I always hate the argument "if Scott Stevens played in the league now he would get suspended all the time". He's not in today's NHL, argument over. The NHL he played in had different rules and he played by those rules. Why should Scott Stevens have to assume what future rules would be and then follow those? Within those rules the man was a clean hitter. The only reason Scott Stevens gets labeled as a dirty player over any other hard-hitter is because he was one of the greatest.

Maybe Kariya should learn not to casually admire his pass as he crosses the blue line during the STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS! Come on guys this is the NHL...Every kid is taught to keep their head up especially when skating laterally across the offensive blue line. Most of these hits are during the playoffs where stakes are higher and physical play is necessary. How can anyone expect Stevens not to clock these guys?

Wrong, they were shoulder hits, and the natural reaction is for you arm to follow through, Elbow hits are not in any of these.

Elbows directly to the head on most of these. Glad they don't accept those anymore. He literally ruined Kariya and Lindros' careers.

If he's on your team he's the greatest, but anyone with any sort of objective thinking that knows hockey knows he was outside the rules more often than not. Dude was cheap, but also a great defender (which you can't dispute).

I just love Scott Stevens and he was also a plus 52 an nhl record

how do you even hit a guy like lindros that hard. you gotta be made out of cement to do that. didn't even take a run at him he just knows how to hit

[NakkiapinaFTW]

I'm glad rules got changed. I don't want my idols to get killed.

"The NHL he played in had different rules and he played by those rules." - No he didn't play by those rules. When a lot of your hits result from players going off the ice with injuries, and you get suspended, you are not playing by the rules. Any goon can go out there and head hunt. By the way, go check out how many times Stevens had his clock cleaned, that's the way it goes, you dish it, and you receive it. I'm not saying he wasn't great, I'm saying he had to be dirty to help win all those cups

LINDROS IS BETTER THAN STEVENS

[Kush Money]

Today's players are a bunch of whimps compared to the players back then
