Devils biggest Monster Hits

[Wannabe2]

Okay I need you guys to help me here, need you all to respond with the biggest hits you can remember by Devils players, plus if poss the season, then we can get a list together and see how many we can get together. So who laid the hit and on who. Please.

Stephan Cooper on Dan Dorian mid ice - an absolute cracker

 

[Martynwo]

Dougie on Plommer, classis mid-ice hit 100% clean, the "duke" kept his head down and paid for it

 

[Ejercito Rojas]

I'll never forget the hip check Kirk Dewaele threw on some unfortunate winger whose name escapes me. The forward in question ended up over the boards and upside down on the Devils bench!

As an aside, probably the best timed and bone crunching mid ice check I can remember was when the Devils played an exhibition game against Dynamo Moscow. That night John Lawless really had his 'clock cleaned' by Moscow d-man and future NHLer Darius Kasparaitis.

Stephan Cooper on Dan Dorian mid ice - an absolute cracker

I remember, it was a monster hit by Stephen Cooper. Poor old Dan Dorian was in bits on the ice. I can also still hear the crunch where Kaspiratis hit Lawless fully square on the chest. Wow that check was as clean as a whistle...text book.

Keep them coming please, Stephen Cooper laid a huge hit on Tony Hand in the WNIR by the sin bin, it nearly split his helmet the noise was huge.

Max Birbraer on Joey Talbot.

Doug McEwen on Norm Pinnington when he played for Humberside always sticks in my mind, IIRC hit him from the goal line into the boards.

Wasn't the biggest but Dougie on Rocky Saganiuk when dougie was being cahsed with the puck and he stopped dead and back checked into Rocky Saganiuk.


Also Craig Wellar on Corey Neilson in the BBT.

The Kirk Dewaele hip check was against David Kaczowka of Coventry Blaze in the 2005/06 season. There is an excellently timed photo of this - Kaczowka's skates facing the ceiling and his head facing the ice

Stephen Cooper had several. The Dorian one probably the most famous but he also threw one in Europe. I can’t recall who we were playing but the guy was laid on the ice for a while.

Doug McEwen hit a Bracknell player (I think it was) over the bench. That may have been a pre season.

Max was good for a huge open ice hits. Joey Talbot and Domish (Coventry) spring to mind.

Hendrix on Westgarth but you can pick several more of Hendo’s hits in the last couple of seasons.

Voth on Tait but pretty foul play in fairness.

Weller on Nielsen was fun.....

Coopers hit was against a Russian player, where OJ shouted out good night good night, Dougies hit was on Brian Wilkie.

Voth on Stefan Sjogren in the Play off Semi Final about 8-9 years ago. Voth got thrown out and Sjogren ended up in Hospital but to this day I still think it was a clean hit.

Just found it on DYG. It was the 2005/2006 season.

Didn't Dougie go on to fight Wilkie later on that game/season? I recall him scraping with someone in the bottom left corner of the ice (from the TV footage)

More needed please.

Paul Bissonette's check on Bobby Sandrock in the bbt was hilarious because Sandrock came flying into the corner having 'lined up' Biz and but ended up looking for his teeth after Biz 'clothes lined' him!

Don't really post anymore but love this thread.

My submission is the bomb that G dropped in front of the Devils bench on a Belfast Giant around 2009. I'm going to say Jason Rushton(?) Help out a tired addled brain if anyone has full details...

Not really a hit but Voths one handed shove of Theo Fleury was hilarious. He slid from blue line to centre ice after mouthing off at vother :lol:
