  • he just hitted his head badly, nothing wrong with Keslers hit IMO, because no elbow or anything and not comes behind Morris back IMo, fact. U can give a penalty  but dont need to suspended IMO.

  • morris turned at the last second its his fault

  • boom and also look at F13 on your computer

  • Bieksa pwned that dude

  • probably got a good "bullshit" chant after this

  • Was at this game... awsome... just awesome

  • they already have mentally! hits fine, wait hes bleeding now penalty + game. as they show replay ten times of the guy getting hit looking and seeing the hit coming but tries to make the play and gets whats coming to him..but because a little blood trickles, the hitters gone! sound like a call a man would make?

  • what happens when women take over hockey! Cant even hit anymore

  • @viccasper Women who play hockey know how to hit proper.

  • it was kinda a dirty hit, i never like to see someone get injured but 3 guys fighting kesler? one of em shoulda got a game for 3man in

  • turned his back. Morris' fault. Clean check.

  • Two words: Head Up.

  • Doan is such a baby.

  • i was at that game and it that hit sounded 10x louder than it did there

  • morris saw the hit coming, played the puck and took the hit. Absolutely clean, fuck the coyotes for going 4 on 1 against Kesler after the hit.

  • lol you kesler haters are retards. morris looks up, sees kesler coming, then turns to the boards anyways. Clean hit.

  • Morris saw him. Got hit... end of story. But everyone jumps in, and gets pissed off.

  • Morris sees him coming and still goes his face into the glass. It can't be a penalty in my book.

  • blood on keslers jersey lol

  • Wow Morris??? How about protect yourself wow!

  • Us in the box what's new lol.

    Great footage.

    Thank you.

  • So basically what we see here is a d-man turn his head, look at Kes coming down on him ( wasnt a charge because he isnt actively skating at him, he's going in on motion) then turns and puts his head down and towards the glass. WAY TO GO DEREK MORRIS!

  • Clean hit. Anyone who hates Kesler would probably like him on your team. I love annoying players and players that get people talking like now ;) Only making him known.

  • fucking charge, pussy hit by a pussy player

  • kesler has the shittiest mouth in hockey with his lover burrows who clearly takes inches from fellow team mate kesler vancouver sucks

  • WTF it's a clean hit, at 1:06 coyotes kick kesler and trip him, yet kesler gets the penalty and kicked out

  • clean hit, all kesler does is work hard... bieksa is a beast lol

  • that friggen number three for pheonix kicked him, now that should've been a penalty plus every person on the line jumped ryan kesler. and their concerned about an obviously clean hit. wtf?

  • THATS A CLEAN HIT!... seriously Morris looked behind him, but chose to turn. Seriously what has hockey come to....they might as well call it ballet....THIS IS HOCKEY....HOCKEY HAS CONTACT!....

  • Derek morris turned into that hit so badly

    Also the new youtube fucking sucks

  • Too bad chris crocker doesnt play pro hockey.

  • @Treefrogs2 lol

  • hahaha pissed off silver medalist

  • @freydey

    not even, it was a clean hit. Morris made a HUGE hockey mistake by turning his back.

  • It's sad that so many NHL players nowadays do not know the proper way to take a body check. What the fuck??? He turned his back while only a few feet from the boards! He must be retarded or something.

  • new youtube sucks. and by the way, that proves my point how americans are cheap in hockey. G O C A N A D A , EH

  • Kesler was already committed to the check when Morris turns his back to him. He was asking to get his face smashed...I don't like Kesler at all and I thought he was the biggest douche at the Olympics, but he didn't deserve this penalty.

  • Mccreary's reaction is classic... and someone, anyone... please bring these announcers some coffee or something... sounds like I'm watching Antiques Roadshow here...

  • thats bullshit, he deffinatly turned to try and dodge the hit but it back fired, nothing wrong with that

  • This was a clean hit and then morris turned to get away from the hit. Very clean hit.

  • RYÀN WHO?

  • @nanotech2006 The second best defensive player in the NHL?

  • clean hitm nuff said

  • @blessedwatcher thats why you don't understand the game, this was a totally clean hit and shouldn't have received a penalty, every hockey player understands the meaning of keep your head up or you pay the price for your unawareness its as simple as that. Best game in the World by far, I do agree with the hitting from behind but this was not the case with this hit he should have known Kesler was there and paid the price for not knowing, these are game changing hits that fire your team up.

  • i thought this was clean it wasnt really blindsided morris just sorta fell into the boardds weird

  • clean!

  • that was deffinitly a clean hit.

  • canucks for life

  • clean hit,

  • the refs have aids

  • 0:19 Bieksa!! Owned!

