I think it’s so stupid that you can’t post certain things from hockey it’s part of the game. People are so sensitive like you can’t go your whole life sheltered not everyone is going to cater to you or care about if something you see bothers you. Suck it up you don’t like it don’t watch it.
I remember that first hit on Lundqvist. There was outrage by the organization and the fans, not because of the hit, but because of the lack of response by his teammates. You saw it in this video. Play went on. No one dropped the gloves. It was a bad hit, and it called for some reaction from the team, but there was none.
BTW: I'm one of the few people out there who says fighting has no place in hockey (please don't argue with me on this--I know that I'm in a very small minority and I'm aware of how everyone feels about it), but when someone lays your goalie out like that, especially when that goalie is someone as important to your team as Lundqvist was to NY, there has to be a reaction from the team.
There are three categories in this video. 1. Goalies in the 80s getting intentionally flattened 2. Mike Smith droppin' on the deck and floppin' like a fish 3. Fans still being mad at Milan Lucic for not assuming that Ryan Miller was going to be three feet in front of him when he lifted his head going for the puck. Also Mike Smith flopping.
If a goalie is going to leave his crease/the trapezoid, he's gotta be ready to be hit like that. He's not in his position, he's in the skaters' area now. Smith flops for sure, but they hit on Miller is only a thing because he bitched about it in the media
@@Jake_Broer the Miller thing still makes me laugh because of butthurt Sabres fans. That said, I don't see people demonizing Clifford for his hit on Mrazek, almost the exact same play - though, granted, that play was definitely overshadowed by David Ayres. Steve Dangle's video lives rent free. "The Toronto Maple Leafs just lost an ACTUAL National Hockey League game to a 42 year old Zamboni driver WHO WORKS FOR THEM!"
@@CorrionReap @Ken Sanford let's see you skate at a pylon with your head down - I'll call out a split second before the collision and see what happens when you lift your head. In a straight line at 15mph, are you gonna have the wherewithal to move out of the way, even though you have the same right to that spot on the ice as the pylon? Or are you going to brace yourself for the contact and continue to play the puck, like someone who isn't a pussy? It's a hockey play, it wasn't targeting, it was Lucic attempting to win a race to the puck and doing so. Hasek charged out of the crease all the time and never had a skirt put on him just because he was a goalie. Soooooo why is the Miller hit any different? It's not.
A goalie coming out of his crease to play the puck does NOT automatically become "fair game" like any other player. It even says so in the NHL Rulebook. Goalies aren't equipped to endure body checks. They may seem big but their entire equipment is 100% designed to protect against pucks, not bodies. Because of their equipment, goalies fall very awkwardly and body checking them runs a lot more risks than body checking a player. Goalies are ALLOWED to come out and play the puck and you are NOT allowed to body check them when they do so. That's the written rule.
@@T0rche bullshit blathering. If he leave the net, he has right and power to get puck, move, shoot, pass, and even score. While other players don't have same rights to defend from him? No... if he wants to be protected, he should stay in net area, if he leave, he is going fully into "players" game as player, the hits and body checks are justified.
@@warrax111 Believe what you want, and you can live in a world with your own rules if you wish, but I merely stated the actual rules of the game. If you allow players to fully check a goalie, just like any other player, they won't come out of their net as much and it will affect the flow of the game. It's been tested. It's also just ridiculous to believe that a goalie can defend himself properly against a body check. That's why whenever a player body checks a goalie and the referees deem that it was intentional, it's an automatic penalty, no questions asked, no matter how far out the goalie was. It's not that complicated. A goalie can come out to play the puck. You CAN take the puck away from him, you can even lift his stick, but you CANNOT body check him.
@@T0rche if he is not sure, if he makes it in time to puck, he should not risk it. It's goalie fault, if he going to be checked. In most of the cases, they were provocateurs. They even didn't check surrounding. They've played victims perfectly.
@@T0rche dude, when you are full speed, you count on it, that ice is eighter empty, or if someone is there, you can bodycheck him, with that speed. If goalie makes player from himself, and going there, player can use him as obstacle to slow down.
Hasek is a legend. What a dude. He would have gladly fought his own fight. Hasek was probably the main goalie for the trapezoid rules concerning where a goalie can skate and play the puck. I’m from Montana and a lifelong Flyers fan but Hasek is my second favorite goalie behind Hextall. I really loved watching the Dominator.
I was hoping the Owen Nolan hit on Ed Belfour was included in this compilation. It was glorious. Belfour went ballistic after that and blew the playoff game. Nolan lived rent free in Belfour’s head that series.
That was my favorite. Belfour had lied to the Sharks about wanting to re-sign with them and took off as soon as the season ended, so it was a little payback
Half of these are having me ask “where the hell is the guy supposed to go?” Also Mike Smith flopping like a fish is wonderful lol. A couple obvious attempts at injury though. Great video!
i agree if the crash cant be avoided but goalies should be protected by rules since they have little protection against body checks and might get seriously injured and if goalies only stay in their goal it ruins the flow of a game
Not expecting to get hit as well as not being able to take hits for a goalie is really common. That's why's they shouldn't leave the crease unless there's a line shift or something else to give them time to play the puck however they need to. A lot of these guys were also looking to draw penalties. They really need to rework the rules in this aspect. Goalies are getting too courageous and confident with coming out of the crease and not expecting hits but still somehow expecting to draw penalties if they do get contested. They're really turning goalies into divas by allowing them to play aggressively but not allowing the same in return for the opposing team.
@charleynewman4783 ??? Bro I can't tell if you're trying to say they should be or they actually are? It's literally in the rulebook that even out of the crease a goalie is not "fair game"
Never understood why goalies got a free pass. As a winger, I would forecheck on a D man, and if the opportunity came; lay a body on him. If the tender is going to come charging 20 feet out of his net to play D, why can’t I lay him out too? Don’t wanna get hit? Stay in your crease.
I have a great one saved from the 1991 Playoffs. Petr Klima hits Jon Casey who was playing the puck behind his net. Casey takes the hit, still makes a pass, and the North Stars breakout the other way. Nobody was fazed. When the goalies didn’t go down, hits were fair game outside the crease. They laid them too!
@@DeltaHighlights I've never seen an age restriction on hockey fights so I firmly believe you were being too cautious. Make the same video with the fighting included now since you already made money off of this one.
One of the best things I like about hockey is how the other players come to the aid of the goalie if the other team ever messes with them. They don’t have much fighting chances due to all the pads so it makes sense they come help out
I'm a little surprised with some of those newer ones where the goalie was in his trapezoid and got a hit that would be dangerous on anyone to cause an ejection from the game and the teammates were fairly passive about serving justice.
If the goalie leaves the c4ease to play the puck, he is- and should be considered as - an active player. Hits on the goalie should just be - at that point - just "another day on the ices."
A few of those looked worse than they really were. Helmets came flying off real easy. Soccer players would be proud. You play the puck, you might get hit. The ones where his back is turned, those are definitely penalties. Some of the ones where the goalie is out on the side boards with his head up ice....yeah, you're just an extra defenseman with a ton of extra padding on.
Unfortunately I had to cut many of the clips short to avoid age-restriction issues. There were quite a few fights I had to exclude, so if you want the links to any let me know!

