Phaneuf hits Hudler

[ParadingWolves]

this sadly would be suspended now even though Hudler does this to himself. New lesson to young players, if you don't want to get hit, just always put yourself in vulnerable positions and it will be illegal to check you, instead of playing with your head up so no one CAN hit you like this.

[reyjed619]

WHY U GOTTA PICK ON AN ASIAN?

[phaneuftrainx3x]

he like bitch sit

[asuben27]

If you want to see a guy leave his feet check out Kronwall

[xMikePADDLEx94]

hmm looks like he left his feet

[monkeyinferrari44]

at first I thought the title was "phaeuf hits hitler" =P

[xXannihilationXx]

Damn, I'm a wings fan and I even think Hudler deserved it. Get your head up Happy!

[BenAllenTV]

The NHL just isn't like this anymore, everyone nowadays goes for the headshot or the elbow, you rarely see a good clean hit with the elbow in. Cheers to phaneuf on all of his clean, yet monserous hits, we salute you.

[DzekoSucks]

@BenAllenTV ya a ton of people hate phaneuf because he throws huge hits but you have to respect that hes a clean hitter (except for the occasional accident)

[DrinkSkateSleep]

Clean hits are the hardest.

[rockfan2345]

shit that was just pure devastation

[jimih64]

lol Phaneuf's a bum.

[scumatron]

@jimih64 haha u suck

[uroscarfood]

KA-BOOM



[57TsunamiNinja]

hudler disliked this with 6 accounts

[Corncrops]

Why did he have to go to a pit like Toronto? Complete waste of his talent

[max432156]

@Corncrops he didnt have a choice he was traded

[Corncrops]

@max432156 True

[HockeySnipes97]

i don't like Dion to much

But he's a good leader in Toronto

[Ed0n]

beauty old school hit

[xMILLZEx]

Why can't Phaneuf hit like this in Toronto?

[Theaterman527]

Hudler really needs to learn how to keep his head up.... He got smashed by Mike Brown in the Playoffs on a play almost exactly like this...

[Cron2527]

perfect example for why you do not skate with your head down

[kwings121]

That's Dion at his finest... Hit the smallest guy on the ice and then act a man.. Thank You Danny Cleary!!!!!

[DanGuitar9]

@kwings121 take the hit when its open, who cars if they are small

[mandy10ca]

Hockey 101 keep ur head up dumb ass///

[chriskoch2424]

@mandy10ca hockey101 look where your passing dumbass///

[naslundfan19]

Mitchellisgod your stupid kronwall only has a couple good hits in his career phaneuf has a lot clearly kronwall hasn't got up to phaneuf yet

[randomhockeyguy]

I agree with robrazburgaj - I watched it a few times, and he left his feet with his elbows up. Could have been charging or elbowing - Just because the ref didn't make a call doesn't mean that there shouldn't have been one.

[fabicasal]

@randomhockeyguy He does leave his feet but i don't see the elbows coming up at all. his arms stay up against his torso.

[CaptainJackRyan]

Now that would be considered a blind side hit to the head with the new rules

[mitchellisg0d]

Kronwall's was better..

[IrishHeroMan]

Heads up boys!

[paju18]

Phaneuf is good.iefhbgirhjbibhhowerbhj

[paju18]

Phaneuf is good.

[imakestuffcool]

KEEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[max432156]

BOOOOOOM PHANEUF!!!

[rashock12]

@ChimiChonga619 then you've never seen brian campbell's hit on rj umberger

[andrewcrossfire]

@rashock12 Probably the best hit, EVER.

[buddy24195]

clean

[hockeystick6789]

Contact to head.

[anthonychrisbradley]

@hockeystick6789 ok and?? you're allowed contact to the head, just not blinside or elbow.

[speedyacr]

suck on that bitch >:D

[speedyacr]

PHANEUF crazy hit.

[anthonychrisbradley]

He left his feet on this one. Trust me I love the guy, but sometimes he jumps a bit.

[robdmhaze]

@anthonychrisbradley he didnt leave his feet at all. he slowed up and pushes towards the player, thats how you do it. his feet never left ground untill collision which then is just that, a hit. Keep your head up.

