Hey guys I'll make a part 2 soon, so let me know what to include! Also which hit do you think was the dirtiest? (I didn’t include the Todd Bertuzzi sucker punch because this video was only of dirty body checks)
I can't remember the year this game took place, but it was between the Anaheim Mighty Ducks and the Dallas Stars and one of the Stars players made a nasty hit on Teemu Selanne that knocked him out of the game. Then, all hell broke loose during that game.
Dirtiest? Hard to say with all the head shots - it's close between Torres on Hossa and Cooke on Savard. In terms of ones you should include in part 2: Trevor Gillies's head shot and punches on Eric Tangradi, Trevor Gillies' jumping Cal Clutterbuck, Gary Suter's cross check to the face of Paul Kariya (I remember that in Nagano, he got booed every time he touched the puck for that because the Japanese fans wanted to see Paul Kariya play), Ulf Samuelsson's knee on Cam Neely, Brad Marchand low-bridging Sami Salo, Vaclav Varada's boarding of Krys Kolanos, Todd Bertuzzi on Steve Moore... those are all the ones I can think of right now. Well, and umpteen more knee-on-knee hits by Marchment and Cooke.
McDavids elbow on Kotkaniemi. Maybe not the hardest hit, thankfully no serious injuries there, but it was extremely dirty. Edited the name of Kotkaniemi, wrote Heiskanen initially.
Matt Cooke is a such a disgrace to the game. Despite the fact Keith's hit on him was dirty, I don't think anyone felt bad for him. You reap what you sow.
I don't watch NHL, I just got this video on my recommended. It's hilarious to me that the top 20 comments are all talking shit about Matt Cooke. I have no idea who this man is, but I know I am supposed to hate him.
@@wolfumz Hello! Now we can all feel better not having to watch Matt Cooke play ever again. Complete lack of respect for the sport and of other players.
The fact that Cooke was allowed to play in the NHL for such a long time is honestly just depressing, especially seeing him with a letter on his jersey as if that guy was some kind of role model to look up to.
@@Hughjanus720 you must watch hockey strictly for the violence... When there's no skill, when you are a violent player because you have no skills, that shit shouldn't be allowed in game. It's selfish, make a career out of ending others careers. Pitiful. I like hockey for everything else, aside from the unnecessary, illegal violence. It literally is assault. Violence that is within the guidelines is cool with me, but some players really need a reality check, they think they can get away with anything.
So the paramedics are transporting a guy with a possible neck or head injury, he's strapped to the gurney, with his head strapped, and they flip the gurney? With paramedics like that, who needs enemies
Love the comradery at 8:55, the way his two teammates turned immediately at exactly the same time, thinking exactly the same thing "Ima fuck this guy up!"
Modano getting dropped at 6:58 has some attitude era WWF vibes going on, even the announcer "can't believe we just saw that" of course Modano got quite the payday in that lawsuit lol
Thank you for putting this together! I think it clearly shows you have three types of players: 1. Players who make bad choices, or just make an unfortunate hit at an inopportune time. 2. Decent players who make repeated bad choices, like Marchand, Tom Wilson & Kadri, but all of these guys have showed that a player can mature and start making better decisions. I especially despise Wilson for some of his worst hits, but in discussions, I have always said he does not need to play like that, he really has talent, and he showed some of that in the Caps recent playoff run. I suppose you could say the same for Marchand and Kadri as far as talent. 3. Predatory hitters: Scott Stevens, Matt Cooke, Ty Domi, Claude Lemeiux, Brian? Marchment, and I am sure I missed and forgot some. I honestly do not care that the NHL had no rules to specifically protect players; Scott Stevens and Matt Cooke clearly displayed serial predatory behavior, and seemingly enjoyed injuring opponents. Full disclosure: I am a Bruins fan, and I do like Marchand; however, I never liked when Brad made stupid choices, especially when it could/did injure someone. Those are just dumb, selfish actions that almost always hurt one's own team.
I don’t think they did it because they enjoyed injuring people I think they did it better the chances they had at winning the games and they did it to be… powerful and to bully other players so that they seem menacing or something because if you look back at the Steven Kariya (mind my misspelling plz) vid you will see he is enraged that he came back out I don’t think he did it to be mean I think he did it to get him off the ice
I like Marchand as a player but not when he does hes stupid hit. This is sound like hi dont like Mickael Jackson as a child molester but i like hes music. For me the way i realy work my life you are a fucking dangerous human your self because you have two faces just like 90% of the world you live in.. wy do you think the is full of dramatic situation.
I wouldn't put Stevens in the same category as Cooke, all of Stevens' hits were legal and helped the Devils win the Stanley Cup. Obviously, he'd be suspended for them now but that's what makes hockey different, the way it evolves.
Wouldn't be the first time a known dirty player had a letter. Crap, Dale Hunter was Washington's *captain* for five seasons! And he was a very dirty player.
haha more haters. Dude, grow up. I saw at least 3 different hits that were FAR MORE dangerous and I do not see you running your mouth about that? Fucking haters
Curious how many of these players had to retire after these hits? Some of them look so damn brutal that they had to have long term issues. I think 15:30 is the hit that ended Cam Neely's career.
Savard had to retire after Matt cooke hit, Horton had to retire after Rome hit, Neely had to retire after Samuelson hit. Raffi Torres and Matt Cooke are the two most disgusting players I've ever seen
@@cindysantoro-ml7vl Neely played during 5 more seasons after the hit, although in just 162 games. While the hit certainly played a part through developing myositis ossificans, it did not immediately cause the retirement.
