NHL "Handshake" Moments

[ChiefBlue4298]

Teemu Selanne and J.S. Giguere will always be a heartfelt hockey moment

[Chris Laverick]

Sorry but what was the story behind this? Ex teamates?

[ChiefBlue4298]

@Chris Laverick yeah

[Danny Bourdeau]

@Chris Laverick Thats the goalie that give him the stanley cup!

[ukkelis kukkelis]

@Chris Laverick As Danny said, they won the cup together in 2007 for Anaheim

[TwinsGamer]

I adore the people of Canada من

[InMotionForAMillion]

Selanne going over, finding Giguère, and bringing him around the ice with him...wow, what a moment. Classy AF gesture from Selanne.

[Sterling Staublein]

Why did selanne retire twice tho? Not enough fanfare first time?

[4orrcountry]

@Sterling Staublein Injuries.

[GuitarQueero1]

Lucic: is a baby in the handshake lineup Also Lucic: "if he wants to be a baby about it"

[The Truth Hurts]

You don’t shake hands Dale Wuss and Emlen or whatever the hell his name is. You only shake hands with people you respect. If you hate him why be a hypocrite and pretend to wish him good luck in the next round.

[Andrew Collins]

@The Truth Hurts you shake everyone's hand because it shows respect and also what type of man you are! So we now know what type of man you are saying that shit lol!!

[Andrew Collins]

I agree Lucic is a big baby and he's got no class whatsoever, what's sad is he makes so much money and can't act appropriately in the NHL.

[The Truth Hurts]

@Andrew Collins yeah ok Ted cruz. You should also play with sportsmanship and if another player treats me like a subhuman on the ice you can bet your life I ain’t gonna pretend to let bygones be bygones and shake hands. The people that pretend and shake hands are hypocrites. For example If a player says some harsh things about your family and you shake his hand 3 hours later than you are a spineless idiot.

[Andrew Collins]

@The Truth Hurts well I guess I'm more of a positive person then you 😊, if you knew anything about hockey, what happenes on the ice stays on the ice so at the end all beef is suppose to be squished, so I'll say it again he's a baby with no character and you my friend are a very nagative person, goodluck in life with that attitude 😊😊

[Tom Wolf]

Selanne and Giguere... what a moment! sportsmanship, respect, and love for hockey!

[4orrcountry]

More like love for each other - longtime Ducks who won the Cup in 2007: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Stanley_Cup_Finals

[Caleb]

The Ryan smith moment always tears me up. What a Canadian legend. It was so sad seeing him skate off the ice for the last time

[Piel De Gallina]

Why did he retire? 😢

[Suffering forever]

I will never forget those years, especially that 05-06 playoff run. Magical. I was living in Calgary at the time and, despite being bitter rivals of the Flames, the Oilers had so much support in the city. They had the support of the entire nation from coast to coast. They were going to win it, how could they not after what they had been through? Then Rollie got injured. And the refs were trash.

[Kody Skwarchuk]

He had played in the league for almost 20 years. He should have stayed in LA for one more year 😭

[Arson Aardvark]

Always love to see Milan Lucic in the losing handshake line.

[Gary Blanchard]

Lucia punched his own ticket out of Bosom with those classless gestures

[Ryan Fiore]

Crosby and Karlsson after beating the Sens in 2017 and Karlsson said “Go get another one.” Mad respect for him

[Josh]

Selanne and Smyth final game i will always remember. Two of the games hardest working guys. Most respected. Played the game the right way! 😭

[ManitobaAngler]

I remember watchin smyttys last game. I definitely was cutting onions watching the end of my childhood hero

[Rob-Roy MacNaughton]

I remember Smitty after his last game and just watching these clips brings back the yearning😭 for him to stay and always be an Oiler. Yes I know it's silly but who doesn't wannt to see him battling in the crease??!

[Agabatia]

selanne is lazy af 🤣

[Tristin Miller]

Quite a few players and teams don't really get along, But there is a lot more respect in hockey than people think. I love this game!

[Amy Peterson]

Going through the handshake line as the losing team has to be the hardest thing in sports. I like it when the winning team keeps their initial celebration brief so as to keep the losing team from waiting around too long. Hockey players are the best.

[Avs Rock]

Yes they are.... well 98% of them.... best % ratio of, well everything, lol.... if more people where like hockey players the world would be a great place.....

