Biggest Hit You've Ever Seen?

Re: Biggest Hit You've Ever Seen?

like the BU fans who remember that Roy was hit, illegally from behind.

In all my conversations with BU people since that tragic day, I have never heard someone refer to that play as a hit from behind, not even a penalty. Since that play was captured on video, most people have seen the footage and know what really happened. In fact I would submit that many BU fans (certainly newer ones) have no idea who Mitch Vig is - which pretty much is confirmation that nobody thinks he did anything wrong.

Rusty Griswald,
you have oddly selective memory, like the BU fans who remember that Roy was hit, illegally from behind.

Um, what? Everybody, including BU fans, know that Travis tripped and went head first into the boards. Never ever had I heard one BU fan mention that he was hit illegally from behind and the fact that you even posted that makes me remember how your hatred for BU affects your thought process.

Definitely not this.

Maybe this.

Didn't Gionta play for Penn State?

Maybe that is why I couldn't find it. I always get those two confused.

Notice his claim that Pat Eaves broke his own vertebra (not shocking that this is a Maine fan claiming this since it happened vs. Maine).

And of course, he hit Exter, not the other way around.

well duh what else would he talk about... dose he go to every hockey game in hockey east? or dose he just support his own team?

She said you weren't that good. Hence no caramel rolls for you.

Wait, didn't Yager get a caramel roll when he was in grand forks?

Re: Biggest Hit You've Ever Seen?

I'm surprised so many are actually doing his research for him and giving him all the required info to find real hits.

But even with that in mind, I can't believe no one has mentioned the most devastating hit I can remember in college hockey when Rob Stauber (Michigan Tech) layed out Brian Gianta (Iowa State) so hard that the plexiglass shattered, and Gianta's helmut went flying into the first row of seats just a couple years ago. I swear I saw it playing on You Tube but have since lost the link. I'm sure with some good digging the clip could be found.

Re: Biggest Hit You've Ever Seen?

KIA, as you can see back on page 1, I basically rescinded my post. Although that seems to have been a bad idea judging from your opinion on all things Peaves.

KOSports obviously isn't a college hockey fan

Rusty Griswald,
you have oddly selective memory, like the BU fans who remember that Roy was hit, illegally from behind.

Eaves skated backward, blindly into a clothesline. 2 players were skating away with the same stick, both thinking it was theirs and Eaves skated backward into it.

Eaves hip checked Exter in the head. (watch the video) ANY classy player does not hit a goalie at full speed, never mind in the head. NEVER. (not even Prestin Ryan... whose hit on Eaves, nobody would ever defend... being an objective fan of HOCKEY, not of Maine, I am not sure why you continue to defend Eaves and his dirty play)

I wonder if the OP is next going to ask for video of children on fire or beheadings of Americans over in the middle east.

Hits where victims do not get up for a while are not cool.
This is why I have examples of some really, really uncool ones.

Re: Biggest Hit You've Ever Seen?

This must have been around 92-94 or so.

I was at the Bradley Center for the Badger Hockey Showdown and UW's Dan Plante (5'11, 215) just "Planted" some poor kid skating with his head down through neutral. Plante had a head of steam and that kid did NOT get up for some time. The hit was clean, and dammit was it a pile driver.

And...it was right in front of us. The crowd just cringed and got pretty fired up after that hit.

Wisconsin Hockey: Danny "Freight Train" Plante.

1991, Big Ben Hankenson introduces Danny Plante to the WCHA with a thunderous check sending him spinning on the ice. I will never forget that one and those boys both came from the greatest public hockey school ever!!!

The one and only time I went to UND to watch a game, I took Dirty's mom into the bathroom..she definitely wasn't able to walk afterward.
