1999-00 Round 3/Game 2: Scott Stevens Nails Daymond Langkow

At this point the Flyers had just come back to take the lead 4-3, with a goal late in the 2nd, and two early in the 3rd. Daymond Langkow attempts to carry the puck over the middle but is met by Scott Stevens. The Flyers would hold on to win the game and tie the series, 1-1

Huge flyers fan here and i even miss this guy. I just miss how hockey used to be before it became like the NBA and all the star players get all the calls. Stevens would have put a bitch like Crosby in his place.

haha...langkow gets the goal but he's not gonna know that for a while

Amazing what he did and he used old school shoulder pads. Not these football type pads players wear nowadays.

Never checked from behind, etc.

Played hard and clean. I almost wish that the penalty box doorman would have let him leave and go after Domi when Domi elbowed Nieds in 2000 I think.

@stevedrums yep four elbow minors in career.

Simply the best. As a devils fan, he was the best.

And it pains me to say it, but Henrik is a top 5 goalie in the league, I don't care what anybody says.

Hockey fans need to realize who was the best, etc. without team affiliation.

Roy vs Marty? Different eras for a long time, but it's a toss up. Both better than Hasek IMHO.

Best series I have ever seen? Devils vs Rangers 1994 semi-finals. Classic.

@cjs342006 he would have get suspended multiple times also.....

[ogrebattle22763]

Its nothing Stevens hadn't done many many times before.... he is a Hall Of Fame Defensemen so I rest my case anybody who says he was a dirty player can kiss my ass...

[stevedrums]

@Mogwai211 Well stated and I am a lifelong rangers fan. In his entire career, Stevens picked up a minor elbowing penaliites. He was the best at what he did.

1 - Niklas Lidstrom - 2 - Bobby Orr - 3 - Scott Stevens

@SleeCee Respect from competitors. Keep in mind he played 1,635 games. Only five players have played more games than he has. (By this point, Stevens had already played 1,300+ games).

He also revolutionized the defense position as a hard-hitting one, perfecting the open-ice hit.

[Mogwai211]

@SleeCee the more you post, the more ignorant you reveal yourself to be. Hockey is a contact sport, put on your iPod and go watch Curling if it bothers you so much.

@Jackass4562456

goon- i mean look at how many players careers he cut short or ended or injured.

you cant say hitting a guy that hard, isn't trying to hurt him.

[Mogwai211]

@SleeCee LOL...The fact that you suggest Stevens is a "goon" confirms you are either: A. completely ignorant B. a self-hating fan of (insert any team here) C. both A and B

Stevens is arguably the greatest hitter of all time, and without question one of the greatest D-man to lace up a pair of skates. Hence his virtual instant induction into the HHoF. And yet you make an absurd comparison to Boogard...your logic is flawed to say the least.
