Vladimir Konstantinov - Claude Lemieux hit 1996

i'm a st. louis blues fan and i used to f-in hate konstantinov. lemieux, too. they both rank up there with bryan marchment on the list of dirtiest players

You will believe totally in their performances. I apprecite Movie Watcher . Us

whats sad about this play is lemieux tries to spray ice in the goalies face. and then he whines to the ref. seriously even when he gets his shit wrecked he finds some way to show hes true pussiness

Konstanin made an AWESOME hit on Fraude LeTurtle. God I fucking hate the Turtle. Still, that limo accident ended Vladdy's career. ='(. Great hit Konstantin, you're still a badass!

and then the wings went on to win 4 of the next 10 cups.

timed it perfectly

sucks for the Red Wings because during the next game in that 1996 Western Conference Finals, Lemieux sought revenge on Kris Draper and checked him into the boards head first causing facial reconstructive surgery. And to rub it in more that game the Avalanche put a stop to Detroit's cup hopes that year. And if that was not bad enough the Avalanche went on to win the Stanley Cup!

Vladdy was one of the last true warriors of hockey. Someone who was tough and could dish it out and take it with doing all the illegal garbage you see today. We miss you terribly Vladdy!

kronwall is the modern version.

lol lemieux got torn up by red wings in his time. First this and then 1997's big brawl
