Adding on to this, there was one hit in particular that caused the NHL to take head hits more seriously. I present to you, Matt Cooke on Marc Savard effectively ending Savard's careee. ruclips.net/video/kaG4GSyQ-tQ/видео.htmlsi=RWgojg-2gMitzxv-
You should watch 2 Red Wings, Kronwall and Konstantinov. Both had a video highlight package that would play on the jumbotron before games to get the fans going.
I absolutely love watching your reactions. Watching NHL in the mid to late 90s for me was all about the Detroit Red Wings and the Russian 5. I loved watching that whole team play.
You probably know that players didn't always wear helmets. But did you know that goalies didn't wear MASKS until the 1960s? There's old black-and-white footage online of this. It seems inconceivable, despite the slower pace of play back then.
Cant remember which 90's NHL game it was that was my first as a kid but 2004 was always my favourite. It could have been 94 because my first console experience was a genesis but cant remember it was my stepdads and he had a bunch of games on it
There is a reason why "94 Controls" are still shown in game. That will forever be annointed as the golden goose of hockey games (and blades of steel of course)
Especially after we saw what can happen with Petgrave on Johnson. Of course, the difference is Petgrave did it on purpose and I hope the British courts throw the book at him.
Speaking of the 90s, if you’re interested in some of the best hockey fights search up The 10 NHL Hockey Fights of Rob Ray. Legendary fighter even had a rule name after him for completely sliding out of his jersey leaving the other player tangled up allowing him to lay on the punches lol.
I believe that they kept their helmets loose so they could ditch them quickly in a fight. There are rules around losing your helmet during play, or removing them for a fight nowadays so you don't see them pop off as easily.
In the 90's -1) It was way harder to get through the neutral zone, it was the era of the 'trap' - 2) Players usually wore their helmet strap really loose - 3) Lindros was a monster, but not compared to Scott Stevens - 4) yes I could beat you at NHL 14. 5) Adam you really need to check out a whole video of hip-checks, the most spectacular hits in hockey.
Man. I didn't want Bob Probert since he left detroit the year after I was born but growing up watching clips. Was a bad man! Amazing enforcer. I kind got that with Kronwall lol.
NHL14 GM mode i took montreal and played all games for 24 seasons...at that point i had guys named Evgeny Crosby or Pavel Kovalev getting retired with amazing careers 🤣
I'd say more like the 70s was the age of enforcers. Also the age of no less then 10 bench clearing brawls per game, especially when Philly was playing in that game.
Adam, helmets have improved 1,000% since the 90's but the NHL rules about how they are worn and secured is still in the 70's. Truth is you could eliminate every contusion, abrasion, laceration, broken tooth, broken nose and all eye injuries with some simple helmet adjustments but the NHL will never do because it would mean the end of hockey's main attraction. FIGHTING!
Scott Stevens the career ender...would love to see you react to one of the most infamous moments in hockey history if you haven't already: Scott Stevens flattens Paul Kariya... buddy looked like he died, he was out cold. Then Kariya somehow keeps playing and scores an insane goal and the commentator loses his mind. If you've heard of Scott Stevens you've heard of this hit and the legendary sequence that followed. All of this was in the Stanley cup final too. just crazy
begining of 90s almost all players in nhl had to wear a helmet, unless you played since 1980 or something. so players wouldnt fasten it that tight, some wouldnt even fasten it. 88 to 96 was the best years, my childhood. best nhl game was 93 or 2009
I remember seeing Trevor Linden hit that guy through the glass back in the day, the guy was tough as nails and played in the 94' finals with broken ribs and a broken nose.
Stevens was hands down the dirtiest player of all time. every game he was looking to end someones career. and if you notice there was not 1 fight after those hits. players today are too soft.
I was at that game where linden put him through the glass. Helmets came off easier because a lot of players didn’t want to be even be wearing them and had the chin strap so loose it was basically a hat.
It's not glass anymore, it's plexi, basically plastic. But, back in the day it was legit tempered glass. The same stuff in your windshield of your car, just thicker.
@@VinPerry No, it's not. The Players Association lobbied to remove all the seamless glass in the league by the start of the 2011-2012 season. Here's the literal quote: "Following the boards and glass review, the NHL agreed that the six NHL arenas that have seamless tempered glass would be required to be replaced with a safer plexiglass system by the start of the 2011-12 season.

In the time that Stevens played, most of his hits were perfectly legal. They've only tightened up on head contact within the past 15 years or so.
Yeah the amount of dudes in their 60’s who’s brains turned to spaghetti during the 80’s and 90’s became quite alarming lol
5 years

Targeting the head was never legal, especially by sticking your elbow out
@@ramezh28 targeting the head was legal, but leading with the elbow was not.
You should watch 2 Red Wings, Kronwall and Konstantinov. Both had a video highlight package that would play on the jumbotron before games to get the fans going.
Stevens played right on the edge you had to keep your head on a swivel when he was on the ice
The helmets are actually built to fall off to prevent concussions and other head injuries
I absolutely love watching your reactions. Watching NHL in the mid to late 90s for me was all about the Detroit Red Wings and the Russian 5. I loved watching that whole team play.

