Eichel's facial expressions lookin like Marv from Home Alone getting a paint can to the face 😂
We win.
@@Theswazzer you lose. The Vegas LTIRs can't even cheat properly lol 😂
@@user-hw8qb1ye3s slap the butt
I am not a Tkachuk fan in any way, but that was a clean hit.
If anything, this should be a reminder to every hockey player of what can happen when you skate through the middle with your head down. BOOM !!!!
Yeah those types of hits are why players get it drilled into them early on to keep your head up.
It's not because his head was down, it's because he toe-picked and lost his footing.
Watch it again in slo-mo.
Reminds me of the old Scott Steven's hits.
Ong I got hit hard asf playing travel doing the same thing one day in Arkansas
If you're not a Katchuk fanboy then why do you care?
Eichel had the puck, no elbows, no extension, no head contact, no liftoff, no knee on knee contact... God damn, this hit might have the highest clean-to-hard hit ratio ever recorded!
Tkachuk is a remnant of prior 2010 hockey, plays a hard game and an excellent player, like Marchand everyone hates him but secretly theyd buy his jersey if he joined their team.
Totally agree but marchand does not level guys like this. Due to his size he's more of a rat whereas tkachuk does the ratty stuff while also laying people out due to his size. To be a gifted player plus size and not use it is common now. I think of a guy like Auston Matthews. If he were to be half as physical as tkachuk it would really help that team go farther.
Don't compare Tkachuk with a rat like marchand.
Marchand is a rat..lol.
I'd buy both Tkachuk jerseys because they are hockey!!!
That’s how you deliver a clean hit. Not launched at his head, no extending arms wherever or even a cross check. Just a clean body blow to an opponent who wasn’t looking.
The only person that launched into that was eichel lmao
Lmao
@@idkman-rr3bm what do you mean lmao, he’s entirely correct
First clean hit Tkachuk ever threw
@@Jiannuccilli don't fault the guy he just doesn't know
A clean hit so hard the refs instinctively thought it was dirty.
Charging, easily
@@skafreak69 🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
i watch enough to know you cant just lay out the puck holder anytime. or else it would happen always moron
Wasn’t a penalty
@@skafreak69imagine thinking ramming into someone in open ice whose carrying the puck is charging. You might wanna reread the rules
Even Eichel said in the post-game that it’s a physical game and people get hit. It’s just how it is.
Smacked him so hard he started glitching
Clean hit by Matthew Tkachuk just trying to get momentum for his team making huge hits!
You couldn’t be more correct
He will get his and I can't wait, he is the only reason I am cheering for the Knights. I hate players like him always have always will. I have watched hockey for over 50 years and dirt is dirt. He takes a predatory run and you call it clean, entent matters and so does history. You can see the shoulder is injured and that was his intent. Some people do not have a moral compass his dad was known to be a cheap shot as well. But he did not turtle everytime he was asked to pay the price for his actions.
@@dennisschultz9180 You've been watching 50 years, and think that was a dirty hit? That sounds like a lie to me bud. If you've been watching hockey for 50 years you'd know hits like that happened literally all the time by clean players from the 80's through the early 00's until the NHL started getting soft. That was a clean hit shoulder to shoulder, and maybe Jack should keep his head up. I don't like dirty players, but if you're gonna sit there and say you've been watching hockey for that long and call this a dirty hit then I'm gonna call you a liar and say I'm the pope.
@@dennisschultz9180 Right. I understand if players happen to be there and make a hit but this guy's objective is always to instigate and injure others.
@@dennisschultz9180 Doesn't the axe swinging Lumber Jack Pietrangelo play for the Knights?
Such a good clean hit in The Stanley Cup Final, and yet everybody still jumps in. If there is ever a time this should be expected it's right now.
I've always loved the way tkachuk plays. I wish he were on my team. I wouldn't be surprised if his brother has a cup run in a few years either. Skilled big guys who are willing to grind and use the body are an absolute must to make it far in the playoffs.
I applaud you, one of the few that actually understand the way hockey is suppose to be played! A breath of fresh air.
@@toddheywood8837 thanks Todd. I think a lot of the idiotic comments are from vgk fans who don't know what they're talking about. They're lucky to have such success this quickly.
@@ianomalley3124 lol so true, I’m a Sabres fan, so I know all about that! But in our case, not having success 😂
@@toddheywood8837 Was chicken $hit Tkachuk playing the way hockey is supposed to be played after game 4?