Well in some of the cases, if the goalie wants to play the puck as a player then he should run the possibility of getting hit

mike smith is a target
😂😂😂
mike smith acting like he’s in a 10 meter spring board contest
I like how almost every announcer’s reaction is basically “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!” lol
3:36 This whole sequence is too satisfying
Hasek is a legend. What a dude. He would have gladly fought his own fight. Hasek was probably the main goalie for the trapezoid rules concerning where a goalie can skate and play the puck. I’m from Montana and a lifelong Flyers fan but Hasek is my second favorite goalie behind Hextall. I really loved watching the Dominator.
Hasek was a great goalie but it was definitely Brodeur that caused the trapezoid rules.
2:44 This announcer summed up clearly what you do if someone hits your goalie
Moral of the story, don't leave the crease if you don't want to get folded
Yup, some guys will take the penalty and fight just to remind you of that.
Damn! Mike Smith with 4 or 5 Oscar wins in this video. Impressive.
This is the first time Ive seen someone get it right for when to say that
1:33 really reminded me how awkward covid hockey was
Ahh the old Rock 'em Sock 'em vids
I was hoping the Owen Nolan hit on Ed Belfour was included in this compilation. It was glorious. Belfour went ballistic after that and blew the playoff game. Nolan lived rent free in Belfour’s head that series.
That was my favorite. Belfour had lied to the Sharks about wanting to re-sign with them and took off as soon as the season ended, so it was a little payback
Was my favourite too..well executed
Loved seeing that hit every time. Nolan was a beast of a player.
When goalies come that far out of the crease they are fair game in my book.
Half of these are having me ask “where the hell is the guy supposed to go?” Also Mike Smith flopping like a fish is wonderful lol. A couple obvious attempts at injury though. Great video!
There was no dive like Hashak though that had me laughing pretty good
Mike Smith was just taking beatings💀
I’m one of those few who thinks if the goalie leaves the crease he’s fair game.
i agree if the crash cant be avoided but goalies should be protected by rules since they have little protection against body checks and might get seriously injured and if goalies only stay in their goal it ruins the flow of a game
Man half of these goalies didn't even try to move out of the way and just take the hit
yeah goalies shouldn’t expect to get hit lmao
Because they get penalized
Not expecting to get hit as well as not being able to take hits for a goalie is really common.

Darn, that are some heavy hits!!!!
@4:00 best commentator of all time. Miss those days, damn
Dear goalies, stay in your net. There should be a rule that if a goalie comes out to play the puck, they’re fair game just like any other player.
Clean hits
I think if a goalie leaves the crease, he’s fair game. They have the most equipment on, they can take a hit.
Cool hits
The soccer players of hockey
LOL, the Mike Smith Flops were a great addition.
Nice clean hits :)
I mean… if you don’t wanna get hit. Stay in the crease
Goalies are allowed to get hit anyway

Love these videos
Some of those hits were insane!
Holy geez, Smith with the dives.
I will say this. Mike Smith is one of the strongest goaltenders in the NHL right now. Well built, tall and not afraid to mix it up.
Then why is he flopping like a European soccer player?
Montreal players were gutless on that Kassian hit. They just stood there in front of kassian and asked for his autograph
This was Ducharme’s team. It would’ve never happened under St. Louis.
Crazy year and embarassed to be a Habs fan after that. Im happy Petry (one of the only vets on the ice) who did nothing is no longer a Hab.

To prevent injuries and so he can’t the puck easier
Sometimes I think goalies should be allowed to be hit
I think the hit on Ryan Miller should have been legal
If they leave the crease absolutely should be fair game
no if you ever played goalie you would realise how little protection they have
@@chemist9895 then they shouldn’t initiate contact with players
@@DDG683 I agree if they come out to the boards then they shouldn’t be invincible.

So many head hits
And so many helmets falling off, not even tightened aswell...
1:25 bro if Miller actually hit Lucic with that 360 stick swing I don’t think buddy would have a leg
Looked like it would slash his neck if he was closer, or just hit the chest protector
