[@pilotamurorei]

The Finnish flash was always one of the greatest wingers to ever play the game. I saw him once when he was in Anaheim, and had he had some support around him, being that PK was always sidelined with a concussion, he could have done so much more on those ducks teams, kinda like how the LAPD line on the Kings could have done so much more had all 3 of them actually played for more than 2 games without an injury.

[@bookemdanno5596]

He probably could have. He's still so much younger than a lot of these guys.

Lets take it easy guys. Jets alumni is nothing compared to oilers alumni. Just listen. Also they throw in extra stuff for jets guys. If it was not bias it would look bad the skill of oilers is off the ricter.

[@HardRockMiner]

I don't know about anyone else, but before this game was over I felt friggin old. It was hard to watch my idols slowly fumble around the same surface the used to own!!... I was never a Gretzky fan as a kid as I loved the Flames, but thru the years I became a fan of the game, not just the fan of a team, and any fan of the game who grew up in the 80s can't help but love Gretzky. I wanted so badly for him to score a goal... a tip in, a deflection... anything... Sadly it didn't happen, But to hear just one more time, Kurri, to Gretzky, to Coffee, back to Gretzky... HE SCORES!!!... Would have probably brought me to tears. I love the game, but the boy in me has aged right along with the boys who made the game look so easy when I was a kid.

[@karmaleglass2168]

as I read this I started to tear up, feeling the same way. Love the game forever.

[@grannas211]

Who are you taking about?

[@Kardall]

It's 2023, and the years have passed since this game. Many have gone since then, but the memories of the games remain in a lot of our memories of ages past. I grew up in Edmonton during the 80's and I actually loved watching them and loved Hockey back then. I lost touch with the NHL after Gretzky and Messier got traded, but recently I have tried to pick back up. No longer living in Alberta but Saskatchewan, now I have Bedard as a focal point to cheer for so I have a name. A name I can attach an attitude towards the game. It seems to me that after the Gretzky trade and the breakup of the great Oiler's Dynasty, the NHL just became un-trackable for me and I could no longer keep tabs on who was playing for who. I would love to just sit and have coffee with some of the players from the 80s oilers before I or they go. Would be amazing to just talk about life and not really about hockey. Just what the feeling of playing hockey in the 80s was and how it has changed to today. I bet it's a completely different feeling in the dressing rooms and on the ice compared to then. I mean the game has changed so so much since then.

[@Stabu]

What's amazing to me is how good all these players still are. They're just a bit slow, but they all play really, really, really well. In some ways it's even better than watching a normal NHL game because it's easier to follow when the guys aren't so fast!

[@benholm3657]

[@blackhawk989]

because this is Winnipeg

[@eldudearino1165]

Yea man, Gretzky is a national hero but Winnipeg loves Teemu

[@BrucknerMotet]

Didn't The Flash score like 2 goals + 2 assists for 4 points? Domination. And it almost looked like a 3rd assist with that one where the scorer got Teemu's pass but had to shoot twice after a very quick and short rebound (not too familiar with the rules but I'm guessing the fact that the shooter missed on his first try after the pass killed off what would have been an assist had he scored on his initial shooting attempt. )

[@BoboMcBooboy]

​​@@BrucknerMotet that counts as an apple. Shot, rebound, and getting your own rebound doesn't remove the 2 assists before. Only a new person touching the puck would take out the second apple and replace it, or the other team "controlling" the puck resets everything.. So a shot, rebound off the goalie, or it deflecting off a player, and right on to the stick of the same team who controlled the puck prior to it bouncing off an opposing player/goalie doesn't count as "controlling" the puck?

Still great to watch these guys play. Got to meet or know many of them, including Coffey, such an awesome person! Hawerchuck married a girl from Arborg Manitoba, where I'm from. The humility and modesty from all these players is amazing, and, generally is, from all hockey players. I really wish everyone could achieve this in their lives, and the respect I give to these colleagues, is truly immense, as a result of this! As mentioned in the beginning, it all came because of Ben Hatskin getting the legend, Bobby Hull to come to Winnipeg!Thank you, Bobby Hull, and, to all involved in this broadcast. Have a great year!

[@Winnipegger1984]

Growing up I was a huge Dale Hawerchuk fan. I have never screamed more than when they announced his name at the start of this game. Plus there was a Selanne assist on a Hawerchuk goal, so that was pretty sweet.

[@banfasso3109]

The thing I remember most about Esa Tikkanen is that he was the rarest player to find in sticker packs for the 1988-1989 NHL Sticker Book. Me and all my buds had like 10 multiples of every player but not a single Tikkanen among the lot of us. I heard legend of a kid across town who got one but we regarded that as myth.

[@intellivisionmaster7999]

Selanne is an absolute legend. I watched him live potting goal # 76. He was the real deal. It’s even tougher to shine in the NHL when you’re the only all-star in the dressing room. Think about the dynasty teams in Montreal, Edmonton, Pittsburgh and Detroit ... Selanne was a one-man wrecking crew playing with beer-league teammates. He’s a Top-10 forward of all-time. A true legend.

Years ago I watched the old timer Montreal Canadians when the went to Fort McMurray and played and exhibition against the Fort Mac junior team. Think they are the oil barons or something... regardless, Guy Lafleur was in his late 40s at the time and when he skated by the boards, they still shook with the wind he created going by. I had the opportunity of meeting him later that night and jokingly I asked him if he was still fast enough to play in the NHL. His answer was priceless. He said, at my age, I can still go with the best but stopping, that's the problem. Then he said, if you think I'm fast, Yvan Cournoyer could skate faster sideways than me going straight. We only chatted a few minutes but he was an immense pleasure to interact with.

No team in the World could compete against that 4-on-4 talent in the early-mid 80s ... except maybe Krutov, Makarov, Larionov, Fetisov, Bykov and Kasatonov on the Soviet National teams.
