The Beauty of Hockey - The Greatest Game on the Planet Reaction - THIS LEFT US WANTING MORE!

[@CC-Wulf]

A former LA Kings season ticket holder for several years here before I left SoCal for Texas last year. IMO, hockey is the greatest spectator sport to attend. The game atmosphere is awesome and to see what those athletes can do on those blades is astounding. My wife and I plan on going to see the Kings play Dallas when they come to Texas.

I remember in the 60s when Bobby Baun was playing for the Leafs. It was game 6 of the Stanley Cup and towards the end of the 3rd period, he stopped a slapshot on his ankle. He was carried off the ice on a stretcher. He refused x-rays and insisted that they freeze his ankle. He returned for the overtime period and scored the winning goal. They then determined that his ankle was broken. The Leafs then went on to win the 7th game and the Stanley Cup. There are some videos out there where during games in both the US and Canada, when technical problems prevented the singers from singing the other country's national anthem, the crowds step up and sing for them. Very heart warming.

FYI, the Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy to win in all sports.

[@jeffpetry2140]

Im a hockey fan/ex player but how’s so ?

[@MrJameslupien]

Because the playoff gauntlet you have to go through with as physical as hockey is in as short of a timespan as they do is absolute insanity compared to any other sport. ​@@jeffpetry2140

[@hestoceles]

@@jeffpetry2140just based on length of playoffs I am guessing. The best of 7 series is brutal playing almost everyday for weeks on end

[@jeffpetry2140]

@@hestoceles I see but I feel like the soccer world cup seems like a pretty hard trophy to win due to the amount of people who want it. Don’t get me wrong, i think hockey is harder to play but like 70% of planet earth wants to win a world cup in soccer

[@tylernoble8137]

@@jeffpetry2140there’s a great video on the skill to luck ratio in all of sports, it’s very interesting. Spread between all players and the manner of playoff contention/format the Stanley cup would be the most difficult. NHL playoffs are intense and a joy to watch

[@ianchambers37]

As a former goalie I greatly appreciate the call outs in regards to being the last line of defense but especially in regards to all the gear one has to wear(to be safe and even then sometimes it breaks or cracks with the cups, helmets etc. thankfully those events rarely happen)and still have the agility to make saves, occasionally of the spectacular variety as shown in this video. Much love 🩵 from Canada 🇨🇦🏒

[@samblethen]

I used to go down to the Garden and watch Bobby Orr. During those days players didn't wear helmets and the fights were brutal. I saw Bobby Orr get into a fight with a player who bragged that he had a Black Belt and Bobby beat the crap out of him. One time I saw the Bruins and Islanders in a brawl that lasted for over an hour. Every player was on the ice fighting. Even the goal tenders and backup goal tenders were fighting each other.

[@pickboaa]

You should definitely watch more of Pavel Datsyuk. The things he did with the puck was just amazing. While he wasnt the greatest goalscorer or passer, imo he was for sure the greatest entertainer atleast in the last 20 or so years.

[@AgenteusaRR]

Datsyuk was imo the best technical player that ever played in the NHL, good recommendation

[@pickboaa]

@@AgenteusaRR there have been some players before aswell that really brought some extra flare but only one i would compare to Datsyuk and that would be Sergei Makarov he like Datsyuk also danced with the puck. I remember watching my poor Swedish countrymen in the 80s that was gonna try to contain him, Krutov and Larionov it was like watching men play against boys. They were so incredibly good you just sat in awe in front of the tv.

[@AgenteusaRR]

@@pickboaa man im just giving my opinion, and I only watched NHL back then, I remember a Larionov (Igor i think) but he was a defender so probably not the same, did Krutov or Makarov play in the NHL?

[@pickboaa]

@@AgenteusaRR Larionov was a centerman for the Red Wings and Makarov played for the Flames late in his career. I believe Krutov aswell played in the NHL but cant remember where. Makarov is atlaest in my mind the only player that can compare to Datsyuk. But id still say Datsyuk was the more exciting player to watch.

[@AgenteusaRR]

​ @pickboaa Well ok my point was Datsyuk was the best technical player i ever saw, still think scoring goes to Gretzky. And yes now I remember Larionov, Ive mistaken him for the LA Kings defender that was also Russian and I can't remember his name late 90',s early 2000's , you probably know who i mean. I'm not american or Canadian, I watched whenever I could and its broadcasted here in Europe, I remember Shanahan, still remember Hull, Lindros,Kronwall, Chelios, Chara, i still remember them but i didnt watch on a regular basis, one of the most talented when i watched was Jaromir Jagr, was czech (back then) i believe...

[@metalmark1214]

I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out 😂

[@christophermerlot3366]

Paul Kariya at his best was when he scored off a Mario Lemieux fake. See gold medal game at the Salt Lake City Olympics. His speed was off the charts.

[@ines_uk]

Latvian here. Ice hockey is our national sport. Great video!

[@Kent-77]

Latvian fans are wild! I went to a U20 world jr game and there were a bunch of Latvian fans sitting near us going crazy cheering. Teams were Sweden vs Czech and it was in Canada!! lol.

