Dion Phaneuf showing how to "Phaneuf"

[reyjed619]

DIRTY thats a 5 gamer fo sho

[Sarando1]

@reyjed619 Go back to playing field hockey pussy. That was a clean hit.

[ChrisSousaPortugal]

@reyjed619 Thats a dirty hit?LOL Shoulder, thats clean, especially in 03 . Its a beauty thats for sure only pussies who can't take hits call this dirty

[hanmerboys]

@reyjed619 completly clean

and did you say 5 game for sholdering?? you must be soem euro pussy

[fready2009]

@reyjed619 That hit was as clean as any hit ever thrown.

[rockfan2345]

that was cleaner than my mom n thts fucking clean

[NatureFavor]

he got 2 min elbow because of the motion after the hit...

[fready2009]

@NatureFavor No, he got a 5 minute major and a game misconduct because the refs are blind. Their is no such thing as a penalty because of a motion after a hit. Stop making things up.

[NatureFavor]

@fready2009 dude... there is! idk how many times ive gotten a penalty because of my motion after i landed the hit.

[xcteeterx]

clean

[lpuck4]

Europeans cant play or call hockey for shit

[PankisDaMan]

@lpuck4 And still the NHL call lots of europeans... WIERD!!

[ReelsOnWheels88]

clean hit!

[nsakic]

This is 2005 World Juniors in Grand Forks, ND. This was the dream team! where they pounded Ovechkin in the final.

[oxymoron2727]

Where you last name can be used as a verb... your doing it right.

[wagstaff11]

peaceout front teeth

[acousticmaster15]

watch his right foot after the hit...

[charliezwinky]

dirty hit to head

[canflippuck6]

@charliezwinky Not a dirty head to the head, but a hit to the head. Dion can't help he was up higher on that hit.

[57TsunamiNinja]

@charliezwinky STFU BITCH

[fready2009]

@charliezwinky W-R-O-N-G spells WRONG.

[kingrocca]

he should play soccer -.-

[kralik663]

no jo no, mezi moje přednosti zrovna nepatří práce s hokejkou...mám tak akorát dostatečnou techniku...ale vynikám hlavně v rychlosti a vysokou stabilitou, takže jako křídlo se mi hraje nejlíp...snažím se co nejrychleji napadat obránce a nedovolit je rozehrát...hlavně mě tohle baví, takže do toho dávám při zápase všechno....taky je pravda, že jsem utrpěl nedávno otřes mozku, ale hrál jsem ještě měsíc dál a divil se proč mě pořád bolí hlava. Pak jsem měl 6 zápasů pauzu.....ale to ňák nevadí... :D

[kralik663]

In slow time It was clean, but on the first look it looked like that he had arms in air. On the other side It was very nice hit.

I'm from Czech republic and I like this style. I do it too, it's my game...

[bongosaj]

@kralik663 tady někdo miluje hity...I do so :-) haha

[akoolkidsproduction]

thank god he playes for toronto now...

[ALPHADOG3]

@akoolkidsproduction well he wears the jersey  anyhow :)

[83Oil88ers89]

only reason it got called was he lifted his arm after the hit....wound up getting 5 and the game for that.....but the guy was not in good shape after...collapsed at the bench and they had to stretcher him....any one know what happend after that?

[57TsunamiNinja]

@83Oil88ers89 FBI agents should be refs,this was a clean hit,it happens to me too ,i lift my arm after a hit and they call it an elbow ,fuckin pussy bitches refs

[PDpirates182]

penalty for following through?

[khatton118]

CLEAN!!!!!!!

[brahmabullfan]

CLEAN!!!! youre allowed to follow through, elbowing the air isnt supposed to be a penalty

[brahmabullfan]

no penalty there,. youre allowed to follow through with your arm after the had, you cant get penalized for elbowing the air :S

[rockfan2345]

@alisamehsabet dose look like i nice boot lol

[bfang666]

omg SOOO CLEAN!

[MoreFaithNo]

clean

[goanyways]

HAHA cleannnn as a whistle buddy Dion Phaneufed his ass!