Don't know if he retired because of the hit, but Paul Kariya was never the same after getting hit by Stevens. Watching that hit there is absolutely no way that wasn't a TBI. That shit was brutal. Pretty sure Stevens hitting Lindros put another nail in his coffin as well.
I thought the same thing... Dude could be dying for all anybody knows, but instead of making sure he gets quick medical attention, we fight literally on top of his unconscious body....
I mistakenly hit someone from behind once when I was pretty young, Buddy turned at the last second and I didn’t have the reaction time to correct myself, I was shook. Seeing hits like these give me the chills because it’s really no joke.
I often find myself apologizing for the Canucks having drafted him. He might be the dirtiest regular player in the NHL over the last 20 years. (Trevor Gillies was worse, but he only played 57 NHL games.) Tom Wilson is starting to get up there with all his head shots, though.
Pierre Turgeon was never the same player after that hit (shoulder never fully healed). The hit also cost the Islanders as they lost their best player, next playoff round, and super star player for multiple years. He had 58 goads and 74 assists that year (career highs by far), continues play for 13 more years, averaging 22.8 goals per year. Prior to the hit he averages 36 goals per season (6).
@@mikejackson6570 And was a well-known scumbag on top of it all. The play was completely over, can't claim heat-of-the-moment, or "things happened too fast..."
to be fair, that's not why his numbers went down so much, as the leagues scoring was an all time high in 93 and it went down every year after that, the 98-04 seasons had the lowest scoring ever. Guys with UNDER 80 POINTS were top 10 in 2004. Thats why guys like Sundin Iginla Alfredsson and Datsyuk don't have more career points, and especially Jagr. Jagr had 3 seasons in the KHL after the rangers, plus the 04 05 season, you take those into account and the era he played in? His adjusted points compared to say, Gretzky's prime era, would be likely about 2500 career points. Far from Wayne but, much more than everyone else.
Matt Cooke is a criminal. Was happy to see Duncan Keith put a dirty hit on Cooke, although Keith too had a couple features here as well. Awesome video.
No he wouldn't. He was good for the time but today? He would be mediocre. You're like one of those people that think Gretzky would be any good today too.
I've watched and played hockey for years. I love the sport. With that said...there is absolutely no place in the game for a dirty hit. The rule should be changed. If a player misses games due to a dirty hit...the b***h that caused the injury shall miss the same amount of time. Keep the game fast, competitive, physical and clean.
I'm 27 and just recently got into hockey. As a someone who loves physical sports, I would of loved to play hockey growing up. I wouldn't love getting hit anything similar to people in these videos
@@erikl827 yes hockey is the best sport!! Unfortunately though if you played as a kid you would deal with MANY dirty players. That's how i broke my collar bone when i was 15, the hit was so late that the ref didn't even see (puck was down in other teams end and i was still in my own defensive zone, i had passed the puck up ice). Incidents/injuries like this made local leagues here in Canada raise the age for hitting. Because of stupid people. Some young teens just play to hit, instead of playing good hockey and taking opportunities when they come, and knowing when to back off. It really always comes down to the player though in my opinion, raising the age made no difference. In fact i think it might have made it worse since teenagers were mad they had to wait longer to hit, and then they would hit even more dirty. But yea hockey is awesome and i still played after the break but i absolutely cannot stand dirty players! No player making an NHL salary should ever make dirty hits like the ones in this video, they should be banned and have their contracts terminated
@@dsskills-k3p My son's been playing 5 years now and the single biggest problem is refs who won't call the dirty hits and leagues that won't enforce any real discipline. When kids figure out they can elbow kids in the head right in front of the ref and not even get a penalty, they learn to be dirty.
@@donaldstevens932 Funny that I don't think all of Matt Cookes and Tom Wilson suspension add up to Steve Downie 25+ games he got for his first NHL offense. Every team needed a scumbag in that ear it was cheapshot headshot city especially during the playoffs. So much of this reel was in the 2004 - 2014 decade just after the lockout.
As a rugby fan and former player, we put so much emphasis on head contact in our sport nowadays, some of these hits make us look like school kids in a slapping contest.
It's why I really respect rugby, they always tout not being football(soccer) and they're very physical but they also respect the game. Hockey nowdays is much better, especially in the EU, but most people don't understand how much damage that much of mass (the player) tackling a head can do. It's like two cars crashing at 30kmh, might seem slow but it basically becomes a 60kmh crash into a wall.
@@jacobking962 Rome and Cooke don't do it anymore either. What's your point?Not defending either one of them, especially Cooke, but 63 will always carry that reputation around.
@@jacobking962 You keep saying that, but it only makes it worse. Why does he need to do things that could end players careers when he's a Hall of Famer? As a Bruins fan, you will probably look past the cheap stuff, but to everyone else, he's just as dirty as Cooke and Rome and whoever else.
Seriously!! It's great to gang up and beat the sh*t out of someone who KO'd your teammate. But it's not okay to reassault your unconscious teammate and skate on his face!! 🤦♀️
So sad to see so many guys careers cut short by obvious penalties. I know it was a different time but holy fuck the blatant disregard for the after effects of head trauma is depressing to come to terms with so many years later.
@@genericusername9551 arguably the most entertaining era in hockey history actually, 2000s was also up there. Gen z's don't like violence and physicality, so i understand why you don't like it.
@@MrTedMcForehead Strong Disagree. if you wanna watch guys get CTE and have their brains bleed out their noses, go watch boxing. I'd rather watch an actual sport.
@@SynapseNervosa So many neanderthals who enjoy watching serious life-shortening injuries and no regard for actually playing the REAL game in the comments, and people wonder why the sport isnt as popular. because hockey fans gatekeep and talk about "glory days" as if there is no way to make the sport grow without violence being a first priority.