[@ines_uk]

@@Kent-77 Yes, we love it lol. Imagine how crazy it was in Latvia when we got bronze medal finally this year in the World Championship. It was declared an official holiday 😀

[@Mr-gg8ek]

The Dallas Stanley Cup game you mentioned was one of my greatest hockey memories. I had an evening game the night of that game and we decided to stay and play pickup hockey after the game. It was about 15 guys playing hockey for 5+ hours in an empty rink with the Stanley Cup playing live over the sound system.

[@g.e.5723]

Hockey! The best. THE hardest Trophy to win in all Sports. Training camp in about 2 weeks ;)

[@RickB-r1q]

The problem with the video is that while they are all great moments it is always better to see them at both regular and slow motion. The speed at which these players do these things is what truly makes them magical

[@lorig-ski]

Okay, I got an old school one for you, and perhaps one of the most fantastically insane moments in hockey! 1979 the entire Boston Bruins team climbs over the glass into the stands in full uniform, skates and all, and Mike Milbury beats the sh*t out of a guy with his own shoe! It's hilarious and bad-a$$ all at the same time! Please check it out! The full clip is about 3 1/2 minutes.

[@markastoforoff7838]

LOL, I've watched that a few times. Old time hockey was definitely different than todays game. No one wanted to mess with Philly nor Boston back in the 70's, then again each team shored up their physical aggression for a few years because of these teams. Not a single team didn't have at least a couple of enforcers.

[@RobertBreedon-c3b]

I love hockey played it from the age of 4 till I was 38 I am now 56 still get on the backyard rink with the kids and grandkids today. I played in the MTHL ( Metro Toronto Hockey League ) from age 9 till I was 16 then played a few years of JR. B in Ontario. I hurt my knee when I was 18 pretty much ended the dream but I still played men's rec from 25 till 38 so had a good run. I played either wing it is such a great game. GO LEAFS GO maybe this the year who knows,. The Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy to win in sports you got win 16 games in the playoff without loosing 4 games in one round they are all the best of 7 series.

[@markhodge7]

Yes, the greatest game. Started playing goalie, at age 6, in 1965 in Montreal, the most storied hockey town. Played for 40 years. I've been a fan of many sports through my life, but I only watch hockey now. It has everything other sports offer, but no other sports offer it "all" like hockey does. They are also the best dressed athletes in the world, and damn good looking! Real men.

[@williamyates694]

My dad had season tickets to the Atlanta Flames before they moved to Calgary and we went to all of them. Eventually we got a farm league team called the Atlanta Knights and we won the Turner Cup one year and I was lucky enough to see that. Then we got the Atlanta Thrashers and i bought season tickets every year only to lose them to Winnipeg. I moved to Boston and buy season tickets to the Bruins. Hope my presence isn't bad luck to them, but i was at all the playoff games where we BLEW IT last year!!! Great job and thanks to you fellow fans!!!

[@gordieparenteau6555]

Check out Daniel and Henrik Sedin, twin brothers who played for the Vancouver Canucks. They were elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame last year.

[@bargndigital8874]

I played Junior Hockey and my favourite team was the broad street bullies Philadelphia Flyers, one of the greatest teams ever.

[@Mr-gg8ek]

The elite hockey players are the most skilled of any team sports athletes by a long shot.

[@steved6092]

☺👍 ... never seen a game, will have to see if it's played in the UK ... good video guys

[@bdmention]

Or that time when Duncan Keith got a puck to the face and lost seven teeth. He came back in the game after missing only three shifts. You know why? Because he's a hockey player.

[@Timmycoo]

Yeah I wish there was some older stuff as well, I guess maybe he wanted the entire vid to be in HD maybe? Idk was trying to think of a justification. And yeah the Stanley Cup goals were iconic but there's a ton of more memorable ones I can think of. One of my favs is the Marek Malik between the legs goal because of the story of that one leading up to it. Also the Thornton v. Benn fight is one of the bests I've seen. As a SJS fan and one of my best friends is a huge Stars fan. Seeing two captains dish it out.

Hockey is the hardest major game in North America specially here in Canada 🇨🇦 the roots of hockey came from Canada always prevailed over Russia, USA both specially mens either junior senior or Olympic. Even today fighting is allowed on Hockey and is the only sports that’s legitimately. Wayne Gretzky record will never be broken on this’ll lifetime. Because the goalies are bigger and flexible, the net is now smaller from before 😂

[@JPMadden]

I find it amusing that Brendan Shanahan was asked if hockey is hard. A guy in the Hall of Fame might not be the best person to ask.

Nowadays if that happened to Kariya, he would never have scored because he wouldn't be playing due to concussion

The problem with older film is that the resolution is so low it’s quite pixelated and looks awful, even some of this can be tough to look at.

[@nochannel1q2321]

Just came across this reaction, but this video tends to cater to people who aren't very familiar with aspects of the game. The clips selected are more recent for the quality and number of angles, shot blocks and the like that are and obvious, but aren't with the trainer and blocker trying to match the missing number of teeth versus how many they've found already. It's not easy to find too much footage before Jagr and you end up with a shitload of moaning about why Bobby Orrs lying goal isn't even HD. If someone's not already using AI to upscale and bump the good ones to 60fps some of the people doing it for corn could do a little community service for great sports moments.

[@viewfromthehighchair9391]

Unfortunate that this video was recommended to you. Hockey needs to be seen at full speed and for the totality of the given play. Just showing the last part in slow-mo is fine, I guess, but doesn't give any real feel for how fast and spectacular the game is.