[Gary Blanchard]

And hockey is still the only sport that does it

[Swyzzl]

hearing frank corrado tell ryan smyth "hey I met you when I was 10 at sorrentinos" will always be my favorite

[LaceChaser]

The 10 years I played hockey, 3 were in goal and I will tell you right now those were the hardest handshakes I’ve given in my entire life. Lost an entire tournament to some random pop up team from across the country that was insanely skilled and beat up my team while I had to watch. That shit still eats me up.

[ROSS]

Selanne and Giguere gives me chills man, what a moment

[Ronnie Gladue]

I remember years ago going to an Oilers Anaheim game in Edmonton,Selanne was injured but in his suit he came down to the bench at both intermissions and signed sticks.and whatever for the kids,class act always was and will be one of my favorites.

[FathomMane]

Thats fucking dedication... Im proud to be an Oilers fan... Well despite the fact that im in NY

[Monk]

I'm pretty sure it happened after this video was made, but as a Wild fan it was awesome to see the Wild organization pay tribute to Patrick Marleau tying Gordie Howe's games played record which hapoened to occur in Minnesota. The milestone was announced during the game and the Minnesota crowd gave Marleau a long standing ovation and after the game the Wild players all shook Marleau's hand and congratulated him on that truly epic milestone. Marleau is a true class act and even though his team lost the game he graciously stuck around to shake hands afterward. It was one of those "why hockey is the greatest game" moments. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h16kiHZqr6yHY7c

[MIKERUPTION]

That Selanne and Giguere moment was magical with My Hero playing in the background! Couldn't have scripted it better. I miss seeing them play for my Ducks.

[InMotionForAMillion]

That Bettman snub at 8:22 was magical.

[Marc-Andre]

Surely he didn’t wanted to ignore his hand shake. Bettman pointed his jersey and the youngster must have thought « oh I need to put it on ».

[Orc Stregth]

Haha. He stuck it to Betman. Lol

[Brian W.]

Haha Bettman. Wish more NHL players could snub Bettman...lol!!!

[I’m glad I Quit Destiny 2]

Gretzky’s last game is one of the best hockey moments of all time. Easily top 3 that I can think of. I wish I saw it with my own eyes

[Mr Impossible]

I used to be a mover and moved the Canucks, Flames and Oilers players. Ryan Smyth was easily the nicest and most humble player I ever moved!

[Mike Wager]

Who'd you used to work for?

[oweifh tuvj9]

Ok, so I can tell like most Canadians you are polite and classy, but tell us some of the jerks.

[Braido]

This video was really well done. Touched on the most important moments of the last 15-20 years. Cheers, Braido...

[G M]

Crazy seeing all these players from my childhood retire, and now I'm 35.. Time flies, faster and faster. Enjoy your moment right now, it goes quick

[Ian]

3:28 Two greats playing tonsil hockey.. what a moment.

[Wyatt Ensor]

i was searching for this comment as soon as i saw them smoochin

[Remy TV]

Seeing Ryan Smyth cry always gets me choked up. He deserved a Cup

[FathomMane]

I agree

[Nik Schmidt]

I think one of my personal favourites is Trevor Lindens last game, shaking hands with Jarome Iginla telling him he’s the best player in the game.

[crbox`TV]

The kid who skipped Gary is a legend

[Mega Mob]

No one gonna mention what a beauty move that Dougie Hamilton head pat was? Priceless

[SOSA baby]

Probably the worst thing on this list. Nothing that special.

[JETLiFEFC]

@SOSA baby 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you mad. Nothing was special about the dudes being babies and just looking away from the opponent and not shaking their hand. He shook Nelson’s hand, then son-ed him. 😂 looking dead in the eyes.

[SOSA baby]

@JETLiFEFC you have never been more wrong in your life chief. Hang in there

[JETLiFEFC]

@SOSA baby lol who tf are you bud? Your opinion is as valid as mine, get a grip. 🤣

[SOSA baby]

@JETLiFEFC I’m the guy telling you that you’re wrong😂😂😂😂 ahhh poor guy. It will all get better soon.

[svtkilr]

I watched that Selanne celebration live and as a kings fan it gave me chills when you brought out the Big man and Hero my Foo Fighters what a perfect combination!

[tareva9]

Huge fan of the channel and this video is the reason why. So much class in such a rugged sport. Incredible.

