[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

Kickass website! Looks good, and hopefully some folks can suggest some more Kronwall hits from the past for you to add on. Don't forget the hit on Miettinen in the '08 playoffs!

[rrasco]

Thanks guys. Sorry for the late update, I had the game on DVR and was playing catch up. I couldn't wait to update the site when I saw him step up on Reaves.

I don't know how hard it is to do, but it would be cool to have some kind of voting feature where the community could rank the top ten hits or something.

I was planning on doing something of the sort. A ranking system is definitely in line.

All I have to say is I was at the playoff game last year when Heatley got Kronwalled...in a position where I was able to see Kronwall's eyes light up.

Keep your head up my friend (FSN needs to do THAT for a commercial)

Can't wait for that to happen.

I'm pretty sure Havsplat will be #1.

And then Miettinen from Game 1? or 2? is top 3 or 4 for sure in my eyes even though it was a little dirty/illegal.

I also think the one on Clowe from last year's playoffs should be highly rated and not just because of the context of Clowe saying before the game that he wanted a piece of Kronwall. Just moreso because Clowe is one huge dude and that hit showed people that if Kronwall timed everything right that he can get the big guys too without jumping/leaving his feet.

Yeah, something like, "I don't always go out and hit guys, but when I do, keep your head up "

Sweet baby jesus...looks like I have some content to add.

Where did you compile all those from? My biggest dilemma is finding videos of all these. If I can't find a video on youtube then I need to find the full game and crop the footage.

if you got support through the donation feature you could support getting like the nhl vault or hockeystreams.net and then go back to the games and get the video, some of them might be floating around on nhl.com you just have to find them. These are form memory, dropyourgloves,net, hit reels.

Okay, thanks for the tips. I do have access to a private archive of games, not sure how far we go back, but I'll do my best to dig up the best of the rest and get them online. Pretty sure we have a GCL account as well.

Im also going to make jsut a compilation of every single hit, but I'll wait until you get all of the missing hits up.

And you prob could ask hockeywebcaster on youtube for help.

[rrasco]

Thanks. I found and added several from your other list as well. I hope to make some good compilations in the near future as well, but getting all the hits up was first priority.

[Red Wings Addict]

The latest installment of FSN Red Wings Live's new segment "Off The Boards" featured Niklas Kronwall.  They talked about various topics and one that came up was Kronwall's favorite or most memorable hit for him, which immediately made me think of this thread. 

 

He didn't actually say the words 'most memorable' or 'favorite' like I did above but the one that perhaps most prominently came to his mind because of the "timing" (his words not mine) was the hit on Dany "I'm a f***in' all-star" Heatley. 

 

 

Not sure if that one's in my personal top five but Kronner's the one who dishes out the hits.  Not sure why I don't particularly love that hit; even if it did knock Heatley down on his ass.  Maybe because it's kind of a difficult one to defend against his haters and just a little too much on the borderline for my liking.  But that's just me.