One aspect I've always lived by in ice hockey is that some people deserve everything they get as far as retaliation. When asked in later years if I'd want to be a ref, my answer was/is: "No. I'm never objective."
3:00 Downie is currently sitting in Jamaica undergoing Magic Mushroom treatment for the years of Concussion, Anger, and drug abuse he went through as an enforcer. After seeing what he did in the NHL, it’s cathartic watching him break down in tears.
@@juhos30000 it's natural for people to dip their head right before impact, you see it in football all the time so yeah, it happens quick. Hit somebody in the head doesn't make it dirty, it's the intention behind the hit.
The difficult part is that so many people extend their legs through the hit which means if the timing is off then you're taking the guy's head off even if you didn't intend to.
How Dale Hunter was allowed back in the league is beyond me. That hit after Turton scored was one of the worst ever because the play is dead after a goal and he went head hunting. When the Caps hired him as a coach I wanted blood.
This was the hit i remember when i think of 'dirtiest of all time'. Absolute bush league garbage. His excuse after was that he was 'finishing the check' and 'didnt realize he scored'. Complete garbage. Turgeon separated his shoulder if I remember too and was out of the playoffs.
The worst for me is the Chara one where he decapitated the guy on the box glass. Second is the cross-check to the neck straight in to the edge of the box. Both looks like intent to kill
I disagree. The Chara hit on Pacioretti was perfectly OK. If it wasn't for the idiotically placed stanchion of the glass it would have been a routine play.
@@markmayer5788Rome’s hit on Horton. Like a driving a car with a blindfold. Clean hit, wasn’t a headshot or late. You know like the stanchion unfortunate. How many games suspension did Chara get? Unfortunate? OK goes both ways
They pretend to "stand up" for their teammates. But they clearly dont give a shit about someone maybe dying there on the ice. They just see a chance to fight and are excited to throw a few punches. They should all be banned 10+ games for obstructing first aid on a critical injury.
@@corygarfield86 it was a bit late, but it wasn't dirty on the same level as these other cheap shots. For the editor to put it into the same category is an insult and shows pure ignorance about hockey and the situation. There is a world of difference between hitting someone slightly late versus deliberately trying to injure like most of these other clips.
I was at the Bruins Pens game when Matt Cooke made that hit. As a Pens fan, the rest of the game was really uncomfortable in the stands, to say the least
I don’t know hardly anything about hockey, but I remember seeing a dude crack a guy in the back of the head with his stick one time. That’s gotta be the dirtiest shit I’ve ever seen. Enjoyed the video!
That's for sure one of the dirtiest plays ever, the guy who did it never played in the NHL ever again. I didn't include it in this one though because it was only body checks!
My one question about all these dirty hits is this...I only played the Sunday night pick up games after coaching my sons youth games. That being said, how can you actually defend your teammate when they leveled such a sicking hit as shown in these videos. I'm all for a nice body check here and there but if I had a teammate like a COOKE I'd be jumping the pile to pound on him also!
So I played competitive hockey and I'll defend my teammates most of the time but sometimes you don't. I heard one story where a star player was a cunt every game and finally the enforcer decided to just let him get his deserved ass whooping.
You know that's a good question but honestly I think it all comes down to obligation. It's like this for any sport really not just hockey. I've seen it in football, Baseball, and Basketball as well. Whenever a player delivers a dirty hit I'm pretty sure the reason the teammates defend them is because they feel obligated to since their on the same team.
Can't get over Modano, knocked into next week by Messier at 6:58, then then dropped like a sack of potatoes by the bumbling medical team. Are you kidding me?! The guy’s just been blasted into next week, and these clowns go and drop him like he’s a piece of luggage. Those bozos clearly got their certifications out of a cereal box.
Pierre Turgon was a beauty, and an NHL92 great. That hit by Hunter came after a playoff series winning goal, and Hunter was upset they lost. Turgeon was injured well into the following season if my memory is correct. Blind side a guy after the game is over because he scored, so dirty.
Pierre Turgeon was never the same player after that hit (shoulder never fully healed). The hit also cost the Islanders as they lost their best player, next playoff round, and super star player for multiple years. He had 58 goads and 74 assists that year (career highs by far), continues play for 13 more years, averaging 22.8 goals per year. Prior to the hit he averages 36 goals per season (6).
Turgeon should have been in the Hall of Fame a long time ago. I mean, Kevin Lowe, really? He was never better than the fourth-best defenseman on his own team. And I'm an Oilers fan.
@@thehistory5401 And Downie was coming full speed, used the net/goalie as a screen and left his feet and went right at his head. Puck or not, that's intent to injure.
0:03 I got hit almost exactly like this. I was playing in a practice scrimmage for my youth hockey team, and one of my teammates I’d had disagreements with was on the other team. I took it into the offensive zone, and dumped it in. A second later, the kid came up behind me and slammed his shoulder into the side of my head. I received a minor concussion from my own teammate. It wasn’t the only time either. I would be waiting for my turn in a drill, and he would skate up to me and slam me into the boards. He was the coach’s son, so I couldn’t do much about it, and the coaches completely ignored him. In fact, one of them even encouraged it, said it “made the team stronger”.
I admit to losing my cool In practice and tried throwing a big hit on a team mate because he was taking other players heads off but he cowardly ducked the hit and i concussed myself
Marchand: *Pulls out a baseball bat and hits another player multiple time* NESN comenators: Well marchand there was just showing all his sporting skills and got tangled up with another player. I just don't think expected anyone to skate near him while he was swinging that bat
Jack Edwards is a disgrace to hockey commentating. Marchand: Pulls gun out and shoots someone Jack Edwards: Well you know I think Marchand was doing a little target practice and the other guy just seemed to jump in front of the gun!
