Most blatant intent to injure a goalie ever?

[cowboy82nd]

If that was true Price wouldn't have been seriously hurt.

Sorry, have to ask. So people never been seriously hurt on accident? Someone can only be seriously hurt on purpose?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I see nothing wrong with this one. You come out to get the puck that far out while a player is barrelling down the ice, you better be ready for contact.

 

[PaulD]

Kypreos on Fuhr.

Yep.

Most intentional one I can remember.

Wasn’t Price like the third goalie he’d done that to?

I believe so. Fluery was one of the others

 

[PaulD]

I’m a leaf fan, I watched the guy who invented the can opener. Not seeing that there. I see Markov making a swing and his shaft bends, he didn’t miraculously thread a needle with his stick, otherwise you would see his stick in front of his left leg.

I wasn't Markov. It's was Emelin.
And he ran a lot of players into his own goalie over the years.

 

[Cheapshot]

Goalie gets run… Chris Kreider thread.

 

[PaulD]

Why do Habs fans pretend Kreider wasn't tripped?

It's been over 10 years ffs

Lots of us know Emelin tripped Krieder.
Price knows it.
Truth be told Emelin was known for knocking opposiing players into his own goalie. The guy was a wrecking ball

Ignoring for a moment that goalies aren't eligible to be intentionally hit and for very good reasons, that was a charge.

Other than the rules sure...

This thread lacks the real best example when Hedman wanted Vasilevsky to take over already

 

[JoVel]

My question is why did his right leg (the primary point of contact) go forward and not backward?

Well, it didn't. His right leg did go backwards. He was slashed in his right leg right as he was shifting his balance to his left leg to make a shot. It's why he doesn't trip forwards, but the slash is just enough to shift his balance backwards so that he falls legs first into Price.

It would be more believable if he didn’t take a run at Fleury that year and take out Craig Anderson the year before. He also had a similar potential dangerous situation with Rask in that time frame. The guy was running goalies.

Yeah, wow, this one is really, really blatant. Maybe the most blatant I've ever seen (in nearly 40 years). The mitigrating point, though, is that he just gave the goalie a "love tap" into the crossbar. It's not like he hit him full speed or anything. An obvious penalty and maybe a short suspension, at most. (I'm assuming the goalie isn't injured.)

The Chris Kreider one is too close to call, so no sense getting passionate about it one way or the other. He's clearly interfered with while chasing down a loose puck with an eye on scoring -- he may or may not have tried to avoid Price, but in any case he was chasing a loose puck trying to score.

I've never had any issue with what Lucic did to Ryan Miller. Sure, he could have tried harder to avoid him, but Miller is, like, 20 feet outside the crease. In that condition, he's fair game as I see it.

But yeah, this is a weird one where the goalie could not be more inside the crease, and the where the skater is completley unmolested and crashes into the goalie for no conceivable reason whatsoever other than to hit him.

Maybe a worse one I recall was when L.A. was losing a playoff game to Edmonton about 6-0, in 1990, and with one minute left Marty McSorley ran over Bill Ranford.

 

[37Bergenov14]

The most obvious.. 2004 playoffs Ville Nieminne hit on Curtis Joseph.

Finally, one that is actually in the same wheelhouse. Everything else in this thread at least happened while the player was ostensibly making a play of some sort. This and the OP are blatantly outside of any attempt at a hockey play.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Came for the Kreider debate. Wasn't disappointed.

Most obvious choice was to be picked early

 

[TrufleShufle]

If that is the most blatant ever, goalies have had it super easy all this time. Puck battles that happen 20 times a game have more aggression and force than that, don't even mention actual checks. But I forget that goalies outside of all the extra padding are essentially this dude.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

retribution play in Harpur's mind.

I actually respect that then. Player injured him. Go right back at them.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Kypreos on Fuhr.

Totally forgot about that. The most accidental-on-purpose injury ever.

Goalies are NEVER fair game.

 

[CascadiaPuck]

Don’t know if you’d call it intent to injure but it was definitely a very intentional hit on a goalie when Hordichuk lined up Turco.

 

[Sanderson]

I actually respect that then. Player injured him. Go right back at them.

You respect that? Seriously?

He got injured on accidental contact while the goalie did his job and tried to prevent a goal. It was pure coincidence that he got hurt on the play. To take that and purposefully injure a goalie to get "revenge" on a play that had nothing to do with the ongoing game, is about as low and without respect as it gets. Someone who shows such a disgraceful behaviour has no business being part of the game.

Kreider Kadri Kypreos. The unholy alliance of goalie injurers.

 

[Sadekuuro]

Cam Janssen hit Price a lot more deliberately than Kreider did

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one.

Okay, I've now seen TWO that blatant...

 

[Number8]

Easy f***ing answer







Kreider dropkicking Price's knee




Kreider is a POS, in the past, now and forever

You didn't watch your own video past the 28th second, did you?

It's ok. We all screw up now and again.

You guys are missing the clear winner:

Softness is ruining the game.

THAT is how you discipline your goalie for not making the key save. However, try that today and somehow you are a psychopath.

 

[White Out 902]

The most obvious.. 2004 playoffs Ville Nieminne hit on Curtis Joseph.

This is the only correct answer, and it's completely wild that it took until page 4 to get to this video.
