Great hit. Couldn't have been laid on a better victim either.

I remember watching the game and knowing that it was coming a split-second before it happened.

Looks like a little bit of a leap before contact was made...

/just sayin'

//everything else was clean about the hit

I thought so too, so pretty much a typical Kronwall hit.

His feet were off the ground but he didn't jump up to hit the guy. He was just exploding into the hit. He didn't jump up in order to get the guy high. He just thought the contact would come earlier than it did, IMO.

lol - I thought putting those disclaimers in would calm the waters, alas it was not to be.

/Destroy's got my back, though (attaboy)

Yeah, I agree with this...The last thing I want to see are good bodychecks removed from the game. Good non-call by the officials.

This Sharks fan (and NOT a Heatley fan) approves this message.

Also, Heatley's comments from the Sharks blog:

*****Dany Heatley says that monster hit by Niklas Kronwall in the first period of Game 3 mostly just knocked the wind out of him. But because his head did hit the board as he fell to the ice, he did go through the required protocol whenever a concussion may have occurred.

“Passed the test with flying colors,” he said today. That, I guess, was obvious by the fact he only missed two shifts.

Heatley ended up blocking a Kronwall shot in overtime, but the Sharks forward didn’t exactly look at that as revenge.

“I had to block that. I let him get by me in the first place to create that play,” Heatley said. “But there’s not really any time for revenge now. There’s going to be big hits from both sides and I’ve just got to get up and keep playing.”

I'm no Heatley fan either, but I've gotta be honest, he's been good so far in the playoffs. Much better than I expected. Some lapses sure, but he's nowhere near the hindrance he was for games at a time during the regular season.

heater is MUCH better in the DET series than the LA series

 

[Urkie]

haha...I liked that hit too Kenny!

I do have to hand it to Heatley though. He has played pretty well in the series against the Wings.

As a fan, that's the type of hit that makes you leave.....your.....feet.....

awkward.....

:caked:

 

[postmaster]

It's about time Kronwall laid a hit that opposing falls all riled up

 

[SLY]

That was a monster hit, Kronwall is pretty bad ass.

A new NASA issued official Kronwall anti-gravity jersey?

J/K I'm not a big fan of his hits most times, but this was pretty good on a guy that should know better than that.

Nice hit on Clowe last night. I wonder if he just randomly decided to slay a guy who wasn't paying attention, or if he heard the comments by Clowe and decided to give him the old "how do you do"?

Yeah, that was another great hit! And Clowe seemed OK with it...

But, the dumbass that he is and since he's done it in a game against LA a couple weeks ago, there is a 99.99999% chance of an untimely undisciplined fight initiated by Clowe vs. Kronwall within the first 5 minutes of Game 6.

I don't see Clowe fighting Kronwall.... Kronwall's a pretty fast skater, I don't think Clowe could catch him...