  • jeesss

  • I dont get how the Canucks still get a penalty when they are tripping and starting fights with kesler

  • Fuck YOUTUBE and how garbage it has gotten to lately,

  • @simsalamia and what the fuck does this have to do with the Kesler/Morris incident, you troll?

  • He might've thrown in a little elbow otherwise it looked clean.

  • At that speed that the cunucks player was going at and at the angle it would be called boarding but I do agree about the cayote player not being very aware and smart on the play he put himself "in the danger zone" and got hit

  • @Mceachernrj I totally agree with u...

  • the guy looks up, saw the hit coming then put his head back down he's a fucking idiot. and then 4 players jump on one guy is just fucking pathetic.

  • You see that? More Fans at that game then a pheonix coyotes season

  • Clean, he even turned his head and saw him coming!

  • Canucks vs the poorest Team in the league... Hmmmm...

  • 4th in league beating you in points....that makes us the poorest team? hahaha

  • WOW dumbest call of all time

  • that was a fine hit. after the hit the phionix players triped him up AND NO PENALTY

  • That's a lesson don't mess with the Canucks! Canucks FTW

  • @sc51241 ya they might all dive and cry on you

  • i hate new youtube

  • @Sliceofcheesewithegg Who cares, this is a hockey video, not a video about youtube.

  • poor call

  • I laughed when the refs suddenly pulled a steve auger and gave kesler a five minute game misconduct.

    but those fuckin coyotes only scored 1 goal and lost anyway :(

  • clean hit, i don't see the fuss i was watching the game live and it was a perfectly fine hit it's just that morris turned into it last second, his fault for not keeping his head up. Kesler definitely shouldn't have gotten a misconduct.

  • Don't mess around when Bieksa is on the ice, he will kill you.

  • NHL player Derek Morris!

  • The guy got gang raped lol

  • Here is an idea Morris, when you see some one coming try not being such a pussy and face it instead of turn.

  • Here is an idea Morris, when you see some one coming try not being such a pussy and face it instead of turn.

  • Canucks kicked phoenix ass this game.

  • NHL referees are SO SHIT

  • He looked right at Kesler coming...why did he turn?

  • I already miss the Olympics BIG TIME. Although I can say there's been WAY worst that this hit, I really don't care for it. Imagine...you're going for the puck and you always got to be worried about getting hit from behind or whatever. Fans love hitting, fights and unless you love European hockey, stars will never truly shine and hockey goons will always exist.

  • @blessedwatcher players need to be MORE not LESS aware

  • @NHLArchive like don cherry says keep ur head up!!

  • @blessedwatcher How is Kesler a goon? Doing something dirty every now and then doesn't make you a goon, if makes you dirty, but not a goon. And I agree with the video uploader, hockey is a violent game, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! They tell you that from Atom hockey onwards.

  • @blessedwatcher Plus, Morris definitely turned his back at the last second there....another thing coaches tell you NOT to do.

  • @blessedwatcher That's why u play SMART and don't have your back turned . No matter where you are, nhl or olympics you can't turn your back on the play. Know who's on the ice and don't turn ur back. The olympians know this...as should everyone else...nobody obviously wants this in the game. Clearly u don't watch or know anything about hockey based on your idiot comment.

  • @blessedwatcher I agree with this ^. I'm tired of watching a game that allows such violence in play and then when something legit happens and someone gets hurt, there's drama and QQing. I'm so sick of the line moving back and forth on the rules regarding it. Remove the violence or stop making weak back-water calls.

    That was a clean hit with an unclean reaction.

  • @blessedwatcher kessler isnt a goon though, moris turned at the last minuit.

  • @blessedwatcher I can't see this as a goon hit...I've officiated hockey for 7 years and it looks more like the guy wasn't aware of what was going on, he got rocked ridiculously hard and unfortunately injured as a result. There's plenty of room for aggression and skill to co-exist in hockey.

  • @blessedwatcher i disagree to a certain point- i'm all for a hard hitting game of hockey as long as those hard hits are clean. Kesler and Avery both have too many cheap and illegal hits to count.

  • Morris turned after he was hit, oh well phoenix got raped any how

  • The same sorta play happened to Mitchell on the leafs against the sens the leaf goalie I forget who was in net threw outa bad pass to the boards and Neil came in and leveled him. Never woulda happened if the goalie never threw out the suicide pass

  • I think that was a bull$hit move by the ref to kick him out of the game after what most ppl would consider a clean hit because he turned his back. He knew kesler was coming if you watch u can see him turn his head and then his back at the last second before the hit and then the pussy coyotes attack kesler. They should attack the goalie for giving him a suicide pass

  • @MrBigJeesh

    I agree, it was definitely a clean hit, unfortunately the NHL has to sort out some of its new rules, for now it looks a bit disorganized, I want to watch hockey not soccer.

