you should have let the vid keep going.a few replay's of that would have been great.hands down the best to ever throw a hip check.i hated him for years until he was a penguin.when he left it sucked,but i was/am still a fan of his.there isn't a better hip checker to play the game than darius.kudos to the coke head(true fact) who pattened that hit and made it famous.
He fought when he had to but if he could draw a penalty he would rather do that and he did succesfully. He can't help that the N-americans were to stupid to learn.
kasparaitis is a piece of shit that should get his ass kicked every game. I hate that pile of garbage it was a cheap hit and someone from the sabres should have ended his career that night. he's garbage.
you are garbage, idiot. you dont like him just because owned one of your favorite player or something. shut your mouth motherfucker. Kaspar is a legend!
He never fights, plus he loses them all the time hence that he was too scared to fight Grier. Grier would have whooped his ass to and I wish the refs just let them go...
Kaspar was the best hip-checker hands down! Kaspar owned on that ... it was signature! I wish more people played with his intensity. Call him a pest or whatever but he sure did what he had to do defensively and sometimes offensively. He rocked for the Pens, pretty good for the Islanders, too. I don't care if he is one of the most hated hockey players ever ... I love him!
I wouldn't consider Potvin better than him at hip-checking; it was easier for Potivn to take down people because he is huge compared to Kaspar. Kaspar perfected the art of hip-checking ... a dying art at that. Potvin may be a better d-man in many senses, but Kaspar and his hip-checks are beautiful.
Kaspar has the worst luck, he works his tail off in the offseason, cuts his hair, only to be cut from the team. NO ONE is going to take him for 3.5 million this season, unless they have to. I feel for the guy, he was my favorite player wayyyyyy back when in my college years. But once he put that Ranger jersey on, forget it, he soiled his name.
no the record of not making the playoffs is the chicago blackhawks 99-09. How lame is it that kaspartitis played more with the islanders yet never sniffed the playoffs at all. Recently, the islanders don't have a leg to stand on,as of now they are the poorest run franchise in all of hockey,so please you got nothing.

If Connolly is a God at hockey, then God forgot to exclude concussions from his creation. After the Umberger hit, Connolly should've hung them up, I can't imagine what that felt like after that hit. If you have never had a concussion, thank your lucky stars, it is the worst feeling you can imagine.
Brian Campbell hit R.J. Umberger two seasons ago during the playoffs. Unless you're confusing Peter Schaefer with Umberger, which I doubt is the case because you apparently know nothing.
I can't say this was a dirty hit, because when he played for the Isles he did this stuff to everyone and we loved it. Ironic, both were Islanders draft picks.
you dont exactly aim when you go for a hip check, you pretty much just bend over. connolys retarded for jumping, thats exactly what your not supposed to do because as you can see, you can definatly hurt yourself
His nuts got crushed.

Like the Rangers?? The Rangers have the NHL record for missing the playoffs in consecutive years.
7 years in a row, 4 with the highest payroll and with all-star roster players.
You are PATHETIC!
