@@daveyineluctable5525 Kronwall wasn't nearly as big as some of these monsters. The "jump" was what made his hits just as hard and effective. I'm a wings fan so I'm biased but I like to believe even if I wasn't, as long as the hit wasn't to the head, I'm cool with it. No worse than a hip check taking a guys legs in full stride.
Asleep Osprey He should've mentioned Weber, he's the next hardest hitter in my opinion after buff, he's also a heavy guy that hits with a lot of force.
Homer Simpson Connor Sheary has impressed me quite a few times now too, he's very aggressive on the boards and it's funny to watch because he's so small, packs a decent punch though.
Buff always lets up on hits, he knows he could end carriers. Hell, he could kill someone if something wonky happens.... but as a Winipeger, i really want him to have a mean streak.
It's interesting that they show the Habs' Shea Weber whilst I believe Alexei Emelin hits harder than him. As a matter of fact, Emelin's hard hitting is what made him reach the NHL. It's his only major league attribute, in my opinion, and definitely the only attribute in which you could say he's better than Weber. I guess Weber gets the star treatment for this video. Emelin's hip checks are bone crushing AND numerous! Kinda reminds me of Darius Kasparaitis who was infamous for his hip checks too. No Radko Gudas? Maybe they prefer to talk about clean hard hitters? :P Also, interesting that Zdeno Chara isn't even mentioned in 2016. I guess time flies by. Not long ago, it used to be Kronwall in the west ( back when Detroit played in that conference ) and Chara in the east.
ShadowHunter31 I've been watching all Canadiens games this season. They are on the same team, and I can guarantee you that Emelin hits harder. Francis Bouillon was very small and could hit like a rock. Emelin also delivers more hits, stats can prove it.
How could only one person briefly mention Kronwall? He has a term named after him for goodness sake lol. I don't see anyone saying that someone got Byfugliened
Nifty Willy Ovi doesn't have the mass behind his hits, he's fast and physical yes, but when he hits it's over quick. When 265lb Buff comes in and hits, there's a lot more kinetic force transferred which results in people going flying.
Coxy002605 He may be heavy, but he doesn't have a heavy hit. Hard to explain I know, it's like people who have a "heavy shot" yet it doesn't go all that fast.
...soooo this was obviously filmed during the WCOH 2016 and the answers are skewed to say "Buff". Real fancy editing at the end to make it seem like other players were mentioned.
Byfuglien is always fun to watch until he plays your team. I dunno what is going on with Lucic whether he hurt himself or what, he hasn't been doing much in terms of physicality in the past few games.
Would you rather take a hit from a football player or a basketball player? All joking aside, Chara #1 in the corners, but not much of a hitter anymore.
he tries to avoid checks, because he would catch everyone in the head with his height. and with the rules changes he would be suspended half of the season.
Pound for pound one of the best hitters in the league. Too bad his brain is on permanent wildman mode. Somebody programmed him wrong back in the day and they've never been able to find the reset button. Too bad. His clean hits are absolutely fierce.
Buff retired and people are still feeling the hits And then Oshie is so right, you can see Byfuglien let up on a bunch of those. One of those times I'm very happy I wasn't good enough at hockey
I think that Neil could be up there as well. Maybe burns although Burnsy is more of a smart hitter instead of just pure force. But I'd be scared if Neil was coming at me full speed and committed to the hit
The young guy is right, Buff lets up; he could have put Stone in the cemetery. He's the perfect presence to keep your skill players safe. You wouldnt want to make him angry.
Paul Maurice said in an interview that hit on Stone scared Buff so much he though he was going to kill somebody. Tyler Myers said that Buff was yelling at Stone to get his head up just before he hit him.
Stone went from 60kph to negative 5kph in 0.01 seconds
As a jets fan I’m not surprised but that was one of his hardest hit
even fooled the cameraman lol
We miss you byfuglien🥲 I can’t imagine the jets without you being there at the start.
Jep
Was kronwall but not anymoe
shahmir saleem Too old now
+William Stewart ya and that game 7 suspension is not helping he is a marked man now
shahmir saleem Yup, short leash.
Kronwall jumped pretty much every time, but the league was way more lenient back in Kronwall's prime.

Surprised Pacioretty didn't say Chara, albeit he probably doesn't remember
Q Daddy damnnn
Yeah cause that was the old Pac, he died on that hit and was reborn a greater player!
yeah, no
hahahhaa
Q Daddy Probably out of spite lmao
According to a poll by the refs, its Wideman hands down.
Chris Harkins or hands up if ya know what i mean ;)
@@espressodepresso8294 well played
Should have said heads down
Kronwall used to dominate these lists. Wow, those were the good days
Oh please, Johnny Gaudreau could drop all of these guys with no effort.
Chief Xibalba yea 😂😂😂
Chief Xibalba I'm a huge fan gaudreau but I highly doubt he could hit anyone on that list
Gaudreau doesn't need to hit anyone, though. Just wait a couple minutes and Tkachuk will slew foot 'em.
