Fuck all of you guys, Phaneuf is the best hitter, defense and he has the best shot from the point. And by the way its called finishing the check, you'd know if you actually played hockey, or at least followed it

@theguyinblue ok calm down, even if this comment is a year old, i rather have doughty who hits better and is better in both zones, just to let you know...

DAMN!

[Maverrick11]

@theguyinblue what i wanna know is why he is totally useless playing like a scared little bitch in toronto, toronto kills everyones career

[Zidane388]

The #1 open ice hitter in the NHL = DION FUCKING PHANEUF!!!!

[rocketsauced]

Nope, I'm serious, he's out of position. I've watched him enough to know he is not a position player and goes for big hits when he shouldn't. Sorry, but he often goes out of his way to put on a big hit; thus taking him out of play and out of position.

[theguyinblue]

your just saying that because you cant play hockey for shit

[theguyinblue]

have you ever watched hockey in your life!??! if being a good hitter is your definition of a goon, than the nhl consists of alot of goons

[theguyinblue]

are u fucking kidding!?! he's a great defense, and even still to what ur sayin he's better than niedermayer, seabrook, keith and pronger easily!

[rocketsauced]

Phaneuf is a great hitter, I agree. However, he is not a great defenseman. His tendency to go for big open ice hits takes him out of position. As I understand it, this is exactly why he isn't on Canada's olympic team. They want players that are defensively responsible, especially when it comes to a defenseman.
