Apologies, don't know how to embed the video. Regehr put plenty of umph in finishing off his hits on a rival.
It had NOTHING to do with just puck seperation. It was a rivalry, and he himself explained it as vindictiveness.
Ugh, perhaps it's the don cherry in me, but big mwan guys who can over power the high skilled guys in the rare occasion they can get there is a huge part of the pro game

I mean, some of those hits are pretty questionable and dangerous... Also it's a different league now. No doubt I probably cheered when he made them though so I'm definitely a hypocrite.
I guess my perspective is on the opposite side of the spectrum, hate seeing guys have their careers cut short from over-the-top hits. Love hitting and fighting but in the end it's just a game and don't like when guys are going out with the intention to hurt someone. If it's a clean play and it happens, bad luck, but when they are giving it the extra oomph/slew foot/headhunting just to hurt them, not a fan.
