Ottawa is about to win and make series 2-1 in their favor.

Score is 8-4 with 1 minute left.

I hope you're not serious about that being a tough hit. I've taken bigger hits from my sister.

That's not to mention my time playing Street Hockey.

I'm not trying to woo the crowd over to my side, but all it looks like is someone getting caught off balance and under the chin. Nothing to really brag about, considering how the saber player (he's not important enough to name) barely even flinched.

Yup. Just watched the replay. Nothing impressive at all.

I dunno. That's at least 200 lbs coming at him at full speed, without him having any time to prepare or even see it coming. He hit him square - that guy went flying back. At any rate, that's about the most brutal (clean) open ice hit you can hope for. A hip check might be more spectacular, and if you land wrong, hurt more, but that sucker was just a car crash. With an oak.

Who the hell is your sister? Derian Hatcher? I doubt you took many hits like that in "street hockey". The guy was out cold before he hit the ice.

I have to say, while I've been rooting for Detroit my heart wasn't quite into it, and I've really admired the way Edmonton is playing. This is how hockey should be. Yeah there's been some so-so periods, but mostly its been really sharp action, lots of good hits, and plenty of shots on goal with 2 excellent goalies. I heard one of the players say it was emotionally draining, heck its draining just watching! Detroit may have had the best regular season record, but as everybody knows this is a different game altogether. Edmonton is up 2 -1 in the series now. Next game is at home for them. Be interesting to see if Detroit has enough juice left in the tank to pick it up on the road against these guys.

He didn't go flying back. He fell in place. The only reason the hit "Seemed Brutal" is that he got caught under the chin when he wasn't paying attention.

Eric Lindros (also an ex-flyer) used to do this all the time. Lindros was one of the tallest players in the NHL, yet he skated with his head at shoulder height for the average height NHL player. Couple this with looking down and all someone has to do is connect with their shoulder and you're going out like a light.

That doesn't mean that it was a big hit. It means you were a handsomehunk for skating like a flaming retard and not paying attention.

Btw, Eric Lindros and his brother actually had to end their careers from too many concussions from skating like retards.

For those of you who don't know, this is how real hockey players hit: Real Hit.

Open ice hit vs. one body being forced into a solid object...

Oarges and Apples.

Umberger recieved a concussion. No one said it was the greatest hit of all time. Only saying it was a good hit. Ive seen Pat Lofontaine take alot harder hits.

That hit right there is borderline suspension-worthy. I'd have to see a few other angles of it, but from that one, it looks like a hit from behind with intent to injure to me... At any rate, a bench-clearer (and yet, there isn't a brawl - what sort of sissy league is this?

)

Put someone through the glass in the NHL and i'd imagine you'd be receiving a not so nice note from the commissioner. I've seen some hard hits but that was along the lines of Bertuzzi.