[vandalisedjester]

PHANEUFFFFFFFF

this guy was built like a grizzly bear mixed with a bull.

you cant stop him when he comes at you, and you wont win a fight against him either, cause he'll tear you in two.

[jbold5]

he eased up a bit..he stopped skate, pivet his foot just to line him up..phanuef could of hit him way harder. but he chose not to.

[hawkplaya94]

dude theres guys like phaneuf at my school...sometimes i like guys like that and then sometimes i hate em

[f1499]

he didnt even jump and no elbow it was a good hit

[suppie100]

His momentum shifts upwards as his feet leave the ground, not a good hit you retard. That's what people call professional penalties, but I doubt you have any idea what that is.

[dameon2408]

dude slow it down ... he doesnt leave his feet until the contact was already made , he didn't jump to hit him

[XLeafsHockeyX]

totally clean, legal and awsome

[redwingz1998]

@XLeafsHockeyX hit him in the head but he didnt mean to to cuz his arm was down

[LAKNYGLAA213]

@XLeafsHockeyX

Not so legal and/or clean. Awesome yes, but he left his feet.

[MasonGillis]

@LAKNYGLAA213 Leaves his feet after the hit. Watch closely

[robrazburgaj]

@XLeafsHockeyX this wasnt a clean hit. almost clean, but phaneuf left his feet. its a dirty hit my friend. but i wouldnt expect a leafs fan 2 kno anything about hockey

[57TsunamiNinja]

@XLeafsHockeyX keep pressing 2

[TheRollingPuck]

Hudler with his head down, again...

[projectpurpose]

this guys right, legal hits and clean hits are different, but why is it that dirty legal hits are so fun to watch? cos it usually ends with someone getting levelled

[spencio]

a clean hit is when you hit within the rules, which states nowhere that you can only "lean your shoulder forward". in the nhl the player who passed the puck is still considered in posession. totally clean hit, the only reason people bitch is b/c it's the red-fags.

[BrandonANDAaron]

Yeah pheneuf is really good at hitting retards eh.... Hudler = downsyndrome

[kansanpolarbear45]

@BrandonANDAaron more like HEADdownsydrome

[flamesfan1417]

shut up man,

phaneuf is the bomb at throwing hits, you dont know hockey if you think phaneuf is an idiot

[Pucinek]

phaneuf is not hockey player......he´s an idiot...

[goflames99]

@joeshmoedmonton...you're just sore cuz the oilers suck! and you have nothign to be happy about

[GeneralMatte117]

@goflames99 I'd rather be a fag then a fucken eskamo a fucken eskamo cause the oilers take it in the ass!

[goflames99]

@GeneralMatte117 yea the oilers are terrrrible

[GeneralMatte117]

@goflames99 the fans are just as stupid as torontos' fans

[DomWorkman]

i remember watching this game live i was going crazy!

[nw1892]

you'd think that after all of these hits that jiri would have learned to keep his head up by now.

[pittsburghpenguin18]

The lesson here is to keep your head up.

[Theaterman527]

Exactly he did the same thing Vs. the Ducks in the playoffs last year and got drilled.

[npoc]

keep your head up kids!

[saultlaker9]

u dont call that but u kick kronwall out of the game for hiting havlat

[smcgrath14]

he needs to keep his head up this is the 2nd video in a row he had it down and not looking were he was going

[MATHERZ33]

@smcgrath14 youd think that he would have learned the first time

[GKennedy09]

Are you kidding me?! Phaneuf isprobably on of the hardest hitting denfencemen in the NHL.

Plus he did not leave his feet, look again you'll see that once the contact is made Hudler's feet take his feet out.

[Imthemastermind007]

maybe you didnt see the elbow to the face dumb ass

[Svatos25]

Phaneuf is THE biggest cheapshotter in the NHL, every hit he goes for the head, even if it requires jumping into them.

