Dirtiest hit you've ever seen by a Leaf player

[indigobuffalo]

Worst hit by a Leafs player? Maybe in the 1994 conference semi-finals, game 7, where Sylvain Lefebvre shot the puck with seconds left in what was then a 4-1 Leafs win, and hit Peter Zezel in the chest, then had the puck tricke in past a stunned Felix Potvin, making the final score 4-2.

There's a good write-up on DGB here.

Dirtiest hit? Probably the Domi hit on Niedermayer.

Domi on Nieds takes it. I still remember Stevens going crazy sitting in the penalty box.

Alfy on Tucker is one that I'll never forget.

Domi's elbow on Niedermayer

Not only because it was dirty but basically it pissed off NJ so much Toronto didn't touch the puck for the rest of the series, didn't Toronto only get like 30 total shots for the entire series after that hit. If the Havlat hit turned momentum to Toronto when Ottawa was gaining steam, the Neids hit reversed it as Toronto was handling NJ pretty well in that series.

Mark Bell nailing Alfie was a nasty one.

No wait... It was clean

There were a lot of hits thrown by Clarke that would be considered dirty by today's standard.

Hands down Domi on Neids.

OT: Tucker was the only player to nail Chara and knock him down. I don't remember Chara acting so tough when Pat Quinn was our coach. I so love Carlyle and just want to drink my self to forget the Maurice and Wilson era.

The context for the Roberts hit on Jonsson was Webb running around and jumping at guys all series long.

At Islander home games at least.

Remember when Nolan beat him up, hilarious.

 

[Bedards Dad]

How about Mark Bell on Alfy? It was pretty bad.

That was one of the best hits of all time!

 

[Damisoph]

Tie Domi on Scott Niedermayer. Although that can't really be classified as a "hit".

Would also rank #1 on the dumbest thing I've ever seen done by a Leaf.

The best answers are named aready in this thread with the Tucker, Domi and Bell answers.

Most of the dirty ones I can think of have already been listed in this thread. I will, however, contribute one of my favorite Leafs hits:

 

[zeke]

I think Hollweg had like the top-10 dirty leaf hits of all time.

 

[zeke]

of course, there's this one:

 

[ShortSideFlick]

It's not a hit... but I feel like this belongs in this thread anyway

 

[zeke]

not a hit, but dirtiest play ever:

 

[ACC1224]

I think Hollweg had like the top-10 dirty leaf hits of all time.

Forgot about that guy, he was brutal.
How did he become a Leaf again?

 

[zeke]

cliff gave up a decent pick or two for him, just to watch him be a horrible steve webb clone.

 

[ACC1224]

cliff gave up a decent pick or two for him, just to watch him be a horrible steve webb clone.

Considering Fletchers reign of dysfunction that may have been one of his better moves.

 

[mccabe2424]

Tie Domi and Scott Niedermayer worst part was I think we fueld the devils fire and it cause us to lose the series

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz14]

At Islander home games at least.

Remember when Nolan beat him up, hilarious.

Roberts, Tucker and Nolan as a line...nice....

 

[Darcy Tucker]

is there any video of this hollweg stuff? i mean didnt he only play like 20 games for us?

 

[blue82]

not so much a hit but i will nominate nick kypreos for taking out grant fuhr in the playoffs since dirty is in the topic..i do agree that domi's elbow takes the cake but this one is worth mentioning

 

[Pyrophorus]

Best clean hit is tie between Clark on Bell, and McCreary on Gretzky

Just becuase of who he is, Clark on Marc Bergevin, and the Hawks fans going...oooooooo!

Dirty, some career enders, Not Grabo on Pronger, but Berard on G. Courtnall