  • I love how people keep saying he turned his back. He never once even motioned to turn his back. Not once. Pause the damn video at 1:02 and tell me if that looks like a player that turned his back. He got hit from an angle from the side that caused him to spin face first in to the boards.

    Also, linesman can call certain penalties, but on this play they did not call the penalty. The refs can ask the linesman for advice and the ref can call a penalty based on what a linesman saw.

  • @mceachernrj he cause himself to spin into the boards, the linesman made the call, the ref didn't call anything, play continued for 8 seconds after the hit was evenmade

  • @NHLArchive For somebody with a name like yours you really need to crack open the rule book and learn the rules of the game. Most people like yourself will carry on thinking you know what you are talking about despite the fact you are wrong. People like me know they are right, and have proof to back themselves up.

    33.4 Reporting to Referee - The Linesman shall give to the Referees his interpretation of any incident that may have taken place during the game.

  • The Linesman may stop play and report what he witnessed to the Referees when:

    (i) There are too many men on the ice

    (ii) Articles are thrown on the ice from the players bench or penalty bench

    (iii) When team personnel interfere with a game official

    (iv) When a player or goalkeeper who has lost or broken his stick receives one illegally

  • They may give their interpretation to the referees of any incident that may take place pertaining to:

    (i) Major penalties

    (ii) Match penalties

    (iii) Misconduct penalties

    (iv) Game Misconduct penalties

    and more.

    (v) Abuse of Officials

    (vi) Physical Abuse of Officials

    (vii) Unsportsmanlike Conduct

    (viii) Double-minor penalty when it is apparent that an injury has resulted from a high-stick that has gone undetected by the Referees

  • @mceachernrj Whether or not he turned his back is a null point. You can clearly see that he turns his HEAD and spots an incoming Kesler, and does absolutely nothing to protect himself. The hit was clean: shoulder on shoulder.

  • @woodenfeet It's a null point because he never did turn his back like so many continue to claim he did. It seems like a clean hit, in the NHL Rule book there is a rule called boarding, that says it is not a clean hit. Some people that comment on the hit may want to read what that rule says.

    In short, it says that boarding is violently hitting a player in to the boards. A boarding call on this hit is not inappropriate. Some people really need to read the rules as they keep ignoring them.

  • @mceachernrj

    Actualy he turn his Head to protect his face its a REFLEX!And the hit came then its not Dirty hit,And it wasent Morris fault!

  • @mceachernrj Hockeys a full contact sport, he got fucking mucked... That was a clean hit, the power made him go into the glass, thats not keslers fault

  • I love watching this in TEXTP

  • linesmen can't call penalty's lol

  • that night was filled with bad officiating, for both teams

  • I would give him a 2 minute minor for Boarding and leave it at that.

  • ...I certainly would not throw him out.

  • LOL guys try the TEXTp resolution !

  • Clean but boarding

  • thats easily a boarding penalty, a game misconduct is too much tho. and the fact that the refs didnt even call a penalty on the hit wtf? kesler got mauled right after. whers the penalty on that

  • clean hit he turned away after lookin right at the guy. atta be softy refs

  • guy looked and saw him coming, than turned his back and got hammered into the boards. clean hit...

  • I could see him getting a penalty for charging but a major and a game misconduct is beyond ridiculous. What the hell is up with that.

  • Clean hit for sure. The officiating vs Vancouver is starting to become ridiculous.

  • Clean hit for sure. The officiating vs Vancouver is starting to become ridiculous.

  • Clean hit for sure. The officiating vs Vancouver is starting to become ridiculous.

  • the only reason they called it so harshly is because the coyotes go apeshit

  • Clean hit... the guy saw him coming and then he puts his head down,,and then turned his back and got licked.... awesome hit Kes...

  • Its a clean hit plain and simple. If you play the game you will know its legit

  • The refs should all be embarrassed

  • Clean hit

  • if you idiots knew hockey, you would see that morris saw kelser coming last second because he turned his head, and did nothing to absorb the hit , which is what hockey players do when they see a hit coming, instead he turned his back to kesler last second, when he could have turned sideways and took if off the shoulder, the referees initianally didn't even call it, the refs are scared of the nhl and bettman, they cannot contradict the nhl's team (coyotes)

  • The original hit was righteous, a good clean hard hit. The retal was sneaky shit. the instigators of the fight should all be banned for the season.

  • The hit was not called until after the scrum happend,

  • It's a clean hit. He turned into the boards while he was getting hit.

    Can't blame kesler for that IMO...

  • Morris just took the hit awkwardly. The NHL is slowly turning into soccer, where every injury means a suspension. Ive seen so many of these lately, i hope the refs smarten up.