[newfieballer1]

@Svatos25 you sir are a completel stupid idiot .. look at all of phaneufs highlights hits everyone is shoulder to chest thats why they hurt the opponent...getting hit by a compplete 220 pounds beast in the chest with his shoulder will fuck you up and lots of the head injuries you are inquireing about . happen when the guy phaneuf hit , hits the ice and also whiplas hfro mthe force driving him back. biggest headhunter out their is ovechkin so befor you comment on cheapshots know your factskthxbye

[scuzzlebutt]

i like phaneuf, but he left his feet. my favourite phaneuf hit is the one on hamel. that hit was absolutely gorgeous.

[WoWOmgMovie]

Wow fuck gay should be suspended cause he jumped up to hit him like a little pussy

[mustangGT2333]

ATTA BOY PHANEUF

[murphythecableguy]

fu(|< yeah that was a wicked hit

nobody hits as well as Dion does hes a CHAMP!!

[TroySpartans9]

love makin open ice hits, i get so ready when i see that guy with his head down looking for the pass.

[Epikore]

dayum!

similar hit to Okposo yea? :p

[pickledcrayons]

yeah go for the hit but maybe clean it up a bit

[mcdouga1l]

first of all thats how you hit someone...with their head down at center ice...and he took out hudler too so calgary isnt loosing anyone he just took out his man...hudler just sit the fuck down

[ziggy0324]

again Phaneuf is someone who gets paid to make the big hit and get inside the other teams head and thatbig hit makes everyone out to get him and not looking on the point of the game.

[Howmuch4oral]

fucking trucked

[tydaftpk38]

Why would you hit someone when it takes you out too? Phaneuf would have been better off going for the guy with the puck, but now they are out one defenseman!

[gideonserapio]

you still have like 2-3 seconds to finish your check or hit the guy after he gets rid of the puck...so the hit was clean.

[robertinho13]

against Phaneuf, you HAVE to keep your head up. Just ask Olesz, Okposo, Hamel and numerous others. He's a tremendous player with a lot of energy. His hits are NOT cheap and NOT dirty. He keeps his feet on the ice the whole time! The other players are just trashed because they keep their head down when going to the offensive zone and Dion is punishing them. A great defender, eager to see him on one team with Bouwmeester!

[sebasboner]

Phaneuf is a fucking RIOT!

[SecretAvA777]

The train dropped you. get yuor head up

[drmario711]

yo red wing look were your going

[Jappen93]

phaneuf, you fucking dick..

[phathockeydevil]

don't diss phaneuf cuz he wrecks people faggot

[Jappen93]

shut the fuck up, you fucking faggotdickinasshole cocksucking fuck.

[irelivant]

haha look up dumby your about to get hit my a train

[friskykitty137]

Yep, thats the flames style alright, go after the little guy! fucking flames faggots

[papermache2131]

Typical Red Wing Euro trash player,make a fancy pass in the neutral zone,admire it.................and get your fucking head caved in................HAHAHAHA

[crw2893]

if your a pussy, dont play hockey

[avsfan7]

clean hit i dont like how the red wings player went after phaneuff it was a clean hit he shud no that

[pruane2isgod]

its called standing up for your teammate,

[avsfan7]

i guess ur right he was just standing up for him because he was hurt, now if it was a clean hit and he was fine that wud be weird

[ahya642]

its also called dont follow your pass and get wrecked

[siriousjoker]

fkn rocked baby wooo gotta keep ur head up or that shitl happen to u all day long

[Dubyk871]

Im a wings fan for life. but fuck hudler. ungreatful little fuck. he'd still be in the Czech on a semi pro team if it wasnt for the wings.. I hope he stays in the KHL and /fails.. GO WINGS

[mrceebees14]

That is what you get for looking at your pass.

[limsniff]

Lilja then said, "that's enough, Phaneuf"

[Bennetting]

Scared him all the way to the KHL lol.

[redwingz1998]

@Bennetting he suppossed to be back

[SundinOwnsYou]

@Bennetting LMFAOOO ur hilarious!!

[hckyboi19]

@Bennetting haha thats funny

[JonnyCanuck2]

Phaneuf sucks Canucks all the way !!!!!!!!!!

