Hockey A Peoples History Pt7

[@driverdad71]

The Summit Series '72, in my opinion, is hockey played at a level never seen before and will never be seen again. That much talent, playing with that much intensity, under those circumstances, CAN'T be duplicated. Amazing stuff.

[@pyatig]

I’d argue the 87 Canada Cup was even better

[@scottbinns318]

"The greatest offensive force in organized sports, in embryo." Wayne Gretzky at 11 years old. Fitting.

This is why I love Canada, no American diplomat would ever leap from their seat to contest a goal in a hockey game. And I'm an American.

[@flaccojoe]

Well if Russia claimed to be the "best in the world" at baseball, basketball or football I think you'd have at least one crazy diplomat stand up and contest a foul, or a touchdown lol. Not much of baseball or basketball guy. Absolutely love hockey and football. And love the Canadian-American relationship.

[@michellerosebrown]

Amen 🙏🏾🇺🇸✝️❤️

[@V-max97]

Flyers had Bernie best goalue in the game. He was the main reason why we won.

[@BobandRonsRecordClub]

Cant believe there's only three episodes left. I noticed that the view totals are slowly getting smaller. How could anyone stop watching after seeing the first few?

[@scottbinns318]

I agree. I think it rivals Ken Burns' "Baseball."

[@kenkunz1428]

as a Chicagoan and Blackhawk fan, I can tell you that the loss of Bobby Hull affected the Organization for many years to come.

[@michellerosebrown]

I am a Minnesotan and a newly Blackhawks fan and Bobby Hull was a legend during the Hawks heyday of their first Stanley Cup title in the early 1960s. A true Hall of Famer.

[@ace942]

There is a mistake with the film regarding the WHA. There were four teams that got into the NHL (Not three as mentioned in the film). The New England Whalers was the fourth team. They would change their names later to the Hartford Whalers. They would eventually change their name to the Carolina Hurricane and win the Stanley Cup in 1997. Only the Edmonton Oilers would be the only one of the 4 teams to keep their original name and city.

[@kenkunz1428]

You are correct, but the Narrator points out that three "Canadian" cities benefited by having their WHA teams join the NHL. This is a CBC documentary on Canadian hockey.

[@mooseguides]

Carolina won the cup in 2006 beating the Oilers in game 7. Not 1997. That was the Detroit Red Wings, after sweeping the Philadelphia Flyers.

[@ArmyofBulldogsProductions413]

If you pay attention he only mentions the Canadian teams that went on to the NHL he just neglects to mention New England cause this is a Canadian documentary and it is clearly very patriotic and Canadian focused , it is a Canadian program after all. Also he's right 1997 was the year The Whalers moved from Hartford to Carolina not the year they won the cup. Honest Mistake friend .

[@Leafshockeyftw]

this prooves without a doubed that Canada is the best hockey nation out there period

[@tomace194]

Until Trudeau.

[@louiejayce6691]

I realize I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released movies online ?

[@erikzahir5242]

@Louie Jayce flixportal xD

[@louiejayce6691]

@Erik Zahir thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!!

[@erikzahir5242]

@Louie Jayce Happy to help xD

[@marcpell133]

I love how the soviets tried so hard to sway the game in their favour but still lost 😂😂

[@MrBnmlord]

I've seen your posts on all the previous parts. This isn't "The History of Hockey". It's called "Hockey : A People's History" and is made by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (in case you wondered what "people" we're talking about). That should be a hint. This documentary follows the history of hockey in parallel with the history of Canada. If you haven't figured this out by part 7, then I can't help you.

[@ChrisLamia]

Tarasov wasn't merciless. Players loved him

[@foxygirl1977]

Here in America, it wasn't that popular though it was aired here in 1972.

[@MaximusWolfe]

exactly

[@HockeyFanatic154]

the Flyers were nothing but goons then, and nothing but goons now. the Flyers shouldn`t lose their day jobs.

[@MultiPetercool]

I love the Soviet swan dives!