Interestingly the Sucker Punch that would end Moore's career, and all but end Todd Bertuzzi's career too, was directly in response to this hit 3:04. Not excusing it obviously, but yeah...
I remember a playoffs game in the late 90's where Claude Lemieux hit Kris Draper from behind, face first into the boards so hard Draper's face burst open. Even as a hard core Aves fan that made me sick to see. Also, poor Modano. lol. Mans can't even get to the ambulance before being dropped again.
I remember when that happened to Barrie. All of CO had Cooke's head on reward and were hunting for him. Never have we wanted to see another team lose a round so bad.
The Stevens hits are brutal. The guy was a truck. Kariya got the last laugh in that game. He was resurrected and scored. Lindros was a walking concussion. He never learned to skate with his head up. In the 90's that was a death sentence.
Stevens was one of the dirtiest pos to ever play hockey, but he was good at hiding. Total head hunting, career ending a-hole. Lindros was prone to concussions as it was (so was his brother) but you're right, he was so big and fast and strong as a junior he got away with sloppy habits and the sketchy dirty 90s NHL (see Scott Stevens) was no place for that sort of mistake.
Devils got the last laugh as Kariya was nowhere to be found in game 7 and I am sure he felt that hit for weeks after. At the time if your elbows were down, it was legal. There was no penalty on either of the Stevens plays, both were deemed legal hits.
@@smgdfcmfah When you say that, what I hear is "You've only seen a couple clips of him." Like OP said, he was a truck. Keep your head up. He always kept his arm close to his body, he never threw his elbow out, and if you weren't paying attention, he would crush you. Other players at the time would all say you had to be careful, because if you weren't paying attention, he would level you, and the key here is, they all said it was clean hits. Kariya is the only one that Stevens leveled that said it was a dirty hit. And quite a few players from the league disagree with him.
That first hit was the same hit that ended my hockey career. I got hit from behind after a full extension for a slap shot, twisted me even more and tore muscles and ligaments in my spine.
Do you remember when Matt Cook purposely caused an injury to Erik Karlson Achille's tendon? Cook was an insane and sadistic player showing no respect to any other players.
@@kenneththorberg6914 Who is to be blamed here? Tom Wilson or the zebra man with a tunnel vision? Tom Wilson for sure for his lack of thinking before acting. But, the officials lacked decision-making skills. I think many hockey fans would do a better job than many guys wearing striped shirts.
You know, I saw the hit Claude Lemieux delivered to Draper on TV and I just realized that Darren McCarthy was right in front of the hit, sitting on the bench.....no wonder why he beat the ever living hell out of him in Detroit the following year!
I'm not even really a hockey fan but I remember this and I remember how disgraceful it was. Every part of it was intentional and criminal. Max was lucky to live through it. The focus seemed to go to the poor arena design rather than the blatant outrageous assault.
Can tell the difference between who’s trying to finish their check and make a nice big clean hit and who’s actively making a conscious decision to hurt someone…those are the ones that make my stomach turn
wish the vid showed the suspensions/fines for each of these. and that Domi elbow at 4:40 was such a disgrace. i lost so much respect for him after that.
4:56 I actually got hit similar to that. Instead, I was trying to get the puck out of the zone. I tried speeding around the defender, which I did. Then he boarded me right into the boards, face first, then stomach, then feet. I rested myself for 2 weeks before playing sports again.
Anyone old enough to remember when Gary Suter took Paul Kariya out with a vicious cross check. Kariya couldn't play for Canada at the Olympics because of the injury. (The Olympics where in Japan that year...1998. Kariya is of Japanese decent) I remember when it happened like it was yesterday, and it still bothers me today. Kariya one of the greatest of all time.
I know it was a dirty hit but nothing makes me smile more then when he gets nailed by Keith in this vid. That guy deserves every bad thing that happens to him plus more...
Aaron Rome single handedly changed the trajectory of that cup series with that dirty hit on Horton. Boston was reinvigorated after that and never took their foot off the gas.
I grew up next to a former NHL player as a kid I always thought hockey players were "dumb brutes" since him and all his former player friends seemed a bit slow... as a teenager I realized what was going on and it's sad
@@HotForgeChaos it is sad. that the players have all the power they need to amend the rules so that they do not die. and they do little to nothing to help themselves. so. they only have themselves, and their brothers in hockey, to blame for the life-ending injuries they suffer. morons.
I love how the Bruins announcers clearly miss the elbow from Marchand on Johansson (12:45). "You always have to be concerned that a player might catch the blade of somebody's skate as they come through..." Yeah...might want to be concerned more about an elbow to the head! LOL Bruins announcers,...biggest homers in the league. Brad Marchand, player I would love to have on my team...but hate to play against :p
In his defense, when he said it they hadn't seen the replay in the booth and it did look like Brad's skate came up. Jack is certainly a homer, but Brick is very good and if he has an opinion about something he will say that it might be biased.
@@Governor_William_J_Lepetomane Jack Edwards is the kind of goof that would see it and defend it. Boston takes a ton of hate mainly because of that loud mouth squid.
to be fair, looking at it slowed down marchands stick got caught up with the goalie and both his hands moved as a result the elbow was just a byproduct of that, unlucky.
Looked to me like his stick got stuck, while tripping, and his momentum flung his arm/elbow out. The other Marchand clip in there is 100% on purpose, but I'm willing to give him benefit of the doubt on the elbow.
0:48 The moment the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup. The Bruins' response for the rest of that series was one of a pissed off team. From that point on, they went 4-1 and outscored the Canucks 21-4
Raffi Torres: King Of The Cheap Shots. I watched that hit on Hossa live and I knew from the point of impact, Torres had a 1st class ticket on the suspension train.
