Pat Lafontaine Elbowed by Francois Leroux

[MrJuha82]

Most dirty hit i have ever seen, another very dirty was thrown by Kyle McLaren on Richard Zednik.

[leafsforlife26]

The buffalo sabres of today could learn something from the sabres of old in particular, roy

[AEMoreira81]

This is also why Rob Ray was so loved by his team and the fans...I wish that Ray had taken Leroux's head off.

This essentially began the end of Pat Lafontaine's career.

[AustinHansen]

i love the sabres announcer...

[NameyMD]

Leroux was always a better all-round player than Lafontaine. Pat was probably thinking of his million dollar paycheck when he got whacked instead of say looking up? And anyway the hit was clean.

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@NameyMD lmao. You are an idiot. Elbow to the head.

[NameyMD]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi I personally asked Pat about this 'incident' in '02 and he himself admitted it was a clean hit and that he dove like a faget to draw the penalty. You obviously don't know the first thing about hockey or about anything else for that matter you idiot whore.

[dbray1]

@NameyMD i personally asked your mom if her tits were fake. she herself admitted they were real and i dove into them...

[NameyMD]

@dbray1 My mom was born without tits. And that makes you a liar, a lying whore.

[Dudestar321]

@NameyMD and it makes your mom a flithy slut

[suburbanindie]

I had no idea LaFontaine was on the Sabres long enough to wear the ugly red and black jerseys.

All things aside, that was a sweet drop pass he made right before getting hit.

[MrJuha82]

The fight was a flop, DRAW.

[MrJuha82]

What a fucking goon this Leroux!!!

I dont care who he is, an enforcer but really stupid and dirty one.

He ended up a great players career.,

Leroux cant play the game ever in the NHL but only using those wrists in hockey fights.

I didn't like at all Lerouxs playing style.

Lafointaine was much better player.

Fuck off Leroux.

[tcwhpgh]

Coming from a Pens fan since 1987.... Leroux was a goon and worthless. A shame this happened to a player like Lafontaine. He was never the same after this hit.

[Ericotheriault]

the NHL should choose...do you want a league of Francois Lerouxs ...or Pat Lafontaines?

[CHEEZEBURNATHADON85]

man i miss rick jennerate

[ajrasmussen]

Thanks for ending the career of the best American ever to play you dirty fuck.

[oehieze]

leroux....waste of humna life... seriously.. what did that prick ever achieve in his whole fucking life? beyond messing up one of the greatest offensive americans ever..s eriously all leroux did after this was end up playing in the LNAH... useless , useless player and an even worse human being

[FuturePBABowler]

One of the dirtiest hits you will ever see. This hit essentially ended LaFontaine's career.

[ShaneConlan]

Shame that such a horrid player ruins one of the greatest, if not the greatest US born hockey players of all time.

[HISTORYBUFFPA]

I forgot about this hit.

[sloyvenheaven]

I'm a Flyer's fan and Leroux is a fucking faggot.

[maxwellcarl]

thats a fucking dirty bow... what a bitch. ray shoulda killed him

[moosetricks]

leroux was just finishing his check, something every defenseman would've done. it's more lafontaine's fault for cutting into the middle, he knows that's dangerous and leroux was just doing his job. it's not really a high hit either since leroux is 6'6 and lafontaine's 5'10. What do you think is gunna happen when a player hits another one 8 inches shorter than him?

[jkrx]

He got the elbow up. How can you even defend it?

[tmark618]

watch the last replay he got him with shoulder even though the elbow was up, it didnt connect , watch it again. leroux is just a tall fucker and pat was short.

im a big lafontaine fan

[jkrx]

The motion with the elbow towards the head had already bugun he might not have connected cleanly with his elbow but it was not a shoulder hit.

[tmark618]

disagreed

[SuperColossal33]

if he was tall that would make it harder for him to use the shoulder...shoulder is higher than your elbow.

[kunsan12003]

you have no clue what your talking about. Yeah patty shoudln't have had his head down, but it was still a dirty dirty hit. you can see the elbow come up. it was a dirty play, plain and simple.

[kewlnsimpguy]

its till an elbow

[Mineav]

Damn...what a cheapshot. Not a fan of the Islanders, but I don't mind Pat and respected his talent--probably the most talented born US player of all-time, IMO (I'm Canadian, BTW). Too bad about the concussion problems...really a shame for a guy with so much talent.

[blackandgold429]

Leroux was one of the best fighters of all time

[sk8ter716]

this reminds me of a hit that drury took in the playoffs against ottawa

[UpperCanada1812]

atta boy rob :)

[golt73]

Fuck you dick. .. some no-name just destroyed a Hall of Fame career

[UpperCanada1812]

learn player names before you reply noob i was glad ROB ray rsponded the way he did... wow...

[stashJ8]

just remember that patty goes down as one of the best playmakers of our time, and a hall of famer, while i think i saw leroux pumping gas outside a 7-11 in montreal...i was going to check him but he saw me coming and i didnt think that would be fair, eh?