[hammy9119]

that was a nice hit

its hockey everybody needs to quit bein such pussies and keep their heads up

[AaronRStanley]

the elbow was a BIT high, but it was a clean check. Dion left his feet after the impact.

[Smeags11]

yea you leave your feet because of the momentum, for example I dont think Downie's hit on Mcammond was THAT dirty, just that it looked like he went flying in

[stew918]

Hudler was looking the other way...but Phaneuf left his feet and used his elbow. Cheap ass.

[bassist916]

I suppose if you're a Red Wings fan it looks that way. If you're a HOCKEY fan and have eyes in your head you can see that his elbow is at his hip and he doesn't leave his feet prior to the hit. He does afterward falling down due to the impact. It sucks to see one of your boys get hit clean like that but seriously you sound ridiculous calling that a dirty hit.

[redwingman24]

yeah it was a clean hit. it was an elbow but phanuefs elbow was at his hips. hudlers just a shorty

[avsrule27]

have you ever seen kronwall hit.

[Smeags11]

Kronwall's hits are all charging, Dion actually hits clean

[avsrule27]

Thats what I meant. I cant stand kronwall. While i dont really like phaneuf all that much i like the way he plays.

[motherpucker85]

brown hit him better

[17FlyersRule18]

Scott Stevens type hit. Was clean.

Funny that nowadays in the NHL, that's a "dirty shot"

THANKS ALOT BETTMAN.

[hubgapaz]

hudler never has his head up.

[1EpicLulz]

Until the Flames win something their trash talk is irrelevant. Keep crying Calgary

[emarsh93]

well said

[ShmactionFilmz]

wow love how he just takes his head off. what a cheap ass

[Fraganater5001]

Love how Hudler has his head down, not paying attention like a dumbass. Clean hit.

[ohiostte28]

one of the best hits ive ever seen...

[Wayninator777]

Hudler may be worst in the league to keep his head up.

[MikeMFMiller]

no umberger is

[MusicalTexan]

FUCK THE RED WINGS THEY ARE LITTLE CUNTFACES

FUCK U FENDER FREAK

SUCK MY HAIRY BALLS

end of red rings rant

[XCrankedvoltx23]

REd wings are going to win the cup buddy so shut your big mouth

[BRADMAYFAN24]

LOL what happen. I think the PENS WON the CUP.

[emarsh93]

i think calgary got out in the first round?

[premo626]

red wings lost

[SeanSennett94]

nice fucking head check there

[HighOnMyLife]

Hudler needs to start keeping his head up.

[ShaUNGreTzkylashLey1]

yea and hes gotta stop following his passes

[imronburgundy69]

hes a smaller and therefore more vulnerable player and for some reason bigger players like to use him to boost their confidence with huge illegal hits

[viboud]

very legal legal hit, and no its not his confidence he's boosting, it's his team's momentum

[imronburgundy69]

......and the flames are so good now because of it

[philly080]

U guys see Mike browns hit on hudler! same hit man but brown got 5 min and a game misconduct . Both plays were leagal. there just huge Hitz.

[ingeniousr]

Dion Phaneuf is a faggot and sucks at hockey period. He doesn't even care about his team anymore that's one of the reasons why they lost to the Hawks.

[sonyaxoxox]

There The Defending Champs Because The Pens Didn't Play Physical Enough, They Tried To Skate With Detroit. If The Penguins Finished Every Check Detroit Would Have Been Scared And Fucking Coughed Up The Puck, and The Penguins Would Have One, But Because Therrien A Horrable Coach, they Didnt Hit And THey Lost. Sweeds And Russians Are Pussys.

