Not sure why this needed a thread. He had his head up and it was -a bit- on the late side, borderline for sure. My homer eyes want to say late, but I didn't agree with the Rangers color saying it should've been a flat out penalty.
He was out on the next shift as well. This doesn't compare to the other hits he's gotten with his head down.
Listening to Joe M too much on the NYR telecast. It was a hard & clean hit IMO
Hit definitely not deserving of a thread IMO.
Anisimov hasn't been hit hard that many times this season. Maybe one other big hit that caused him to miss the rest of the game, I can't remember the incident though
It was with Matt Cooke. Brashear went to fight him and the linesman jumped in and then cally ended up fighting him later in the game
Best hit on him this year was Stuart's, clean huge, magnificent hit, too bad Anisimov was totally oblivious of the pressure and opened himself up to get blasted, and Stuart didn't even go full force and still dropped him like a sack of bricks.
i dont know much about getting hit a lot, but i sure know rosival always seems to get himself into situations where he gets hurt somehow (i dont mean injured-out-of-the-game)
I feel like if i see rosi touch the puck theres a 75% chance someone is gonna drop an anvil on his head then have a cruise boat crash the stadium and run him over...
I know it's not a big name, but Davis Drewiske routinely leaves himself open to the big hit. Lucky for him, he's a pretty big dude, but man, the amount of times the guy stays about 1 ft away from the boards...
And I think another poster already mentioned Robidas.
OP : Pacioretty has already been mentionned a few times, but yeah him. It's like he has to live to his quota of getting knocked down at least once per game.
Jack Hillen on the Isles takes a good knock around once a game. Part of it is him being on the small side, part is that he willingly takes a hit in order to make the safe play (and preserve his spot on the team by not ****ing up the play). Lately though he has found a middle ground in making a good play and absorbing/avoiding the inevitable.
I should say though, the kid can take a beating. He always bounces right up, although the hits look brutal.
how could anybody get more big hits thrown on them than Robidas i mean the dude is petitioning to have a permanent cage because his head get's destroyed every other game
We got this guy from Carolina named Niklas Nordgren a couple of years ago. Played about 15 pointless games for the Pens, awful player. Anyway, he would get blown up exactly once per shift. He'd go flying like a rag doll, too. I don't know how he got away uninjured.
