January 14, 2010 This hit is what playoff football is all about. Big time players, making big time plays and swinging the momentum toward their team. Ed Reed is a big time player, who made a big time play, which set the tone and allowed for the Ravens to trample the Cheifs. But seriously, my hat goes off to Matt Cassel on this play. He did a lot of good things here. He reads the Ravens Defense, sees the blitz, [...]

January 14, 2010 With the exception of Saints fans, anyone who watched the Seahawks upset the Saints last week got a treat when they watched this run. At the :04 and :09 marks, Marshawn Lynch manages to do his own blocking. At the :04 second mark he shrugs off two potential tacklers. At the :09 second mark he pretty much tells Tracy Porter to take a seat. All in all, an amazing run which fit perfectly into the incredible upset [...]

January 14, 2010 Talk about a cold shoulder! Check out this slow-mo version of Mike Browns shoulder to head hit on Ed Jovanovski. To call this hit clean would be like calling OJ innocent. These types of hits are extremely dangerous and fall right into the category of hits that the NHL is trying to eliminate. Let’s wait and see what Colin Campbell’s wheel of justice has to say about this one! Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend on [...]

January 5, 2011 Word broke from Toronto today that Capitals forward David Steckel would not be fined or suspended for this hit on Sidney Crosby. This news surely shocked many hockey fans who know and speculate about the NHL’s favoritism for Crosby. Nonetheless, the correct decision was made regarding this incident. As shown in the video, Crosby drifted directly into the line that Steckel was skating in. At no point did Steckel deliberately change his course or move any body [...]

December 22, 2010 Scary moment here in the Flyers vs. Bruins game. As Adam McQuaid of the Bruins goes to touch up for an icing, he is slammed from behind by Jody Shelly at the :06 mark. McQuaid, who was clearly shaken up on the play was down on the ice for a few minutes before getting up on his own power. Luckily he was not seriously injured on the play. Shelly was subsequently suspended two games for the blatant [...]

December 22, 2010 All you young hockey players out there need to watch this video and see first hand that good things happen when you hustle.

December 21, 2010 Sorry for the brief hiatus everyone. Back to the hits! This one is certainly a head scratcher in more ways than one. Watch in this clip as Tyler Brayton is seen stepping up toward the sideline and blatantly elbowing Panthers’ cornerback Chris Owens as he was heading down field on a punt return. There are two huge outstanding issues with this play and its aftermath. 1) The obvious fact that Brayton blatantly went out of his way [...]

November 29, 2010 The hits were at a premium in the Penguins victory over the Rangers last night in New York. Early on in the video, Ryan Callahan takes a penalty behind the play. Replays later show Callahan and Sidney Crosby get tangled while skating stride for stride toward the Rangers zone. Callahan gets his hand up high and takes a penalty for it. But watch a few strides after Callahan’s “penalty” and you’ll see Crosby blatantly slew foot Callahan [...]

Here at Pucks and Trucks, most of our video posts display hits that occur during game action. That is not the case with the one shown here. Watch this bonehead play by Richard Seymour during the Raiders embarrassing loss to the Steelers on Sunday afternoon. It looks as if Big  Ben is trying to get between Seymour and Steelers offensive lineman Trai Essex. Seymour then proceeded to take liberties with Roethlisberger. Needless to say, this hit was an awful display [...]
