Hey guys I'll make a part 2 soon, so let me know what to include! Also which hit do you think was the dirtiest? (I didn’t include the Todd Bertuzzi sucker punch because this video was only of dirty body checks)

its so insane that matt cooke got away with injuring so many people. absolute disgrace

Matt Cooke is a such a disgrace to the game. Despite the fact Keith's hit on him was dirty, I don't think anyone felt bad for him. You reap what you sow.

Modano getting dropped at 6:58 has some attitude era WWF vibes going on, even the announcer "can't believe we just saw that" of course Modano got quite the payday in that lawsuit lol

How Dale Hunter was allowed back in the league is beyond me. That hit after Turton scored was one of the worst ever because the play is dead after a goal and he went head hunting. When the Caps hired him as a coach I wanted blood.

The fact that Cooke was allowed to play in the NHL for such a long time is honestly just depressing, especially seeing him with a letter on his jersey as if that guy was some kind of role model to look up to.

Love the comradery at 8:55, the way his two teammates turned immediately at exactly the same time, thinking exactly the same thing "Ima fuck this guy up!"

2:38 that is terrifying. look at how close those skates were to his neck.

Thank you for putting this together! I think it clearly shows you have three types of players: 1. Players who make bad choices, or just make an unfortunate hit at an inopportune time. 2. Decent players who make repeated bad choices, like Marchand, Tom Wilson & Kadri, but all of these guys have showed that a player can mature and start making better decisions. I especially despise Wilson for some of his worst hits, but in discussions, I have always said he does not need to play like that, he really has talent, and he showed some of that in the Caps recent playoff run. I suppose you could say the same for Marchand and Kadri as far as talent. 3. Predatory hitters: Scott Stevens, Matt Cooke, Ty Domi, Claude Lemeiux, Brian? Marchment, and I am sure I missed and forgot some. I honestly do not care that the NHL had no rules to specifically protect players; Scott Stevens and Matt Cooke clearly displayed serial predatory behavior, and seemingly enjoyed injuring opponents. Full disclosure: I am a Bruins fan, and I do like Marchand; however, I never liked when Brad made stupid choices, especially when it could/did injure someone. Those are just dumb, selfish actions that almost always hurt one's own team.

Will forever respect Keith for dropping Cooke like that , one of the only ones who deserve that kind of hit

8:55 two teammates watch the cheap shot and immediately turn away from the play and go after the thug. We all need friends like them!

Curious how many of these players had to retire after these hits? Some of them look so damn brutal that they had to have long term issues. I think 15:30 is the hit that ended Cam Neely's career.

2:35 love the way teammates defend and protect each other

The fact that Cooke wore an A in Pittsburgh is such a joke.

Dale Hunter was one of the dirtiest players ever. Hits on Turgeon and Murphy were among the most cowardly in the NHL history.

1:09 crazy how one hit created one of the most iconic rivalries in hockey

Most of Scott Stevens' hits in today's game would be suspendable.

7:00 The cheapest shot was from the paramedic who drop the already injured player on the ground !! LMAO

Matt Cooke is a criminal. Was happy to see Duncan Keith put a dirty hit on Cooke, although Keith too had a couple features here as well. Awesome video.

3:00 Downie is currently sitting in Jamaica undergoing Magic Mushroom treatment for the years of Concussion, Anger, and drug abuse he went through as an enforcer. After seeing what he did in the NHL, it’s cathartic watching him break down in tears.

The worst for me is the Chara one where he decapitated the guy on the box glass. Second is the cross-check to the neck straight in to the edge og the box. Both looks like intent to kill

The paramedics knocking the stretcher over while transferring mike modabo gave me a chuckle lol

As a penguins fan, I’d like to apologise for Matt Cooke. Even for his dirty hits against the bruins.

I mistakenly hit someone from behind once when I was pretty young, Buddy turned at the last second and I didn’t have the reaction time to correct myself, I was shook. Seeing hits like these give me the chills because it’s really no joke.

that jake evans hit could've killed him, literally. he was knocked cold and i saw it happen on tv. I will never forget that

Nah that medic didn’t just drop that dude on the ground 😂

Yeah…always a good idea to “defend” your teammate who received a cheap shot by starting a fight over his unconscious body!