[@pyatig]

Especially Kharlamov after the Clarke hit. Cope better

[@tylergroves9049]

Good on Phil to call out those people booing them. What a lousy trash thing to do. Don't boo your team. You support them no matter what. Hurricanes is a great example. When they get eliminated on home ice their fans cheer then in support regardless. This documentary is really exposing a smug stuck up attitude.

[@duke3196]

Hurricanes??😂😂 bottom 5 attendance regularly. They couldnt care less, thats why they cheer, win or lose, who cares right? 🙄

[@sonsoftexas]

I never realized that the Corner Gas booing speech was a tribute to Esposito. Learn something new every day.

[@MaximusWolfe]

oh WAIT! they mentioned an American team (the flyers) just long enough to condemn them as a pack of mindless goons. Wow, this is remarkably bad.

[@MultiPetercool]

Lady Byng died in Philadelphia. Old joke.

[@ratherBEaREDNECK]

Gonna go against the grain here and say I enjoyed the parts aboit female hockey as much as any other part of the series. And I am a 19 year old male btw.

[@Airportris]

wasn't the same team...72 was the summit series, and 1980 was when the Usa won. and the USA team was underrated, don't sell them so short.

[@cpharrison]

Did you miss the part about Title IX?

[@duke3196]

No mention of Bobby Orr???? He wasnt in the tournament. If he had been then it would have been different.....such is destiny though

[@hannover5551]

Right. Before there was the 72 summit series, Bobby Orr was changing & Dominating the game.

[@OMHPOZ82]

Why do they completely ignore the '74 Summit Series? Just ignoring something, doesn't mean it never happened.

[@berryscott3590]

WHA... not quite the same...

[@duke3196]

Too much with the womens hockey stuff, nobody cares, but its CBC so theres no surprise there. Other than when they randomly throw in pointless womens hockey stories, its a great docu series🇨🇦🏆✌️

[@HockeyFanatic154]

i know the Whalers were one of the best. how could you not mention them?

[@ECWnWWF]

Prediction ... this series will end with 1993.... when the last Canadian based franchise wins the Stanley Cup and Gary Bettman starts shipping Canadian Teams to the South.....(and I know .. some Canadian will reply to this and say "but 80% of the NHL are Canadian, so "Canadians" win the Stanley Cup every year)

[@highlandboss01]

GoCanucksGo that was carolina..

[@highlandboss01]

GoCanucksGo alright sorry,my fault

[@tonygambino5905]

51.5% of the NHL is Canadian.

[@Airportris]

Canadian Pros didn't play in those Olympics either, and I bet you if they did, with the players of that era, Russia probably would of lost... my opinion

[@howardcraigiv518]

The USSR would of did anything to win Game 8. Everyone knows that Hockey is Canada’s Sport. They invented the Game of Hockey in their Home Country. The Sport was created to bring Canadians together as 1. Only here in the United States of America Hockey is not viewed as 1 of the Top 3 Professional Sports. It is mind blowing. I played the sport throughout my life along with many other sports and Hockey hands down is the hardest most grueling Sport of them all, next to MMA and Boxing

[@mwkmn]

The narration clearly says "three CANADIAN cities emerge as winners..." so technically there's no fuckup like you suggest. It's a show aired in Canada, and as such it focuses on Canadian cities and events and admittedly overlooks all else. Not saying if it's good or bad, just how it is.

[@joeymaterese8095]

Actually for the size and the amount of quality players you'd have to say Sweden

[@berryscott3590]

Yeah Swedes certainly have run rampant over the world junior ah... hmmm....never-mind

[@EvanMidford]

Yeah and were arguably the best country to live in the world, maybe you should stop hating and start taking notes

[@edaaaaaaaaarz]

Soviets all the way

[@fentonhardy8176]

A Dumb Commie!

[@bach5861]

Russians made 3 BIG mistakes before superseia-72 #1: Coaches: Bobrov & Kulagin instead of Chernyshov & Tarasov #2: Trio Mikhailov-Petrov-Kharlamov has been broken #3: A. Firsov -- player the same caliber as Kharlamov -- didn't play.