7:00 talk about a bad day at work! 😅 I remember a clip from an old VHS of classic sport fights where some ice hockey player with a mullet had his stick taken off him by a man in the crowd, so he went into the crowd to fight the guy 😅. No idea of the teams but I think it was a US match.
Hey guys I'll make a part 2 soon, so let me know what to include! Also which hit do you think was the dirtiest? (I didn’t include the Todd Bertuzzi sucker punch because this video was only of dirty body checks)

Thank you for putting this together! I think it clearly shows you have three types of players:
1. Players who make bad choices, or just make an unfortunate hit at an inopportune time.
2. Decent players who make repeated bad choices, like Marchand, Tom Wilson & Kadri, but all of these guys have showed that a player can mature and start making better decisions. I especially despise Wilson for some of his worst hits, but in discussions, I have always said he does not need to play like that, he really has talent, and he showed some of that in the Caps recent playoff run. I suppose you could say the same for Marchand and Kadri as far as talent.
3. Predatory hitters: Scott Stevens, Matt Cooke, Ty Domi, Claude Lemeiux, Brian? Marchment, and I am sure I missed and forgot some. I honestly do not care that the NHL had no rules to specifically protect players; Scott Stevens and Matt Cooke clearly displayed serial predatory behavior, and seemingly enjoyed injuring opponents.
Full disclosure: I am a Bruins fan, and I do like Marchand; however, I never liked when Brad made stupid choices, especially when it could/did injure someone. Those are just dumb, selfish actions that almost always hurt one's own team.
He's a scumbag and has far too many dirty hits in his career.
This man typed this and no credit. My essays in ELA have less detail than this
I don’t think they did it because they enjoyed injuring people I think they did it better the chances they had at winning the games and they did it to be… powerful and to bully other players so that they seem menacing or something because if you look back at the Steven Kariya (mind my misspelling plz) vid you will see he is enraged that he came back out I don’t think he did it to be mean I think he did it to get him off the ice
I like Marchand as a player but not when he does hes stupid hit. This is sound like hi dont like Mickael Jackson as a child molester but i like hes music. For me the way i realy work my life you are a fucking dangerous human your self because you have two faces just like 90% of the world you live in.. wy do you think the is full of dramatic situation.
I wouldn't put Stevens in the same category as Cooke, all of Stevens' hits were legal and helped the Devils win the Stanley Cup. Obviously, he'd be suspended for them now but that's what makes hockey different, the way it evolves.
The fact that Cooke wore an A in Pittsburgh is such a joke.
And don't think that a lot of us Pens fans weren't disgusted both by that, and all the BS that Cooke did on the ice.
Wouldn't be the first time a known dirty player had a letter. Crap, Dale Hunter was Washington's *captain* for five seasons! And he was a very dirty player.
Us pens fans dont claim him. All time league disgrace.
A is for Asshole, I don’t see the issue.
Same with Raffi Torres getting an A in SJ
Will forever respect Keith for dropping Cooke like that , one of the only ones who deserve that kind of hit
If only someone had been able to give him a kick to the face while he was down…
If only someone did the same to Keith for all of his cheap shots.
haha more haters. Dude, grow up. I saw at least 3 different hits that were FAR MORE dangerous and I do not see you running your mouth about that? Fucking haters
Keith blindsiding Cooke is like Stalin stabbing Hiter. Both are dirty players, but one was good at playing actual hockey and the other wasn't.
@@NachoDinowhich one was actually good?
Dale Hunter was one of the dirtiest players ever. Hits on Turgeon and Murphy were among the most cowardly in the NHL history.
Dale Hunter was a criminal and should have been prosecuted for assault.
Haha coward, Dale Hunter? I bet you arent man enough to fight him.
Dale Hunter one of the worst POS in hockey
Curious how many of these players had to retire after these hits? Some of them look so damn brutal that they had to have long term issues. I think 15:30 is the hit that ended Cam Neely's career.
Savard had to retire after Matt cooke hit, Horton had to retire after Rome hit, Neely had to retire after Samuelson hit. Raffi Torres and Matt Cooke are the two most disgusting players I've ever seen
@@cindysantoro-ml7vl Neely played during 5 more seasons after the hit, although in just 162 games. While the hit certainly played a part through developing myositis ossificans, it did not immediately cause the retirement.
Don't know if he retired because of the hit, but Paul Kariya was never the same after getting hit by Stevens. Watching that hit there is absolutely no way that wasn't a TBI. That shit was brutal. Pretty sure Stevens hitting Lindros put another nail in his coffin as well.
Evolution of the NHL. Survival of the fittest. Tough guys eventually went the way of the dinosaurs.

And your's was an accident made by a kid. These are straight up attempted homicide
As a penguins fan, I’d like to apologise for Matt Cooke. Even for his dirty hits against the bruins.
I don't even acknowledge him ever being a Penguin anymore.
As one as well I ditto that
I often find myself apologizing for the Canucks having drafted him. He might be the dirtiest regular player in the NHL over the last 20 years. (Trevor Gillies was worse, but he only played 57 NHL games.) Tom Wilson is starting to get up there with all his head shots, though.
As a Caps fan I'd like to apologize for Tom Wilson. The guy seems to go out of his way at times to be dirty.
Want to apologize for your announcers too
Pierre Turgeon was never the same player after that hit (shoulder never fully healed). The hit also cost the Islanders as they lost their best player, next playoff round, and super star player for multiple years. He had 58 goads and 74 assists that year (career highs by far), continues play for 13 more years, averaging 22.8 goals per year. Prior to the hit he averages 36 goals per season (6).
