Nobody remembers #2…

In the 1950s, the red wings played an outdoor exhibition game in a prison, on a rink that was built by some of the inmates.

Poor Dave Reese. 😂 to be remembered this way.

There's a lot of people in this thread who are pining back to an era that almost killed hockey entirely. That's because most of them probably only started watching when they got to the conference finals. An average hockey game that didn't involve your team became unbearable to watch basically if one team got a two-goal lead, it was over, it was soccer on ice. Teams would literally park the bus the same exact way. No forechecking, no flow of play, and if you did decide to carry the puck in guys like Scott Stevens would simply take your head off for even trying. 20 shots in a game was considered to be a good amount most playoff game one had about 30 shots total for both teams...it was horrible hockey to watch.

I miss the OG name and logo

Dude, you said Ducks fans booed alfredson every time he touched the puck but don't explain why? His sore loser ass shot the puck at Niedermayer. ON PURPOSE.

love it

“I don’t like the taste of water.” Brilliant. He’s the Spaceman Bill Lee of hockey.

Glen Hall, then Tony Esposito, not Roy, introduced the butterfly. And Dom, Marty, and Vasilevskiy were better.

I remember going to watch Danny play in juniors with Calgary. They all had the Eminem bleach blonde hair and it was guaranteed that you would see Danny score and about 10 fights in one came. Especially when the Royals played the Canucks

There were definite pros and cons to this era of hockey, the league expanded so much and allowed so many new players a chance to play in the NHL or allowed lesser known players the chance to shine on one of the new teams. I still feel that way about expansion it's fun to see a new team and fresh new players come into the league. Defense being more of a focus was not a bad thing infact I think teams today could stand to recapture some of that focus on defense. Not to the point of it dominiating again but more of a balance between defense and speed. That said this is also the era with the most amount of star derailing concussions and most of the time players like Stevens would'nt even get called on it even though it was obvious he had no intention of playing the puck and every intention to seriously hurt someone. That definetly needed to change NO player deserves to feel as though they might get killed for playing a simple game of Hockey or for scoring a damn goal. I'm not against enforcers being in the league but there needs to be a boundary for what players are allowed to do and while still not perfect I'm glad player safety is more of a concern these days. As much as I love the Kariya goal against New Jersey and always will, it is very likely coming back to play helped pile up the consequences to his health. To sum it up I'll always appreciate this era for one introducing my favorite team in the league and for some of the amazing players it created. However I'm glad we've moved forward from that era

Of course the Leafs player who gambled on hockey got reinstated after 15 days, while the Bruins and Rangers guys got suspended for life for doing the same thing 😂 Some things never change 2:00

Truly pathetic I don't get to watch this man speak his mind while enjoying a good ol' fashioned hockey game. PUT this leader back on so someone with brains can call the mastery of what we're viewing.

Rick Macleish of the Philadelphia Flyers had his neck sliced open. He survived, but it was scary to witness.

Gretzky the best hockey player of all time, but he was a terrible coach and made too much stupid decisions, also don't forget his time in PHOENIX was terrible too....

You talk like you're reading a script, which you are doing. Put more emphasize your words, this ain't a school project.

What about that player who's neck was sliced opened and died too ?

Props to Andy Brown for finishing his career without a mask. He also played 3 maskless years with the Racers in the WHA after he was done with the Penguins in '74

I’m the luckiest guy in the world to be a penguins fan and this guy is such a big reason why, my goat.

Hextall wore a muzzle instead of a regular goalie mask and was kept in a cage between games.

Before puck was pussified

What breath taking corruption. The NHL needed an investor who loves hockey. The local governments in Arizona share some of the blame for not being able to ever have a bowel movement on this treasure that they allowed to slip through their hands. A shame for hockey fans in Arizona.

Flames are going to meet Edmonton this year and win this time. Bold statement but it could happen

I started watching hockey in the '94 playoffs. It was nostalgic, but the lack of offense was not ideal and I'm glad the game has changed to eliminate the clutching and grabbing. The highlighted puck with Fox was fun I remember thinking as a kid.

Ah yes the 80s when flames games regular season and playoffs were actually affordable so unless yr parents have dam good incomes family's r left screwed going to the dome to c the flames play cuz of the absolutely ridiculously high out of control player contracts which has me losing interest in nhl hockey more and more and having anti Canadian commissioner gary butthead doing everything he can to make sure not Canadian teams have a chance at winning the Stanley cup!!!!!!

