1988 Sees Oilers Win Fourth in Five Years

[@drsalt328]

Man Gretzky and the Oilers is an interesting time to look back at. The GOAT takes his last cup though he would have added one more had Roy not been such a beast. But I wish I could watch the exciting games of this era.

[@nathanhall4327]

Dr Salt oilerfanatic is a great channel if you wanna see old oilers games from the 80s they also have videos of other teams to

[@PancakesAndHammers2426]

I can't get enough of this series. Onwards to 1989! I almost forgot congratulations Boston.

[@concerts4life100]

EDMONTON OILERS only lost 2 games in the entire 1988 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS; 1 loss to Winnipeg and 1 loss to Detroit.

[@JHockeyFan]

Modano wanted to play for his home team in his final season, making it sorta understandable that he played for Detroit.

[@danielsteigerwald26]

When i saw “BOS 4 MTL 1” I screamed! It’s about time...

[@justind3583]

until the year after lol

[@SverigeiSverige]

Gretzky sets new assist record in playoff, 19-12-31-43.

[@concerts4life100]

In 1987-1988 the NHL consisted of 21 teams in which 16 teams make the playoffs 🤔 In 2017-2018 the NHL has 31 teams and 16 teams make the playoffs. Food for thought

[@petercasnocha5340]

Pretty sure that will change

[@ghost_curse]

It makes a lot more sense now than it did in 87-88.

[@not2tees]

A beautiful series, Mr. Hockey Guy.

[@tonghale163]

After 45 years...... 45 years.Montreal already beat Boston 18 times in a row.But Boston finally beat Montreal in 5 games to snap that losing streak.FINALLY!!No one will beat that record ever again.

[@raheemgaines3518]

The most impressive Stanley Cup run I’ve seen in my time watching hockey

[@Lebby-lc9co]

Just think that 3 years after this, the North Stars and Penguins will be in the finals. crazy

[@CountElvis]

The Patrick had to set some kind of record that year for being close. Every single team would have been in the exact same spot if they had been put in any of the other divisions.

[@czarii2422]

The best dynasty in hockey

[@Lebby-lc9co]

Liam Neeson nah, have you seen the 1968-1979 Canadians, 8 cups in 12 years

[@czarii2422]

When I said best, I was referring to my favorite.

[@Lebby-lc9co]

Liam Neeson oh

[@czarii2422]

111highgh We all have our opinions, but I’m afraid what you said about the Canadiens is very wrong.

[@Lebby-lc9co]

111highgh no way any team today could beat the 1970s Canadians, that was the best hockey team ever built

[@tonttaana8930]

i think that this oiler team could finally played defense and part of it was Trading coffey wich had an impact!!, another thing i remember that during the finals mccsroley was put on a defense and he contined that rest of his career. keeping mind that marty was a forward.

[@gbtrat]

And I can't believe you didn't have a little mention for Jim Schoenfeld telling Don Koharski to have another donut!

[@watcher6935]

🎵 This is a time to remember, cause it will not last forever.🎵Billy Joel and the name of the VHS doc of the 88 playoffs. "A Time to Remember". The spring of pride and then summer broken hearted as shocked fan. 👍❤️

[@SverigeiSverige]

Gretzky sets new records for most assists and points in final series. 5-3-10-13

[@c71score]

Now I see why Edmonton traded Gretzky. The bum only won one award that year.

[@ozy75]

Did you read THN article that came out that same year as they parodied Hextall's goals and turned him into a scoring phenome? I remember reading it in high school

[@SverigeiSverige]

Håkan Loob 80-50-56-106 only swede to ever score 50G! Kenta Nilsson closest with 80-49-82-131 in -81, both a swede an Calgary point record.

[@adamwest8131]

great vid!

[@kevaninthe4135]

No honorable mention of the birth of the great "Have Another Doughnut" shout.

[@jasonfire3434]

Wasn't this the year of Jim Schoenfeld's "Have another donut!" tirade against Don Koharski?

[@davezarvan]

jasonfire34 yes it was!

[@jasonfire3434]

Dave Zarvan funniest angry coach moment in NHL history? Right up there with Torts/Brooksie

[@davezarvan]

jasonfire34 it's top 3 for sure. I'll put it with literally anything John Tortorella has done and Peter Laviolette's "Montreal typical" back in 2011-12 when he was in Philadelphia.

[@veritasinvicta8128]

You began watching hockey the same year I did, love this series, you know your shit!Btw, The Ises are the best dynasty in NHL history.

[@patch8376]

Further proof that the current playoff qualifying system, while not perfect, is good.

[@richcerasale8909]

the bruins were going to win game 4 in boston before the lights went out

[@michaelgriffiths8068]

Gretzky missed 16 games that year, which explains why he didn’t win the Art Ross & Hart (despite having by far the best PPG average during both the regular season and playoffs as usual).

[@aaronhaupert3015]

Wasn't Brad McCrimmon from Philly? I think I had one of his all-star sticker cards.

[@SverigeiSverige]

Aaron Haupert they traded him -87.

[@sportsrook8282]

Boston and Montreal is a bad matchup for Bost.....wait......

[@gymrat2647]

Wasn’t this year that the leafs lost 8-0 to the red wings at home during the playoffs if I remember correctly?

[@Tomten0]

You say you are over it Shannon, but are you really?

[@JoeBatson]

Minnesota was 19-48-13 you only had them playing 78 games lol

[@gbtrat]

Devils beat the Caps in that Game 7 with a John McLean goal with 4 minutes left in Game 7 >:(

[@Detector1977]

What a disgusting way playoff seedings worked in the 80s

[@JoeyJordison97]

😊

[@omegablack80214]

Hakken Loob haks a loogie

[@martinbernier6083]

The year I started hating Boston!!