@@Clark807 omg! If you had him on your team you would love the way he plays, do I like it when he plays like Lemieux (Claude). I don’t like play that crosses the line, but I would give just about anything to have a guy who plays with heart, and 100% each shift, that also happens to put up 100 points a season. Also, he isn’t chicken s$&@ because he would drop the gloves with anyone.
Never thought I'd say it as an Oilers fan, but Tkachuk has become one of my favourite players during this playoff run. Guy's a beast.
me too as a Leafs fan. I honestly thought Carolina would sweep them. Boy was I wrong. Even if FLA doesn't win this cup, I still think Tkachuk should win MVP. And I couldn't stand him for the last few years. Good hit man and great playoff series for an individual player. Always will be a fan of him now!
Me too as an Oiler/Habs fan !
I hated him before but when you see him interviewed he’s the most likeable guy. Modest and soft spoken.
That was as clean as you could get. Eichel fell forward right as the hit took place.
In slow motion, he saw Tkachuk coming at the last second and only had time to turn his head. Looked like a shoulder injury. That could of been much worse had he not turned his head though imo.
He fell right before the hit not sure why. That's the definition of a defenseless player. Not tkachuks fault in that case just a strange play.
he seem to toe pick himself . Clean hit . Glad hes hockey could have been REALLY bad.
He took too many strides so clearly tried to make it more dangerous than just gliding into a clean hit
I think he saw him last millisecond and just tried to avoid it the best he could, not loosing his balance
Tkachuk mugged by 3 Vegas players = 12 minutes!
Yup, literally jumped by 3 players after a clean check and gets a 10 minute misconduct and roughing penalty for defending himself.
True and I love it 😂
Getting pretty tired of seeing players get jumped after a clean hit like thit
@@ericjrparent meh, I'm fine with it, but the guys who go after him better get 2 if it's a clean hit
@@ericjrparent when you target a star player on another team plus one that returned from a serious neck injury, I commend them for the retribution. I wish Leaf players did more of that.
What in the hell was tkachuk ejected for? That was clean as hell.
What a clean open ice hit!
so clean he almost beheaded him
He dove into the hit lol keep your head up players
@@RespectAllGirlzlook again there absolutely zero head contact
@@RespectAllGirlz You are soft. Hockey is not for soft people.
@@RespectAllGirlz it’s 100% clean. Stop trying to take contact out of hockey
Tkachuk got tossed for getting mugged by 3 golden knights players?! Lol, biased much 😂😂😂😂
Florida burned out all it's 9 lives with calls in their favor. You can't really argue others, any more than you argue they got a prison pounding tonight.
no he got tossed for JUMPING pietrangelo AFTER he got removed from the pile . He decided while being escorted by the ref that was a good idea to JUMP pietrangelo from the back and throw a couple hands in the face.
Eichel was falling forward before being hit, the momentum of him leaning forward was what made the hit look worse from Tkachuk's standpoint. As soon as you put your head down like that you're leaving yourself vulnerable
They should all forget about the puck and watch for the hits
Seem like he kinda lost his balance when he saw Tkachuk 1 feet away from him full speed lol.
Even then the contact is shoulder to shoulder.
Honestly, to me it looked like eichel almost tried to bail out at the last second.
Clean hit. One of the hardest hits I've seen in awhile.
Too bad for Eichel not seeing Tkachuk. Keep your head up.
100% clean hit.
Absolute beauty of a hit. Clean as can be.
Yeah if you are smoking crack then yes lolll absolutely charging more than 3 strides
@@coltongillis6476 Every hit I have seen the panthers do in the entire playoffs has been charging. It's just not a real rule apparently
Taking 4 full strides at someone isnt a clean hit. As a 30 year Blues fan, youtube comments are proof that people are complete idiots. It should be a charging call most definitely.
The charging is nowhere near visible via the replay given by Sportsnet, relax.
Clean hit. Jack should know if your head is up, you eyes should be too.
One of the hardest hits of the year. I hope Eichel is as ok as you can be after getting hit like that.
Hardest hit of the year??? Relax there
Biggest hit of the year? Trouba would send Matt right into retirement.
