The fact he played against all stars every night and shut them out sans a mask light pads and modern equipment says it all. In his prime a pea couldnt get by him. Toe Blake was amazed by him . Also you could throw in Plante the great habs goalie.

@@ronmailloux8655 You are correct. All Sports when they had less than half the amount of Teams in the NHL, MLB, NBA, Etc that they have today were much tougher to win a Championship in.

Canada lost, but canadian spectators give standing ovations for the winner. That´s sport! Very kind.

[@jimturner4937]

Very unlike the Russian fans and players. Canada won 6-1 in 2015 World Championship and Ilya Kovalchuk pressured his players to leave the ice before the Canadian national anthem. That's a sleaze ball move and I despise that loser to this day.

+Pičus Kokotský oh wow all the way from CSSR u heard it on radio!. thanks for sharing the memory.

[@5inthehole]

Look at Orr; he is playing in great pain.Always sad watching these 76 CC games. Having watched Bobby Orr’s career in Boston, he was a ghost of what he use to be (still good though!).What happens to him is the reason why the NHL cleaned up the modern game. They knew Gretzky was coming and didn’t want to lose their greatest player to goons. For an old man, Bobby Hull still played well!

[@ronmailloux9370]

hull s last great yr...orrs too

[@ronmailloux8655]

Orr played in a different era started out in a 6 team league then 12...tougher game . Orr fought his own fights and went where Gretzky never did as he was a defense man

[@5inthehole]

@@ronmailloux9370 -It’s almost unforgivable that Chicago let Hull go in 1972. Just imagine how many cups Chicago might have won with Espo, Hull and Hodge playing with that team.

[@thomasleary2814]

@5inthehole Also Fred Stanfield, who anchored Boston's 2nd line and played on their power play in the early '70's. That trade was an absolute steal for the Bruins!

Интереснейший матч. Совсем не давали дру другу играть, зрелища с десятью голами в обе стороны не получилось. Но высокое напряжение держало мои глаза не отрываясь весь матч до последней секунды. СПАСИБО ОБОИМ КОМАНДАМ.

[@giveall9695]

Surprisingly, the commentators had quite accurate pronounciation of czech names... Also surprisingly, they commented "this classic match"... It is considered classic in Czechia even today...

[@budhaoneworld]

Yes

[@HowBrownPhiladelphia]

Jiri Holik is the uncle of former New Jersey Devils forward Bobby Holik. It might be just me, but the Czech team reminds me a lot of the NJ Devils back in 1995.

[@zHumanfactor]

I was so impressed by the Czech's passing and playmaking. I also was amazed by how well they did hip checks, an art that was lost in the NHL over the years.

[@ronmailloux8655]

Too many Teams in the nhl watered down. Lots of clutching and grabbing for players who really wouldnt have made it in a 6 or even 12 team format. Then in the 1970S and 80s selected allstars who were not a real team .Exception for the team Canada of 76 and at the end 72. The North American game is geared to hitting and tougher play and thats what most fans pay for. Ive seen two European teams play and yes nice passing etc. but like icecapades after a while on the big ice surface .

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

No, no, no! I loved the 71 Argos team and he was outstanding that year.

Thanks. I knew his son was playing ball but wasn't sure where. That would be something if he came up north and played for his dad's old team.

Hard to see Orr struggling with his knees , what could’ve been if modern medical procedures were available at that time

I forgot that the Stastny brothers were on the Czech team. Four years later they were skating with the Nordiques.

[@LeonardBerggren-oz6re]

On this team

[@buddha7178]

Peter Statsny would break the NHL points record for a rookie in 79-80 with 109 points

[@ronmailloux8655]

Thats very dubious . Gretzky should have won. They said because he played in the wha he was nt eligible . This is how the Nhl works Statsny was 5 years older and played in internationaly against men . The numbers for 99 wear 134 points tied for the scoring lead.

[@scrivener68]

@@ronmailloux8655 Speaking as an Edmontonian, I gotta say the NHL got it right. If you played for the Oilers in 1978-79, then you couldn't have been an Oilers rookie in 1979-80. Remember, it was a merger between the two leagues, ostensibly as equals. That said, if that is the NHL's view, then I think WHA stats should count toward career totals. Same with the ABA and NBA.

[@ronmailloux8655]

@@scrivener68 I think the NHL didnt want to acknowledge the WHA past present or future . The point you made about points in both leagues proves my point .

[@thomasleary2814]

@ronmailloux8655 You make a good point , but the NHL wasn't about to acknowledge the WHA in any way shape or form. The 1970's bidding wars were still fresh and the NHL knew they had the 4 merger teams (Hartford, Edmonton, Quebec and Winnipeg) over a barrel. They really got shafted and were basically treated as expansion teams (only allowed to protect 4 players, placed at the bottom of the '79 entry draft, etc.) Harry Sinden of the Bruins only voted for the merger after the Whalers agreed to be known as a "Hartford" team rather than the "New England" Whalers.

[@kindsir2734]

I would of like to see Orr and Robinson play as a unit. Orr would not need to do all the skating, Larry is very skilled too...and when he takes the man he hurts them a little. I think Bobby and Larry is the best defenceman pairing in history. Very few mistakes between them. Imagine if they were familiar with one another.

ron mailloux Everyone says they are bigger and faster. Henri Richard was smaller but one of the best players. They are faster but people think they are twice as fast. They are actually only slightly faster. From Netscape Can NHL All-Star Shea Weber beat the fastest slap-shot speed record of 118.3 MPH achieved by famed hockey legend Bobby Hull in the 1960s? So far Weber's fastest slap shot is an impressive 108.5 MPH, but much slower than Hull's reported speed.Jun 5, 2019
