Phaneuf leaves his feet a bit on this open ice hit. No elbows from the looks of it. You decide if it was fair or foul.......

That was clean and brutally legal.

Heck, Phaneuf was pulling a backward crossover when he stepped into him...

Nice fucking check. Done rung his bell real good.

Good clean fun!!!

That said, it's too fast to see whether or not he left his feet before there was contact. It looks like he may have, but players go airborne from high speed collisions all the time.

Morency Suspended

"New York Islanders forward Pascal Morency has been suspended indefinitely pending a hearing early next week.

Morency left the Islanders' bench and charged Flames defenceman Dion Phaneuf in the second period of Thurday night's 5-4 Flames win, after Phaneuf leveled Islanders' forward Kyle Okposo.

Morency was issued a game misconduct after the small fracas on the ice.

Okposo, who was taken off the ice on a strecher, is said to have a mild concussion, but no other physical damage from the check."

He'll get a game...ill-timed move. (Good show of "team" - But, still a bad move.)

Wow, Phaneuf just wrecked him with his glutes. Clean hit. Fucking great, old school, open-ice clean hit.

Dear Mr. Morency -

1. Don't leave the bench to get in a fight.
2. Don't leave the bench to get in a fight with someone much larger than you, and who is very likely going to kick your ass.

KTHXBYE

gotta give him credit. that old saying, its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog. props for going after him. anti-props for leaving the bench.

For a second it looked like a line change so Morency could go after Dion.

Phaneuf, Regehr AND Bouwmeester. Scary as hell.

good to see ya!
Yeah, Phaneuf had such a "down" year last season so he'll turn it around I'm sure

AND Sarich. Geez.

Looks like Phaenuf's left foot stayed on the ice, right foot was off during the hit.

clean hit. amazing hit.

what didnt help Morency is that he actally left the bench with out a stick. i think there was going to be a line change or the islander could at least argue that because several players were just about at the bench as the hit occured, but him leaving with out a stick just screwed him.

as for Oksposo...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzfY-aXG ... re=related

This is the kind of hit we all grew to love from one of the best (if not the best) in the game at the open ice hit. Scott Stevens.

So many have said that Dion left his feet, used an elbow...what the fuck ever. The guy is a beast and the fool he pasted should consider himself "Dion'd". My only problem with the hit is what came after. Phaneuf didn't drop the gloves to complete the spat. Other than that, keep'em coming Dion!
