  1. Def wasn't boarding? I like Phaneuf, but he knew exactly where they were headed: into the boards And I still think it was a good intention hit, what can you say he's a hitter, but that was dangerous (violent). And that's what the ruling is there for, precaution for dangerous plays.

  2. if I was Purcell on that shift, would've been hard for me not crush my hockey stick on phaneufs face and stab him with the broken part of it after, and my carrer would've been ended in jail loll

  3. Who cares if it was clean. No respect for other players. Was it really necessary to destroy the guy on that play ?

  4. It's pretty sad that the players felt the need to lay hits like this on an icing play. Kopitar pulls up and gives Phaneuf the icing but he doesn't take it and instead goes for the hit. It's because the players choose to go for big unnecessary hits like this that we now have the hybrid icing. If the players didn't treat icing like they are in EA's NHL, then the rule wouldn't be needed but because they do it is.. 

  5. What Phaneuf is garbage it was a race for the icing and he destroy Kopitar when he didn't have the puck

  6. What surprised me most about this hit is Phaneufs speed, he does get beat by kopitar, but I swear currently he would have been a step or two behind

  7. What's nice is to see is the flames player in the last reply trying to keep everyone away from piling on Kopitar 

  8. I love how when a team mate is hurt their first reaction to to pile around him with sharp fucking skates on their feet. Drag the player away and then scrum holy fuck.

  9. Props to Kopitar for knowing that douche was behind him, and turning around in an attempt to protect himself. It could have been much worse if he was hit from behind into the boards.

  10. if kopitar didnt put his arm out to touch phaneuf it wouldnt have been such an awkward hit. mans tryna push over phaneuf u nuts jus skate to the puck and beat him

  11. It's amazing that Kopitar and Phaneuf are playing together and Sean ODonnell is a commentator for the Kings. I wonder if they ever have talked about this hit? GKG