Fk him and the vegas goon squad
Man had neck surgery a couple years back, fk hope he good
Eichel lunged forward, probably an AC joint
good solid hit...playoff hockey,love it
Not a Tkachuk fan at all, but this is a clean hit. And I think it is what's missing from the game these days. The sh*t show that ensues is the reason it barely exists anymore - clean hits don't need to cause a fight. Take your lumps, keep your head up at all times. Learn from your mistake.
was a clean hit, Tkachuk penalty jsut shows how much the NHL is skewing the series for the Knights. Really the Knights don't need the help NHL, they are playing way better than Florida
I said exactly that tonight
yeah I hate saying it but it did seem that way tonight. however im curious to see how it goes in florida
@@michaelbecker2435 Vegas will go down as the worst team to ever win a cup!
@@hopsterbb2571 That's a pretty tough title to headhunt from St. Louis.
@@hopsterbb2571 pretty sure Chicago wins just from a cultural aspect.
what the hell was the 10 minute on Tkachuck for??
I keep wondering that myself. Had to be something after the hit. I don't see it.
I was wondering the same thing.
Terrible call.
@@D-Fens_1632 The fight that broke out after the hit.
Eichel comes back and sets up a beauty. Eichel doing what it takes to win.
He got up asking for the plate number 😅😂
VGK fan here to say it was a good clean hit 🐀 and I’m glad to see Eichel back in the 3rd.
Love that. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap
Good hit. Eichel fine. Has an assist a few mins later
VGK fan too and yes I agreed it was, I'm glad Jackie is fine!
Eichel was searching for his head on the ice after the hit. He got blasted 💥
oh cool, we were just waiting for your assessment of the situation
Huge hit, completely clean
Did he get a penalty?
@@patrickgregory1078 Don't know what your question has to do with anything, but it was an entirely clean whether, you're dumb, deaf or blind.
That's a fair hit. It's tough to avoid a hit when a guy is coming off the bench and shows up out of nowhere.
I broke my collar bone from a hit like that. Eichel must be in serious pain.
Thinking same thing, especially by how he left the ice… been there too. I had dislocated shoulder though lol
Guessing it was mild separation and he got some pain meds or shot considering he was back.
Maybe he learns to keep his head up in the future
Clean hit! "Don't skate through the neutral zone with your head down"-Eric Lindros
It wasn't that he tripped. Try and pay attention
@@DB-dm2xm he didn’t trip, he knew his world was about to get rocked so he tried avoiding the hit last second.
Clean hit.
You dont get any cleaner than this.
@@alpe6228 yep. squeaky clean
Clean asf that's hockey shoulder to shoulder I love it
***Florida player breathes
Refs: that’s enough out of you, game misconduct
Florida probably should've received a power play after this
Nope, matthew got ejected
😂
No doubt at all. Retaliation for a clean hit should be an automatic.
Starting a fight after a good hit, I agree
Because Vegas is supposed to win.
Perfectly executed, clean open ice hit. I’m glad Eichel is alright though. Seeing him get injured again would be really sad.
How did the knights not get penalized here for jumping Tkachuk after a clean hit? The NHL bias is showing HARD these past few games, Gary doing whatever it takes to get the Knights a cup...brutal.
Cry more. Zebras get it wrong both ways. It happens.
Literally doesn't matter what the refs call unless they suspend him for the series. Tkachuk knows he will get jumped for rocking their most skilled player. Think big picture like tkachuk did there. Eichel is now taking second looks on the ice and other skilled less physical players on the knights are too. As influential as calls can be refs don't make the determination on who wins.
@@ryanmaxwelll2730 yeah yeah 🥴 “cRy mOrE” you goofs are everywhere
What a beauty of a hit. So clean. Wish Eichel a fast recovery.
Gonna be so satisfying watching these clowns continue to lose.
He came back in the game and got another point in the blowout victory.
Did he get a penalty?
Clean as a clean hit can be, and I hate both teams but man I'd love Tkachuk on my team for sure.
Clean as a whistle !!!
Great open ice hit, well done, shoulder to shoulder and he had puck
Tkachuk is by no means a clean player, but that was a clean hit.
Didn’t barbashev get a misconduct?
@@NicEeEe843 that should have been the only call for retaliation.
@@anonymous134y well Tka got a 10 because After he got removed from the pile he JUMPED pietrangelo and hit him in the face ... That why he got a 10.
Scott Stevens would be proud of that hit. He made hits like this into an art form...