I`m from the UK, grew up in the 70`s;......this is the sport I most regret never having the chance to play. These are some tough moments but there is NO team sport (without a net in the middle) that doesn`t experience moments like this.

im glad to see the scott stevens on lindros hit was in here, that one basically was the start of the end of his career. I was fuming. But also the hit Lindros had on Andreas Dakyl (or however it's spelled)...that one deserved to be on here as well.

“Frankly I don’t even know if Marchand was aware of Johansson” As he reaches out with his elbow

Didn't mind seeing the Keith hit on Cooke

We were at Sens game when Dean McHammond got rocked, scary stuff…

What Kariya could have become is so depressing. He would dominate in todays game. Man was ahead of his time.

4:58 Max Pacioretty Is lucky to still be playing after that hit, as that hit into the stanchion fractured his C4 Vertebra.

I fully expected this to just be a Brad Marchand compilation tbh.

7:00 talk about a bad day at work! 😅 I remember a clip from an old VHS of classic sport fights where some ice hockey player with a mullet had his stick taken off him by a man in the crowd, so he went into the crowd to fight the guy 😅. No idea of the teams but I think it was a US match.

As a rugby fan and former player, we put so much emphasis on head contact in our sport nowadays, some of these hits make us look like school kids in a slapping contest.

2:44 god damn that guy almost stepped on his head with skates

I just finished watching Goon for the first time. Amazing film! I had no idea Ice Hockey was this violent!!!… It’s mad entertaining though. Those players are brave!

That last hit on Lindros was the hit that ended his career, I remember watching this live on TV

When guys like Tom Wilson, Matt Cooke, Raffi Torres, Dale Hunter get what they have coming you don’t shed a tear.

Jesus steve downey deserved prison for that. Hard to watch a guy do a flying jumping elbow attack blindside from behind. Other guy looked dead

As a bruins fan, I have no idea why I watched this. But I wasn’t ready for the pure heartbreak of horton and savard less than 2 minutes in

I was at the Bruins Pens game when Matt Cooke made that hit. As a Pens fan, the rest of the game was really uncomfortable in the stands, to say the least

Pierre Turgeon was never the same player after that hit (shoulder never fully healed). The hit also cost the Islanders as they lost their best player, next playoff round, and super star player for multiple years. He had 58 goads and 74 assists that year (career highs by far), continues play for 13 more years, averaging 22.8 goals per year. Prior to the hit he averages 36 goals per season (6).

Alternate Title: Matt Cooke and Raffi Torres being themselves for 16 minutes.

I don’t know hardly anything about hockey, but I remember seeing a dude crack a guy in the back of the head with his stick one time. That’s gotta be the dirtiest shit I’ve ever seen. Enjoyed the video!

I got love that this type of hits don't result in multiple year suspensions....

I've watched and played hockey for years. I love the sport. With that said...there is absolutely no place in the game for a dirty hit. The rule should be changed. If a player misses games due to a dirty hit...the b***h that caused the injury shall miss the same amount of time. Keep the game fast, competitive, physical and clean.

Matt petgrave takes the cake

That first hit was the same hit that ended my hockey career. I got hit from behind after a full extension for a slap shot, twisted me even more and tore muscles and ligaments in my spine.

So sad to see so many guys careers cut short by obvious penalties. I know it was a different time but holy fuck the blatant disregard for the after effects of head trauma is depressing to come to terms with so many years later.

I got goosebumps when I saw the hit on Nathan Horton. I remember watching that game so clearly as a kid, I will never forget that hit.

4:55 I’m sure that many people to this day say Chara knew exactly what he was doing

expected this to be a matt cook highlight tape lol

There's a difference between a hard hit when you catch someone lacking, and a dirty hit. Happens quick

When Keith hit Matt Cooke at 7:15 there’s no one more deserving of a cheap shot😂

Hot take: the Steve Moore hit on Naslund wasn't that bad. Certainly not deserving of what came after it

The amount of headshots is just devastating, it really curls my toes and I’m good with this type of stuff

7:00 the definition of adding insult to injury

God, that Medano drop is so depressing.

George Jones was my father's favorite musician, and it's funny to me because now I'm in my 40s I find myself listening to him more and more.

Coming from Oz I bloody love it mate, and it's all fair bump play on or punch on for a bit, just like rugby or AFL over here have a look at the dirtiest bumps in AFL especially the late 80's early 90s 😂😂😂😂, but that's why they get the coin 👍👍👍

Need more hits like this.

