I think, in hockey, there's a difference in not taking normal hits personal and dirty hits like these. If you get known as a dirty player, you become a target.
Example: Matt Cooke (#24 on Pittsburgh/Minnesota) is on both the giving and receiving end of multiple hits in this video.
Man, I remember playing in Bantam (U15), and we were playing a home game. I remember about 15 seconds left on the clock then BAM!! 15 seconds on the clock is the last thing I remember before waking up to the ending of a bench brawl after the game ended, apparently it started because the other teams biggest player charged me (average skinny sized at the time) and smashed me from behind into the boards. I don't even remember but I guess I went head first into the boards and was out like a light. It's a hit I look back on because holy fuck I was close to a broken spine or neck.
Mann, that’s crazy bro fr, glad nothing career ending happened
The hit at 10:30, it was a playoffs game between Boston and Montreal. Zednik was Montreal’s best player in the serie and he was out for the rest of the playoffs. I’m still not over it !
Zednik had a rough time, that not being close to his worst injury over his career
The reason most of these people arent prepared, is because you arent allowed to hit a player who doesnt have control of the puck. if you do you get penalized for interference, and if its bad you get a suspension (often times). if you commit to the hit when he has the puck but he passes/loses it that is legal, as long as its a clean hit.
The officials have some discretion here, but generally you have about 2 seconds after a pass is made to hit the guy. If either of you change direction or take more than one full stride, it’s late.
I hope the referees have a safe word with the players in them piles of punches. “STOP!” I don’t think would be enough hahahah
That Lindros hit at the end was the biggest, most controversial, season changing, game changing hit in NHL history.
I was sitting in the mezzanine in the corner where he got hit. It was game 7 and you just knew we’d lose the game and would never see #88 in a Flyers sweater ever again. That’s the quietest I’ve ever heard the building in 40 years of Flyers games.
a clean hit in hockey is defined by the contact point and direction of the hit. shoulder to shoulder is clean. shoulder to chest is clean. you are allowed to push with your arm after the initial impact, but not to lead in with the arm. hitting from the front, or at a reasonable angle that they should see you when looking ahead is clean. hitting a player that has the puck or is 1second away from receiving it, is generally clean.
contact with the elbow is automatically dirty. hits to the head are automatically dirty. jumping into a hit is dirty. hitting a player that is nowhere near the puck is dirty. hitting from behind is dirty. hitting with the stick is dirty
hope i cleared out enough details to help you determine what hits are clean / dirty
edit : as for this video, about 2/3 are actually dirty but some were just unfortunate, or in a grey area
Gotcha, preciate that 💯
When i was still watching as a Vancouver Canucks fan i remember the hit at 2:12 being the turning point in the series, though Vancouver was up two games this fired up Boston and they ended up winning the cup.
and im sure it wont be the only dirty hit from a Canuck on this video.
They don’t see a lot of these coming because they’re so dirty!! It’s the blindside late hits that do you in everytime. I play hockey and it’s a choice to ease up when you’re hitting someone coming onto their numbers. You have time to slow down even if the game is fast. So many cheap shots that we don’t need in hockey. Great reaction as always, Matt!
Some of these hits ended careers
I’m glad they’re taking steps to take this stuff out of the game. You can be tough without the dirty plays
@2:40 where you’re talking about not being able to keep track of everything. You are 💯 right there. I played hockey for half my life, and I can’t count how many times I’ve gotten blindsided. You’re trying to keep control of the puck and focusing on the guys in front of you that you never see the guy coming up on the side. Or any other way. Just a blur and BLAM. One hit quit.
horton hit stays in my head. absolutely demolished his career devastating
A Clean hit is one that shows no intention to cause harm. To Target the Body at its Core and not Limbs that could Cause Severe Or Permenant Damage. And A Dirty Hit Is the Exact Opposite a Hit the Hitter shows clear intention to hit the Head Legs Arms Ect Or when a Skater Charges the person they are Hitting. (Charging Consitutes as any hit that is executed when a skater is taking full strides or more than 3 strides(steps in hockey) towards the person they are hitting (Gliding into a person can go both ways but its the refs descrestion)
Something also very dirty is when the hitter throws himself in the opponent. The skates are not supposed to leave the ice before you make contact, like Downie on McCammond
As a referee myself, the hockey definition of checking is “making body contact with the intent of separating the player from the puck”.
Some of the older hits on here were legal at the time, but no longer. As long as you led with shoulder (not elbow), it was legal even if “dirty”.
A few of these hits, along with concussion awareness, led to rule changes. Nowadays, the following are all illegal and subject to a major penalty and likely suspension:
-the principal point of contact is the head (head contact)
-taking 3+ steps into a hit, and/or leaving your feet to jump into a hit (charging/boarding)
-hits from behind, especially 2-5 feet from the boards (checking from behind)
-basically any check where the leg is the principal target and/or weapon (clipping)
Several well-known dirty/cheap players were featured on this video several times: Tom Wilson, Dale Hunter, Matt Cooke, Scott Stevens, Bryan Marchment.