[Jayke27]

"Accidently meeting Teemu Selanne" I got a job at a hockey rink near Cleveland when I was 20 ( I did not know anything about hockey yet, since than I have become a huge fan, im 24 now) but Teemu Selanne came to our rink to watch his son play and I remember talking to this dude, telling him which rink he'd be on and just had like 5 min conversation with him about the tourney. And I go back into the Zamboni room and everyone and my boss was like "holy shit dude!! Thats crazy, you just met Teemu Salanne" I just said uhm idk who that is? They all got so mad at me haha in a joking manner tho. I went home and looked him up and was mind blown haha He was extremely nice and just seemed like an all around good person. But I did feel dumb as fuck for not knowing who he was at the time.

[IceWarrior101]

I've only met Cory Stillman and Theo Fleury. Stillman was a total hot head though lol

[Dylan Levy]

Played against his 2 older sons and teemu is a really nice guy he always will talk to kids if u walk up to him I've talked to him multiple times at anaheim Ice

[Chris Hayworth]

I met his other half, Paul Kariya. He was at a college hockey tournament in Pittsburgh and I was talking photos for it. Really really nice guy and a great human being.

[Richard Key]

I read somewhere that he barely laced up his skates tight, whearas Paul coffee wore no socks & crammed his feet into undersize skates, super tight.teemu must have superb foot & ankle strength

[Richard Key]

Paul Coffey

[Amadeus Smith]

First game first shift after that pathetic tantrum, Lucic got absolutely destroyed by Emelin at the blue line 😂😂😂

[Michael Agolia]

F-k that bro

[James Bowyer]

Hockey is my faith in humanity. 90% of the time opposing teams hate each other, but when someone that's influenced the game so much retires, respect is given.

[The Flaming Pike]

There are two moments I'd add to that compilation: 1) Sidney Crosby caught on camera shaking hands with Martin St-Louis after his mother passed away. I thought that was super classy. A bit less classy for whoever hid in the corner to film it though. 2) It's just a picture, so maybe it didn't fit, but it tells so much: A bloodied Maurice Richard shaking hands with black-eyed Bruins goaltender Jim Henry after the Canadiens eliminated the Bruins in the '52 playoffs. Henry seemed to bow down to Richard in a sign of utmost respect. In my opinion, the most badass photo in sports history. Most people simply refer to it as "The Handshake".

[Isaac Viereck]

Damn that moment with Teemu and Giguere is undefeated. Just awesome stuff

[Super Bird]

The tribute to Gretzky always makes my eyes sweat.

[aj springer]

Ryan Smyth's parents watching the love for him..incredible

[Lancer]

Weise physically, mentally, Psychologically destroyed Lucic lol. He was never the same after. Couldn't have happened to a worse person. I love it

[Tyler P]

God I miss Gary Thorne calling hockey games.

[Clint Westwood]

No idea why he stopped

[Andrew Miller]

Has a player ever loved being a part of a team more than Ryan Smyth? The guy was beloved in Edmonton.

[Josephus]

Jaromir Jagr is still playing professional hockey. Just wow.

[Steve]

Lucic was physically tough, but mentally? Soft as it gets!

[Jordan Samson]

Dalton Prout rag dolled him. He’s not that tough physically either.

[LayOver]

Lucic the saltiest player on and off the ice.

[Turk Turkleton]

Nah, it was deserved

[Drew Butler]

We need one of the NHL greats in their final game

[danceswithcritters]

The Sedin twins played 18 seasons all with the Canucks. Impressive.

[Derek Armunendua]

Selanne's farewell to Anaheim and taking a lap with Giguere is about as wholesome as you can get when it comes to sports.

[Jake Horton]

The Sedin twins area all class, I miss them even as a rangers fan

[cana dude]

I miss them as a calgary fan

[Abraham Lau]

I love how it went from negative to positive clips. Well done

[Luke Yarasheski]

I hate the Red Wings. But Pavel Datsyuk was absoloutely amazing. Absoloute class, hard competitor, and lethal in a shootout. Excellent hockey player. Underrated defensive forward as well

[Town Fool]

Panarin is so cute trying to shake Kuch's hand, he always looks so happy

[Kleptomania GTA5]

Legend has it that Betman is still waiting for his hand to be shaked

[Russ C.]

Ahhh the always awkward post game handshake. One of my favorite scenes in a movie is in Dazed and Confused. The baseball scene with the post game handshake. It’s the typical “good game, good game” but in the faint background you hear one or two dudes saying “yeah right” or “whatever” 😂. It’s so accurate

[Hawksfan88]

4:50 Dang, I actually got chills right here!