Chief Xibalba not byflugian or chara
NOT TOOTOO
Why did byfuglien mention lucic? Lucic came charging at buff once and he bounced off him.
Homer Simpson cause he couldn't choose himself
Asleep Osprey He should've mentioned Weber, he's the next hardest hitter in my opinion after buff, he's also a heavy guy that hits with a lot of force.
+William Stewart Datsyuk decked Weber once... i think pound for pound Datsyuk could be the best despite his small size.
Homer Simpson Connor Sheary has impressed me quite a few times now too, he's very aggressive on the boards and it's funny to watch because he's so small, packs a decent punch though.
+William Stewart Hes one of my favorite players on the penguins but an even more aggressive smaller guy is Chris Wagner. He checks anyone and everyone
Jordin Tootoo as mentioned once, is also a very strong and very hard hitting guy. Very fast and build like a tank.
JOHN SCOTT
The goat!
Before Byfuglien became famous for hits, I would say Phaneuf in his days with Calgary. Man he was a monster.
Denis Gauthier before that!
Grandpa funny how they both wore #3 in Calgary
Phaneuf had big hits in his time in Toronto as well. He is top 10/5 for hits in the league.
He still laid some nasty hits in TO as well.
He's really regressed over the past 3 years or so.
Still is lol he ended over 3 peoples careers, I miss the old dion though.
Buffs hits are so effective not only because he’s huge, because he skates so damn well
@Hudson Peters He never played for any of my fav teams, but I miss him too. It's not the same league without him.
Byefooglian
Horizon Spiral Johnny Boychuck deserves to be mentioned
That's how I pronounce it, just to bug people. Bye-foog -lee-an.
1:38 "luckily i wasn't TOO injured"
@0:22 The way Zach Parise says Byfuglien rings with a pure truth.
big buff for sue
funny if Pacioretty said Chara
Noah I was about to say the same thing when I realized it was the top comment
Noah it wasnt really a hit by chara it was kinda just a dirty play by him
Noah that’s what I was saying
the stanchion hits harder than chara did.. Chara isnt a hard hitter lol
prob didn’t remember it
We need a new version of this
Agreed, though video would be like 1min long cause rules changes and other nonsense mean players avoid it unfortunately.
Now asking Mark Stone who the best hitter is, that's just rude :P
1:54 the second I heard him start talking I knew who it was. Weirdest voice in the league
The second I read your comment I knew who it was 😂
Buff always lets up on hits, he knows he could end carriers. Hell, he could kill someone if something wonky happens.... but as a Winipeger, i really want him to have a mean streak.
Alexei Emelin , hip check master
Андрей Иванов Rob Blake hit harder.
Fool, Rob Blake doesn't play anymore ...
He's not a master at anything. He's mostly a dirty player.
Marco Polo lol 99% of his hits are clean
Андрей Иванов I call bullshit on that.
Saw Buff with no shirt on. He's made of cow bones.
Great guy to have on your team, though some weak minded coaches might disagree.
that was hilarious.
Surprisingly the knock on him was that he always came to camp out of shape. That's scary.
I remember watching him when he Played with the Hawks, I have massive respect for that guy
Bufuglien hands down. Guys just bounce off him. He's just a beast.
Underrated possible Ryan Reaves
Reclusion Would agree. I only watch him when he plays the Hawks but he has quick feet which helps his power.
Very true man.
I think Price would say Kreider
Linus Scordia i think Kreider would say Price
Eric Wertz well played. 👏🏼
haha true
Alex Ovechkin is a BEAST
Kronwall used to be the biggest hitter out there
I'd say big buff. I'm a Calgary fan and back then, I thought Phaneuf was a pretty tough guy
Logan Couture has a striking resemblance to Anna Kendrick
haha I can see it.
Tom Wilson. How is he not mentioned?
Matthew Gordon dirty hits don’t count
@@rjrebholz8828 Remove the dirty hits he's still up there.
Matthew Gordon cuz he’s not cleab
@@OviLVR8 removing the dirty hits would take away 90% of his hits
"Jordin tootoo.."-Kane

Have you ever been hit by Weber? Or Emelin? You should look at their weight difference. I'd prefer getting hit by Emelin.
ShadowHunter31
I've been watching all Canadiens games this season. They are on the same team, and I can guarantee you that Emelin hits harder. Francis Bouillon was very small and could hit like a rock. Emelin also delivers more hits, stats can prove it.
can't argue with that.
Scott Stevens and Nik Kronwall laugh at this video.
The checks from Bettman on Québec are brutal too...
Ehhhhhh my boy Tootoo,and Byfuglien used to be friends with my uncle when he played for the Brandon Wheat Kings in high school
Radko Gudus is a huge hitter right now too.
Kronwall isn't a big guy, but he can crush people. That's pretty admirable, from a hitting standpoint
Between either Byfuglien or Gaudreau.
