Although I don’t read the paper nearly as much as I used to, an article in yesterday’s Arizona Republic caught my eye. It was a sport’s article that was on the front page of the newspaper, something that doesn’t happen very often. At first it appeared to be an article about hockey gaining popularity in the […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK — 4-18-12
My apologies for taking a week off from this feature, but I’m sure you’ll agree that I have made up for it with this week’s hit. Most people have seen this hit by now, but only those that actually watched the game saw it at real time speed, rather than slow motion, which depicts it […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK — 4-2-12
Here’s a hit that results in a massive fight. The Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins were going at it, in what many believe to be a precursor to the opening round of the playoffs. As soon as the hit takes place, several players drop the gloves. Keep an eye on the benches, as the […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK — 3-29-12
I must warn you, this is not a pretty sight to see. Boston Bruin Zdeno Chara hits Montreal Canadien Max Pacioretty on March 9, 2011. This is a classic example of a bruiser (Chara) breaking the rules (not releasing when the puck is no longer in the opposing player’s possession) and the other player (Pacioretty) […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK — 3-21-12
Okay, here’s one for those of you that just can’t get enough of these hockey hits. It’s a full two minutes and twenty one seconds of contuous hits. Be sure to keep the sound up while you watch. The very last one is a classic example of the need to know what’s going on around […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK — 3-13-12
This week’s HHOTW is from last Tuesday’s game in Philadelphia where the Flyers were hosting the Detroit Red Wings. I must warn you, this is not a pretty hit. Detroit’s Niklas Kronwall takes out (literally) Philly’s Jakub Voracek with a viscious hit that nearly knocks him out cold. Kronwall turns just before impact in order to […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK – 3-6-12
This week, I’ve selected a hit that was a little bit different. This one led to a fight, even though it was a clean hit. The different part about it is that the guy who absorbed the hit, Alex Pietrangelo of the St. Louis Blues, got up and went back to work. The next shift change […]

HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK – 2-27-12
This is why you have to keep your head up when you’ve got the puck. Ottawa’s Chris Neil lays Boston’s Johnny Boychuk out. The thing is, Neil was visible to everyone in the building for about three full seconds to be heading toward Boychuk, who apparently was the only one in the building who didn’t […]

ANOTHER GREAT HOCKEY HIT
I thought I was doing a great service when I went out searching for that great Broooks Orpik hit that a follower to this blog had commented about. I even went so far as to perform a complete analysis of the hit. Then I posted it to share with all of you. (See “SO YOU […]

One very astute follower to this blog made note of a legal hit that was made recently in Pittsburgh (see comments to “HOCKEY — ALL STARS PART 2”). Naturally, I felt the need to see the hit he was referring to. All I can say is “Wow…those are a couple of tough athletes! I have placed […]