[James Horan]

When Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito were the first to greet Kate Smith on the ice at the Spectrum after she just got done singing God Bless America for the Flyers. Total class.

[Another guy named Gabe]

I’m a Rangers fan I respect the hell out of every single Penguin that showed Gretzky that respect, also the Selanne Gigure one made me cry with Hero by Foo Fighters playing lol, I love this fucking sport

[Eric Wolfe_f_u]

Ryan Smyth brought a tear to my eye. lol.

[Angel Alaniz]

I remember going to a stars game when they were playing the ducks. Teemu was playing and my friend I was told me he was a beast in the nineties. I remembering saying “it’s 2011”. Lmao really couldn’t comprehend the longevity a lot of hockey players seem to have

[Quod Nomen Mihi Est]

It's a shame there was no official video of Luc Robitaille's final game at the Shark Tank.

[Suzanne Baldracchi]

I enjoyed all of these special moments with the different hockey players and teams

[John william Blackned]

I still say Lucic should have faced disciplinary action regarding his remarks during the handshakes...and him turning around calling Weiss a baby, totally embarrassing

[Riley W]

And Crosby not shaking hands is any different!?!?

[Dan G]

The Gretzky and Selanne and Smith moment....Amazing!!!!!

[Peli Mies]

Teemu’s rookie record lives on. Gentleman - yet hellava player!

[Alex LeBlanc]

76 points for a rookie is pretty solid, don't think anyone's scoring 77+ goals anytime soon let alone a rookie.

[Peli Mies]

@Alex LeBlanc Yeah, I missed, alas, most of Gretzky’s career, but at least I was lucky enough to see Selänne, Kariya, etc..

[WhiteSpider125]

It's ironic considering that Ovi still has a shot at Gretzky's carreer goal record. But no one has come close to Selanne's rookie record.

[Lord Chancellor Hatton]

Gretzky really is the greatest

[ˈwôrēər]

Gretzky clip made the hair stand up on my neck. Truly the great one. Better than all the rest

[Ryan Kirk]

5:02 That’s sportsmanship 🏒 Selanne #8 what a guy!

[Canadian__kid15]

Never forget the sedins last home game. Best game I’ve ever been too!

[Brent Parker]

Hats off to the Canucks, very classy.

[thebelizeaneh]

Brodeur had every right not to shake Avery's hand. Nobody should touch that slime bucket

[Andrew Wills]

Jerome leading the team to say good bye to Linden is my fav!

[RC24 Caldwell]

The Lucic interview is classic...."If he wants to be a baby about it....." Ummm, Milan....you may want to take a walk over to the mirror and take a look.....

[Danny Hatch]

How is lucic a baby lmao

[Michael Agolia]

Lucic is and still is the man

[Ben Mitchner]

Hockey players are a mad paradox- warriors on one side (crusaders for sure), gentlemen on the other, and all that toughness so often masks heartfelt on the inside. Class players are the ones who we'll always remember.

[Jordan Perepolkin]

I find it weird how they didn’t just shake hands in that one series. I know as the playoffs went on they all did because they realized they are playing and hitting and all safe anyway in a bubble. 😂

[Chase Whitmore]

Lucic should’ve stayed in Boston. His attitude fits perfectly with them :)

[Brian W.]

Too bad that Lucic and Marchand are no longer teammates with the Bruins. They would have been a formidable duo known as the Douche and the Pest since they are known to agitate their opponents.

[Turk Turkleton]

@Brian W. Marchand learned all his tricks from the team Lucic was just trashy, ironically. Those dirty habs were a catalyst in the bruins getting pesty over the 2010s.

[David Goodrich]

4:45 greatest moment in hockey up there with Joe handing off the cup to Ray.

[MinecraftMp4]

Whoever put on “My Hero” from the Foo Fighters during the Selanne and J.S Giguere is a legend The most perfect song for a moment like that

[Dave Blanco]

Best sport in the world. That giguere and selanne moment was unreal.

[Geoffroi Le Hook]

After a North Dakota - Minnesota series in the old WCHA, a fight broke out in the handshake line. Ben Blood lost his A for the Sioux after that.

[Aubrey Aragon]

My favorite OEL shaking hands with the Sedins. Class act

[Nexus]

man i miss seeing datsyuk play

[pavel datsyuk]

So hard to find his recent khl highlights

[THE CEREAL GUY]

He’s playing now in the KHL

[AJ]

One of the best to ever play

[murphymoerf]

He was a special player and a special person. I'd say my Wings miss him, but in fact the whole NHL does 💔

[M G]

fitting pfp

[Flavius Fake]

Lucic claims to have class yet acts like a 6 year old.

