I tell it like it is
And that is what makes Phaneuf one of the more interesting defensemen in the league and the main reason he is making so much $$$.
Great hit
are you implying that i said canadians are immune to concussions
way to miss the point brah
n1cON
bleeds blue ! ! !
I hope it doesn't come to that, because I hate goon hockey. However, the fact is that Artyukhin punches out Canadian goons in the KHL like Josh Gratton on a regular basis. He is listed at 6'5", 260, so he's probably big and strong enough to hold his own against Phaneuf if he had to.
The fact that he had 3 different teams in 3 season's in the NHL while compiling 19 goals in 200 games shows the quality of player he is.
Anything he does after the whistle isn't playing hockey

Nah. We hate that part of the game and north americans always soak it up that much better.
I love Phaneuf b.t.w. God I miss ol' fashioned hockey.
Edit: Wow, just noticed the thread was started by Dany Heatley Allstar....double whammy!

Huh, yourself. What don't you get? While generally just sticking it to euro-hater vezna I also noticed the video just happened to feature the thread-starters fave player being put on his ass, by a Swede. What are the odds?
Not that I'm trying to pick a fight or anything. I like Heatley just fine.

In swiss tv they said that they were afraid that he swallowed his tongue.
But it was a great hit. You could see that the momentum clearly changed after the hit.

Very nice, very clean hit, good to see that Moser was OK, looked scary for a second when he passed out on the bench.
And why do these threads always descend into Euro vs. Canadian bickering? Vezna is an idiot, just ignore him, no need to get super defensive.

Heard of Hough
Why are the Canadians whining, open your freaking eyes, he wasn't in the penalty box at any point.

Oh, you darn kids with your internet irony, hippety hop and baggy pants on the ground...
My bad. Guess I should have guessed, huh? Who in their right mind would pick a name like that and mean it?
Funny videos. News to me.

Haha, sorry I'm a disgruntled Sens fan like the guy who made the video.

Well, it's not like Canadians are physically stronger than European or Russians (dream on). ;-)
We are talking about two different ways of playing hockey, simple as that.
Young players leaving early for North America sometimes develop a physical style on their own, like Sweden's Douglas "Crankshaft" Murray in San Jose Sharks.
Kronwall is a good and powerful open ice hitter.
These are only two examples of european players which outplays the majority of Canadians in the physical part of the game. The list can be much longer.
