He doesn't fight them when he makes illegal hits either dude. WTF kinda enforcer/big hitter hides behind his teammates after a hit. He has smarted up and laid back on his hitting. Helps he is now playing the role of a number 1 defender. Honestly though, if it wasn't for Detroit's shortage on defense, I'd recommend he be moved to a forward spot. He isn't that big of a guy so it helps with his speed, he has shown he can shoot, and he would be allowed to hit and not be caught out of position.

no your confused, kronwalled means a hard clean hit that usually knockes the crap out of an opposing player, then the idiots on the other team try to fight him and being a smart palyer he doesnt retaliate which gives his team a powerplay. how bout looking up some kronwall hits before you leave a comment, dumbass

If it was the other way around, Doan would have stayed on the ice for a lot longer

its funny reading comments about hits. doesnt matter if its a clean hit or dirty. the fans of the person who got hit will say it was a dirty hit, or it was late, or it was a cheap shot. the fans of the player who did the hit will say it was a good clean hit, he was finishing his check, or the other person didnt have their head up.

in this case, it was a good clean hit in which doan was finishing his check, and kronwall wasnt watching where he was going. GO YOTES! :D

Borderline cheap....a little late....

Pretty good hit, lol I love all the butt hurt Detroit fan boys on here!

So what your saying is getting kronwalled means typically a dirty/illegal hit where kronwall then runs and hides and has to have his teammates drop the gloves for him while he either strolls to the penalty box or the locker room hurting his team leaving them to kill a penalty.

no the play wasnt stopped, no medics were called in, and there were no fights. this was just a hit. getting kronwalled is when all those things i mentioned above happen