[@duke3196]

...and Bobby Orr, the greatest of his era didnt play.....and Bobby Hull...kind of a good player too.....nobody talks about that. This series would have been a hell of alot more slanted if the 2 bobbys were playing 🇨🇦🏆

[@Theo-hc5ob]

Phil Esposito: The Godfather of Hockey. He looks like a 70's New York City Don! God Love him! But WAIT a minute: I have watched through E V E R Y playing of this series, up to now, and haven't seen ANYTHING about the Greatest Hockey player EVER, whether Canadian, from the US, European, Russian, what ever. Ask Don Cherry who the Greatest Hockey player was? And this, all well thought out and well explained; with so many more facts that I haven't known, Leaves out any mention of the Greatest Hockey player (ask Don Cherry, again): a Canadian, from Parry Sound, Ontario. Really? You want all of this to be taken seriously? You leave off Robert Gordon FREAKING Orr and you want me to watch anything more? D O N E ! ! ! You are HOSERS!

[@Airportris]

"Bradford beats texas 25-0"... lol that's hilarious..texas is a state and Bradford is a town at the time with a population of like 50,000

[@berryscott3590]

Brantford....Brantford

[@bb-gc2tx]

the 1972 russian and canada teams the 1950s and 1970s canadiens the 1980s oilers none of them are better than the greatest team in the history of hockey the 1980-84 islanders

[@svaksmeta]

Bad guys vs the good guys??? Facepalm.

[@ArmyofBulldogsProductions413]

I'm really enjoying this documentary so far but I have to say its favoritism or down right bias to Canadian patriotism over the full story of the NHL and WHA is laughable. There is almost no mention of the Bruins, Red Wings, Blackhawks, or Rangers success at all .Any time its not the Canadians or the Maple Leafs winning the cup its basically unmentioned and the focus goes to other topics of the time. I mean they didn't even mention the New England Whalers entering the NHL, but mentioned the other 3 Canadian teams. Also to down right act like the 70's more violent aspect of the game is a black eye on the history of the league and to basically straight up put down the flyers and their cup wins (I HATE the Flyers but give credit where credit is do.) is laughable. The game has a history of violence and it was arguably never more popular than at this time. It is a time that many people long for and its treated like the red headed step child aspect of the game in this doc . Overall this Doc is very good , and I know you can't tell a 100+ year history in 10 45 minute episodes without missing a few things and I know this is a Canadian program, but the obvious favoritism and bias to all things Canadian and outright ignoring of everything else is pretty annoying. On to part 8 :).

[@StonedSpagooter]

now you know how we feel about america 24/7

[@stabbingwithpen]

by episode 7 you should of grasped that this is a documentary about Canadians, Canada, Hockey, and that's about all... you might want to move on to a different documentary, yer pretty much yelling at the ocean here

[@MrLucasD123]

"They lost to a American team in Minnesota"... yeah, we kick ass at hockey. We know. #StateOfHockey

[@MultiPetercool]

Lady Byng died in Philadelphia. Old joke.

[@Mrmeanygreeny]

Yeah screw the flyers! Even though they were the only NHL team to beat the Red Army hockey team... In 1976... the same year that the Canadiens beat them... And the entire NHL was rooting for these “goons” because none of them could beat the soviet team... This is kinda hypocritical not gonna lie

[@berryscott3590]

Red Army was out shot something like 47-13, by Philthy... Montreal out shot them almost as badly... although the game ended 3-3

[@schmingusss]

At around the time Canada narrowly beat an upstart Russian hockey team, causing Canadians to beat their collective chests...the Americans were finishing up their last moon landings. MOON LANDINGS!!! Now THAT is an accomplishment worthy of chest beating!!! And yes, I'm Canadian and embarrassed that THIS is all we ever talk about here in this country...some shitty tournament that we narrowly won almost fifty years ago. Big friggin whoop.

[@stabbingwithpen]

then go watch a moon documentary bud

[@duke3196]

What moon landing??? Oh the sound stage stuff...very impressive

[@MaximusWolfe]