Dale Hunter was one of the dirtiest scumbags on the ice.
Hunter should have been suspended for life. That was definitely intent to injure.
@@mikejackson6570 And was a well-known scumbag on top of it all. The play was completely over, can't claim heat-of-the-moment, or "things happened too fast..."
Hunter did the same thing to Bruins Gary Galley...Galley scored a goal and after the goal, Hunter drilled him with a cheap shot.
to be fair, that's not why his numbers went down so much, as the leagues scoring was an all time high in 93 and it went down every year after that, the 98-04 seasons had the lowest scoring ever. Guys with UNDER 80 POINTS were top 10 in 2004. Thats why guys like Sundin Iginla Alfredsson and Datsyuk don't have more career points, and especially Jagr. Jagr had 3 seasons in the KHL after the rangers, plus the 04 05 season, you take those into account and the era he played in? His adjusted points compared to say, Gretzky's prime era, would be likely about 2500 career points. Far from Wayne but, much more than everyone else.
The paramedics knocking the stretcher over while transferring mike modabo gave me a chuckle lol
geez, that was like a scene from hot shots

I've watched and played hockey for years. I love the sport. With that said...there is absolutely no place in the game for a dirty hit. The rule should be changed. If a player misses games due to a dirty hit...the b***h that caused the injury shall miss the same amount of time. Keep the game fast, competitive, physical and clean.
I'm 27 and just recently got into hockey. As a someone who loves physical sports, I would of loved to play hockey growing up. I wouldn't love getting hit anything similar to people in these videos
@@erikl827 yes hockey is the best sport!! Unfortunately though if you played as a kid you would deal with MANY dirty players. That's how i broke my collar bone when i was 15, the hit was so late that the ref didn't even see (puck was down in other teams end and i was still in my own defensive zone, i had passed the puck up ice). Incidents/injuries like this made local leagues here in Canada raise the age for hitting. Because of stupid people. Some young teens just play to hit, instead of playing good hockey and taking opportunities when they come, and knowing when to back off. It really always comes down to the player though in my opinion, raising the age made no difference. In fact i think it might have made it worse since teenagers were mad they had to wait longer to hit, and then they would hit even more dirty. But yea hockey is awesome and i still played after the break but i absolutely cannot stand dirty players! No player making an NHL salary should ever make dirty hits like the ones in this video, they should be banned and have their contracts terminated
@@dsskills-k3p My son's been playing 5 years now and the single biggest problem is refs who won't call the dirty hits and leagues that won't enforce any real discipline. When kids figure out they can elbow kids in the head right in front of the ref and not even get a penalty, they learn to be dirty.

As a rugby fan and former player, we put so much emphasis on head contact in our sport nowadays, some of these hits make us look like school kids in a slapping contest.
It's why I really respect rugby, they always tout not being football(soccer) and they're very physical but they also respect the game. Hockey nowdays is much better, especially in the EU, but most people don't understand how much damage that much of mass (the player) tackling a head can do. It's like two cars crashing at 30kmh, might seem slow but it basically becomes a 60kmh crash into a wall.
Lmao thats just stupid these guys are getting fuckin smoked.
Yes and rightly so. Some people still don't realise how bad head injuries are.

There's a difference between a hard hit when you catch someone lacking, and a dirty hit. Happens quick
Big difference between huge hit to head and huge hit to shoulder to shoulder. The other can destroy your life
@@juhos30000 people also lower there head trying to get around others
@@juhos30000 it's natural for people to dip their head right before impact, you see it in football all the time so yeah, it happens quick. Hit somebody in the head doesn't make it dirty, it's the intention behind the hit.
The difficult part is that so many people extend their legs through the hit which means if the timing is off then you're taking the guy's head off even if you didn't intend to.
If you aim at their head on purpose, it's a dirty hit. Period.
How Dale Hunter was allowed back in the league is beyond me. That hit after Turton scored was one of the worst ever because the play is dead after a goal and he went head hunting. When the Caps hired him as a coach I wanted blood.
Turgeon
This was the hit i remember when i think of 'dirtiest of all time'. Absolute bush league garbage. His excuse after was that he was 'finishing the check' and 'didnt realize he scored'. Complete garbage. Turgeon separated his shoulder if I remember too and was out of the playoffs.
Yeah, this hit wins my vote for cheapest on the video. No place in any sport for that nonsense.
When Keith hit Matt Cooke at 7:15 there’s no one more deserving of a cheap shot😂

The worst for me is the Chara one where he decapitated the guy on the box glass. Second is the cross-check to the neck straight in to the edge of the box.
Both looks like intent to kill
I disagree. The Chara hit on Pacioretti was perfectly OK. If it wasn't for the idiotically placed stanchion of the glass it would have been a routine play.

I'm actually amazed it was Messier who hit him too
My one question about all these dirty hits is this...I only played the Sunday night pick up games after coaching my sons youth games. That being said, how can you actually defend your teammate when they leveled such a sicking hit as shown in these videos. I'm all for a nice body check here and there but if I had a teammate like a COOKE I'd be jumping the pile to pound on him also!
So I played competitive hockey and I'll defend my teammates most of the time but sometimes you don't. I heard one story where a star player was a cunt every game and finally the enforcer decided to just let him get his deserved ass whooping.
You know that's a good question but honestly I think it all comes down to obligation. It's like this for any sport really not just hockey. I've seen it in football, Baseball, and Basketball as well. Whenever a player delivers a dirty hit I'm pretty sure the reason the teammates defend them is because they feel obligated to since their on the same team.