How could only one person briefly mention Kronwall? He has a term named after him for goodness sake lol. I don't see anyone saying that someone got Byfugliened
Buff for sure, but no Ovy?
Nifty Willy Ovi doesn't have the mass behind his hits, he's fast and physical yes, but when he hits it's over quick. When 265lb Buff comes in and hits, there's a lot more kinetic force transferred which results in people going flying.
You realise Ovechkin weighs 240lbs, right? He's a monster.
Coxy002605 He may be heavy, but he doesn't have a heavy hit. Hard to explain I know, it's like people who have a "heavy shot" yet it doesn't go all that fast.
Buff is 6'6" 265, ovi is 6'3" 230, he looks small next to him sorry
Buff is 265? On what scale? That dude has to be close to 400lbs. Dude is a whale. ha ah
Buff man he is awesome
Mason Raymond for sure.
...soooo this was obviously filmed during the WCOH 2016 and the answers are skewed to say "Buff". Real fancy editing at the end to make it seem like other players were mentioned.

Huge respect to Patrick Kane for appreciating the TooToo train!
Buff is up there, have to agree with Oshie on that one. But Phaneuf is up there too. He can injure someone, he almost did a couple weeks ago.
Why is chara not there
Would you rather take a hit from a football player or a basketball player?
All joking aside, Chara #1 in the corners, but not much of a hitter anymore.
too slow
sam93931 true he has gotten slower
Devilsfan72704 I'm also ultimate all birding calls no good checks
he tries to avoid checks, because he would catch everyone in the head with his height. and with the rules changes he would be suspended half of the season.
Buffy rn All time Scott Stevens
KRONWALLED!!
It used to be if you got hit it was your fault cause you had your head down now it’s the hitters fault because they caught you out
Buff without a doubt. Kronwall made hiring an art.
Chris neil and raffi torres have absolutely leveled people
Kane Garvey yeah but Torres' hits are usually dirty so
Dustin Brown Only the ones thst get overplayed like Raffis suspension hits
Gudas.
Wayne Train goofus
I miss big buff
buff forsure but rinaldo hits super hard too even tho he doesnt play alot
Pound for pound one of the best hitters in the league. Too bad his brain is on permanent wildman mode. Somebody programmed him wrong back in the day and they've never been able to find the reset button. Too bad. His clean hits are absolutely fierce.
Mean while I'm thinking "Z'Deno Chara"
Too slow.
Scott Stevens. Aka the headhunter. Ovechkin is also a hard hitter too.
alexei emelin
Buff retired and people are still feeling the hits
And then Oshie is so right, you can see Byfuglien let up on a bunch of those. One of those times I'm very happy I wasn't good enough at hockey
Kronwall had a name for his hits
Surprised Pacioretty didn't say Chara
Matt Martin thooooo
I thought Pacioretty would say Chara, when he got hit between the benches.
My hockey coach fought Milin lucic
Where is Matt Martin?
Weber buff and emelin hip check legend
Patty kane
Dog's hockey highlights Patty no.
Why not Emelin?
BrickSquad1017613 because he's dirty
Myia Taylor not unlike any other hard hitter, they hit the head too, so don't give me that...
BrickSquad1017613 hugrgfhfbfhvn big buff
He Is called The TERMINATOR For A reason.
Who hits the hardest? It should be in the skills competition
What about Gudas?
He gets kronnwald
I think that Neil could be up there as well. Maybe burns although Burnsy is more of a smart hitter instead of just pure force. But I'd be scared if Neil was coming at me full speed and committed to the hit
The young guy is right, Buff lets up; he could have put Stone in the cemetery. He's the perfect presence to keep your skill players safe. You wouldnt want to make him angry.
Paul Maurice said in an interview that hit on Stone scared Buff so much he though he was going to kill somebody.
Tyler Myers said that Buff was yelling at Stone to get his head up just before he hit him.
Did byfuglien say "Luchek"? 0:45
He's my favourite player, got all byfuglien jerseys.
I'm surprised nobody said Reaves
Emelin?
These video is two years old. Today, Tom Wilson is the most stealthy and dangerous hitter in the league...when he's not getting suspended for it.
Scott Stevens 💪
BIG BUFF hands dwn.. 👊
Couture: Nikwish Kwonwall
Boy do I miss Big Buff on the Hawks.
Retired now but Niklas kronwall
Raffi torres is also one of The big hitters in The leauge
tom wilson hes a beast
No word character Boston is my favourite team since 2012
Surprised there is no mention of Brad Marchand.
Jake Virtanen should have had a mention
underrated nhl hotties not now he's only rookie take some time to develop pretty soon he's going be tank in the league
Bruh where Kronwall at?
surprised noone said ovi
Gaudreau should be here
john scott or George parros
These guys clearly never got Kronwalled.
Kainer needs that rogainer
tootoo hits hard
0:14 Zdeno Chára is the hardest hitter for me
How can people not agree buff?
