I’m glad Leason is a big dude and not a shutterbug in size or he might’ve had a eulogy written today. That hit was absolutely insane and this kid Lilleberg has been impressive as all get out in a very short tenure in the NHL thus far!
@@shawndonovan1182I'm so tired of seeing people tout trubas name anytime someone brings up a big hit, this hit is clearly one of the biggest and most punishing clean hits this season and maybe even the last 2
Gotta say this helped the lighting immensely, especially a few shifts later with Kuch throwing the body. Hard hit and damn Lillerberg is making a huge impact for the lightning
That hit changed the entire game. Tampa finally started rolling after that and never gave momentum up the rest of the game. 3 rookies sent back to Syracuse today, but he stayed up. Good feeling he's gonna stay up in Tampa if he performs like this every night.
Emil Lilleberg is 6'2" (188cm) and pretty thin 185lbs (84kg) for his height . Brett Leason 6'5" (196cm) 225 lbs (102kg) so that was a perfect hit from Emil. But as always, skate with head up.... then he would have seen it coming.
Charging in a straight line up the ice, along the boards, with his head down, like an uncoached high school kid. If he hasn’t learned how to protect himself by now, he won’t be around long.
Exactly. No teammates open, your’e skating along the boards with a wall of defenders at the blue line... If he had been looking up when skating through the neutral zone he’d have seen he should just dump the puck and chase it in a situation like that.
@@jackoblllllllll Johnston had his chance to take it up with Watson and he refused to fight him just prior to this. Johnston came after Lilleberg later and basically bounced right off of him.
This is atrocious for chemistry and for a locker room. Doesn't matter if its a dirty hit or a ckean hit. If anyone hits your teammate like this, you HAVE to defend him.
Big hard and legal hit. I’m glad the other guys didn’t jump him after the hit! Legal hits, no matter how bad they might look, don’t deserve getting jumped by 4 opposing players. Good for the Ducks and I hope homie is ok.
You can say that online sure. But say that to ... oh I don't know... Johnston's face? Or Gudas the "Butcher"? Or maybe "Killer" perhaps? Actually, just talk to Sammy Carrick. He'll show you how soft the Ducks are.@@zberg0101
If anyone hits your teammate that hard it doesn't matter if it was a clean legal hit or not you go after that guy end of. The ducks are so soft they let the lightning flatten a guy and then they have a nice little chat, no. You take the other guys teeth out.
That's ridiculous. He basically got a concussion, which means a minor brain injury (and that can result in a major injury if it happens a few more times) - no toughness can protect you from that.
I’m a Ducks fan and that’s a great hit. These youngsters need to learn how to play a physical game before they can win in this league. That’s another loss, but a great example of what vets like Gudas have been trying to teach them. Lesson learned the hard way for sure.
Ahh.. I am a proud Norwegian and to witness 2 players from my country is huge.. Remember hockey is not a big sport here. The player have full time jobs besides playing hockey here Greetings from Oslo,Norway
Seeing more and more of these young players skating with their head down thinking that no one will hit them. Welcome to the NHL. I don’t want to see dirty hits that injure players, but hits like this can really change the momentum for a team. Wish more teams would do it.
Emil Lilleberg is a kid, made his NHL debut in January. From Norway, played in the SHL in Sweden before coming here. Brett Leason is a young guy who has become somewhat of a journeyman who bounces between the AHL and NHL
@MisterCaution Fly out of position? He's a defender... He defended the zone entry by eliminating his man. He may have conceded a scoring chance, but that's on the rest of the team. Lilleberg made the correct decision. Leason just put on his blinders and went straight ahead.
@MisterCaution Why would a defenseman in the NHL just be like "Yup! Come on in" without any sort of challenge? Lilleberg did nothing wrong, and energizes his team with this
What Watson does there at the bench is exactly why he's on the team. Doesn't have to say anything, but just put himself in the area. He's probably telling that kid to keep doing exactly what he's doing and I'll back you up. Those little things go so unnoticed in todays game.
Beauty of a hit only disappointment was the lack of emotion from the fans on that....not many on their feet cheering that on....I mean come on....he rocked him.
looked bad full speed but slow mo, shoulder to shoulder solid hit. Gotta keep your head up. Johnson needs to talk to his player and teach him to protect himself.
Dang! I had to watch this a few times to agree that, yes, it WAS a clean hit. I really hope that the dude is OK!!! As a fan of the GREATEST sport...I love the big hits...but I also want these guys to get paid.
Why was he even talking to him? I’m so sick and tired of players going after other players when the hit was completely clean. I’m sorry, I understand your teammate got his world rocked, but it was a clean hit. Quit bitching and just keep playing. Dirty hits? Yes, go after them all day long.
I love that big hits are back. Lots of guys are getting caught with their heads down, this type of hitting wasn't as common for a long while so guys aren't ready for it, especially the younger players.
It’s not refreshing at all it’s garbage and horrible for the locker room in Anaheim, I don’t care if it’s clean our not if someone blind sides one of your guys like that you do something about it or the opposing team will clown on you the entire game