[ckhawk7]

your retarded. do you even watch hockey . even if the pens were physical detroits PUCK CONTROL is too good for them to win a game with physicality . plus detroit can be just as physical as any team in the league, they up their physicality by soo much during the playoffs. Pavel Datsyuk is one of their leading hitters. suck it bitch

[Damonrox]

if Datsyuks there leading hitter there one pussy ass team

[ckhawk7]

no theyre not . he has a lot of ice time obviously and he just plays the game skillfully as well as physically.. hes one of the top 5 players in the league for SURE

[fenderfreak999]

hey doush bag... this game isnt all about hitting... and by the way if were pussys... why the fuck do we have 11 stanley cups????? answer that u little bitch... and one more thing... it'll be 12 stanley cups this year

[MissTinajo88]

You spelled douche wrong.. ROFL nice

[Fire1067]

Say that to the 6ft 1in, 208lbs Khabibulin. I don't think he'll agree.

[jboidaman99]

Detroit outhit Anaheim last series so that makes them pussys? Outhitting the most agressive team in the league? Okay. and to Fire1067 looks like your khabibulin is about to be knocked out of the playoffs. 5-2, ouch.

[Fire1067]

Well it must be sad for Detroit to let them little boys on the Blackhawks score 2 on them. Even got a 1-0 lead but somehow blew it. *shakes head*

[sonyaxoxox]

Beautiful Hit. Hudler Gets Owned All Time, Phaneuf Is A Good Player and a great hitter, even if he left his feet, who the fuck cares, thats awesome. And It wasnt LAte At All. He was The last person to touch the puck, and it was like two seconds late, so what, fuckin stop whineing about nice hits people, just because ur pussys. Big Dirty Hits Are What Hockeys about and if u cant handle it get the fuck out of the NHL.( Detroit) Fuckin All Them Ruissians And Sweeds, Cant Handle it.

[theword10]

if they cant handle it then why are they the defending champs faggot

[BradenDotCom]

LOL DUDE

ALL RUSSIANS AND SWEDES??

whooo the frigg cares

detroit is a great team so shove it up ur ass

[Smeags11]

watch the first clip, theres less than 2 seconds off the clock, tell that little jap to stop admiring his passes, lol in the anaheim game he got owned again. That was completely clean. Phaneuf is the best hitter in the league flames own

[steelrs]

hahhah juri hudler always gets owned

[Demondog851]

i think its a clean hit but i also think it is on the line of late and not late

[jmulchino]

Everyone is focussed on the "leaving his feet"argument. The hit was dirty because it was LATE!!!

[kfergy77]

thats was very late

[canuck1992]

If you are within a stick length (or already committed to the hit as phaneuf was) it doesnt count as a late hit. Thats called finishing your check. Also if you leave ur feet after making contact its clean, as long as its just an extension of the hit and not the hit itself.

[jmulchino]

canuck1992, one, he was about 5 stick lengths away and two, the "committed" factor does not hold water anymore in the new NHL. A slow moving defenseman in the old NHL could "commit" and make the hit five minutes later and refs would let it go. Not anymore. It was a bad call, period.

[kfergy77]

at 11 seconds when he passes the puck he was about 2 stick lengths away

[azazaz1717]

wow you think he would learn but no!! gets rocked the same way tonight in the game vs anaheim bah

[somekindofhate94]

Are all refs blind? Every time Dion Phaneuf lays a "big hit," he leaves his feet. If you don't believe me, go watch some more videos.

He takes cheap shots and targets smaller players but he doesn't suffer any of the consequences. I love the Gary Bettman NHL.

[keatross]

Actually he targets the guys with their heads down.

[pinkletoes]

Also.. Look where huddlers feet are before he hits the ice he basically swept phaneufs feet... gotta take that into consideration

[hckyplyr20]

Message: Don't Keep your head down. As an center of a hockey team it's my job to do exactly what Hudler did, just not keep my head down. My coaches can't stress that enough

[keatross]

Yeah, hudler should stop admiring his passes

[viktorgunnarsson]

i hate when people says like "oh, he left his feet it's 2 minutes for charging". That's just bullshit. He left his feet AFTER the hit.

[bishoppx]

Leaving your feet to make a hit is not really legal. Of course I wouldn't expect him to realize that.

[abzapthane]

Dion Phaneuf = going for hit > +/- > playing defence > being in position

[Geoman1010]

elbow to the face?

[AnaheimDucks39]

what a surprise, a red wing laying in the fetal position
