is the man. he's an inch from the puck and he slips and phanuf hit him, great call. fuck all yuo girls that say, o he should get suspended o no . if hockey was played how you want it i would rather watch chess like come on

[Corvus133]

@buttwooper5 Phaneuf has no class - he could have hit the guy but he crushed him. There's something called respect but someone like you that can't spell wouldn't know that

[bongosaj]

:D :D...absolutelly right...hockey is a hard game fot tough men, not for faggots

[oldcdcase]

any1 whos playd hockey knows, if u hit some1 when they havnt touched the puck its called 'interference' phaneuff is a dirty good. seen him do it many a times

[cnewman99]

I'm a flames fan, and I even think that was a pretty dirty hit. I don't think it would have been so bad if he didn't knock him down first, and just hit him normally.

[slickalaus12]

they aren't called "fouls" in hockey bud.

[mitchhanna]

whoever thinks that was dirty is a pussy and knows nothing about hockey kopitar walked into it and got drilled wake up and get off the tracks when the fuckin train is coming

[nejkooooo]

Don`t be stupid nob. That was an intentional foul and if you know much about hockey go out there to the boards and wait for the train, we will see who the pussy is.

[phaneufowns]

@mitchhanna THANK YOU!!! finally someone who understands.

[daveyg8499]

maybe some of you calgary butt huggers would get a clue that this was an icing call and kopitar was racing down to prevent it. By rule Dion was given the door for the specific reason which was stated in the rule book. Regardless, this is the only time phanuef gets guys is by hitting them in vulnerable positions. Real tough guy

[phaneufowns]

@daveyg8499 wow buddy, open your fucking ears. Its been almost two weeks since this hit and still ppl like you think this was icing. Turn your volume up to full and watch the video again, you can clearly hear "Icing is waved off".

[robertborak]

dirty hit. that being said kopitar did set himself up for it. phaneuf slowed down so he had just enough room to drill kopitar into the boards.

[calgarywilly]

Phanuef  Phanuef Phanuef haha

This hit is about as dirty as it gets. Phaneuf deserves a suspension. But he won't get it. He's a star player and he isn't a "repeat offender".
