was just about to say the same thing. Its obviously hindsight and no one in their right mind would sound so excited had they known back then but a bit awkward to watch now.

Especially from a clown like Joe bowen.

With hindsight we know it was awkward to call. But at the time it was an insane hit, I wouldn’t be surprised if the announcer got excited about a huge hit like that in the moment.

yeah glad that annoucer is no part of Todays NHL

I didn't even show the part of Dion Phaneuf's Dad smiling and being congratulated for the hit

That & all the concussions that resulted

Also Pat Peake.

Actually, it was THE reason to use it.

That was painful to watch

What is the rule?

On the other hand, these guys achieved their dream. Thousands and thousands of people work just has hard to be stuck in the minors for years barely scraping by. They made it to the show.

It's a reminder why the league should probably have financial advisors for every team to make sure the players are making the best use of the money they have, because you never know when your career could suddenly end from a freak stroke of bad luck. Sad to see how some former players are really struggling financially and mentally post-career

Exactly. He had a broken neck too

brought it on himself purposely blowing out naslund's knee

that does not equate to a cheapshot that breaks his neck and makes him have to never play in the NHL ever again. There is no justifying how awful that was.@@gripnsip3000

@@gripnsip3000 he didn't blow out his knee, he got elbowed and only missed 3 games due to a concussion. Where are you coming up with this blown knee BS?! Also Moore answered the bell and fought Matt Cooke and got whooped. They both served 5 and there you go, score settled. That's how the code works. Bertuzzi broke the code and took it a step further.

@@gripnsip3000and that means he deserved a career ending injury? You’re an idiot!

Oh idk probably cause they can’t do the sport they live for?

How to say you're an incel without being on a red pill channel talking about women, without saying it

​@@Knoxpurplestain👀 i wanted to know what the smol wiener incel boy said to warrant both of your responses.

@@stevenreid2571🤓

The one that bothers me the most is Steve Moore. That whole incident could have so easily been avoided if the Dan Marouelli had been bothered to rule the hit against Naslund a bad hit, or if the league had bothered to investigate it better and sanctioned Moore for it. Their lack of action against Moore for what was dubbed at the time "headhunting" is what got so many Canucks players so mad, resulting in a proverbial bounty being put out against Moore. Less than a month after the upheld bad call, Moore was targeted by Bertuzzi, who drove him face-first into the ice, fracturing 3 cervical vertebrae. Dude literally broke Moore's neck because Moore caused Naslund to chip a bone in his elbow.

For real.

In a brutal and extremely painful way too

@emma6648 very true. I watched the accident a day ago when it was released and it was honestly scary and sad to watch. I can only imagine what he was thinking during that time

You don't have to be a Pens fans to be sorry about hearing someone pass away. I don't even know why you felt the need to add that. Being a sports fan of a sports team doesn't have to turn you into a heartless thug.

@BroccoliLesnar because I wanted to state that even though I'm not a fan of theirs personally I still keep up to date with what's going on in the hockey world. Some people don't. They follow one team and that's it. Anything outside of their team is foreign to them. I follow all of them and keep up to date on every team. They aren't my favourite but I still care enough about the sport to be involved in all other teams that are apart of the league

You must be American

@@Tairygreen unsure what that has to do with anything

@@TRexAteMyGirlfriend Let me guess-- he's gonna call you "soft" next.

@econoline_crush7646 yeah I'm curious if the argument is that I'm soft because I don't think the head should be a principal contact point or that visors are a good idea in a sport of sharp blades are flying projectiles

@@TRexAteMyGirlfriend I personally don't understand why the NHL doesn't use full facemasks like the NCAA, like clear ones. It would prevent so many injuries...

Moore actually got a concussion along side the neck injury. The concussion symptoms is what caused him to not play again. Contrary to what was said, Moore's neck didn't break, but he did suffer three fractured neck vertebrae.

@@kgunitkeese17 a fracture is literally the definition of a break, medically speaking. The medical jargon "three fractured neck vertebrae" would be to most, colloquially, a "broken neck". Fracture is just another word for broken bone.

@@kgunitkeese17 jfc what do you think is the difference between a break and a fracture?

