Janssen hits Kaberle K.O.

[deltagent13]

belak fucked him up

RIP

[NJDevils1087]

That was never a penalty in the old NHL and it shouldn't start to be one now. Play on.

[moffattjohn17]

thats dirty

[hockeyman8130]

that was a perfectly clean hit. he has two seconds to hit the man, and thats all he took was two seconds.

[mkbk9]

that hit broke his neck :(

[RageMachinie]

no it didn't.

[JustCope]

yea that hit was a cheap shot... not so much a dirty hit ... hit him shoulder to shoulder its the way he went into the boards.. but way way late no need to make a hit like that but then again ... nothing was done about ... the gloves should of come off for sure

[twig187]

yeah that was way late. sad that Toronto did nothing back.

[17MJG93]

@twig187 The Leafs made some stupid decisions in terms of their line-up that year... the only legit tough guy they had was Belak, and they didn't even dress him half the time

[ScottStevens3DevCups]

As a Devil Fan..BIG Janssen fan, I'll admit late hit..But, Fucking funny as HELL! Awesome late Knockout hit by Janssen. I love you janssen

[vivalescanucks01]

How was this funny, one of my favorite defensemen got nailed, and it was a cheap shot!

[billyjoelsux]

Consider it payback from Niedermayer Domi. Even though Niedermayer was already on Anaheim at the time . lol

[SLav15]

How the fuck was this funny!? even though i hate the mapleleafs i gotta say that this hit deserves a suspension. this was a fuckin cheap shot!

[motorheadfan17]

Canadiens2k7101 is a fucking idiot

[LurkingInToronto]

Canadiens2k7101 you are obviously slow so there's no point in trying to explain a late hit to you. Moron please drink all those liquid bottles under your kitchen cabinet.

[Canadiens2k7101]

OMG KABERLE GOT OWNED, fucking fags saying its dirty, that was a perfectly fine hit. PS. GO HABS!

[Thrillme69]

perfectly fine??? are you retarded. janssen is a sack of shit.

[stefy71]

you pretty much sub up habs fans. stupid as fuck, with zero hockey sense.

[LurkingInToronto]

hey lakings13 please kill yourself. kings are a garbage team and that city is full of bandwagonrers. fag.

[Ranga195]

That hit wasn't dirty. It was an awesome check. Just unfortunate that Kaberle banged his head into the boards. Hockey is a contact sport, and it should be played as such. Just because someone gets hurt doesn't automatically make a play dirty.

[ScottStevens3DevCups]

Exactly, This is the old good hockey were seeing from janssen. Heavy hits, long fights. But the new nhl is just a bunch of pussy hockey. You cant hit anyone with having some asshole upstairs in a suit and tie having to go over the replay and give out suspensions and fines. Great check, just the afterwards of Kaberle hitting his head into the boards that got him hurt. End of discussion.

[plangster3]

Definitely a late hit directed at the head. If the NHL wishes to have any talented players left, they will outlaw head shots.

[NJDevils1087]

This is just a good (but unfortunately a tad late) example of FINISHING A CHECK, something the "New NHL" apparently considers a bad idea, you know, playing defense.

[NJDevils1087]

Everyone says "the feet came a little bit off the ground." Please... if you watch Stevens hitting Lindros back in the day, it looked like he jumped, but it's only because Lindros is a tall oaf. If this play happened on time, it's as clean as Stevens pwning both Lindros and Kariya. Only reason for any action by the league is the lateness.

[VooDooRocketry]

Headhunting, and especially headhunting a day late, is nothing any unskilled player can't do. Give the boy Janssen a skirt for the next game, until he earns some respect. What a woman!

[bamboozled101]

fucken owned!

[Centurion86]

cheap hit,i used to like janssen but now i relize that he is an asshole

[ovechkin123789]

Nhl tried to take hitting out of the leauge with all the new rules. I love hitting in hockey.

[lakings13]

Leafs are a bunch of crybabies,losers par excellence since 67'! Leaf Nation's national sport? golf!!! ha! ha!

