Statts 4 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 Beautiful hit. Perfect form, no elbow, no jumping, no headhunting. Just a crushing body check. Looking at the replay, it looks like Stuart let up a little. He could of destroyed Ansimov if he really wanted to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

under_par_00 45 Report post Posted December 7, 2009 B-E-A-utiful. Mickey really jumps all over Anisimov for having his head down. He is right though, what was he thinking? I play in a non contact league and I will have my head up there after having that much time and space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess you can't blame the rest of the NHL fan bases for disliking Mickey, so I can see where some of them are coming from. But if you're a long time Wings fan and you understand how he is, you learn to love the guy. I think he's the greatest. If you want a more 2 dimensional view of the game you're gonna have to listen to Ken Kal and Co.. Mickey was 100% correct though, it's Ansimov's fault for skating down ice blindly. He didn't even make an effort to look up, it's hard to feel bad for him when that happens. If you can't see something THAT obvious coming, maybe he's not ready for the NHL.

As much as I like Mickey, I'm gonna have to disagree with you. I think he's pretty bias, sometimes feel like he might be the biggest Red Wings fan on the planet. He does occasionally give the opponent credit for a good hit or play but mostly it's all about the Wings...how they got screwed by the refs, how great our players are, etc.. Mickey's famous last words before a PP are "Not a good call....but the Red Wings will take it!", that's him TRYING to be unbiased. He does a great job and I'm glad he's still around, but his Red Wings bias is the reason I like him so much. You ever notice how quiet he gets when the Wings are down a few goals? He's been better lately because it seems to a be a more common occurrence, but in years past during our 1st round playoff exits, he would become almost non-existent when we were down and playing an elimation game, I have no do doubt that it was because he was nervous or disappointed and at a loss for words.

Most of them saw it for what it was I think at this point all nhl fans following the hit are universally agreeing that it was an amazing clean hit and Anisimov should have had his head up.
