12:06 “Chevier is just getting murdered by Philadelphia’s Hextall.” Being said like it was another Tuesday is so funny.

Hack-stall as we used to call him, underestimated Potvin. He assumed the small, unassuming goalie would get demolished. Boy was he wrong! Potvin held his own against the more aggressive Hextall. Still, I have to give credit where it's due. He was a great goalie who got the job done.

Hextall takes it in the crease!!!

He’d get even more attention in today’s being, well, not white. Media would have loved everything he did and would blast it front page

I'm pretty sure that the Japanese people at Konami, when they decided to make a ice hockey video game, tuned in to the NHL to see what they could put in their game to make it appealing and fun. It was during that time that Ron Hextall had arrived in the NHL. I would bet that they saw footage of Ron Hextall going crazy. This could explain why the goalie seems so damn angry in that game and that he is pretty much the most dangerous player on the ice, destroying any player that touched him.

What about Billy Smith...🏑🏒

Great video was before my time but knew him as a GM What a character what a goalie

Such a shame we don't see goaltenders like Hextall anymore.

Miss when goalies had personality

Thank you for making this video. As a little kid watching Leafs games in B&W I'll never forget the crowd chanting "We Want SHACK". The second he stepped on the ice the game changed. He was greased lightning. He put EVERYTHING into every shift. A bundle of energy nobody could contain. I can't get over how much Zach Hyman resembles Eddie. Sometimes he plays a bit like Eddie too. Clear the track--here comes ZACH!

That's when fighting was awesome, in today's hockey you hit them and their crying like a bunch of babies.

Hextall was a madman

Felix Potvin kicked his ass! lmao

Loved his passion but did some stupid things

Hextall completely choked in the playoffs when he was with the Isles. I've never seen a worse goaltending performance

He never came close to matching his rookie year

Hextall did not play in game 7 at Pittsburgh in round two of the 1989 playoffs - Ken Wregget won that game and game one in the conference final in Montreal.

Hextall was a unique guy at a unique time in the sport. Well deserved legend.

He think he’s bad all he wants but Felix Potvin tuned him in

Who didn’t wanna watch this guy play?…. A LEGEND!!!!!

GOD I MISS THIS STYLE OF HOCKEY!… BEST YEARS EVER!

Penguins legend

After his first 3 seasons in the NHL (including playoffs), his stats were: Was the only goalie to play in 60 or more games in all 3 seasons 122 wins 19 ties 3 shutouts 2 goals scored 23 assists 407 penalty minutes 6,260 saves Just crazy how he combined goalie stats with defensive d-man scoring stats and enforcer/goon penalty stats. He couldn't keep that up though, and after those first 3 seasons the magic was gone due to several different things. For starters, approaching his 4th season he chose not to attend training camp, and he held out due to contract disputes, and when he finally returned, with the season already under way (due to being suspended from the season before) he did not have a good year at all. He was constantly battling with groin and hamstring injuries which kept him out of the lineup.

Not to mention he was a great mole for Philly when he worked as a GM in Pittsburgh, the guy was on a mission to sink that team and he did! :)

Great video! Bet the leafs they had him now!

Hextall was a great goalie, and I love the fierceness he showed! I wanted Patty Wah Wah wah’s head on his platter! He was tough as nails, unless against Potvin. Roy was too scared to fight him hahaha!

philly always got wild goaltenders🤣🤣 i always think of ray emery

billy smith was a bigger psychopath and a better goalie

I LOVE that you put The Hockey Guy into the iceberg. That guy puts in an absurd amount of work. And being in America where hockey is rarely (IF EVER) talked about or given any spotlight whatsoever on our big sports shows, we have to go to guys like THG on KZbin. He's been a godsend for fans like myself. Lately guys like Pat McAfee has been giving hockey it's just due though so hopefully he can spearhead getting the sport on more mainstream shows.

One of my all timers

Bert Olmstead once asked him.? what color is our jersey? Eddie, said Blue. So Olmstead, said, when you see a blue sweater, do not hit it. lol

i remenber when he drove a dune buggy from La to Pittsburg. Saw him at a Toronto car show. a Showman.

Robert was briefly a Leaf,one more potential star tossed by the Leafs.

Fon-ti-nat-o. Imlach is pronounced with a hard c. Just the same,good piece.

1962-1963-1964

Please Joe . Get off the Streets now . The late Gino Odjeck wanted you in BC . So you can heal and be adopted in the Musquem tribe

This is gonna go to Rempe soon

Buff & Lucic were my favorite players. Give Rempe 3-4 years to fully grow into his body, get into his prime, add another 20+ lbs and he will be the next Buff. I can't wait!! LGR!!!!!

You still see folks wearing his jersey in Chicago and why wouldn’t you. My favorite was his hat trick during our cup run

great video-you got a new subscriber from me

Met Eddie at a VLT machine as he stole my pack of gum. He was with an Old Timer crew in Winnipeg and just hammered as his chaperons tried leading him out. He was pawing the lady helper who was most uncomfortable and kept brushing Eddie away. Not sure how he was the next day, told us he loved "Clear the Track"

Should have done a quick segment on Rick Jeannerete

Great player but overall, he was a piece of of shit. THAT is what’s keeping him out of the hall

I saw the title. I knew right away it was Eddie Shack. He was one of the most popular players on the team for the short time he was in Pittsburgh.

I thought ( from the title ) this was going to be about Gordie Howe!

Holy shit, would you get the fuck going?

This fucking intro is killing me

In Minnesota, I was on the Cedar Avenue Bridge heading south from Bloomington. Some clown in a corvette was purposely hanging in my blindspot. The car moved a little forward and it was Dino with a big grin on his face. I just mouthed "Dino" to him and smiled back. Dino is still a shrine in Minnesota. We loved him. Him vs Al Second and Dennis Savard. Dino would take on the world for the North Stars. Great player with heart. Those were fun years.
