  1. Watch the slowmo, this guy specializes in hard hits, but this one He plants his left skate firm while not just moving his right knee forward but driving it up, literally lifting Kotka off the ice, He uses his body/arms to stop Kotka forward, once the feet are off the ground then pushes him back, all very quick in real time, but precision execution. The intent was to turn him upside down. Whether he intended to injure a player by rotating him and dumping someone weighing 200+ pounds on their head, who knows. The result of such a maneuver has a high probability of injury, including the possibility of permanent paralysis or even death. You may scoff at that, but if you take someone and quickly rotate their body dumping them on their head, breaking their neck will be a guaranteed outcome a percentage of the time.

  2. где тут грязь??? (О_О) ни в голову,ни по колену,ни локтём в голову,ни подножки…чё так возбудились в Монреале?такого же дэфа хотите? вон Чара почти убил Пачьёретти,между прочим,когда тот в Монреале был…никто не охотился за этой словацкой мразью,даже дисквалы не просил…а фин просто упал неудачно…

  3. Ladyes,girls,are you want a figure skating? 😉 when CHARA-bitch kiil Pacioretty(2011) you are don't say anything and now shut up 😉

  4. Ахахаха красава Никита!!! В хоккей играют Мужики канадцы то должны это понимать!!!

  5. This is the definition of a slew foot – he should be suspended. Pushing backward while kicking the legs out from behind. I love hard hitting hockey – but that is a DIRTY PLAY.

  6. Oh please. It was a light check. You have to pay attention to big powerful defensemen like that… hes simply trying to separate body and puck
    He doesnt make contact with the right leg.. that's a common maneuver.

  7. Not a slew foot per se, but let's not split hairs. Let's call it a "slew knee". Watch Z's right knee during the slow motion. He pushes it into the back of K's leg, making him flip over. Dirty. I'd be sending my enforcers after him. You can't let shit like that slide.

  8. Оставьте балет в покое,Никита играет жестко но в пределах правил!давно в России не было такого защитника😄

  9. I hate to see someone get hurt but that was a clean hit. Big Z doesn't sweep the guys legs or kick his skate out. Just an unfortunate circumstance, nothing malicious.

  10. He deserves a suspension for sure. Try that sh*t on someone his own size like Nic Deslauriers….. picking on the little guy!!! Where the hell was retaliation? Montreal is sorry!! I like KK too.

  11. Why do they get an immediate whistle but when the Avs player Calvert takes a puck to the face and is on the ice bleeding there's no whistle?

  12. the Jadorov Hit that's not even show in the highlights because how controversial it was!! IT was a late hit on a player in a vulnerable position that was CLEARLY in violation of the slew foot rule!
    slew foot rule 52.1
    A player using his leg or foot to knock or kick an opponent’s feet from under him, or pushes an opponent’s upper body backward with an arm or elbow, and at the same time with a forward motion of his leg, knocks or kicks the opponent’s feet from under him, causing him to fall violently to the ice.
    This is a Clear Violation, but no call, no suspension review, yet Kotkaniemi will be out for 3+ games with a Concussion
    Paul Byron's multiple game suspension was nothing compared to this!!
    Pure Grade A Bullsh1t!!