Can't get over Modano, knocked into next week by Messier at 6:58, then then dropped like a sack of potatoes by the bumbling medical team. Are you kidding me?! The guy’s just been blasted into next week, and these clowns go and drop him like he’s a piece of luggage. Those bozos clearly got their certifications out of a cereal box.
Thank you for adding the part where the EMTs dropped Modano. That’s was so wrong but so funny.
Pierre Turgon was a beauty, and an NHL92 great. That hit by Hunter came after a playoff series winning goal, and Hunter was upset they lost. Turgeon was injured well into the following season if my memory is correct. Blind side a guy after the game is over because he scored, so dirty.

@@thehistory5401 And Downie was coming full speed, used the net/goalie as a screen and left his feet and went right at his head. Puck or not, that's intent to injure.
0:03 I got hit almost exactly like this. I was playing in a practice scrimmage for my youth hockey team, and one of my teammates I’d had disagreements with was on the other team. I took it into the offensive zone, and dumped it in. A second later, the kid came up behind me and slammed his shoulder into the side of my head. I received a minor concussion from my own teammate. It wasn’t the only time either. I would be waiting for my turn in a drill, and he would skate up to me and slam me into the boards. He was the coach’s son, so I couldn’t do much about it, and the coaches completely ignored him. In fact, one of them even encouraged it, said it “made the team stronger”.
@Phuckofftopuss I hope it was worth it. The boss’s son/coach’s son problem is real

I remember a year later watching the avalanche vs wings deathmatch.
I remember when that happened to Barrie. All of CO had Cooke's head on reward and were hunting for him. Never have we wanted to see another team lose a round so bad.
The head hunters
The Stevens hits are brutal. The guy was a truck. Kariya got the last laugh in that game. He was resurrected and scored. Lindros was a walking concussion. He never learned to skate with his head up. In the 90's that was a death sentence.
Dirtiest player ever, dont forget Kozlov!
Agreed .
Stevens was one of the dirtiest pos to ever play hockey, but he was good at hiding. Total head hunting, career ending a-hole. Lindros was prone to concussions as it was (so was his brother) but you're right, he was so big and fast and strong as a junior he got away with sloppy habits and the sketchy dirty 90s NHL (see Scott Stevens) was no place for that sort of mistake.
Devils got the last laugh as Kariya was nowhere to be found in game 7 and I am sure he felt that hit for weeks after. At the time if your elbows were down, it was legal. There was no penalty on either of the Stevens plays, both were deemed legal hits.
@@smgdfcmfah When you say that, what I hear is "You've only seen a couple clips of him." Like OP said, he was a truck. Keep your head up. He always kept his arm close to his body, he never threw his elbow out, and if you weren't paying attention, he would crush you. Other players at the time would all say you had to be careful, because if you weren't paying attention, he would level you, and the key here is, they all said it was clean hits. Kariya is the only one that Stevens leveled that said it was a dirty hit. And quite a few players from the league disagree with him.
That first hit was the same hit that ended my hockey career. I got hit from behind after a full extension for a slap shot, twisted me even more and tore muscles and ligaments in my spine.
Ouch dude! Hope you're having a speedy recovery🙏
That really sucks. I hope you heal up quickly.
if torres was suspended 41 games, cooke should've been expelled from the league
Do you remember when Matt Cook purposely caused an injury to Erik Karlson Achille's tendon? Cook was an insane and sadistic player showing no respect to any other players.
Torres received such a disqualification for a collection of old sins. Any other player wouldn't have been given 6 games for that.
@@mariobouchard5950 And the psychopath didn´t even get a minor for that assault.
@@kenneththorberg6914 Who is to be blamed here? Tom Wilson or the zebra man with a tunnel vision? Tom Wilson for sure for his lack of thinking before acting. But, the officials lacked decision-making skills. I think many hockey fans would do a better job than many guys wearing striped shirts.
You know, I saw the hit Claude Lemieux delivered to Draper on TV and I just realized that Darren McCarthy was right in front of the hit, sitting on the bench.....no wonder why he beat the ever living hell out of him in Detroit the following year!
And he and Draper were BFFs
Still the best fight in NHL history in my book. I loved when it comes up as a suggestion on RUclips lol
4:55 Jesus Christ. He’s lucky to have not broken his neck… my god that was brutal.
Pacioretty had several broken vertebrae and Chara was never suspended. It's an absolute shame...
I'm not even really a hockey fan but I remember this and I remember how disgraceful it was. Every part of it was intentional and criminal. Max was lucky to live through it. The focus seemed to go to the poor arena design rather than the blatant outrageous assault.
I remember seeing this and thinking he was dead. Brutal.
Torres on the next clip gets 41 games for almost nothing, still dirty but he didn’t nearly kill somebody.
@@danieldeneault153 slight correction, he only had one fractured vertebrae, specifically the C4 Vertebra.
7:03 the hell did I just watch?🤣🤣🤣
Can tell the difference between who’s trying to finish their check and make a nice big clean hit and who’s actively making a conscious decision to hurt someone…those are the ones that make my stomach turn
I think you could argue every hit comes with the intention to hurt. Not severely in every case but definitely cause some damage
So most of these are absolutely dirty hits. It pretty much comes down to where and how they're hit.
wish the vid showed the suspensions/fines for each of these.
and that Domi elbow at 4:40 was such a disgrace. i lost so much respect for him after that.
Having respect for Tie Domi is like having respect for Nigerian princes. But I loved when he punched the fan that fell into the penalty box, classic.
@@andrewcole7479 i thought my comment would get some hate, but man that was funny.
@@gordlawson11 I agree with you. I didn't like Domi very much, but I also loved him for sucker punching Ulf Samuelsson.
