Well “almost” is an overstatement The WHA did have an impact, as stated, but it had very little chance of supplanting the NHL At first the NHL owners didn’t take the WHA seriously, but they realized some things had to change due to the upstart league. So yes it is an important factor in 70s hockey, and its influence lasted beyond. And the NHL benefited

I hate this video bc of the missing context. That team COULD NOT score goals. Worst goal dofferential for a playoff team in the modern era. New York could literally just consistently take away his spots knowing that the rest of the team couldnt hurt them. Also isnt taking into account Shesterkin stood on his head and was really the only reason they had a prayer against Florida.

Yzerman

The second best player of the 1980s would have to be Mike Bossy. From Wikipedia: Bossy is the NHL's all-time leader in average goals scored per regular season game, holds the NHL's third-highest all-time average points scored per regular season game, and is the second of five players to score 50 goals in 50 games, being the first to accomplish this feat 36 years after Maurice Richard did so. He's tied for the record for most 50-goal seasons with Wayne Gretzky and Alexander Ovechkin with nine, though his were consecutive as opposed to Gretzky's and Ovechkin's being non-consecutive; he thus is the sole record-holder for most consecutive 50-goal seasons.

i would pick joe sakic over yzerman but both were great!

Hasek , ROY, Brodure, Dryden, Plante,Fuhr Parent

Huberdeau and Gaudreau are why you don't give huge contracts off of one monster year. They've averaged 50-70 points for most of their careers.

Now the Sens are fucking useless

Solid video, but I think Martin Brodeur should have been named the best player of the 2000s. I know how hard it is to compare goalies and skaters, but unless you're going to make a separate video like this dedicated to goalies, picking Lidstrom feels like a snub

Where is Tie Dummy (I mean Tie Domi) on this list????

MARIO 66 THE G.O.A,T.

For the bruins, the kessel trade was also a runner up. I mean they got dougie hamilton and tyler séguin

You didn’t even explain why

All of these types of videos suffer from such annoying recency bias it's ridiculous. Brad Marchand? No way. Bobby Schmautz was way worse and way more hated. The Little Ball of Hate was Patty Verbeek by the way. Sean Avery was probably more hated than Barnaby for the Rangers. Barnaby was also not a heavyweight. I could go on and on. This video is complete and utter bullshit is what I'm saying.

Look up some of the Stan Mikita stories about when Gordie Howe clocked Stan. There are a variety of interpretations... the all spell out one thing: Mess with Gordie and you'll find he's a better boxer than hockey player.

Given that Bobby Orr's career was split between the 60's and the 70's trying to define things by the artificial marker of a decade sort of falls apart. Lafleur was definitely lighting up the 2nd half of the 70's, but, he was no Bobby Orr. Then again, who is??? Orr is my vote for the best player in my lifetime. Never saw Rocket and only saw the very tail end of Howe. That said, even in the final stages you could see Gordie should NEVER have retired as early as he did. Wow, Howe.

Hossa for slovakia

Bobby Orr's +124 in a single season is not an unbreakable record. Larry Robinson had +120 in a single season. That record will be broken.

7:34 that's not a Stanley Cup ring. It's an Avco Cup ring from when the Winnipeg Jets were in the WHA, which Bobby Hull won 3 times with the Jets.

My take from this is you’re probably not winning a cup when you hand out the massive cap guzzling contracts to players.

The Freeze or Yeti's

Even though Orr only played half of the decade he was and still is the Goat .

Salt Shakers

2030s Connor Bedard

Boy, i bet the ol' bob one for yhe panthers has you wincing now, doesnt it?

I keep saying that. I think that you're confusing The New York Yankees with The Marge Shotz Cincinnati Reds. She didn't allow any facial hair (Rollie Fingers didn't sign with them, because, she wanted him to shave his Iconic Handlebar Moustache). The Yankees, at least, in past, have allowed A Moustache. Let me know what you think.

Jean Beliveau is much more than an honorable mention. Denis Potvin, Bryan Trottier from the Islanders dynasty. Ken Dryden, Larry Robinson from the Canadiens dynasty are honorable mentions

Petty was hurt, the Canucks should have shut him down for a bit.

Good call for Ferguson SR

The Saint's. It's a no brainer

Man I wasnt sure who the pixelated chubby faced guy with a pedo mustache in the thumbnail was going to be

Marner is the softest player in the league dude

No head protection until the 60s, 70s? Not even the goaltender, holy shit.

I would've split the 70's with Orr and Lafleur, or at least give Lafleur a special mention. I also would've gone with Datsyuk over Lidstrom, although it's hard to argue against Lindstrom

What would be the numbers for Bobby Orr if he played on 2 knees for 20 yrs and had a team like early 80s Oilers? What if Mario played healthy and under same rules as 80s with a Dave Semenko to protext him?

I'm not convinced marner gets a rise anywhere

Yeti

A lot of hockey fans love to hate on these types of players, but would definitely love to have them on their team. I myself play hockey in northern Ontario native tournaments, and I’ve been called a rat, pest, etc. Nothing like getting good players off their game, and it goes to show if they can’t handle roughness or shit talking, they’re in the wrong sport

Re: TOR Cor 4. If I were Treliving, I'd only keep Nylander and Matthews. The $21 million jettisoned with the release of Marner and Tavares should make them more competitive. But, yeah, they're gonna re-sign Marner and Tavares to their undeserved extensions since they're the Leafs and that's just what they do.

I love your content dude, why so little watchers? You deserve more!

First

Terry O'Reilly was not the most feared Bruin in history. Pretty sure that would go to Stan Jonathan.. and then perhaps Jay Miller second.. Terry might be third on a large lineup of Big Bad Bruins

Lou is insane. Dress code is one thing but the facial hair thing is so stupid, and jersey numbers??? Like who cares. Wasnt lou gm in toronto when tavares went there and wore #91? Pretty sure he was. So that number one doesnt apply

Big mistake andreï Markov for Montréal

Kevin Weekes OT save vs New Jersey game 5 in the 2002 1st round. Should have been #1 for the carolina hurricanes

Kharlamov 72 summit series was killing team Canada until clark slashed him and broke his ankle that guy was a beast

Sorry but Hasek was better than Lemieux.

Seriously you chose Lidstrom for 2000s??? This video is officially a joke since there’s a dozen guys above him for that decade alone

19:10 I agree Brodeur and Selanne but none of them would be here without Niedermayer ! He’s awesome ! 29:58 for now. All Matthews needs is some playoff success and he will be number 1 He’s destroying leafs records just not the important ones quite yet 😂