@@curtisb5978 “blindside”? My man, he had an entire line to line to see the hit developing, he just didn’t lift his head. That’s what is called a good learning experience. No, the other team doesn’t think you’re tough when one of your teammates comes up to push and shove like a little sissy after a good hit. You know how you show them you’re tough? You hit them solidly back and win the game.
Brilliant old school hit. Sad that it's even referred to as an old school hit. The game has gotten so soft. Keep your head up, boys. You want risk free hockey then there's this new league you might like called the PWHL.
I don't think we'll see a hit that big and that clean again this season, bravo Lilleberg
Too add to that, without a fight breaking out.
Amazing hit!! I agree, but hope you are wrong lol
This is the kids 4th NHL game and he did that to a 6'5" 220lb man! Unfortunate landing for Leason, though. Hope he can recover quickly.
Biggest hit in the league this season.
Not even lol
@@mikes7446 by far the biggest lmao what

Exactly, this was the spark they needed but the fact that Kuch dumped Fowler soon after was when you could see that the lightning woke up a bit
That’s a clean hit, but also scary to watch. Dude was out on his feet. Probably didn’t help that he hit the ice face first. Hope he’s okay.
Guy looks concussed but ok
Guy looks concussed
He's injured. Joins a long list of inured players for the ducks. Wish the Ducks would finally show a response
It's not a clean hit. You can't hit the head.
He died because of your comment.

Man I would love to see the Bolts keep Lilleberg around, he’s absolutely spiced up our lineup
What a hit!!! Classic Rob Blake for real! Absolutely crushed him
Rob Blake and Scott Stevens homage !!!

That’s the first thing I thought. He covered a lot of ground with that head down. Great hit, hope the dudes ok.
Man even i didnt see him coming and i watched it 5 times
Beautiful hit. love to see he didn’t get jumped after.
He might rather get jumped than to have a stern talking to from johnston lol
They should have fought him. Now they look like pushovers.

Clean legal Scott Steven style hit on your best player not ok expect to get jumped
@@litterbug1483Brett Leason is a bottom 6 forward not a star player… and this is not comparable to a Scott Stevens hit
Gotta be the biggest cleanest hit I've seen in a good while.
Reminds me of Byfuglien’s Richter scale hit on Stone. Hope Leason is okay.
The fact that he got up from the hit only shows how tough these players are…
That's ridiculous. He basically got a concussion, which means a minor brain injury (and that can result in a major injury if it happens a few more times) - no toughness can protect you from that.

Greetings from Oslo,Norway
Greetings!
hi, from the uk, i was reading these comments to find out where Lilleberg is from & thanks to you i now know. have a great 2024 mate
NYR miss Zuccarello!!
He has become popular in a very short period of time in Tampa!
@@KallogeeI think one of his parents has Italian ancestry, but he is Norwegian.
An absolute beauty of a hit. League needs way more hitting like this
yeah good idea.....so player will be injure each game after 4-5-6 big hit.....
@@222JohnRamboif they keep their head up they won’t get caught unaware and can brace for the impact.
He sent him to the shadow realm.
He knocked him back into 90's hockey when it was fun to watch
This kid is money, so happy he got to crack into the roster.
Good hit, and good on Leason for not just laying on the ice. Dude got up and managed his way off. No need to stop the game for it.
That was an amazing hit
I don't think we'll see a hit that big while also being that clean again this season. Kudos to Lilleberg
Especially without the tickle fight that always breaks out after hits now a days.
Beautiful hit. Perfectly executed. Hate to see guys get rattled like that, though. Hopefully Leason is okay.
Great hit. Thanks for bringing the greatest hits back 👍🏽💚💚💚
Colossal hit. You know what they say, "the bigger they are, the harder they fall".
Just hope he's okay after that one.
Always keep your head up!!!
Literally he smacked it off the ice😮
what a beauty. guys are starting to assume they wont get hit in open ice situations anymore for some reason, hope leason is ok
He covered ground fast. Must have looked like he was going back into the zone and then just straight at him
what a hit damn!
Boooom!!!!!
Crowd did not react enough to that hit
As a bolts fan sadly we only react to points and flashiness. Where a pretty sad fan base when it comes to roundiness

