Hockey A Peoples History Pt6

[@robertbreedon9137]

I was born two weeks after the Leaf's last cup win been waiting 54 yrs to see it again. I am die hard Leaf's fan I think I will drop dead if I ever see them win a cup in my lifetime.

[@duke3196]

Its on the horizon brother👍🏽 with Auston & Mitch, its on the horizon🌅

[@alvinweaver1450]

My grandma was a Cubs fan for 90 years and watched Cubs win a WS and passed away a year later. I as a Cards fan rooted for Cubs so my mom and grandma could atleast see one, now I'll never root for them again

[@billc756]

Just stumbled on this series after typing "History of Hockey", I am glad i did. This is very interesting! THANK YOU!

[@phillcash2542]

this is a history of canada lol

[@MaximusWolfe]

ooh, they mentioned Bobby Hull, great insights!

[@bertvanvliet125]

GREAT SERIES FOR A HOCKEY FAN IN THE NETHERLANDS, COME ON U HABS

[@DazzleQuality]

I'm a fellow hockey fan in the Netherlands 😊

[@paladin313]

I most certainly hope that is not all we get to see of Bobby Orr! Certainly one of the greatest two players ever to play the game deserves more than a few minutes mention!

[@fentonhardy8176]

No he is the Greatest ever, Howe is the Only man as great.

[@zainewalker3181]

"Canada's Hockey Dads" got me choked up. That support ✊

[@ace942]

That was cool to include table top hockey. I have not seen one of those things in years. I also hope that the Toronto Maple Leafs win the cup sometime soon. Not having won since 1967, it has been too long between cups.

[@robertbreedon9137]

I got a table top hockey game for Christmas when I was 9. Never got to play it that Christmas as my Dad and Uncle played it all day great memories.

[@GeoffreyChilesTV]

Understatement of…forever lol. And let’s go Red Wings!

[@andrewr7982]

Tim Hortons famous Canadian coffee.

[@dcbandnerd]

To be fair, this was originally broadcasted on Canadian TV and was meant to show hockey as a national game in Canada. Ken Burns' Baseball mini-series didn't talk about Canadian franchises much and didn't even discuss at length baseball's popularity in East Asia and Latin America.

[@stevep8445]

But those topics were at least touched upon. This documentary is incomplete

[@aloysiusdevadanderabercrom6401]

Leroy Peach used to come to our school a couple times a year to chat to the class in Albert Bridge, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.....didnt kno he would be in this, lol small world

[@TheNathanScot]

This documentary is not linear. It's so random... There's no narrative, just anecdotes

[@RudeboyGroot]

Don Mills Satan’s Angels?!?! What a fantastic team name. Especially playing against Dairy Maidens & the like!!!

[@simonmarshall19]

Jean Beliveau is the first ever Conn Smythe Trophy winner

[@az0963818]

They have been talking about American teams and the series isn't over yet. You can't get mad at the fact that most of this is featured on Canadian history because it is CANADA'S GAME! Lol, sorry to come off rude, but where do you actually think this game came from? Canada did a little more than just "invent" the game, there is also a whole history behind it, and most of which revolves around our country.

[@Joscope]

Nobody in the US that I know would even care but I know this. If the NHL hadn’t expanded to all the great cities in the US after the original 4 here and offered all the great Canadian players places to play at the highest professional level, Canadian hockey would have been left in the dust. You look at the strike shortened years and where the players mostly decided to play to keep active, it sure wasn’t Canada. You all owe the US a huge debt for fueling the engine that made the NHL by far the worlds greatest hockey league. It.only continues to be “your game” because we in the US have made that possible! If it wasn’t for the USA forming the backbone of the business of NHL hockey Canadian hockey becomes English soccer, the world passes by the country that invented the game. Don’t ever under appreciate one of the pillars of Canada’s continued hockey dominance, its popularity south of the border. Without Philly and St Louis and Nashville and Columbus and all the others where do all the top Canadians go to play? Kitchener and Hamilton and Regina?? WHA isn’t coming back and failed for a reason.

