Red Wings - Maple Leafs rough stuff 10/17/87

and goals. Bob Probert vs Wendel Clark and Dave Semenko. Detroit vs Toronto

[@geraldwilson681]

Watching this in 2024 I can say honestly that I miss this era of hockey!!👍🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@natedogty]

Oh yeah 👍

[@lisahardy9707]

RIP Dave Semenko RIP Bob Probert RIP John Brophy RIP Dave Newell

[@staceyjohnson2555]

Love these old games. Home and home series. Tough hockey. THE BEST! Thanks for the upload.

[@t-max7261]

Back then, didn’t every team play a home-and-home against each of their divisional rivals? Add that to the fact that you had to win your division in the playoffs and that is the recipe for complete animosity! As a Leaf fan, I can honestly say that I had a palpable hatred for each and every Norris Division foe! It might have taken them a while, but the Leafs’ first (and only) Norris Division title in the 1993 playoffs was by far the sweetest revenge ever for years of mismanagement and struggle

[@leethomas5830]

Make a original 6 division .

[@robertjames5199]

Thanks for all your videos I grew up in this era of hockey, when men were men always had to keep your head up! Really miss those days in the old Chicago Stadium, the Arena in St. Louis and the Joe. Would have loved to have went to Maple leafs Garden!

[@jason-hy8ci]

1987/88 one of THE Best years in league history.

[@dc7468]

Not for the buds

[@michaelm3345]

I always say it’s the best. The fights in the first half of the season to me were the peak of hockey fights.

[@t-max7261]

@@michaelm3345Plus every team had multiple guys that could fight, not just the single “enforcer” that most teams (might) dress nowadays! Some nights there would be 3, 4, 5 or 6 different fights, all involving a new pair of combatants. Some nights you would wonder if teams had enough guys left on the bench to finish the game? The 1980s (and early 1990s) were peak NHL days

[@scorpion7359]

Ahhhhhh, the good ol' days..

[@paulsheridan1885]

Miss this type of hockey.

[@robertgardner8015]

Good Ole time hockey, I miss it.

[@DiscipleofHim]

What a great night this is watching the original six. I never watch todays game and its because of THIS is how it was and always will be played. Great share. RIP Probie

[@acespace7255]

Hack and Whack, Lee Norwood and Gilbert Delorme....thanks Vin

[@robertjames5199]

I always called Norwood Driftwood

[@dc7468]

Best arena in the history of hockey

[@adamplace1414]

Oh Wendell, don't do that to yourself. You're an angry goal scorer, and that's great, but come on, you were never in his class.

[@t-max7261]

Good old Norris Division matchup!

[@stinkfinger630]

Man, watching clips like this, after watching the Canucks/Jackets game live last night (or any modern game really), you realize how much the game has changed! It was war out there back in the day!

[@chrisd4112]

Yeah they where actual rivals.

[@grep67]

So true.. non-stop action, grinding along the boards, hitting, hatred... I can't get through and entire game today... its just awful.

[@chrisd4112]

​@@grep67well it's impressive you can watch it at all. The new game is just to casual to me. It doesn't seem like the players care if they win or lose and if they don't why should I lol.

[@ericsthillify]

14:47 Richardson would pay dearly for that hit on Kocur less than 2 months later🤣🤣🤕

[@twwap294]

Stefan was terrible but so was their defense.

[@user-tm2jk9ym4w]

what a great game this was

[@dc7468]

Saints tough guy Leigh Verstraete gets the call up from the minors for this game.

[@Mypocketshurt]

I'm only 30 seconds into the video and I've seen so many penalties

[@wastedyears6653]

Property knocked Semenko out in the rematch😊

[@kellygotell1179]

Clark looked hurt after that one

[@t-max7261]

He got pummelled and I say that as a Wendel Clark fan! That Probert was tough!

[@DeathWish1974]

Tough days

[@JohnCritch-tf4mb]

I never knew Semenko played with Leafs

[@RBR-lo2ei]

It was his final season.

[@ericsthillify]

Probert ended him not long after this

[@danielbowden6330]

who was in goal for Detroit at the end?

[@dc7468]

Manlingo Mungo

[@RBR-lo2ei]

Goalies used a stand-up style back then. Fewer goals were scored on high shots but more were scored along the ice.

[@bigshoots2192]

Hockey sucks now. More hitting in this game than half a season

Two poor hockey teams.

[@jason-hy8ci]

Maybe....... but the Red & White one went on to give Edmonton a bit of a hard time in the Campbell conference Finals.

[@t-max7261]

The Red Wings had 93 points that year and made the Conference Finals before falling to a vastly superior Oilers team in 5, including an OT loss in Game 4 that would have tied the series

[@timoaksel9320]

@@t-max7261 Old Norris division was the worst in NHL and intra-divisional play boosted point haul.

[@AlgoWorkshopcom]

Only time I've ever seen Clark take a serious beating. Semenko avenged this by jumping Probert later, but Probert knocked the hell out of Semenko in the rematch.

[@matturibe5256]

Probert was waiting for that rematch lol!!!
