This clip will please a few people around PUH. I often read on here, peoples frustrations about how when a guy throws a good clean hit, why does he have to drop the gloves when he's challenged, as what normally happens.
The following is from tonight's Bruins / Panthers game and is a textbook check by Brian Campbell on Brad Marchand (every Canucks fan will love this clip  ). Following the hit, Patrice Bergeron, not exactly the toughest guy (good on him for sticking up for his teammate), goes after Campbell, who simply refuses to drop the gloves!
So, you have an awesome hit, a "reply" (attempt to pick a fight) by an unsuspected team mate AND a guy refusing to take the bait and rather have the attitude "screw it, my hit was clean, why should i fight? I'd prefer to please a few of the members over at PUH and walk away from the fight"!

Great clean hit by a talented and clean player. Brian Campbell has only three minor penalties this season, which is amazing for a defenseman.
Campbell did the right thing by not dropping the gloves. Why should he have to fight for a clean hockey play. But shouldn't Bergeron get a penalty for going after Campbell?
Retaliation after clean hits will continue as long as referees ignore the retribution acts. Most times, referees give offsetting penalties for roughing (or fighting) when players go after a player from another team who delivers a bone-crunching hit to one of their teammates, especially if it's of their more skilled players.
In this case, Bergeron went after Campbell after hit, and when I checked out the game stats, Bergeron did not get a penalty. So where's the deterrent?
Campbell, by the way, went on to tally three assists for the Panthers who went on to beat the struggling Bruins by a score of 6-2! |

| Perhaps this can be a good learning experience for Marchand, now he knows what a clean hip check looks like... |

Alex, I am one of those people that think players shouldn't have to "defend" themselves after a good clean hit. That's why I like the fact that Campbell refused to fight. Teams need to stop crying just because their teammate was on the recieving end of a big hit. That is part of the game, deal with it. That was a clean textbook hip check, good job Campbell

I guess Dan Hamhius should take a look at this video too....... |

During a heated debate in the fall around one of Marchard's ugly hits I posted a link to a Hamhuis hit from the playoffs last season that was within inches of being the same hit.
Nux and I had a decent battle on a number of points, hence my last post.......
All in good fun. |

| Was that the one on Lucic? I think that was the one Hamhuis hurt himself on costing the Canucks one of their best dmen the rest of the way. If that was the one, i thought the check itself was good, but it looked a tad bit late. |

Yep, that was the one. I posted links in another thread showing both hits and although not identical, they are related closely enough to make a comparison. The only difference between the hits (from my eyes) was that Lucic seen the hit coming. However, in both cases the contact point was below the waist and not that far above th knee.
Karma gave Hamhuis that injury.
If there is any more truth to Karma, Phoenix will win a few games and CHI will play VAN in the 1st round this season and send the Canucks packing like they should have done last year!!! |

Screw you ! That could send me "packing", as in, my heart packing it in! That game 7 OT last year was almost too much and had Luongo not stopped Sharp on the doorstep in OT allowing Burrows to win it, it's quite likely i wouldn't be here today (which i'm sure some wouldn't complain about!) to post this!!! |

Ha, I've been thinking of ways this matchup could happen as well, the playoffs just don't seem the same without a date with CHI... but I don't think its going to happen. PHX or COL could catch CHI I suppose, but its a longshot - there is as much chance of CHI catching DET and moving into 5th. VAN is almost a sure lock for 2nd in the conference at this point.
I think Hamhuis learned the hard way about how not to hip check, and more importantly, who not to hip check. Specifically, a streaking forward that outweighs you by 20 pounds . However, I think he is generally quite clean with his checks, and I didn't have a problem with that one on Lucic either.
I like the hip check in general though, and am pleased to see more Canuck dmen using it - Ballard for sure, but Hamhuis and Bieksa pull it out fairly regularly as well, and I've even seen Edler try it out. If Ballard doesn't play for VAN again, he'll at least have left us that legacy. |