[mshat18]

Maybe but consider the team he was playing. Especially back then when the Canadians would talk shit but never actually fight.

[Flavius Fake]

@mshat18 That is a deflection statement. I have played hockey. Even in the heat of the moment you know the unwritten rules.

[Donald Cornchowder]

Lucic ran Ryan Miller, all 165 pounds of him, just to be a douchebag. I've listened to him on Spittin Chicklets, but dude, I'm the same size as him and I play hockey, obviously not NHL but running someone that much smaller is classless.

[Shawn F]

Dale Weiss and Alexei Emelin got exactly the amount of respect they deserved in that moment, maybe more so. Shame Lucic didn’t follow up on what he said he would do to them the following season.

[Dave Stonley]

The handshake tradition is always good to watch. Good way to end a series

[Doodle Bob]

seeing gretzky bend over makes me cry everytime. he just had that "i cant believe its over" moment.

[Jraybay]

Lol the Dougie Hamilton head pat on Nelson 🤣

[Edwin Escalante]

Lucic-“what’s said on the ice stays on the ice” then proceeds to spill beans

[Mike Ansley]

Lucic the kind of guy to get his ass beat and run out of his hometown

[Arch Vile]

Selanne, man what a man he is. Ya just gotta love Finnish people.

[Jon Bradley]

You really see guys true character in the handshake line.

[TG Sleeppy]

Goddamn got the chills when gretzkys part came :’(

[Francois Léger-Bélanger]

Hey man you did a great job with those highlights, thank you for the video!

[James Grathoff]

Lucic embarrased himself.

[Addison Craig]

The bruins are so rude and hateful. Just a despising team. I can’t stand them personally. The fans are fine and I still respect their choice but I can’t even bare to watch them play

[Alex Silver]

@Addison Craig you must not have watched them at all the past few years. Bergy and Pasta are saints, they've pretty much phased out goons, hell even Marchand is cleaning up his act. Who would you honestly say is the worst when it comes to being rude and hateful on the team right now?

[genoisscore]

@Alex Silver any organization involving jack edwards is a disgrace to the universe. Every time an opponent gets injured he laughs or says they are faking an injury. One day a players career will end from an injury likely a Chara or Marchand slewfoot/hit and he’ll say “dont poke the bear, you deserve to get paralyzed” and he’ll just be crying laughing as usual.

[Alex Silver]

@genoisscore ugh do NOT get me started on Edwards. There are 2 types of Boston fans, those who love him for some reason, and those who want to throw him in the harbor. I'm of the latter group.

[Marty Thome (average Joe hockey report)]

I have respect for Bergeron and Pasta and yes Marchand isnt as bad as he used to be. However, Bruins fans have the sad history of dropping n bombs on black hockey players. As for the Boston media, kzbin.info/www/bejne/oICkf4yaoc1ld9k

[Death]

What a song choice to immortalize Gretzky

[Aubrey Aragon]

Class act for the Avalanche. Following traditional rules of the game. Responsible for Sellanne.

[jeremie boisvert]

Bettman, Avery and Lucic… have something in common, not quite sure what, but they do.

[Jeffrey Miller]

Lmao.. Not even played a game in the NHL yet and doesn't even shake the Commissioner Bettmans hand 🤣... Fkn legend 😎

[vonbeaver99]

Wayne Gretzky is really good at ice hockey

[Mike Chalette]

That's what they say 🤣😂🤣

[Mike Chalette]

But what's ice hockey? Here in 🇨🇦 we just, call it hockey lmao 👍🏒🇨🇦

[Peezster]

Man, I doubt Lucic would've been that aggressive in the hand shake line had John Scott or Colton Orr been in it.

[svtkilr]

actually I still think he would lol

[Piano Talent]

@svtkilr same 😂

[Bill Khan]

Got misty-eyed a few rimes. Man, I love this game!!!

[Broccoli Lesnar]

The fact that that was hanks last game makes that last one even more sad

[Clint Westwood]

One thing I got out of this video...Gary Thorne was awesome.

[Rustam Gilmutdinov]

That is why we all love hockey

[thehabsfanatic]

Carrado: I met you when I was ten at sorrentinos 😂

[Spot On]

8:23 Awesome! I would have done it twice in a row.