I like how your hat interacts with your green screen. Genius idea.
I played hockey my entire childhood (3 years old through senior year of high school). Never moved on to play in college or the pros, and now when I watch today I have the same reaction as you. “Nah brah I’m good.” It’s fucking brutal out there in the major leagues. I don’t know how these guys do it.
for the money
Hey matt, idk if u already know this but if you were wondering why some clips are in french, that’s because the Montréal canadiens are located in a french speaking province in Canada (Québec). They are the only profesional sport team in America where the fanbase is mostly french
Yea I heard a lil something about that, kinda cool and interesting to think about
Matt Matt Matt! Dub videos bruh! Keep up the grind! Love the content!
Preciate that fr, much love 💯💯
Some career Enders there.
The knee impact on Barrie made me queezy. Played sports for 20 years and I've had knee issues from a hockey injury exactly like that almost 10 years ago. Dirty Dirty hits.
Side note, love the channel Matt! Ever watched a rugby game?
If you havnt you should react to a line/bench brawl video. keep up the great work
The hits to the head don’t seem too violent compared to the hits in the nfl but hockey helmets are a lot smaller and less protective so it feels the same to nhl players. When these guys get hit a full speed to the head like at 10:58 their season and sometimes career is over. Also the whiplash from going 15mph+ to 0 and slamming your head into solid packed ice is super dangerous. Concussions aren’t talked ab in hockey that much but they need to be. One play like these can cause major brain damage/CTE later in their lives. Any hockey fans remember when mats zuccarello took a shot to the head and had to relearn how to talk and walk.
love the reactions! never give up man
a clean shoulder to shoulder, or shoulder to chest hit, i wont mind. if i wasnt looking thats my fault. thats always the first thing coaches tell you; be aware of your surroundings before you do anything
but if you throw the elbow, knee, target the head, or slash with the stick, that is personal, and as you say, beyond hockey. and if you dare hurt one of my teammates, expect retaliation. in this game or the next. remember my jersey cause its the last thing youll see before you go back to the dressing room
When a guy gets knocked to the ice and his arms come up immediately, that’s a bad sign. The second and third hit you reacted to (so far, haven’t finished the video) ended those careers.
Edit: Matt Cooke (the fourth guy) was a habitually dirty player. His number was gonna come sooner or later if you know The Code.
And back in the day, concussion protocol wasn’t really a thing in the nhl. Paul Kariya said he got laid out and dragged to the locker room and he was given a shot of pain killers and sent back out to the ice. He scored again and has no memory of it to this day. It was a famous call “off the floor, on the board, Paul Kariya!” And his brains were so scrambled he doesn’t even remember it. Scott Stevens ruined a lot of players careers before the league pretended to care about the brain health of their players.
Loved the long video! That was a good time! All the hits look dirty to me too, or at least unnecessary. This is why I liked playing goalie 🥅 lol. Ice isn’t easy, that’s what makes this sport so difficult. Everything you’ve reacted to, was done on skates… ❤the channel Matt,hope all is good
Aye I feel that lol, and thank you, much love 💯
Alot of these pretty much ended careers
although fun to watch big hits this video really shows the demise for some of these players who got stretchered out how hard it is to come back lots of star players who never saw the light again
9:37 Pacioretty(the guy who got hit) broke his neck on that hit.
The Sevens hit on Kariya is dirty because it was late and to the head. Injured or not, has no bearing on a Clean vs Dirty.
0:53 This is not a child's sport!
Sure you've heard it before but the nhl had changed, so the older clips players could get away with stuff that would be considered dirty (or dirtier at least) when compared to now, a good clean hit how is typically shoulder on chest or shoulder on shoulder
Also you need to make sure the person you're hitting had the puck and you don't hit their head
We don't take it personal because we're grown adults who understand that you can get seriously hurt in the game of hockey no matter what. That's why we're paid a lot of money. Same thing if you want to sign up for the Army that's your choice. Like you said in the beginning You Do It For the Love of the Game. We also understand that these players have family and loved ones so we would never risk the health of an a****** just to see his family hurt
About taking hits personally. Regular legal checks are expected. Dirty hits however are remembered…..the player responsible will definitely find himself a target, whenever those two teams face each other again….that’s when it’s taken personally….not just by the affected player but by the whole team. In Canada it’s in our blood, kids start out in hockey as young as five.. I think it was an American sportscaster tat said….F a player ever died on American ice, that would probably end hockey in the US. If one died on Canadian ice, it would not end the sport.
