Who’s The Best Hitter in the League?

[Pavels Dog]

Seider deserves a mention. Absolutely clean hitter, also has perfected the art of the reverse hit.

Zadorov by a hair over Schenn and Gudas

 

[ijuka]

Isn't this a "best hitter" poll instead of a "most blatant head hunter" poll? How's trouba getting so many votes

 

[miscs75]

The Isles scorekeeper credits him with a hit every time his skates touch the ice, come on now.

I go Gudas, but this is really a very subjective matter.

This hit alone puts him at the top:

 

[The Tourist]

Trouba has the most highlight reel hits. Schenn is near the top.

Jani Hakanpaa should be on the list and near the top of votes.

Here's another with Trouba going Bambi on ice.

Toss these two videos in with that missed elbow. Every one of them deserves more praise.

Were you planning on voting for Ovechkin?

I present to you Pascal William Clutterbuck

Does Romanov really count? Guy is barely a 6th defenseman.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

It's Zadorov, but he doesn't go for the big hit as much as he once did. Trouba wins based on quantity/frequency

 

[Golden_Jet]

Last 5 years, Brady Tkachuk followed by Gudas for most hits.
Not sure how OP defines best hitter.

 

[biturbo19]

k. But he also spent most of the season playing easy top-4, borderline Top-pairing minutes alongside their de facto #1D Dobson last year, having a big showing out party.


So that needs some reconciling...

Lmao I had to double take the title

It has to be someone who plays in the east. Posters from the east dont stay up late enough to see guys playing in the later time zones.

It's 2024. People have the internet and barely watch anything live anymore.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Sam Bennett getting overlooked here big time. Not the biggest guy, but he's arguably the best body checking top 6C in the league









Dude was running the Oilers D around throughout the entire cup final.

 

[Skolman]

Its Romanov and its not close. Keeps it clean, unlike Trouba who never threw a single clean hit in his career.

Joke of a post

Yeaaahhh all 1800+ hits in his career were all dirty. Derp. Derp.

You had 7 months to think of an answer and this is what you came up with?

Didn't realize your post was 7 months ago. Doesn't change anything though with your hyperbolic nonsense.

 

[sr edler]

Dahlin can throw big clean body-checks when he puts that side to his game.

 

[Machinehead]

It's gotta be Aaron Judge, right?

 

[SUX2BU]

Adam Lowry isn't too bad at this hitting thing .........