[craigm3]

dude fuck you 10cam10...cam janssen is an mean player and he hits hard, but if you're going to hit, don't be a bitch and make it a cheapshot...10cam10 here is the reason people hate hockey...you're a fuckin douche.

[10cam10]

best hit ever. Late my ass it was like 1 sec.

[jneekkbird]

Karma comes to the leafs. I suppose it was Kaberle's fault just as it was Peca's fault and K Jonsson's fault in '02....that's what the leafs and their fans claimed.

[meiringen]

Referees Kelly Sutherland and Brad Watson didn't call a penalty.

They should better suspend the refrees!

[screamingeagle7]

holy fuck

[train09wreck]

dear buffalo fan: stop crying about the hit, even drury said it was clean. kanx.

[train09wreck]

Dirty hit, he should have gotten way more than 3 games

the idiot doing the color commentary should keep his mouth shut about neil on drury cos anyone who knows anything about hockey knows that was a clean hit.

[Klynn14Oilers]

I don't care for the Leafs, but seeing hits like this makes me sick. Kudos to Tucker for at least yelling at Janssen. And for the refs not even to call a penalty on it? Stupidity.

[chak3226]

Late hit yeah, but Darcy Tucker who is a huge pussy AND a dirty player has got no place opening his trap.

[dreamryche]

This stuff is getting out of hand. That was worse than the Neil hit on Drury a couple weeks back, and that one was a pretty nasty cheap shot. Janssen ought to be suspended, and not some pansy 1 or 2-game thing. As the Leafs showed by not doing anything about it, the players aren't policing themselves. The league needs to take a stand against these needless cheap shots.

[Joshua062971]

At least Kaberle saw his hit coming...Drury got it from behind...

[13foxracer]

he ddnt c it coming he was looking away then like a second befor he got hit he saw him

[WiLMaster001]

Seemed like a fair hit to me.

Just cause kaberle is a bitch and can't take a hit doesn't mean janssen is in the wrong.

[kamakazi90]

are you serious? it was a hit to the head and then his head smashed off the boards. oh but kaberles a bitch? no no no... your just a little fucker. wilmaster001, you are a fuckface. if janssen got drilled like that i bet he would be a puss bag. so shut the fuck put no one whats to hear the shit. kaberle is the heart and soul of toronto. And you should be knopcked out just has hard as janssen needs to be.

[dreamryche]

Fair hit?! I'm sorry, but no. I hate the Leafs, but that hit was total bullshit and Janssen deserves a suspension. That was nothing but a cheap shot. For one, Kaberle had no real reason to expect to be plowed like that...the play was long over. (yes, a second and a half counts as 'long' in a situation like this) Second, Janssen came in low and nearly left his feet to put a shoulder right in Kaberle's head. There's a better replay that shows only his toes on the ice at impace.

[mikeyrocks11]

dude i think ur one of janessens bitches am i right?

[kahansko]

Why did no one take on Janssen? When it actually happened, the play was already going the other way so no one even saw it! Belak wasn't dressed and neither was Tucker. I just cant believe there was no penalty, the ref was looking right at it. March 20 they play again, but in Toronto. Should be a good one.

[cans54]

i was at that game..and when he was being carried out they all atood up up the devil fans cheered

[alexwarner1]

I'd hope they cheered. Although it doesn't surprise me that the fans in the Armpit of America would be classless. It's an order of hockey to support an injured player, regardless of what team he is on.

[cans54]

i no but people says tht they didnt cheer

[budmcblunt]

how come no one had the balls to stand up for tom? he is the real heart of that team and no one even fought for him tucker had to yell at the guy from the tunnle next the the bench

[xxxJeahxxx]

how does someone even have the balls to do that to KABERLE?

thank god i was working while this game was on. i would have left my house to murder someone. kaberle is my favourite player and it fucking kills me to see such a blockhead asshole do that

[ibanezrg470]

Suspend this lowlife,that wuz cheap hit dude,belak janssens hungry so go feed that lame ass some rites...

[elias026]

Janssen already fought belak, belak got owned. just to tell you
