Rank these body checks:

Phaneuf on Malkin WJC 2004, Phaneuf last night, Brule last night?

I'd say:

1) Phaneuf on Malkin
2) Brule on WHL vs Russia
3) Phanuef on WHL vs Russia

Wow that little Brule at 5'10, that was a great clean hit :bow:


I assume you mean Phaneau'f hit on Rotislav Olesz?

The Brulé hit ranks at #1 among those imo. It was clean, hard, coming of nowhere and unsuspected. It gave the WHL team so tempo too, right at the beginning of the game. I think that those are momentum hits. Especially when it comes from skilled forwards.

Brule hit one of best ever

Bodychecking is one of the skills he is very good at. Too bad he had the Flu and couldn't play much after that hit.

There are a number of hits from both guys that are pretty damn big.

Phaneuf on Olesz takes the cake.

Talking about little guys... Anybody remember that textbook hipcheck Bergeron laid on Morrow in the 2003 Playoffs. Absolute beauty.

I think I've got an animated gif of that

Can we also include Ovechkin's hit on Gonchar?

My favourite junior hit was Brind'Amour on Mogilny in the WJC's years ago.

Anyone have video clips of the hits last night? I couldn't watch the game.

Well, if I do recall correctly neither of them were prospects at the time of the hit now were they?

For some reason I always remembered that as Hudler and not Olesz. Or am I thinking of another hit? I really have a poor memory actually :dunno:

Didn't someone level Hudler last year?

Nope, my mem was definitely wrong. It was Olesz. I need to have something fixed.