I love how with every time he watches hockey, he learns something new. I was there when he first reacted to hockey, and I’m here now.
NHL 94 on the Genesis is the best NHL game ever!!
I concur 👍🏻
Cant remember which 90's NHL game it was that was my first as a kid but 2004 was always my favourite. It could have been 94 because my first console experience was a genesis but cant remember it was my stepdads and he had a bunch of games on it

This is the answer
98 had the best intro movie of all time
It’s terrifying when those blades leave the ice!
Especially after we saw what can happen with Petgrave on Johnson. Of course, the difference is Petgrave did it on purpose and I hope the British courts throw the book at him.

This is the hockey i grew up with. 80s and 90s hockey was the best in my opinion.
I wish I watched the dead puck era
They got rid of the glass for a reason lol

I get that with Reaves. Hate him
NHL Legacy Edition is better than 14.
Back then hockey was a different breed lol
Have Adam done a reaction to the vladiator? Vladimir Konstantinov? Would love that.
damn 4 minute video?
Kozlov was seeing 5 of everything after that hit 😮
You're actually watching a Don Cherry rockem sockem segment....
1:06 bro was a spider on your lap 😂
The age of the enforcers....It was some of those huge hits in the 90's that made for some of the rules today that keep people safer.
NHL14 GM mode i took montreal and played all games for 24 seasons...at that point i had guys named Evgeny Crosby or Pavel Kovalev getting retired with amazing careers 🤣
NHL 2003
please do an all time hits for Scott stevens he was a monster!!!
Off the Floor On the Board
NHL 14 was my life for a long time! I jumped from NHL 14 to NHL 19, that’s how long I played it for
the last NHL game i played was 15 on ps3, but, i didn't like it , my favourite is 09 on the PS2
The 90's was the age of enforcers. A lot of familiar names known for their big hits as well as a few known player rivalries
I'd say more like the 70s was the age of enforcers. Also the age of no less then 10 bench clearing brawls per game, especially when Philly was playing in that game.
CHRIS PRONGER reaction please

According to this video; Pittsburgh's not hitting anybody, and we're not hitting anybody.
I don't think this is true.
Sry bit NHL hits is the best😅 Speaking of which, you should give it a try on your gaming channel. It's A real fun game

Blades of steel is the best hockey game followed by mutant hockey league then NHL 95

I got put thru the glass in junior back in the early 90's. It isn't much fun and makes you humble real quick.
On the ice I would destroy you even though I am a goalie. LMFAO
I remember seeing Trevor Linden hit that guy through the glass back in the day, the guy was tough as nails and played in the 94' finals with broken ribs and a broken nose.
Would love to see a you react to Patrick Kane Career Highlights
NHL2005 is the _UNDISPUTED_ 🐐!!!
“The ice looks colder [back then].” Lmfao you crack me up dude.
Stevens was a clean player; his hits were legal. Not a dirtball, a damn fine defenseman.
NHL '93 on Sega Genesis was/is the best hockey game. Period.
I’ve been boycotting the last 2 NHL games but bet I could beat the wheels off u in chel bruh
Yeah NHL 14 is. And I’m a 80s kid saying that lol
They didn't like thier chin straps tight. All way too loose
Broad Street Bullies and The Legion of Doom
Nhl 15 was my favorite honestly!
Stevens was hands down the dirtiest player of all time. every game he was looking to end someones career. and if you notice there was not 1 fight after those hits. players today are too soft.
I was at that game where linden put him through the glass.
Helmets came off easier because a lot of players didn’t want to be even be wearing them and had the chin strap so loose it was basically a hat.
How u a pro hockey player this surprised at these hits? U should be well aware how hockey was played
NHL 08 holds a special place in my heart too
You should react to Niklas Kronwall hits
NHL 14 was probably the best had a ton of game modes
mate for me nhl 2006 is best and lets battle 1 on 1 on the real ice come to australia and I will beat you
Great to see that you know enough about the game to know a scott stevens hit when you see it ! lol
most if not all of us know you do not mess with the goalie. !!!!
When are you going to react to the biggest lacrosse hits?
Adam, another one to check out is ulf samuelson vs cam neely saga
That was the first NHL that I was actually good at, but ‘09 will always be my favourite because of the nostalgia lol
I have bought every EA Hockey since 1992 from Sega through PC to Xbox, NHL24 is the first year I finally said enough to EA. :(
Those were painful for me to see.
NHL 96 was the GOAT
it is the best of all time! i played on xbox tho
the best nhl of all time is 94
NHL 14 is dope!!
Best was NHL 10
👍
Hii I like cranking some sick 1900s styles
Do a reaction to the goal horns for this season in the nhl!
Yes NHL 14 was the goat, never was as good after it
It's not glass anymore, it's plexi, basically plastic. But, back in the day it was legit tempered glass. The same stuff in your windshield of your car, just thicker.
It's still glass and it still shatters

@@cmac3530 yes it is republican
@@VinPerry Ok buddy, good luck fighting the demons you create inside your own head...
dude. best nhl game ever!
That Game Was My Childhood
#WeWantCody
🤣🤣🤣
Now don't go calling Scott Stevens a dirtball. In the time, his hits were clean as can be and promoted. That's my OG captain