I think CanucksFan is the one with a series about suspensions, fines, and forfeited salaries for penalties. Give him a look
lmao when they dropped modano on the stretcher.
that's wrong.
The amount of headshots is just devastating, it really curls my toes and I’m good with this type of stuff
1:09 and so started one of the greatest rivalries in nhl history, and also one of the best line brawls.
Hey keep up the awesome work! Thanks for the hockey hit video
The classic lemiux hit that led to one of the most intense rivalry in the history of sports and the famous fight night at the joe.
George Jones was my father's favorite musician, and it's funny to me because now I'm in my 40s I find myself listening to him more and more.
That Cory Perry hit basically ended Ryan Ellis’ career
As a Stars fan, we were embarrassed to have Perry play like that. That 1/4 mile walk of shame though.... priceless.
Somebody should have told the Flyers before they signed him to play 4 games and then ride injuries for the rest of the year.
@@donaldstevens932 Hey now, the Flyers off season plan was to build the worst D in the league... So he fits in perfectly with that!
He also nearly ended John Taveras career too.
4:56 I actually got hit similar to that. Instead, I was trying to get the puck out of the zone. I tried speeding around the defender, which I did. Then he boarded me right into the boards, face first, then stomach, then feet. I rested myself for 2 weeks before playing sports again.
I saw that hit live (On t.v that is) from Chara...he ended Pacioretty's career.
@@twostraightdads526 Thanks...I did not know that...I thought he retired after that hit...my BIG MISTAKE.
Anyone old enough to remember when Gary Suter took Paul Kariya out with a vicious cross check. Kariya couldn't play for Canada at the Olympics because of the injury. (The Olympics where in Japan that year...1998. Kariya is of Japanese decent) I remember when it happened like it was yesterday, and it still bothers me today.
Kariya one of the greatest of all time.
I watched it live. It was vicious. I'm a Blackhawks fan, but Suter lost any respect I had for him after that.
In this video Kariya got caught admiring his pass.
Suter also hit Gretzky from behind in 91, basically forcing him to have back issues for the rest of his career. Dirty player.
I know it was a dirty hit but nothing makes me smile more then when he gets nailed by Keith in this vid. That guy deserves every bad thing that happens to him plus more...
I wonder if Keith would admit he meant to do it for all the other players who Cooke maimed.
Aaron Rome single handedly changed the trajectory of that cup series with that dirty hit on Horton. Boston was reinvigorated after that and never took their foot off the gas.
Honestly, if McSorley had still been with them, Rome would have been scooping his own jaw up with a shovel.
Totally clean hit by Rome there !!! Bullshit call and suspension aswell.✌
@@roncarter5871 apparently you were watching a different series. it was very late and to be honest, he was never the same.
@@shotaholic1 ...ya I disagree with you on that but ..it was clean
@@roncarter5871 jumping into someone's head isn't clean
Correct me if I'm wrong but Claude Lemieux hitting Kris Draper was the beginning of like a decade long rivalry
Honestly, looking back, Matt Cooke should be in prison for some of the shit he did to other players.
I grew up next to a former NHL player as a kid I always thought hockey players were "dumb brutes" since him and all his former player friends seemed a bit slow... as a teenager I realized what was going on and it's sad
CTE is no joke. Its not just hockey that is going through it, rugby players here are on the back end of it too
@@HotForgeChaos it is sad. that the players have all the power they need to amend the rules so that they do not die. and they do little to nothing to help themselves.
so. they only have themselves, and their brothers in hockey, to blame for the life-ending injuries they suffer.
morons.
I love how the Bruins announcers clearly miss the elbow from Marchand on Johansson (12:45). "You always have to be concerned that a player might catch the blade of somebody's skate as they come through..." Yeah...might want to be concerned more about an elbow to the head! LOL Bruins announcers,...biggest homers in the league. Brad Marchand, player I would love to have on my team...but hate to play against :p
They are hard to listen too. When i hear their announcers voice i cringe
In his defense, when he said it they hadn't seen the replay in the booth and it did look like Brad's skate came up. Jack is certainly a homer, but Brick is very good and if he has an opinion about something he will say that it might be biased.
@@Governor_William_J_Lepetomane Jack Edwards is the kind of goof that would see it and defend it. Boston takes a ton of hate mainly because of that loud mouth squid.
to be fair, looking at it slowed down marchands stick got caught up with the goalie and both his hands moved as a result the elbow was just a byproduct of that, unlucky.
Looked to me like his stick got stuck, while tripping, and his momentum flung his arm/elbow out.
The other Marchand clip in there is 100% on purpose, but I'm willing to give him benefit of the doubt on the elbow.
In my opinion I think the dirtiest play is at 2:01
Churla deserved what he got for trying to run Bure several times only seconds prior to that hit. watch?v=xjUO4JO4IaY&ab_channel=yosoo
Perry getting kicked from an outdoor game within the first 3 min of the first period and having that walk of shame in front of so many is so great
10:19 god i miss RJ so much. iconic charisma and always telling it how it is, miss u RJ
0:48 The moment the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup. The Bruins' response for the rest of that series was one of a pissed off team. From that point on, they went 4-1 and outscored the Canucks 21-4
Raffi Torres: King Of The Cheap Shots. I watched that hit on Hossa live and I knew from the point of impact, Torres had a 1st class ticket on the suspension train.
Sometimes when I need a pick me up I just watch video of Adam Mcquaid beating the sh*t out of Torres.
7:00 talk about a bad day at work! 😅
I remember a clip from an old VHS of classic sport fights where some ice hockey player with a mullet had his stick taken off him by a man in the crowd, so he went into the crowd to fight the guy 😅. No idea of the teams but I think it was a US match.
