and nicolas kronwall, i’d argue is the best hitter of the salary cap era.

That was satisfying.

No lol

Is OP the most 2017 onward fan of all time?

Amazing. Why don’t we see hipchecks anymore? Is it a rule change or just the pace of the game

Watched this like 3 times. Maybe 4. This is hockey 🏒🏒🏒

No

No he’s not. But those are some nice hip checks. He gets dangerously low on some but still clean.

Love the hip check. Check out Kyle McLaren hip checks for some more nasty ones

Konstantinov was up there

Kronwall was the nastiest clean hitter in my 40 years watching. Guy just instinctively knew when a winger was vulnerable.

99% sure the answer is no.

Marc, get off Reddit and go to bed. It’s late

He certainly has the ‘low bridge’ technique down.

Every time I see Methot, I think of the Crosby finger incident. I know I can’t be the only one..

From these clips, Mark seems to be the king of hip checks directly into knees.
CodAdministrative563
He lines up for a hip check quite well.

Kronwall

No but you can say he good at his time
Les_Hands
First of all, no.
Second of all, still no.
… but that was a nice compilation

Cannot believe no one mentioned Rob Blake and that dump truck of an ass he used to hip check people to death!
And no, Noone was ever methoted but they were Kronwalled! Probably the best open ice hitter the game ever saw, with Steven’s and Darius Kasperitis (sp?) a close second but far more dirty hitters.

Rob Blake could send you for a loop

Methot was a pretty big disappointment in Dallas. But looks like he was a solid hitter, too bad it was in Ottawa.

Clearly the right answer is Nick Kronwall

Darius Kasparitis would like a word.
midas282000
No
skillshock
That guy would have been good at judo

Are we talking strictly hip checks like in this video?? If so, Keith Ballard is probably right up there if not the best.
Jefflehem
He’s great at what he does, but only giving hip checks excludes him from best ever.

Not of all time but that was good.
The lost art of the hipcheck.
Nope.
No
> best hitter of all time
that’s scott stevens.