15:51 MAD props to ehlers for blocking the huge fight from getting any closer to evans

One aspect I've always lived by in ice hockey is that some people deserve everything they get as far as retaliation. When asked in later years if I'd want to be a ref, my answer was/is: "No. I'm never objective."

"Daddy, why are there no people at some of the games?" "They were Gary Little Napoleon Bettman Appreciation Nights, daughter. Nobody went."

I remember that hit on Maltby like it was yesterday. It lead to one of the greatest games in hockey. Fight Night at the Joe Wings vs. Avs

2:35 smh, I'll never respect players who decide to pileup a fight next to an injured player down on the ice.

Thank you for adding the part where the EMTs dropped Modano. That’s was so wrong but so funny.

1st marchand hit was a nasty hip check 2nd one was him trying to capitalize on the chaos and land a dirty elbow

Keep ya head up!!!

12:29 absolutely heart wrenching

fun fact after the draper hit my grandma took care of him in hospital

It’s werid how the players get put on a stretcher but like Adam Johnson didn’t get put on a stretcher

It scares the hell out of me when I see anyone go into the fencing response after being hit. This is the reaction your body takes to protect itself during a serious brain injury and most people have serious lifelong cognitive health problems after these injuries😢

12:27 Already making him run then you hit the poor bastard from behind with the stretcher.

That hit Keith gave Matt Cooke was well deserving

The kadri one on tommy wingles was just discraceful

Some of these should be classified as assault...

My one question about all these dirty hits is this...I only played the Sunday night pick up games after coaching my sons youth games. That being said, how can you actually defend your teammate when they leveled such a sicking hit as shown in these videos. I'm all for a nice body check here and there but if I had a teammate like a COOKE I'd be jumping the pile to pound on him also!

Pierre Turgon was a beauty, and an NHL92 great. That hit by Hunter came after a playoff series winning goal, and Hunter was upset they lost. Turgeon was injured well into the following season if my memory is correct. Blind side a guy after the game is over because he scored, so dirty.

C'est le hockey du moment qu'il revienne en forme 💪🏼 nous sommes des survivants 💪🏼

4:57 I don't really see that as dirty. That hit 98% anywhere else on the board and it's a standard check.

"There's a Devils player who fell all by himself". Lol

3:40 "Turgeon scores!" *5s later.* "Uh oh."

I’m noticing a theme here: Player gets injured Everyone starts fighting

I had the chance to talk to Niklas Hjalmarsson about the hit on Jason Pominville. He said he didn’t know who had the puck, still no right to hit him from behind though

7:00 just left me with my jaw on the floor

That Downie hit on Mccammond was just vicious. Dude was totally out of control, especially since it was a pre-season game.

I was at the Flyers game where Marc Bureau knocked Petr Svoboda out. My first NHL game.

A lot of the older ones were legal at the time…like Scott Stevens on Paul kariya and his one on Eric Lindros. Up until 2010 it was legal to target the head. The only reason some of those hits were because of boarderline elbowing, charging, interference, hit from behind, boarding or leaving the feet. As long as you stayed low and kept your elbow tucked in, you could blindside someone’s head with your shoulder KO them with no call. There were also way more fights and line brawls. Shit used to be crazy in the nhl

lmao when they dropped modano on the stretcher. that's wrong.

I remember when that happened to Barrie. All of CO had Cooke's head on reward and were hunting for him. Never have we wanted to see another team lose a round so bad.

Dropping the stretcher with Modano on it. Wow.

Top 5 Dirtiest since 1990- 5. T Domi, 4. C Lemieux, 3.D Hunter, 2. Torres, 1. Cooke. Dishonorable mention: Bri Marchment, Marchand, Ulf Samuelson, McSorely, Wilson

Aaron Rome single handedly changed the trajectory of that cup series with that dirty hit on Horton. Boston was reinvigorated after that and never took their foot off the gas.

06:50 holy shit that's insane, hitting the ice without the helmet is ten times worse than any hit

as a lacrosse player which is kinda like hockey i have seen a lot of injuries but not as bad as this. about last year i was at a tournament that my team ended up winning, and this one team was just fouling all over the place, this one kid was on the ground for 10 minutes everyone was worried i don’t know what happened but all i know is it look intentional.

Good old time hockey, some hard checks and hits.
