Yay! Let's deliberately hurt another human being! SO COOL!
Pffff... It's hockey, not figure skating.
You must be raised with the NHL after the dead puck era.
I'm 29, I've seen Scott Stevens destroy everyone. Hitting a player at full speed like in this video is spectacular but also very freaking dangerous. And for what? Nice, he made he drop the puck, woo freaking hoo.
Because it's hockey doesn't make it right to expose people to such danger. Hockey is a sport of contact but it should never be at the expense of the health of players.
Alright, the media has been killing you then...
You can't say that you didn't love a freight train hit or a line brawl during those days.
Don't get me wrong, those are spectacular things that are fun to watch. But it doesn't mean it has its place in a hockey game. I'll always advocate for human being's health over entertaining.
I'm all for banning fights and these hits in hockey.
And I'm perfectly capable of making my own opinion on the matter with or without the help of the media. Because we have different opinion doesn't mean I can't think.
who cares it looked awesome
A blatant headshot looks awesome to you? There was only one thing on his mind, to put the other guy in a wheelchair
Im with you...I dont like seeing hits like that just like I dont like seeing guys getting railroaded along the boards....Im all for hitting and fighting but hitting should not be done in a way to hurt a player...the sad part of that video is his teammates did NOTHING about it.I'm 29, I've seen Scott Stevens destroy everyone. Hitting a player at full speed like in this video is spectacular but also very freaking dangerous. And for what? Nice, he made he drop the puck, woo freaking hoo.

Great defense. Ignore the puck to take both of you of the play and give the other team a clear scoring chance.
Maybe if he kept his center of gravity lower he wouldn't have ****ed himself up. Big hit, but he went into him like a putz.
