The exact moment a career came to an end

[Fearnot]

He wasn't dirty, he hit in a way that is was clearly legal in the day. Also, one of Lindros's skills was injuring players with hits.

Idk about Lindros trying to injure when he hit, he was more dangerous when you tried to hit him.Whenever someone tried to check him they were likely to run in to a cross check to the face. Stevens' hits were legal in the days when high, knock a m-f er out hits were ok.

 

[Cellee]

I never thought this hit was that dirty and still don't.

Also, watch the most talented player to ever play do his thing after in that video

 

[Just Linda]

I saw Crawford's career end tonight

 

[sadpanda]

Joni Pitkanen. He was only 29 when this happened, 40pt d-man, he might still be playing in the NHL if not for this incident.

Thought of this aswell. Remember watching it. Sad

I was actually at the preseason game at the Garden where Kyprios suffered a brutal KO that ended his career.

 

[isles55]

DiPietro signing the 15 year deal

No?

Patrick Berglund: the moment it started snowing in Buffalo

 

[Sun God Nika]

still wish Paul nothing but the worst in life.

Aaron Rome, Nathan Horton 2011.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

End of Sauer's promising young career.

And that stupid commentator was raving and laughing about the hit. Hope he was f***ing fired.

Is that a Vlad avatar? I love Vlad!

It was a clean hit.

Cam Janssen ruined Tomas Kaberle's career with a dirty hit. Before, Kaberle was a silky smooth skater with tremendous vision and beautiful passing. Watching him carry the puck out of the zone was a treat to watch. After the hit, he was timid and ineffective.

I was glad he managed to win with Boston, but he wasn't very good for them. His decline was sad to see.

Speaking of Boston and a decline due to a dirty play, it still hurts to think about what happened with Marc Savard. He was a special player.

Brian mcgrattan cheap shotting andrew alberts

 

[cliffclaven]

Tonight. Pretty much sure Crawford is done. Just got back from a major concussion, and got another one. He’ll be on IR and then retire at the end of this season if he’s smart.

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Chris Campoli was basically done after that game 7 goof for Chicago.

 

[Ratsreign]

David Booth's career was derailed after mike richards went all Scott Stevens on him. A very cheap shot, it was.

 

[Former Referee 68]

Markus Naslund was never the same player again after getting hit by Steve Moore.

Keep your head up

 

[thesaadfather]

Nick Ritchie sucker punching Rozsival is the first one that comes to mind for the Hawks in recent years. Unfortunately it’s a real possibility that Crawford’s ended tonight.

 

[McDNicks17]

Theo Peckham was one of my favorite young Oilers, but he was never the same after getting KOed by Nathan Horton.

 

[yukoner88]

George Laraque scoring 2 goals gave a shout out to the victims of the Haiti earthquake, then the habs immediately waived him

 

[SabresSharks]

Yeah, hitting a player after they took two strides after they pass the puck was not legal back in the day.

Why the revisionist attitude? Scott Stevens epitomized the rock-solid, defensive defenceman that teams coveted until the rules of the sport changed.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Stevens of Kariya comes to mind.