  • NHL refs suck dick

  • fuck...these refs learned from stephane auger.

  • refs be gay

  • clean hit, stop being a bunch of babies, if its not to the head its good, hello-- its hockey

  • It's a 2 minute penalty, nothing more nothing less

  • nice hit. this new youtube stuff is fucking gay..

  • kesler...american bitch! garbage hockey player...have fun deep throatin the boys.

  • wow thats 2 minutes for boarding at the most, kesler hit shoulder to shoulder but somehow morris turned before he hit the boards

  • That was a clean hit, Morris turned to see if anyone was coming, and then turned back. That hit was all Morris's problem. Very bad call by the referee's.

  • NICE GO CANUCKS GO

  • Man that looked very dangerous, the outcome and the hit was sort of uncalled for when Morris was in a vulnerable spot but Morris did turn so Im 50-50 on the hit

  • Morris shouldn't have turned. He looked and saw him coming.

  • he didnt turn to avoid it he looked down at the puck, kesler turned him when he hit him it wasnt keslers fault, he shouldnt have gotten kicked out but 2 for boarding would be a better call or no penalty at all it looked clean to me

  • That was such bullshit The guy saw Kesler coming and his head just snapped... There wasn't even a penalty on the hit until after the fight... refs for some reason hate the canucks...

  • 3 coyotes on 1

    so hardcore

  • when you play a tough sport like hockey,

    people are gonna get hurt, it isn't necassarly anyones fault

    shit happens

  • kesler's a pussy

  • CLEAN HIT, REFS FAIL!

  • @OviHockey1 clean hit but nobody wants to see somebodies face smashed into the boards. they were just setting an example. it was the angle of the hit that did that so its a questionable hit from behind. Even if im wrong with that. I don't want anybody to end u getting smashed face first into the boards. call it a penalty and make sure it doesn't happen every game. I wanna see clean hockey.

  • @winonasmiles true but the eduit had his head down but i can see your point of view.

  • clean... dont turn when you're going to get checked... this shit happens all the time.

  • morris is a dumbass, he turned and fucked himself up that was his fault,.. learn to take a hit.. its the Nhl your with the big boy's now.

  • I'm sorry guys. The referee was at a different angle and the linesman had a better one. If you watch the video you that Morris is hit from the side but his face is planted into the glass. He was in a vulnerable position and there was an injury and that's why its a major + game misc. Bottom line is; even though the referee didn't put his arm doesn't make it a non penalty situation.

  • CANUCKS WHAT!

  • players who turn their back arnt thinking

  • CLEAN HIT! FUCK U REFS!!!!

  • Some people can't play at the Nhl level. from what i just saw, Morris should not be there. He has got to have some board knowledge, what in the world was he thinking?

  • FUCK YOU CYOTES!!!

  • the idiot turned right when he saw kesler, the refs didn't even put there hand up at first, what about the retaliation by 3 other coyotes. bottom line, if the coyotes weren't owned by the NHL, the call would have went the other way as do many other calls. this bias and mobster type position that the NHL holds on the league and the NHLPA, has got to change, otherwise all the remaining canadian NHL cities will be out of a team, and OUR sport will be americanized

  • In my opinion, Kes would not be the "chicken shit" player here. Morris would be. He sees Kes coming, then turns because he doesnt want to be hit. If you don't want to be hit, don't play in the NHL. Good, hardworking penalty kill by #17.

  • your all drunk. morris turns cuz he saw kesler coming! no dirty play. and kesler isnt a matt cooke. hes an olympian. hard working guy

  • I DON'T like Kesler but that's a good hit! Bad call

  • Comment removed

  • Way to protect yourself Morris! Good effort. Do they teach turning towards the boards when you see a forechecker coming? Brutal.

  • I wouldn't call it a dirty hit, but it wasn't 100% clean either. Throwing him out of the game was total bullshit though.

  • @stephanie9999265

    Clean hit, agreed. Hard but clean. Fail refs.

  • Comment removed

  • That's such bull to throw Kes from the game!

  • No kidding

  • Jesus Christ, just like that AHL game Jim Playfair freaked out in. Refs in hockey are fucking clueless these days.

    Kesler can't control where Morris' body goes completely. He wasn't hurt badly either. Neither should be penalized, but the players rushing in and throwing punches should. Bieksa tackling Stempniak like that? Imagine if Stempniak wasn't wearing a helmet? He could have died, the way he hit the ice.

    So stupid.

  • ya wel than why do thre coyote guys gotta jump kesler? he could have died to... so stupid

  • i hate the new NHL, clean hit, BS that everyone went after Kesler, because he's really that type of player...come on