[BigJohnStud118]

I like how Assault is a crime everywhere in the United States except for when you're on a hockey rink.

[Sabres244]

One of the worst days in Sabres history.

[LisaAsh36]

He ruined a amazing career nice hit douche bag

[chrisconnell]

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! Pat shouldnät be cutting across the ice with his head down like that. He knows better...

[Hockeyguy17]

fuck you asshole, if that wasnt one of the MOST blatant attempts to elbow him I dont know what is? Its because of idiots like Leroux whom have no talent and make cheap ass hits like this that the casual fan is turned off and wont watch hockey...Im all for "clean" hits and aggressive play but attempting to injure another player is pure BS...

[chrisconnell]

Commen sense should tell you that since Leroux is 6'6 his shoulder is going to line up directly with Lafountains head. It did, and Pat suffered the consequences. As I said, keep your head up. You should never cut along center like that. It's every defenseman's dream to catch a guy doing that.

[Efird1991]

@Hockeyguy17 ;he had his head down he had it coming to him just like you have your boyfriend cumming to you ;)

[bigstickhockey9]

he was such an amazing player, too bad he got hit liek this too many times

[nastymirasty13]

twist was the most useless player in history, he scored his first nhl goal in his 5 or 6th nhl season......and i won't even talk about his skating, awful just awful

[oehieze]

the most USELESS hockey player in existence... leroux's dad should've worn a condom with that bitch

[Efird1991]

@oehieze I should of worn a condom with your mom.... sorry son

[oehieze]

@Efird1991 lol.. my mother has AIDS so yes you SHOULD'VE worn one! lol....

[Efird1991]

@oehieze it's ok i have SQUAIDS so it doesn't effect me :D

[AlienBusDriver]

@oehieze It didnt end his career did it, probably just the good part of it though

[mastuhhs1091]

elbow you bitches....pause it right at 6....he looks like a nazi.

[bigstickhockey9]

no elbow, watch the end of it, he ran into his shoulder, it looks like the elbow bc of the height difference

i hate this hit bc i loved lafontaine, but it really wasnt all the bad in comparison to others

[Hockeyguy17]

He lunged at him w/his elbow what're you blind like chrisconnell above???????? blatant attempt to ram his head, that piece of worthless shit Leroux ruined a great player and an even greater human beings career

[vint7107]

a shot to the head is a shot to the head. leroux...stupid douche bag...

[derekexcelcisor]

Him and Eric Lindros have a lot in common,in that they both were great players who unfortunately had their careers ended by so many injuries.

[lexmark14]

you can't respond any other way...nice job ray

[sargentjmac]

fuck u

[macneilian]

lafontaine shoulda known not to cut accross with his head down for one because he had how many concussions already but that was a class A shitbag move by leroux to land and elbow to the head knowing who it was. He was trying to end lafontaine.

[drthmstrbtr]

exactly!!

[NHLdude1121]

lol u gotta love Rob Ray best fighter ever

[redgus95]

pat lafontaine is my cousins cousin

[drthmstrbtr]

Lazy Lafontaines fault!!!!!

never cut across the ice with your head down !

thats hockey 101 man, damn

[oehieze]

hey your mothers waiting at the street corner for men again :)

[cgasucks]

Clean hit...Lafontaine ran into Leroux...the side of hit arm hit his head...

Lafontaine deserved getting hit like that when he cut in the middle...the best hits in hockey are when people try to cross into the middle...

[sloyvenheaven]

It was a fucking elbow retard.

[drzaiuss27]

eat shit asshole...it was an elbow you blind cocksucker

[sloyvenheaven]

I'm glad Tony Twist beat the fuck out of this pussy and made him turtle TWICE the same game a few weeks later.

[oehieze]

fuck leroux... worthless piece of shit will be known for this one idiotic play. So much hockey that we never got to see cause of idiots like this

[Frozintoe]

We would've won the Cup is had never happened, and if Hasek had not flipped out on Jim Kelley

[Jriz2112]

lafontaine is a legend here in buffalo. leroux can suck a dick and die slow.

[DW33BS]

Leroux should die Pat is so nice and he is so good at hockey

[Britex123]

wow what a dirty fucking hit.

[CCampLI]

I can't stand hearing the Sabres announcer, he sounds retarded.

[Frozintoe]

Who cares what you think

[55Porter]

THIS WAS A CLEAN HIT!!!

[asdfiron]

Good for Razor. Even though it was borderline shoulder/elbow, that's the way you defend your teammates regardless.

[daznpartypooper]

hah of course rob ray jumps in

[UnclePenner7]

Leroux was a no talent bum, a horrible fighter, a coward and took cheap shots. He never should've been on an NHL roster.

[abomb83]

Hey Leroux thanks for fucking over the greatest american player of all time.

[mafiaman1314]

This was the beginning of the end for Pat. How sad. What a gay hit by that fucking Penguin player, an elbow to the head. Wow He should be real proud of himself.

[yotties100]

I lovee buffalos announcer

[icychill646]

oh yeah