They have got their own kronwall in Norway.
//From a Swede :P
Getting himself to the bench. What a beast.
Love the way this kid plays, good old school physical defense, good checks !
Huge hit, clean, no fight. Awesome
Old school keep the head up hit. I love it.
Leeson got Kronvalled ✊💪
Great bodycheck ❤
Huge and CLEAN hit. Leason was almost broken in half. BOOOMMM!
He was Kronwalled!
He sure was, in a norwegian way. This kid can go far..
Holy cow what an exquisite hit from Emil 😫
nice and clean, wow
Ok im what i can consider a passionate knowledgable Hockey fan but how have i never heard both of these guys?

Make the team and teach him

NHL needs more lillebergs and less soccer fans.
We used to call that getting Kronwalled, and I'm not even a Wings fan.
Great hit welcome to the show kid
where do you find these clips/highlights to use in your videos
The advancement of skating skills matched with size and strength makes keeping your head up and on a swivel important.
Hits like that is what makss hockey the best sport in the world.
Beauty of a hit only disappointment was the lack of emotion from the fans on that....not many on their feet cheering that on....I mean come on....he rocked him.
What's Johnston over there yapping about? He better keep his head up or he'll be the next Norwegian knock out 🤣
I have a feeling he just earned a spot on the bench. That was the hardest, cleanest open ice hit I've seen in years
A real Viking 🇳🇴👏
looked bad full speed but slow mo, shoulder to shoulder solid hit. Gotta keep your head up. Johnson needs to talk to his player and teach him to protect himself.
Huge hit but clean. Keep your head up!
Emil Little Mountain just became Emil Big Mountain I believe.
Lilleberg means little mountain, which seems appropriate.
#request Johnston Watson roughing/unsportsmanlike penalties
Lilleberg is from Sarpsborg. That hit is how we enter a pub😂
And the results of the hit is how we leave the pub xD

I really hope that the dude is OK!!!
As a fan of the GREATEST sport...I love the big hits...but I also want these guys to get paid.
Head up young man! Hope he’s alright but that’s a lesson to be learned!
Keep your head up! What a hit.
Biggest hit I’ve seen in hockey in years. Pretty much since Kronwall retired.
Hey Jens! Thanks for the content my best to you and yours! Also, have you thought about doing pwhl highlights?
NHL players have forgotten how to take a hit these days.
Keep your head up!
Gotta keep your head up, kid.
respect to the ducks for not throwing hands after a clean hit. more teams in the league needs to aknowledge this
Why was he even talking to him? I’m so sick and tired of players going after other players when the hit was completely clean. I’m sorry, I understand your teammate got his world rocked, but it was a clean hit. Quit bitching and just keep playing.
Dirty hits? Yes, go after them all day long.
Then Johnston comes over a berates Lilleberg for a minute... for what dishing out a clean hit?
#request Hedman 10 min misconduct
That hit would of never happened if Leason wasn't reading the warning label on his stick while crossing the blue line. Leave the kid alone
Dude is this house league? Why does this guy have his head down skating up ice....wtf
Because it's rare in the league now for defenseman to make a hit like that, now.
That'd make it onto Don Cherry's rockem sockem hits for sure!
Nice hit, would love to see hitting come back to the game
0:47 perfect edgework to set up the hit
The PWHL is more physical than the Ducks Team.
Almost as hard as Nick Cousins hitting the ice to turtle!
Tough one.. His own teammate was blocking him off from being able to side step it along the boards to the right.
Lilleberg shouldve pulled a Scott Stevens and said "youre next" 😂
He woulda entered legend status if he did that😂😂😂😂
And of course, no retaliation from the Ducks.
why retaliate for a clean hit? Derp, hey lets go down a man for instigating and lose..... over a clean check.
dumb
Emil of Lönneberga is on the warpath.

Wow and big scrum didn't happen afterwards, truly rare sight to see.

Dude skated 3/4 of the rink with his head down
So refreshing to see a solid hit and then no retaliation fight or other BS. Let’s play some good hard hockey and make big hits a normal thing again.
