For those of us that actually watched Hunter on a regular basis, he wasn't a dirty player as his YouTube highlights would suggest. The only real black mark on his career was a certain post season hit against the Islanders

I watched Hunter play on a regular basis. Probably more than anyone here because I watched him play with the Nordiques before he played for us. I grew to dislike him as a player before he played for the Caps which is probably why I had a hard time warming up to him when he played for us. I did start to like him but the Turgeon incident put a stop to that.
And yes he was a dirty player. He was a very unpredictable player. You never knew what he was going to do. Hits from behind, elbows, slewfoots, slashing, spearing. He was a good player. He played hard and physical but he wasnt a clean player.
I do feel he was a dirtier player when he played for the Nordique. Not sure if that is true or if I am being a bias Caps fan. Sorry guys, I really tried to like him. If he had started his career with the Caps I probably would have a different opinion of him.

Lol I can't believe he said that. He coughed up the puck. Turgeon scored and was celebrating with his hands in the air and Hunter followed him for another 40 feet and took him out. That excuse was more embarrassing than the hit it self.

Here’s an example of Hunter’s intensity, targetimg and beating the hell outta one of the most spineless and truly dirty players ever, and damn the refs too:
3 refs to save Ulf after he turtles. . . i’d of loved to see what of happened if they just let this one go and see when and if Hunter stopped 😁
