  1. Please don't say that's dirty. It was close to the head, but that happens when your head's down. Don't know if he left his feet, can't tell, but didn't look like it. Get well Rusty.

  2. It's not dirty.. I get the reason for the hit.. but I still don't like it for some reason. I'm a Panthers fan so no bias

  3. Best defenceman to ever play, crazy that we are seeing it live we can tell the next generation all about the great phaneuf!

  4. pretty amazing how rust goes to the dressing room on a hit like that but the hit on Crosby and him going into the boards wasn't even looked at. How interesting.

  5. You'd expect NHL players to keep their damn heads up. Most of the hits I've been seeing lately are purely because they are too busy looking at the damn ground

  6. Sens trapping it up, Phaneuf laying big hits… Pretty sure this is the New Jersey Devils…

  7. Realtime looked ok, but replay with Phaneuf jumping up makes it dirty. Phaneuf could get a 1 game suspension but that is not likely.

  8. Scott Stevens hit Kozlov in the 1995 SCF in almost the exact same spot in the exact same way. This was clean. I'm a Devils fan, but I can admit a lot of Scott Steven's hits would not be legal today.

  9. His brain is being knocked around in his skull on that one. stupid pass by that idiot Crosby. Throws the puck to a guy who is going full speed into two defenders. Has to end like this. Devestating hit. Dangerous as heck.