[HISHAM931]

tht was clean the czech player saw that coming

[mapleleafs95959]

CLEAAAN!

[dannyplouffe]

In regular speed it looks like an elbow so can't really fault the ref.

[xxMLTxx]

LOL cmon the refs had to call something thats not even fair, thats like getting hit by a truck

[hoodfan96]

@xxMLTxx check out the hit on denis hamel and ull see hes a truck thats nothing here

[AnalDan]

Thank you Calgary, enjoy the trade LOL

Go Leafs Go!!!!

[Coulddousin]

u can see why the ref made the call though, at high speed it looks borderline and they're supposed to call hits to the head anyways, there's a difference between a clean NHL hit and a clean IIHF hit.

[TheHockeybeast17]

tht was clean

[tylerdurdonxx]

Great hit. Totally clean. 

[moneyball69]

it's clean in the nhl but the iihf automatically calls a penalty for any hits to the head

[jocknerdman64]

THATS AS CLEAN AS SOAP!!!!

[Shnail22]

cleaner than Mr. Clean!

[EclipseMetal08]

What the hell? There was no elbow at all on that play. Bad call.

[marcmantione]

He's a leaf hahahaha

[elmntx32]

I don't understand World Championship officiating. They always call a big hit elbowing then once they see the person who got hit is injured its automatically a game misconduct.

[xjedimindx]

Yeah the International reffs sux. I like what they did in the Olympic Final used the best reffs from the NHL..

[Arc333Angel]

It's a good, clean hit--no elbow, no forearm, no leaving his feet. The guy starts to glance down at the puck just as Phaneuf comes in with the shoulder. Bad, bad, bad idea. Phaneuf is playing the body. It's a textbook defensive play. The other guy was playing like Phaneuf wasn't even there. What was he thinking?

[f1499]

yay we get to see this in toronto now

[mikerotethis]

is there a video where dion "phaneufs" someone with a slapshot at just about point blank ? i cant find it lol

[aznxfighter619]

CLEAAN

[hockeyrules8927]

phaneuf doesnt jump its just he hits the guy so hard he falls to so he ends up in the air when he hits his feet are on the ice then after they come up cause hes falling cause it was such a powerful hit

[AEMoreira81]

You saw it. At the time of contact, his right skate remains on the ice for a while even after the hitm and it's a shoulder to face hit on the player that had the puck. Clean!

[MrSoundmate]

I really dont think many of Phaneufs hits are clean any more, he usually jumps a few inches off the ground for his harder hits, still great fun to watch though

[Mangamaster71]

Tottally CLEAN

[ballgirl4113]

clean

[nickkmk5]

clean... When will International ref's grow some balls?

[Zenkka]

yep as a Finnish guy I'm still anticipating that. Before that happens I prefer Nhl. Even tho at first look it looked like he left he's elbow but that is due to the quality of this vid. Clean hit

[flames101sulaiman]

clean

[xJTF2x]

Clean hit, bad refs.

[HawK2KOne]

old time hockey

[bradenjlloyd]

Phaneuf is going to bounce bak and be a Norris candidate, ESPECIALLY since he's playing under his junior coach again.

[flamesfever321]

CLEAN!

[totalownage3]

@flamesfever321 yea that was clean the player just ate shit after

[hockeyskillz92]

im pretty sure the only reason the ref called that was because phaneuf is just a giant compared to that other guy, so even though his elbow was down it was still at the other dudes face practically lol.

[489215014]

ya man this guy got fucked up he swolled his mouthguard and spent a few days in the hospital

[kirant]

Czechs don't know how to avoid Phaneuf.

Running into Phaneuf never ends well.

[martypowers]

Excuse me. I'm a Euro. Tit.

This is a clean hit from the King.  Crap officiating.

[flyers10200]

he got fucked up, but the stupid euro fucks can't understand that hockey is a contact sport

[LeafsFanInOttawa]

Shut the fuck up!

[showstopper326]

isn't that still illegal since its a blow to the head?

