sniper14 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 yea that was prolly one of the top ones but i also think that the umberger one was pretty big and it was cleanjust my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyDude1712 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 the one where Scott Stevens nailed Kariya was pretty sweet. I also like the Umburger one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maka 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 The Umberger one was just brutal to watch. Given, I may be partially influenced 'cause that's the one I've seen the most recently, that was definitely a solid hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 Kapanen and Kariya are hard because it had reverse effects. Wendel Clark thew a hit on a St. Louis Blue in the late 80's that was incredible. Very similar to Bertuzzi on Jackman a few years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TML4LIFE 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 I can't believe we have a playoff hit topic and no one has mentioned Stevens on Lindros yet.. How can anything beat that? Game 7 Eastern Conference finals.. Lindros skating through the blue line with his head down.. BOOOM!! Good night Flyers.. Good night Lindros.. Lindros has never been the same player since..

Lindros has never been the same player since..You beat me to that one.The Umberger hit this year was close to it though. Just seeing him looking around on the ice and you could tell he had no clue where he was.Wendel Clark thew a hit on a St. Louis Blue in the late 80's that was incredible. I forgot about that one. You remember who he hit?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The name escapes me, I was in diapers when the hit actually occured. I think it started with a B, I'll try and look it up.Edit - It was Bruce Bell. The hit basically ruined Bell's career.The elbow on Zednik was from McLaren. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another player had touched the puck and Kariya was no longer in "posession and control" or even "posession" of the puck. but if you watch any play-off game from back then, there is a different rule book used in the play-offs i guess that no one knows of. A rule does no good if no one calls it, and back then a late hit in the play-offs was very rarely called. The only reason people made a fuss about it was because of him laying on the ice. If he had got up right away, then it wouldn't have even been an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like tough, hard hitting hockey but it's hard to throw a big hit and have it be legal too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 MA Bergeron putting Morrow (Edm-Dal 2004? I think) over his back was not one of the hardest hits, but probably the best textbook hipcheck I've EVER seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
