Dirtiest hit you've ever seen by a Leaf player

Was shocked Roberts wasn't suspended for it...was the one I was going to mention..Of course at least it was in the course of action but Domi's elbow on Neidermayer was not...after the whistle I believe. Tie Domi was a DB.
Domi's elbow was away from the play, but not after the whistle. It actually lead to a good Leafs chance.
Would have been interesting if they scored on the play.
Hmmm..I remember it wrong then..I could have swore it was after a whistle and Niedermayer was along the boards waiting for the players to all line up for a faceoff when Domi skated by and dropped him to the ice with a blindside elbow.
Was an extemely cheap shot on one of the best D-men in the game at the time....and really shifted the momentum in the series, IMO. The Leafs had the Devils by the gonads up until then. NJ turned it on after that and Brodeur became super-human.

was going to post it's up in the air between this sucker punch or the elbow to neids noggin.
from Domi, neither were necessary so it was more shocking that it happened.

Yup. Nasty elbow and turned the series around.
Edit: Dirtiest hit by a Leaf player may be the rumoured hit by Corson on Mogilny's wife. Can I write that?

to clear up some misconceptions about Domi-Niedermeyer
-it was during play
-none of the officials on the ice actually saw it. Believe it or not they actually went to video replay and issued Domi a match based on that
-Toronto tied the series at 2 that game, the leafs wont the next game before losing the next two

Hey, did anyone ever confirm reports that Niedermayer ended up getting off the stretcher after they hauled him off the ice and walked out of the arena himself?

If you're curious about the extent of the injury, he missed the last 3 games of the leaf series and game 1 of the next round before returning for game 2 so he was back less than 2 weeks later.

I heard that too, he got up and used a cell phone to call his wife. Whatever the case, Domi had the world's biggest brain cramp.

Domi on Neidermeyer for me as well, with a close second being Kyprios on Fuhr.
Glen Anderson had a pretty bad one as I recall too.

Even Domi said in an interview that he was disgusted with himself for it. It was his one regret he stated.
I would say the Tucker charge on Kappanen. I hated the flyers but Kappanen crawling to the bench made me a fan of his. didnt lay down, didnt quit, didnt even know where the bench was. When i think of the leafs i think of Tucker running around at full speed waiting to paste someone who was focussed on playing...hockey.
Ya if were lucky Dion will throw one of those on The Nuge this year and we'll see if you still think it's hip on hip.

I know the little boys in Edmonton don't know what a hit is but the game of hockey that most teams in the NHL play involves hitting.
Tucker's hit would've (if it is not already) been one of the greatest hits in leafs histroy. One of the "biggest" ever. The outcome afterwards changed that