[trev0rlind3n]

no because he was hit hard to the chest which caused his head to jolt back

[manbones]

At regular speed I thought he got his elbow up, but in slow motion you can see his elbow down at his side.

That was just a hard hit.

[SKGthatzme]

bahaha I love the announcer.. Just by the end hes like I dunno olez is a good player...

[Milhouse224]

No elbow there...that's what you get for having European refs.

[goleafsgo0293]

there was no elbow.

[honzakat]

Phaneuf what a faggot. Olesz would have owned him if not for the elbow.

[Smeags11]

lol are you a fucking retard or what?

[Bulldogs119]

lmfao a one on one collision with Phaneuf is NEVER going to end well for Olesz . . . . accept it.

[Siniset]

The referee is Swedish.

[fagel258]

he swallowed his mouth guard? wtf?

[AzzuriBello90]

ah! european rules...it was close to the head...so european...blah!

[chopsy61]

fucking finnish refs

[RotiWithChai]

gay call

[twistaa1]

legal hit... lool

[jolechat]

Elbow? Come on!!!

[SSBD]

If he really wanted the int'l refs favor he should have unleashed a two-handed slash on Olesz, they probably would have looked away or given the Czech a misconduct for obstructing some beautiful eurotrash stickwork.

[FeastyBeasty]

he caught that fucker clean. Damn Int'l refs...

[shanimal47]

Awful call.

[Hamburgler55]

Garbage call.

[rdog2222222]

haha i saw dion and his girlfriend in PEI the other day at the exhibition

[Yourlocaltaliban]

i helped serve them at the dayboat, i nearly shit my pants when i realized it was him :p

[conorthompson89]

from now on im keeping my mouthguard attached to my cage lol

[Pumanic]

outch, swalloving the mouth guard? O_O I would puke all over if I swalloved one O.o''

[lobreiter1025]

Wow that is possibly the worst call ever, if Phaneuf had his elbow up that guy would not be getting up, he would be dead

[runnindead]

hahaha ya right!!!

[cowboyzsuk81]

phaneuf...good for being a total clutz, and good for cheap shots

[dharmafreak]

Totally clean hit.. Euro's are just scared of being hit.

[smithson876]

classic phanef.... buzz on

[CalgaryFlames49]

that is what you call a body chek that ref is the gayest ref ever

[adamerdwin]

clean hit! he should be given the teeth as a reward!

[jacktheripper626]

Clean baby. Best hitter in hockey.

[sR3Fatal]

crappy euro refs.

[keil97]

anyone have a clip of phaneuf destroying those 2 russians in the same stride in the gold medal game?

[IginlaRox]

wth that was not elbowing those refs r crap

[00StangGT00]

those refs must of been european, they always seem to think clean bodychecks deserve penalties

[CaptainMcDangle]

Stupid European officials giving him a penalty for giving a CLEAN hit.

[sabresrock17]

how to phaneuf lol

[msaiks]

It was a hard call to make, but understandable. After the replay though, you can see it was obviously clean.That's just how Phaneuf plays.

[evanl6]

remind me how that was dirty?...he got kicked out of the game for that eh?

[powellm1k]

It shows the stupidity if those posting comments... Phaneuf has been creaming people since junior... That hit like the majority of others are clean... If you try to go low you get an elbow in the head.... His elbow on this hit was against his body. He opened it up on the follow through which it 100% clean...

[pwall04]

it baffles me how this can be considered a dirty hit

[JFlyJr]

its because the refs dont see that good

[vercaberca]

European hockey skills confronted with typical canadian brutal attack against player's head

[josh17beaton]

or European owned, by a check, which is part of hockey

[nickkipguitar]

im pretty sure were the ones who made hockey we know how it works apparently he doesnt have the right skills for hockey if he cant stay in a game because he has his head down

[hanan9]

It was a dirty hit only because it was a head shot, but if Olesz was half a foot taller it would be a sexy sexy hit.

