"Holy Makarov"? If you're referring to the post goal phrase coined by the iconic Jim Bowen (Maple Leafs play by play guy), it's "Holy Mackinaw"...Makarov was great, but "Holy Makarov" was never a well-used phrase...get your research together, bro

Wow keep searching. B's had a fantastic playoff and Stanley cup championship. The media doesn't wear skates.

The Rome hit got what it deserved. Late hit, Shoulder on head, Significant injury, don't be a homer.

Even though this video makes valid points, from a neutral's perspective, you sound essentially like the salty fan of a losing franchise. It's a tough look

Rome jumped in and hit his shoulder straight at Hortons head. Yes, that suspension was mild. He ended Hortons career more or less.

I was pulling for Van as a lifelong Flames fan

Learn to say the names for christ sakes

71games/88pts vs actual 71games/84pts.... 4pts means he was "gassing himself up" and "the entire book should be recalled"? why is this such a big deal? what am i missing?

And The Fact Trevor Linden Came Back To Retire As A Canuck

We could have had Wayne Gretzky. He's nothing but class. Botched negotiations. Instead we got this washed out egomaniac and the management/ownership group gave him the city on a silver platter. 25 years later and Messier is still hated in Vancouver and Trevor Linden is royalty. It was a terrible decision by ownership. The Messier/Keenan was a dark era in history I still shutter to think about.

Boychuk's hit on Raymond was one of the dirtiest hits I've seen in a SCF and when it went unpunished I knew the NHL wanted the Bruins to win the cup

Canada has already made it perfectly clear. They have no interest in taking young guys only old players with recognizable names.

This video is awful. My goodnes do you suffer from a skewed point of view and sour grapes. They lost because a more durable team with a superior goalie beat them. Thanks for the laugh. Move on.

the linden trade was great for vancouver they got 3 great players for a player on decline. I think 11 is an ass but you see the players had career years playing with him that tells me he raised their game so you have give credit to messier for that.

1) Boston is the 5th largest market in the NHL and Vancouver is the 10th largest. 2) Rome's hit was dirty, but not egregious. At best, worthy of a 1 game suspension" 3) Boston didn't have much of a finesse game, so they had to be physical and it paid off for them as the Sedins, while very talented, were soft.

So many players no longer want to play for Canada why the fans are brutal, ruthless making comments about players families and in Montreal actually stopping by players homes and leaving disrespectful notes in the mailbox

If they believe Thomass used illegal goalie pads, the fact that the Vancouver Goalie didn’t notice it just goes to show you they probably were legal, but he had difficulty stopping the puck. I don’t think he was aware and I don’t think it was focused enough of that series.

Vancouver stabbed so many players in the back that you can’t have any sympathy for them how they treated bure. How they pumped players with pain medication while they were hurt. To how they let Mark Messier add iron mike destroy the culture

"Czechs park the bus?", "Czechs were just happy to be there". What? Lol. Shoots on goal CZE 29 : CAN 25. Czech was all the match better team than Canada.

I’ve had conversations with players and referees and they all stated the NHL is a typical old boys club.

The Canucks should have handled the number situation, it's their team. You either get it done or take the blame.

“Czechs were happy to be there” What, lol? The year after Nagano 1998, we won three world championships in a row in 1999, 2000 and 2001, our national hockey team was literally unbeatable in those years.

Low key brodeur getting a taste of his own medicine against the Swiss was so bittersweet for me as a Canadian. It was sweet that he got a taste of devils hockey that made the rest of the league HATE them from the 90’s to the early 2000’s. But then at the same time bitter because we lost to the fucking Swiss lmao

I actually still have a facebook post that pops up on the anniversary of me shitting on the refs and media through this series, and I was one of those neutrals turned against Vancouver after the Burrows bitting nonsense. I literally listen to games on mute now, because I watched games where Garry Galley was blatantly lying on multiple replays he would talk about, but the Ioser he was working with wouldn’t call him on it 😂 The absolute worst thing about the NHL is the refe putting away their whistles. Pronger got away with murder in 07, the Bruins got away with murder in this series, and LA got away with murder in one of their cup wins. It turned me off watching other than my own team almost entirely.

Who do you guys think will win this years prestigious Mark Messier Leadership Award? :)

At least they did not lose to Latvia.

The Canucks got outplayed, out-hustled and the Bruins were a much more aggressive, gritty team. And Tim Thomas was a beast. All I hear are excuses. You act like the Bruins didn’t overcome any hardships.

count the rings on messier's hands, then count the rings he has as a captain, now count the rings on lindin's hands, they would have won with messier had they played and followed him but he was asking too too much of them, you see messier was not a nice person, but he was a great team mate as long as you listened, tied hard and learned how to win

lmao a little too much effort was put into this video you need to fucking relax, the better team won as is the case in every single finals. Take the tinfoil hat off and do something better with your time other than trying to push a 13 year old conspiracy narrative. This video is actually pathetic

I don't think it's accurate to talk about how many points these players ended up with in 2005-06 considering the Olympics were in February, they just had a season locked out, and only had a few months to evaluate talent. You need to look at how they did by December 20th, when they finalized the team. For example, Todd Bertuzzi's +/- rating was only at -1 at that point so it didn't factor in.

boo hoo Iron Mike coached in the league for a long time for a reason

Every stanley cup winner after the cap was introduced cheated to win. The most common way was putting players on waivers and when you made playoffs bring them up and be over sakary cap and pay the fine after yiu win the cup

I am fu...ng tired of these stupid references to GULAG and bloody KGB. I even quit watching this video and left the channel.

I stopped watching the Olympics ages ago, so I didn't care who won. Also, there were players on the team that I hated, namely Gretzky and Lindros, so that would've only been more incentive to not cheer for them.

Jesus you are some whiny hhahaha holy Christ hahah

A coach deciding to use 5 players in a shootout for whatever reason hardly constitutes the “benching” label. It may have been a right decision or a wrong decision or a questionable decision but it was simply a decision and not a benching of the 13 players who were not chosen.

we finnish devils fans hates him too.......but we hate jarkko ruutu and jyrki lumme too

Finland overwalked this team and showed that it does not matter how many names you have in your team it cant never beat a TEAM

Uhhhh… pretty sure that the U.S. would have been the premier hockey power going into this series in ‘81, since they kicked those pinko, Commie, bastards asses in the 80 Olympics. Canada didn’t even medal in those games. USA! USA! USA!

Love your videos, but jesus christ this is just copium at it’s best, blaming the media for their loss is fucking crazy. Vancouver shit the bed when it mattered the most, and that’s the only reason they lost. Not because CBC and a bunch of other fanbases were being mean to them.

Marchand and Bergeron were the reason Vancouver lost game 7. They were god damn incredible.

Keenan reminds me of this loser foreman I once had, till I got him fired😅

BuT PaUL heNdErSOn

You can describe this video in one word: Salty 😂

Classic north american approach. National team = Best scoring players. Canada 2006 olympic roster was a bit questionable to be honest 😄

Management and ownership have ALWAYS been the problem in Vancouver ya baby

How many cups have the Canucks won? How many did messier win? Sore losers LMFAO

Saltiest video I’ve ever seen 😂😂

Gretzky in his book, said about this game: "My performance was so terrible I deserved go to GULAG jail in Siberia. My wings, Lafleur and Dionne was flying arround me like arround traffic sign."
