VIDEO: The greatest hit in playoff history?

Although the Red Wings have had many players who have had many great hits over the years, no hit may have more recognizability than this one. In Game 5 of the 1996 western conferance finals, Wings legend Vladimir Konstantinov lays one of the best checks you will ever see on Colorado Avalanche player Claude Lemieux. You will never se a hip check like this in today's NHL. Konstantinov was one of the last few players to perfect the technique. Look at how Lemieux flies through the air like a fish caught on a hook!