The contact was clean, but charging should have been called. It was blatantly obvious.
Clean hit! But refs are on the Knights side this series.
Down 4-0 and the refs are somehow still to blame😂
@@STEEZY_TREV16 yeah they got one PP goal and have less PP must be the refs lol
@@tinyrick1853
Fans get salty as hell when it comes to Vegas. Case in point, all the bozos liking this copium of a comment. Haters gonna hate, what can ya do. It'll just make the victory sweeter
@@STEEZY_TREV16 exactly
I agree.
You gotta keep your head on a swivel when you are on the train tracks. Reminds me of Scott Stevens !
Considering Jack and his history with his neck I was pretty happy to see him get up. I'm sure his surgeon feels pretty good about how the disc held up.
This is just part of what makes playoff hockey the greatest sport on earth...
Almost as good as Subban's hit on Marchand. Perfect timing
Except Subbans hit was not with the intention to injure Marchand. Tkachuk hit was predatory knowing of Eichel’s serious neck injury past. This hit could have paralyzed Eichel. It’s fine to hit Eichel but high impact hits like this is not worth it considering you could put another human being in a chair for the rest of his life.
@@paulbelamour8042 Then retire from* the sport. nothing wrong here, carry on.
@@paulbelamour8042is this you're first year watching hockey? 😂
Subban's was an all time hit and it was beautiful too. Any kronwallian hit always catches my eye and besides being deadly they look great. I wouldn't put this one in the same arena aesthetically but it was a hell of a message sending hit.
@@paulbelamour8042 Eichel plays hard too. He knows the risks. A clean hit on open ice is a thing of beauty.
Jack Eichel looks like Marv from Home Alone getting hit with a paint can.
Absolutely leveled
It felt like going to work Monday morning during the game. Then it suddenly felt like 5pm on a Friday heading into a long weekend after seeing the hit.
Cleannnnnnn
Eichel looked like he tried launching himself into Tkatchuk 😂 Bad idea
Cleanest hit I've seen him throw
Pick your head up kid
Jack got spooked out at the last second, that’s why his leg bend backwards…..didn’t lose his balance.. least he came back to the game.
He toe picked right before he got nailed
Clean hit. That was enjoyable to watch for many Buffalo fans
why does buffalo fans not like Eichel
@@tomoe3399 He was quite bad on the Sabres, mostly due to organisational failures.
@@tomoe3399 He was cancer in the locker room. All he did was whine. The best thing Buffalo did was get rid of him. They missed the playoffs by 2 points to Florida. When he was in Buffalo, there was no team chemistry, now they are playing like a team that should make the playoffs next season with the talent they now have.
Many Buffalo fans are rooting for Eichel.
@@clarencekorabek2910 At least he somewhat succeededd elsewhere.
Clean hit. No questions asked
Always keep your head up
Dude, never one to jump to Chucky's defense, but that was 100% a clean hit. Even with Eichel falling it was all shoulder on shoulder. I could see Eichel getting a bit of whiplash, but no way is that an unclean hit.
Agreed It just caught Eichel by surprise
I’m the same, I don’t particularly like either of those players but that as a clean check and once again an NHL official on a power trip decided to impose his own rules.
Yeah I can’t stand the guy, but you’re absolutely right
Don't call him chucky like you guys are friends. Weirdo. Fans are such freaks.
The contact was clean but charging should have been called. The refs blew it on that one.
Best Hit of 2023 Playoffs!! Clean as it comes!
Scott Steven's type his but clean man respect no shame in this hit its delivered in every aspect they teach you how yo deliver a check in
Chuck is the king of all hockey right now. Period..no matter who your team is. Doin it all. Go chucky. Love from Buffalo 😊
That was a clean hit but most of the other stuff tkachuck does seems to be dirty or after the whistle. 3 10 minute misconducts and an ejection in 2 Stanley cup final games- way to make history tkachuck!
i dont recall tapping someone's stick out of their hands as being worthy of a 10min misconduct.
also good job acknowledging the hit was clean but still acting like the misconduct was a good call
None of those misconducts were deserved. I cannot stand the guy but this game management is embarrassing.
Clean hit, bad call on the misconduct on Tkachuk. Eichel is hurt to the shoulder as I can see. Big boys hockey right there we love it
anybody know the song playing in the background?
beautiful clean hit. Keep your head up kids!
Why they send him off it was clean?