@@kgunitkeese17 Do you think there's an actual neck bone in the human body or something?! "He didn't break his neck, but he did fracture several neck bones." Go home, you're drunk. LMAO

Yeah that dude got paralysed... Bertuzzi should'nt have ever played after this

god bless the mule, and i say that as a penguins fan

Does he have severe post concussion symptoms? I remember Marc Savard in an interview talking about how difficult it’s been as well

I'm afraid so :(@@justinhunt8409

@@justinhunt8409 Yes, really bad. I can't find that video anymore. There is one in his language if you search his name and add "depression" in there.

unless you're a bruin

Yes, technically it was post concussion syndrome that ended his career. He did suffer some vision impairment from the eye injury though, so really it was both.

Don’t like him? Don’t listen.

the only people that can bare to listen to him are the braindead boston fans that are just as delusional as jack@@johnochiltree1170

What happened to him?

​@@davidkelly5585Bryan Little suffered a peforated ear and a concussion since the shot hit him right in the ear.

thats how concussions work. One concussion often leads to another, to another, the damage is done and then one day even a small impact is all that is needed. Especially with older players when the usual "cure" was to walk it off, clear your head and be ready for the next shift. I´m glad that today the league gives players time to heal, but there is no real healing from a concussion

​@@khorgorAs DJ Khaled so eloquently put it, "Another one"

Don't forget Rich Peverly who fucking *DIED* on the bench and wanted to come back in.

​@@AJEDDY97jirri Fisher too

Tom Wilson; top 3 shitbags in the league right now. Could make an argument for number 1..

That was like three years ago.

Bruh don’t do that

@@jacksonbarry5407 Stammer came back and was still a good player but he was never a top 5 player ever again. I think Dach being a consistent 50-60 points guy is being optimistic. If not for the injury I think he couldve had 70-80 points in his prime

Don’t jinx anything 😑

The one at 3:02 really bothers me because you can literally hear the room go quiet besides his screams of pain echoing… just an awful way to have your career ended

Yep. I don’t know his name but I know who your talking about

If he played nearly a full season afterwards I'd hardly call it career ending

I think u have like 3 4 seconds after u pass the puck someone can hit u, after that u can get a penalty. they’re just following through on their hits. I could be wrong tho.

Fantastic isn’t it? Remains one of the very best hits. Shame the dude wasn’t wearing his helmet properly though

Nope, that was Savard’s last shift in the NHL. Check his game logs.

@@DeltaHighlights okay good to know. I thought Cooke's hit was the last one, but I guess I was wrong

Fractured orbital bone, along with lingering concussion issues.

Did he really die???

@@sammiehogg4862 yes

Hahahaha nice

@@sammiehogg4862 bro what??

Chicken butt

Bertuzzi should’ve been banned for life for that…in a sport they allow u to fight if u got beef, that’s unacceptable and a bitch move

He could have fought or not cheap shotted Naslund for starters. Couple great things right there. Fuck Bertuzzi though.

And then Vancouver scored when the refs didn’t blow the whistle… That’s ok, Avs got justice in OT

@@loganmclarry oh trust me I remember lol I was at that game. And Moser going Justice is served was amazing lol

​​@@jakeheerwagen8007I was watching that live. All the Avs screamed for a whistle, even Petterson was like, "You gonna stop the whistle like a decent human would? No? Wtf?"

@@lelouchvibritannia4028 that was me in the stands 😂 and I see them blow things down like right away and man I wasn’t very happy at all lol but eh we won and it was on my moms birthday as well

I used an interview he had as reference. I’m not 100% for sure, but it seemed like his neck wasn’t the factor for his career ending injury. He said he was still getting post-concussion syndrome affects as of today.

Clint Malarchuk comes to mind

@@benjamingreever5235And Adam Johnson who passed on the weekend because of getting a skate blade to the neck in the EIHL

Draper played 20 years in the NHL, Berard and Malarchuk continued playing after their career changing injuries.

@@DeltaHighlights ok, understand

Berard still played after and Beukeboom played more games after too

Yeah but his his leg couldn't stand playing anymore after that

This was mostly older players who were near the end of their careers or had a lot of previous concussions. If I was in the NHL and considering retirement in a few years and got a severe concussion I would probably just say I’m done and play mens league
