World Cup '96 documentary

[@tanderson6442]

You know you love hockey when you watch a documentary like this and start to feel a little emotional.

[@michaeld.4521]

Yep.

[@AlexQC9]

Fuck yeah

[@charliep6444]

Just sucks they cut the russia canada game extremly short, it was dirty and close and Kasparaitis being a pest to Lindros and Gretzki

[@joeandrews2841]

I had tears in my eyes throughout a large part of it

[@jessewahwah]

The greatest hockey ever played. Hockey had never seen THIS kind of skill and nasty at the same time before this tournament, and hockey hasn't seen it since.

[@JNieckarz]

Exactly! Skill and nastiness. Gritty as f**k.

[@betterdaysareatoenailaway]

The '90s were peak hockey. I miss that era so much. Nowadays there's a lot of skill in the league but there's none of the physicality.

[@betterdaysareatoenailaway]

The Yanks deserved to win this tournament. They were the best team. Richter was the best goalie in the world from 94-96. He stoned Bure on a (rare for the era) penalty shot in the '94 Cup finals, led the Rangers to their first Cup in 55 years (Richter should've won the Conn Smythe...not Leetch), and then won the World Cup of Hockey in '96. As good as Quick is, to this day, I've never seen a better American goaltender than Richter. I feel bad writing this because I loved Lindros but, as good as he was, he always fell just a little bit short. He captained the Flyers to a Cup Final but lost in 4 games. He had a rough World Cup in '96. He did score that tying goal in the final game but he struggled throughout the tournament. I don't agree that the Canadians thought the Americans sucked. That's not the case. In these international tournaments there are ALWAYS three teams Canada is worried about: USA, Russia, Sweden. In any given tourney, these are the teams that give Canada the most trouble. For my money, this was the best Team USA ever. The Miracle on Ice Team was great and they embarrassed the Soviets but they didn't have the big names. '96 Team USA was better than the 2002 Olympics and better than 2010 as well. Like...to think that they played as well as they did WITHOUT Roenick (he missed the tourney because he was in a contract dispute. Rolston took his place). Richter, Hull, Tkachuk, Chelios, Guerin (hugely underrated player), Modano, LeClair, Housley, LaFontaine, Suter.

[@twfchamp02]

That Amonte goal was Eruzione like. As a Canadian, it was disappointing to lose this but better things were to come.

[@moemanncann895]

The Canadians always seemed to gel quickly as a team once they put on the jersey. Egos put aside and bought into the team concept 100%. Thanks for sharing this

[@ИгорьСнегирев-п2к]

I remembered these games.. Time flies, but we have sweet memories.. Thanks a lot!.. From Russia with love!.. ☀🌈❤😊💯🥇👌

[@johnparsons1573]

That was really awesome. Thank you very much for showing that

[@bookemdanno5596]

Tkachuk's whack on the side of of Foote after being slashed behind the knees multiple times was no worse than Shanahan's on Leetch and certainly not as bad as Lindros' on the back of Tkachuk's neck.

[@ricardojoseph8352]

James Hetfield has narrated this documentary?! Where was I ? So cool.

[@BeNards33]

The Lou Lamoriello Ohrkesstrah always had a few drummahs

Hahhahahahhahahahhahahahahga

[@Ch12JS]

Still beat Canada.

[@Michael-v3z1s]

Great time's BOTH TEAMS WERE GREAT. Bring it back.

[@JNieckarz]

Mike Richter was bad ass in that tournament.

[@betterdaysareatoenailaway]

Best goaltending I've ever seen. He was a wall.

[@philscott44]

That goal in game 1 was offsides.

[@patrickgray5633]

As a American Hockey fan to this day I can't believe the greatest whoever lived had a open look like that & didn't score.

[@williammartin4368]

[@vindiggs]

Thanks!

[@rickbeezer34]

No one and I mean No one could stop Penalty shots and breakaways under pressure like Mike Richter did.. Bill Ranford was also outstanding on Penalty shots..

[@joef2504]

2025 Four Nations Faceoff can't come soon enough!

[@Michael-v3z1s]

Hockey will always be Canadian game. It's a great game. Always respect the great team and players

[@GregFeeney392]

Brett Hull has duel citizenship. His mother is American.

[@Ch12JS]

Also same for Adam Deadmarsh, another Canadian-American played for the Team USA.

[@usaslakt]

Canadas overtime goal in the first game was offside...

[@CutterHistorical]

Didnt matter tho, US won series AS IS

[@usaslakt]

No, it did not, just noticed. I'm a swede so for me it REALLY didn't matter@@CutterHistorical

[@betterdaysareatoenailaway]

The officiating in the series was biased toward Canada. I'm Canadian and I saw it. They HAVE to hire neutral refs from countries that aren't competing in the game. Instead, the World Cup hired mostly Canadian refs. It looks bad and it's embarrassing.

[@gw593]

Having 50 goal scorers a year on a 4th line is hilarious.

[@AlexQC9]

I was 11 years old, got me hooked instantly. No ragrets

[@danm404]

Best of 7 series would be insane!

[@frankrafferty2426]

Theo was right. It was great for hockey. I quit football and started playing ice hockey after this. Awesome tournament

[@sudsysutherland359]

It was kinda funny when Brett Hull mocked Canada because he’s Canadian himself lol. Brett was born in Belleville,Ontario & he couldn’t make Team Canada so he was sour about it lol.

[@RIUUI007]

Within the space of three months Adam Deadmarsh and Scott Young won the Stanley Cup (in June) and the World Cup (in September). Scott Young played 110 games and Adam Deadmarsh played 107 games in the '95-'96 season + the World Cup.

[@etiennekosa]

Sidney Crosby did the same thing in 2016. He he played 104 NHL games then the WCoH he also won the Conn Smythe and MVP of both. For good measure he won the Cup and another Conn Smythe in 2017.

[@RIUUI007]

@@etiennekosa thanks 😀

[@TOBoy6338]

I agree with your GOATs. Actually correctly guess what they were before the video. I don't agree with Minnesota (too high) and VGK (too low).

[@josephemerson2893]

Brett Hull!!...Not only a great person!!...Perhaps the greatest player ever🤩. //With love from Sweden

[@randyscott8660]

And it was a Canadian who helped them the most...

[@christophertote8912]

Not complaining, just noticing thumbnail is highlight out of 1991. ALL HOCKEY IS GREAT! These final games USA - CANADA defined “sports wars”!! IN (f’ing)TENSITY

[@vindiggs]

Trying to build some excitement for my Canada Cup ' 91 series I'm working on..

[@christophertote8912]

That semi-final game of Canada and Sweden was great in '91!!!! HOCKEY!!!!@@vindiggs

[@christophertote8912]

1991 had the “other-2nd) Gary Suter stick incident against Czech where he cross-checked some teeth out of Jaromir Jagr. ‘87 Suter had the facial stick chop to the Russian Lomakin and the 91 incidents. HOCKEY!!!

Gotta give it to them they had a great Team in the US and they won. LOL, at the elite level since not so much!

How time flys

[@Nick-NY]

Lindros comes across like a total douche.

[@patrickgray5633]

Cause he is I get what Keith Tkachuk did was grounds for a ejection I understand that but what Eric Lindros did before that was cheap as hell.

How did team USA win? They were skilled but gritty as f**k, that's how.

Then Canada dominated the u.s for the next 20 plus years. Though I’m sure the four nations tournament will be different
