Players who are dirty but get often not called for it

[Calgarybrutalist]

Not sure if it's still the case but when Paul Byron was on the flames he would run around crush people all game and didn't seem to care if it was late or from behind. I think he caught a lot of players off guard because he's small, but he would crumple two or three guys a game.

Edit: A lot of the Nashville guys are sneaky dirty. Also Nate Thompson, going back to his lightning and ducks days.

Some years ago (10 +) one player recalled, that Bryan Marchment came with an interesting offer to him: "I can tell you how to broke leg without anyone will notice it."

Maybe Oshie shouldn't skate face first into Malkin's shoulder

Perhaps Crosby shouldn't have skated face first into Steckel's shoulder, eh?

No surprise. Probably the dirtiest player I've ever seen in the NHL. He had a massive reputation for being filthy, but he was way, way worse than that and it boggled my mind how he was allowed to stay in the league for so long, blatantly damaging careers and lives.

 

[JasonRoseEh]

Honestly Marchand. I feel like everyone knows he's dirty but he's hardly ever taken to task or suspended, hell he's often commended.

 

[JasonRoseEh]

seriously what is Chara doing??? How does one ref not make a call? He is literally sitting on him just pounding on him..

I watch almost every Caps game, he does this a lot. It's like he can't stand someone actually having the audacity to try and hit him.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

A shame to see this turd in DC, now doing what he did in Boston. Retire you fool. Bonehead move by the Caps

The horror. This happens more often than you'd think, players tying each other up on the ice. Possibly a roughing minor, rarely called.

In reality, a terrific move by Washington. The softness of modern fans doesn't change the reality of the sport.

 

[rocketdan9]

not Marchand

he is a good boy now. It's a miracle

 

[goldenbladz1]

Sebastian Aho, prime example of ratty things? Riight. I'd suggest watching hockey.

I'd say Malkin is the obvious one, constantly gets away with stuff, most notoriously breaking Erik Haula's jaw with a cross check. Somehow refs never notice when Malkin goes on headhunting missions, which happens frequently with him.

Yes Malkin also hit Crawford in the head ending his season.

 

[BritainStix]

Crosby and Malkin are the worst in the league, but the league is terrified of suspending them. Malkin in particular tries to injure a flyer in every game he plays.

Cory Perry was a total POS that got very little heat too.

 

[Halberdier]

Absolutely disgusting.

How is he not suspended for that one? Dirty Seabass.

 

[Halberdier]

No, you're right it doesn't. Plays like these do :

That elbow one did not hit, hence no concussion protocol needed. Draisaitl basically hits to the head with his upper arm, not with his elbow. Don't know if he intended though.

Chris Pronger is one I'd say got away with some the dirty plays.

Pronger was a complete tool. I would laugh when announcers would always say how tough he was. Give me a break he was good and he was big but was cheap and didn't fight a lot. I would take a prime Derian Hatcher over him. For a elite dman who was one of the toughest

Did Tkachuk get his vote in for Jake Muzzin yet?

Did Tkachuk get his vote in for Jake Muzzin yet?

His phone had a unfortunate run in with a gatorade bottle last night before he could vote.

 

[TonyDeAngelo]

Brendan Lemieux.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Malkin has this one won before it begins I feel.

Was just about to say him..

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Mcdavid, especially when his knee hit giordano’s last season. Pretty outrageous to blame it on gio.

Giordano's no angel himself.

 

[PensandCaps]

Letang.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Jacob Trouba. He has given many "accidental" shoulders to the face.

 

[Cleatus]

The poster cited a post game scrum and the Pacioretty hit as Chara's numerous dirty plays over a career several times as long as most NHLers. Not a great argument.

Lol! I guess Mark Messier wasn't a dirty player either, since he played more NHL games than 99% of players in history.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Crosby, Malkin is worse but Kucherov is the dirtiest one that gets away with so much

 

[Nihiliste]

Jamie Benn as well nearly brought the Avs announcers to tears

Benn is pretty dirty but not to the extreme and also it’s also not under the radar the way he plays. Not a great fit for this particular thread

Pavelski idk

 

[Ncit3]

Totally.
DeAngelo suffered severe brain damage...

From the way that DeAngelo thinks and acts in everyday life, I believe he was born with brain damage.