Because Maurice wants some of that action in the locker room 😂
He wasn't sent off. He went off on his own ffs
I hate Tkachuk, but that was a clean hit. For him to get kicked out for that is ridicules. Looks like the refs are wanting the Knights to win the cup.
wasnt cause of the hit
wait what was he kicked out for lol
Roughing afterward. Vegas fan here, definitely a clean hit, they showed about 19 different angles after
He got 10mins for the rough stuff after the hit
Stupid. He didn't instigate the rough stuff but is the only one gone for it.
I was hit like that in football. Kicked off, looked at ball. Smash to left sdr. 48 years later sdr still hurts today. It never healed
Biggest open ice hit I've seen in a while. Clean.
Clean hit!!
Wait. Why did he get booted for that hit?
wasnt the HIT it was because TKACHUK cant control his antrics . After getting REMOVE from the piles he DECIDED to JUMP Pietrangelo and throw hand in the face. That what happen.
@@cestor Ahhh ofcourse
More clean than other hits these playoffs.
Now that’s a nice clean hit shoulder to shoulder
Clean hit or not, Tkachuk was trying to injure Eichel. The smirk on his smarmy yap while he was leaning up against the bench said it all.
he was smirking because he knew the misconduct was BS
Maybe lawn bowling is more your speed? Or badminton. Yes, badminton would be good for you.
Up 4-0 with 2 minutes to go, what in the world was Eichel thinking?
That was a thing of beauty,keep your head up kids
Incredibly hard...yet clean open ice hit
Clean and perfect hit. Nothing nefarious there.
The only thing nefarious was Eichel's lack of awareness and no internal clock... "if you fly straight and level for mor than 30 seconds Jerry will have you for lunch" (in hockey it's more like 3 seconds)
useless hit with intent of injuring in a 120% certain loss......idiots like hits like that and idiots delivers hits like that.
Go watch soccer, soy boy
@@mikescorpio13 It's a big hit to get your team going... No loss is guaranteed and 0-4 with a whole period left has tons of time for a comeback
@@mikescorpio13 his team is down big and needs a spark. Eichel was a dumbass skating that long near a blue line with the puck with his head down. It's Eichel's fault lol. Go watch 10U if you don't like hits
That score hit back harder.
Awesome clean hit boi
If Eichel didn’t move his head last second.. could have been even worse
I'll be shocked if Eichel's shoulder isn't at least separated.
What a beauty hit!! Textbook!
Jack: "My name is Elmer J Fudd....I own a mansion and a Yacht...."
Обалденный хит! 🔥
Hard hit, but clean, keep your head on a swivel Jack.
I love this game!
Clean open ice hits are what make hockey exciting.
If you didn’t like the hit, you shouldn’t watch hockey!
This is as clean a hit as you can get; Vegas coach said it was a clean hit, Eichel himself said it was a clean hit, Tkachuk tugged his arm and elbow before the impact, I would call that a solid gentleman’s hit. Glad no one was hurt, more glad Tkachuk didn’t get a penalty for that. ( I thought initially at least one of the ref’s reaction was 5 and game misconduct, after consultation, they all correctly agreed that was not a penalty at all)
Eichel nervously fell right into it too haha damn good hit
As a Buffalo sabers fan that is rooting for the Panthers. I approve of this hard hit
Damn at least he got up 😮
Such a nice clean hit, too bad the players are soft AF
Does Tkachuk do anything without chewing on his mouth guard? Everytime I see a closeup of his face he's chomping on it.
Ketchup is a chew hungry baby looking for mommies tata.
Gotta keep your head up
And than comes right back out and assists on a goal haha that's a g
I love those hits. We need more of them.
On you next
nah we dont need more of them. thats how brain damage happens. the way it is now is good, every once in awhile theres a good one and it has the shock factor
On you next . Come to riverside park and get it.
@@mr.brenman2132 You heard about Probert, right? Tie Domi has a Neanderthal thickness skull - he's a freak of nature. Do a little more research on how most of the tough guys have aged.
@@mr.brenman2132 i mean i don't watch hockey exactly because of that reason, and most people in north america don't watch it either, which is why it's the least popular sport of all of the big 4 leagues.

@RespectAllGirlz disrespectallyouwh0r3z what you mean sorry what? It was an obvious statement, you're just a dumb broad
Keep ya head up.
Clean hit.