Wow. Never knew any of this shit! Get this guy on SPITTIN CHICLETS ASAP! THE REAR ADMIRAL MIGHT HAVE A MATCH AND BRING SOME NEW ANGLES TO THE SHOW ! Let’s face it ! You boys need a FACELIFT. SHIT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET OLD😂😂😂😂😂😂🇨🇦

As a young radio newsman in the early 1980s, I supplied soundbites from the winner and loser locker rooms to both AP and UPI audio for certain Whaler home games. As a journeyman in radio, and traveling an hour to get to Hartford from the Mystic area, this was a fun gig. Eventually I was given a seat by the visiting radio broadcast crew near center ice at the top of the bowl. I met and regularly spoke with Gordie Howe and had the pleasure to interview Ron Francis, Ray Ferraro and Kevin Dineen. A great time in my life for sure. And I will never forget the iconic Brass Bonanza! My son and I whistle it to this day. Thanks for the memories!

You know, nowadays, they could just make pucks with built in LEDs, right?

yes

I grew up on this era so like most of it. I want the fighting back instead of the cheap shots of now.

Gretzky & McDavid shills for sports gambling - disgusting. G

what do i remember about the 'dead puck era'? i remember the best hockey i've ever watched!

I'm betting you remember that era fondly because you grew up or came to age in that era Having grown up playing in the 80, watching the 70s, and all after, that era is COMPLETE garbage I was playing juniors and couldn't bring myself to watch games It was BEYOND boring, with horrible officiating, awful systems coming to the fore as a result, star players being assaulted, & goalies with no talent rising to the top PURELY on equipment size That era needs to be dead and buried permanently, as someone who thinks the current game is tilted too heavily towards non-contact The neutral zone needs to be truly neutral, with icing moved back to D blue line, PPs the FULL 2 minutes no matter how many goals scored, & net size increased. Then, allow more P2P contact again, unpenalized.

Move the Arizona Coyotes back to Winnipeg!

Can’t stand Edmonton.

People forget, but he also made a crucial save in OT in the final game of the 2010 Olympics, just moments before Crosby scored the golden goal. He may not have won the Cup, but he did win Olympic gold in the very house of the Canucks

Nice guy and good goalie but a good save percentage isn’t going to cut it. You’ll also notice decent goalies and weak teams almost always have good save percentages. Lots of shots doesn’t mean quality saves.

No white people working in tim Hortons anymore thats racist

There are not alot of guys that impress me but out of the gate I knew I had to keep tabs on Phil beware the big guy that can move . I would have liked to see Phil be more physical out there as far as being more of a presence. But he didn't have to he would just get goals when his team needed them . Every team needs a guy like him on it . 3x Stanley cup champion , he should be in the hall , it wasn't for lack of trying

Carrier qui laisse la passe( volontairement ou pas) de Newhook passé entre ses jambes et ce rendre a Laine. Ca me rappel un certain but de team Canada, entre 2001 ou 2002 je crois , la " phantom pass" de Lemieux. Passe de Pronger, Lemieux la laisse passer et Kariya score.

as brilliant as marty brodeur was, a part of me thinks he should've had it in 2007 tbh.

Its nothing but criminal how Roberto Luongo NEVER won a single Vezina Trophy in his entire 19 year NHL career (!) Just the all-time 4th most winning goaltender combined with having 2nd most NHL games played in-front of the pipes in NHL history... He was- and still is one of the very best goalies to play the game and while he was a finalist for several awards, including the Vezina Trophy as the league's best goaltender (2004, 2007, and 2011), the Lester B. Pearson Award as the top player voted by his peers (2004 and 2007), and the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league's most valuable player (2007) he never recied any. Sure losing 2004 and 2007 Vezina to HOF Martin Brodeur is what it is...but 2007 was a year Luongo arguably was sharper. Important to note with what made Roberto Luongo so great is he accomplished his wins and stats playing on several weaker teams, where Canucks era was his strongest team years. At least Luongo had his share of championships with Team Canada; winning 2x Olympic gold medals in 2010 & 2014 + 2x IIHF World championship gold medals in 2003 & 2004 + World Cup gold medal 2004.

In short, he sucks

Crazy how Milbury could have had a team with Luongo, Jokinen, Spezza, and Chara in the early 00’s and traded it for Yashin and spare parts

Love your content man!!!

2004: Florida was a small market team so he lost 2007: he ties the goalie wins record the year Marty Brodeur breaks it Just so unlucky

Lundqvist?

Cause he’s always been criminally underrated

Can't wait to find this info out , you must have inside information from teams , coaches and trainers !!!! Can't wait to hear all the gossip ...... wait stats and play of others is your go to ??? Is this a video on Beodeur or Luongo ?

This content is literally peak why is this channel not more popular?
