Mr Elbows got his nickname honestly, before he was Mr. Hockey he was Mr. Elbows, and if sure gave him room...there is some great footage of him creaming guys unconscious after a cheap shot, or for no apparent reason. Google Howes Elbows Vidoes and the footage is grainy but clear enough to understand why he got the nickname. In the WHA games he would cream guys with his stick and take the penalty, at the beginning right after the opening face off against each new team. Everyone wanted to fight him, and he would just whack them one after the other until they stayed away. Slap Stick stuff. Game has certainly changed.

Chris12345 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Guentzel hit....that was nothing. Bure hit....5 games minimum. That's why Bure was the best Canuck ever. He could score but he also didn't put up with crap. I remember watching it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No intent to injure. Two guys came together going for the puck behind the net. 0 games. Agreed just a hard hit from my prospective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is delivering a full body check, making head contact incidental. Also there's a significant change in Carlsons body position just prior to contact as he plays the puck which can nullify a suspension. Worse than Wilson's, imo. But, I wouldn't give either one a suspension, not even remotely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't make a hit while looking at the puck. That would just be colliding. You are taught to follow the body and not look at the puck since Bantam hockey.

GB5 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Considering that the DPS looks at the infraction as well as the action previous to the infraction, I would say 2 games. These guys were going after Bure who himself was the recipient of several elbows that shift, this would factor into the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey was different back then, Dallas was built for the dead puck era with Ludwig and Hatcher holding onto and interfering with anyone they could catch....Churla and co were all over Bure until he did this, message received and after Calgary we became a steamroller right to the final. Churla was a good at his job and Bure might of ended up injured instead if this didn't happen, the way they were targeting Bure it was obvious they wanted him out of the series either by intimidating him or injuring him, which wasn't uncommon back then. The 97,98 Detroit teams would pick a star on the other team and deliberately wail away until they either gave up or knocked them out of the series, and it was exactly what Dallas was trying to do to Bure, he was a special player for not backing down and dishing it right back, and stepping up to one of the better enforcers of the nineties. agree completely. It was sweet watching a guy who was targetted stand up for himself. One of the dirtiest non-messier hits I had ever seen, but might have blazed the path to the finals for Van. Bure got an awful lot of room after that play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when somebody took a cheapshot at Bure (I think it was after he was dealt to the Panthers and I think Gino was on the Habs)....somebody interviewed Gino and I pretty sure he said something to the effect it doesn't matter they're on different teams now (him & Bure)...if you take liberties with my friend, sooner or later you'll have to play against me and ......

I haven't forgotten the lumberjack chop to Gradin's head that that puke #11 gave (I refuse to mention that Turd's name). Another puke, Sather remarked "but it was only a one hander....".

Still it was vicious. About that series, Babych once said that once the Cancuks started hitting the Stars evaporated, they couldn't get rid of the puck fast enough and the series became easy. The Nucks were one of the biggest teams in the league if not the biggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was rewatching the vicious hit that Bure put on Churla during the 1994 playoff series between the Canucks and Stars (if you've never seen it, check it out on Youtube - it's utterly amazing). I was trying to think that if that were to happen during the 2018 playoffs (say, instead of Bure, it was Scheifele or Crosby or Kucherov), what would the penalty be. I'm guessing it would be orders or magnitude greater than the 0 game / $500 fine that Burke imposed on Pavel. Product of it's time. Probably at least 8 games in today's NHL.