[mrpeeps]

that headshot shit is ridiculous, keep your head up. he's got a job to do in stopping offenders, should the players just wait everyime someone isn't ready for a hit?

[wrobinson7]

Exactly! I've had an ongoing arguement about the Stevens hit on Lindros. Check out the video and comments. Especially where I state that a player shouldn't be given a free pass to the net just because he's got his head down.

[susdlnskafw]

that was such a beautiful shot I cried; I mean, he hit a czech in the head and, as I've said many times before, they don't have any brains, anyways (just like Russians, though not like swedes who have no guts)

Man, I could see hits like that all day long!

[GoatsGoneWild]

fucking owned

[glum68]

Let me guess, it was a European ref that called the penalty?

[CGLN]

Probably American. They've always been the worst refs at this stage, since the days of the infamous Alex Dell.

Still, I think it was a clean tackle.

[k00ksa]

Clean hit, even the annoucers say it is. What kind of call is that. He isn't a dirty player if you watch it his elbow is tucked in now sticking out.

[coulee32]

it was a head shot because his shoulder hit this guys face but his elbow is tucked when he makes contact so its clean. the refs just called something because he hit him "too" hard for european hockey haha

[keefe2007]

yea i agree, i hate people that say it was an elbow because his elbow oped up after he hit the guy

[jimmyjamescanada]

totally was a clean hit, just the europeans fly in the air and then stay on the ice, then get carried off on the stretcher and that makes it look like a dirty hit

[noomegaXXX]

head shot my ass. that was a clean hit, olesz tried to avoid the hit but ran into phaneuf shoulder.

[bump123]

dion Phaneuf showing how to "be a dirty player"

[bieksalvr3]

If that's dirty

Then Scott Steven's was the dirtiest player ever !!!

[EveningsGlory]

you are so stupid! that was NOT dirty. Watch his elbow, out, and when he htis it pulls it in.

[mitchF430]

That wasn't an elbow, but it was a dirty hit

Shoulder to the head

But Dion couldn't do much about it

[brendan181]

watch at :53 in, he aims it square for olesz's chest and olesz tried to make a fancy move around him putting himself in position to get KTFO. this wasnt dirty at all phaneuf is just a dominant hitter

[mitchF430]

Looked like a head shot

[bieksalvr3]

It mightve LOOKED like a headshot

But he kept his elbow down & in

& then like Brendan said

Olesz tried to make a move around him

Not to mention Phaneuf has a few inches on Olesz

[northerncomfort99]

DION!!! Holdin it down.Keep your head up

[zetter90]

niiice!!

[Hamburgler55]

Where was the elbow?

[Warmachine012]

that was a garbage call

[ncrproductions]

thats was all fucking shoulder baby

[Wiensy29]

*that

[Wiensy29]

Are u f-ing blind the was clean

[NbaRapLover]

i dont think they have the word "Phaneuf" in

Czech Republican dictionaries.

[Dajjen]

he went in elbow first, cheap..

[bieksalvr3]

LOL

Were you even watching?

Phaneuf kept his elbow IN

& then AFTER he had the hit, it came up.

[bieksalvr3]

Oh & also

the height difference between them

made it look worse than what it was.

[nesa593]

29 NHL teams and their fans hate Dion Phaneuf. 29 NHL teams and their fans would LOVE it if Dion Phaneuf came and played for them. Luckily for me...... GO FLAMES GO! lol oh, and they say the only time Darryl Sutter has smiled in public is when he signed phaneuf.....

[northshore393]

i remember watching that a while ago. I was so mad they kicked him out.

[asdklhksahas]

the czechs said, "phaneuf is phaneuf" (enough is enough)

[Jasonagf]

lmfao

[conordXXX]

showing how to phaneuf???....nerd

[VANNYVANNYVANNY]

if u watch hockey u will no hwat it means

[conordXXX]

i do watch hockey, wow, hes a good hitter,

[tieg38]

that was not a elbow that was a shoulder

[sweettiffany99]

I love Dion...Can you HIT ME?...lol 1 word...SEXY!