That cooke guy I think got banned he got so many suspensions. Happy to see him and avery get rocked
I can watch that Keith hit over and over again for years and it’ll still put a smile on my face. :)
Please react to Matthew Tkachuk! all of his compilations are soooo good!
Don't worried about Matt Cooke being leveller by Duncan Keith, he deserves plenty more
Keep your skates on the ice, glide into the hit, keep your elbow tucked, don't hit the numbers, the legs, or the head, and make sure the guy you're hitting has the puck.
Clean hits have nothing to do with if you get up or don’t get up from a hit. Hockey checks ( hits ) are a legal defensive move. To be legal ( clean ), you can only use hip check or a shoulder check. You can only target the opposing player who has control of the puck. You must hit them between their neck and hip.. Some illegal checks involve jumping up and into the player , hitting their head elbowing them etc. Penalties will be given for illegal hits ( if seen by refs & linesmen ).
goood stuff
Didn't realize we were watching a Matt Cooke vs Raffi Torres video.
You see one guy over and over in this video. Matt Cooke. There's a reason....
Bruin's my team Matt 🐐☘️
Make more good videos like this please
You could see from the last one very clearly it was a shoulder check ( legal ) but it was to Lindro’s jaw ( illegal ), if he had hit him lower down…..it would have been legal.
I still hate the Avalanche for that hit on Draper.
These players took the hits personally, TRUST ME
Me last year sucked. I was 15 years old 5'9 140 pounds playing against 18 year old 6'4 220 lmao. My head go abused a ton
Look up Joey kosher he literally ended careers in the NHL because his right hand was so heavy whenever he fight somebody it was a knockout
I'm just curious what you think of hockey's entertain value when compared to the NBA and NFL, like if NBA was a 5/10 where is hockey and nfl
When they hit like that the player that got hit has done something dirty
This was like 90-10’s it’s uncommon but when it happens it’s way more accidental
5:43 ryssä on ryssä vaikka osaisi pelata jääkiekkoa ja voissa paistaisi.
Wait what?? Is this a comment that doesn’t say “When’s hot wings video?” 😂😂
When hot wings video?
Don’t worry bro. If you ever decide to lace em up for a game or two most beer leagues don’t have body checking ahaha it’s just the big boys that hit aha
I really shouldn't have laughed when the stretcher fell over but I just couldn't help it
Matt they blind side guys but the team is gonna get revenge for those hits
Matt your making me laugh in the cereal isle
NHL loudest hits please 🙏
You do worst injuries yet?
Have u ever seen the play when a player was down and an other player step on his leg intentionally before to leave the ice? Bro it’s the dirties cheap shot I’ve seen in 16 years of hockey
I understand why you turned away for the chara hit on pacioretty I still remember watching it live. It is one of the worst hits in hockey history still hard to watch to this day
Hits from behind are a no as well
I would love for you to react to a show called letterkenny and shorsey best of Canada comedy and hockey or to a RUclips video called terry tate office linebacker
Dirty is hits to the head or knees
i dont think chara's hit on paccereti(excuse the spelling) was dirty, unfortunate ,yes but not dirty. and i dislike chara, so its not favoritism .
This is what happens when they take fighting.
You keep seeing this thru a basketball frame of mind. I understand you are a basketball player you should have done a little homework, maybe watched a game or two to prepare. You see these hits back to back because it's a compilation, in a game this may happen once or twice. I will say Hockey is the roughest sport there is and these men are the toughest athletes in the world except for maybe MMA fighters, women and men. You take pride in a fast hard bone cracking hit when it's a clean fair hit. I played ice hockey 16 years and if you clocked me in the face with an elbow, before that game was over, I would chase you down jump your back with my arm behind your head slam you to the ice and while you are seeing stars around your head I would beat the fuck out of you. You would never forget # 13.
Try road hockey my friend!
Rule nro 1. Keep your head up. Still most of them were dirty.
that hit where the guy hit the divider was not cheap. chara was bigger and battling for the puck
every hockey player knows where the dividers are on the ice tho... but I wont start a new debate about that hit its been done a million times lmaoo
That's my team the Bruin's they better send out the Enforcer Shawn Thornton that was a punk move
news flash..hockey is a contacts sport;)
Knee on knee very dirty, elbows to head, very dirty. Shoulder to body ok. Hip checks ok.
This has always been the part of hockey I don't like at all.
Matt players have been paralyzed from the neck down
Matt cooke does 3 of the hits and recieves another in this video. He was a cheap shot llayer
When hot wings video?
I tried 2 mins of this video but he kept pausing every 5 seconds!! Had to stop and watch something else!
That's my team Bruins
The first highlight I was sitting a couple rows behind the bench during that Blues game. Pat Maroon beat the shit out of Wilson after that.
