i was there that night, it was an illegal hit it was way too low. and Dorsette is a pussy he had to go back to the locker room and scuderi was fined and im sure dorsette was too it was insane.
no doubt about it you had to be tough to play hockey 20-30+ years ago, but if you let players the size these guys are today go at it like the old timers, you wouldnt have stars playing more then 5 years.
even with rule changes hockey is still a physical game. im all for sacrificing some physicality to watch some of my favorite players stick around the league longer.
when scuderi played for the penguins i had a borderline man crush on him. but that was a dirty hit. probably not intentional, as he's not that kind of player, but christ hes down on 1 knee when he makes contact. thats not a good hip check and he definitely would have picked up a suspension if he had any priors.
@ignite19 you must be drunk, i am all for big hits and hip checks, some of the best hit are hip check, but that was around the knees, that could have been career ending had in been just a little lower, came very close to being right on the button too. (knee)
@ignite19 every time someone gets hit it has potential to be career ending lol these are professionals i hope they can take a clean hit. You dont put your hip into someones knees lol. If you look at that and dont say wow he was low right at the knees then you are a moron.
I know he got fined, but the only difference with that check, in comparison to a normal hit, is that his timing was just a tiny bit off and he hit with his shoulder instead of hip.
that was pretty low. Almost like a chop block like what farve did. Scuderi was practically kneeling down on one knee. Yea, I'll say thats cheap. No need for that
good clean hip check, nothing wrong with it. Anyone that thinks otherwise should go play basketball or soccer where contact is illegal. Chimera needs to quit crying. Give him the fine, not scuds. Dorsey should get a fine too.
I have no problem with this hit by Scuds. It was a hip check, though a bit low it was legal. 30 years ago, nobody would question this kind of hit, but the hip check has become a lost art.
It's too low. This is not a debatable hit. Let's not be ridiculous here.

Theres something wrong with it when it's illegal now. This hit was clearly too low for today's rules.

it was a low hit but Scuds doesn't have a history of low hits. It looks like he started to loose his balance before the hit.