[@stonepunisher]

@@Joscope just stumbled on this... 😊 I get your point.... Regardless Canadian hockey is fine on its own... That's the very reason why it's called NHL... Thus the adjective "national" in the league's name... That was discussed when Boston wants to join... But to promote hockey, for the love of sport United States of America was allowed to join NHL...and us Canadians we are glad that other neighbouring countries shares our passion so we share our players too...

[@Oreo13]

who else has to watch this for a assignment

[@mjwatts1983]

41:00 1967 *STILL* remains the last time the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Cup A review of their half-century of failure kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGbNZ6Zjj75mo7s

[@stevep8445]

Can't believe they did not touch on expansion for the 1967-68 season. I mean, the NHL doubled in size and that doesn't even get a mention?

[@bowlingaz]

Have you seen the documentary on the 67 expansion?

[@wiedep]

Economic engine... until the PQ drove that to Toronto.

[@thelmachristian3138]

Remember the days in america, and Canada, when you could attend a parade of 50,000 people and have fun, and feel safe, and no gun shots, fights, rapes, murders, or the like was taking place? No bombs. Just celebrating and having fun. Those days are LONG GONE! Sad, isn't it? Anyhow, try to take care of one another, be kind to animals, and hockey on, eh?

[@D33Lux]

We can thank Pierre trudeau, feminism, political correctness and multi-culturalism from African and Middle eastern country's for the down fall of North America (Canada and United States) Noticed none of those things existed during that time.

[@ghl3186]

countries*

[@stevep8445]

That stuff happened, we just didn't hear about it. Now with social media, 24 hr news channels, internet etc etc we hear about it as soon as it happens.

[@jacknakash2677]

So back in the day at Maple Leaf Gardens one couldn't buy and/or consume a beer but one could buy a pack of cigarettes and smoke it up at the Gardens LOL 😂😂😂🚬⚰️🚬⚰️🍻

[@tylergroves9049]

It's this a history of hockey or just a history of Canadian hockey?

[@robertbreedon9137]

Hockey is Canada

[@AllyStrikesBack]

Yes

[@COSMOKRAT_616]

Typical Leafs fans lmao maybe one day, you'll win another playoff series if you keep telling everyone how great you are. The worst part is that i have a soft spot for the blue and respect the history of the team. I just wish the fans weren't so insufferable. The NHL is better when the Leafs make it through the playoffs.

[@jreiland07]

The Bruins have been torturing the Leafs for decades. All those playoff series wins AND they took Bobby Orr from under their noses.

[@MaximusWolfe]

nothing about American teams, fans or entrepreneurs, but hey at least we get the whole female hockey saga. Unbelievable.

[@trk4973]

Maximus Wolfe this series was originally broadcasted in Canada so don't expect them to say anything about U.S. hockey, this is about Canada's hockey history.

[@fentonhardy8176]

Too much talk of Womens hockey. Talk about the Real hockey the mens hockey.

[@michaeleast4979]

Fenton Hardy that was sexist

[@fentonhardy8176]

Elemental Elite I really don't care, our society is way too politically correct.

[@mooseguides]

It has NOTHING to do with political correctness. This isn't a documentary about LGBT, it's a documentary about hockey in CANADA. Women's hockey is a thing here and it's not stopping anytime soon. USA has a good women's team as well. They usually get silver in the Olympics. This isn't an NHL documentary.

[@fentonhardy8176]

Women's hockey is boring, no hitting, no fun to watch.

[@keegan7ThatMe]

Doesn't mean it not part of the history....are you really that closed minded that you can't see that? There are some parts of history that are boring but that does not mean it can't be talked about.

[@christenandersen65]

Such a concerted effort to bury the memory of Doug Harvey in this series. The man ranked behind only Bobby Orr as a defenceman. You can see Orr saying his name as a defenceman he admired. To bury his memory is disgusting.
