- Meet Phil Espositio.If you clicked this video, there’s a good chance you know who this player is. The NHL scumbag who traded his loyalty for a roll of the dice and a bottle of booze, all while betraying the trust of his family and fans. If you used to watch Ice hockey in the 60s, I’m sure you know who I’m talking about. Yes. The same guy who led Team Canada with his passionate speech after a crushing Game 4 loss in the 1972 Summit Series, hyping up both his teammates and fans while also ending up somehow cheating on his wife.#hockey

That speech changed the series for Canada and disagree with what you say about Phil back in his day fighting was part of the game and what he did off the ice is none of our business
I agree. You sound like a fool grandson!
He not only led Team Canada with that speech, he was also the top scorer of the tournament.
This is total garbage. This was back in Hockey’s greatness and to hear some idiot talk about something they never saw is ridiculous.
I’m tired of this day and age always trying to tear down this era
Dude's full of shit no doubt about it. LOL
I agree. what he does in his personal life is his business no this idiot!
This is total crap. He in no way divided the 72 team. He was absolutely the team leader. This video is absolutely lame.
this young fool does not have clue Ken!
this dork commentator is nothing but click bait on sport figures.
Phil was Team Canada Leader in '72.
These b.s. videos are like the Media, try to drag you under no matter what.
Screw your channel, Phil will Always be my favorite player 🔥🔥🔥😎💯
I used to drink with Phil and later Tony back in the day in a bar north of Chicago. I had nothing but fun partying with half the Blackhawks team after our games had ended. Jim McMahon ended up buying that bar a long time later.
This is a terrible site. Espo was a great leader.
You do not plan on creating an addiction. Cocaine is a very affective substance. If Espo was addicted, he was one of thousands that fell into that trap. I watched him in Boston in the 60.s and 70’s. He was a great player and team captain. That is how I will remember him.
I do not know who put this video together but if it’s found out, you better not show your face in Boston. Why would anyone want to make something like this?
only a young, uneducated fool would make this crap!
Click bait garbage we have here !!
Espo is one of the greatest hockey players ever period. He was the leader of Team Canada 1972. Phil was the key of why Canada won that series. He was a goal scoring machine with the greatest player ever Bobby Orr.
I can't tell if this is tongue-in-cheek or a clickbait hit piece. Espo was one of the greatest players ever, and if he partied it up and banged a few hosebags, well good for him.
It's too bad that RUclips doesn't let you see how many THUMBS DOWN a video gets because I'll bet that the thumbs down number is GREATER THAN thumbs up by a country mile. Ai sucks!
Show me somebody that goes through life with no mistakes
As a Ranger fan who was often frustrated by Espo constantly beating us, let me say this seem to be a bunch of rubbish.
This was a man who wasn’t perfect, but he was a person. This is not cool to go this far, and how many times can you say “his wife”? All players back then for the most part spent the summers playing softball and having beers…that was training back then. My uncle used to play softball with him and Tony.
The only thing he did that I didn’t like was trying to sell the very team that his father and Bumbacco and such built…..The GreyHounds. The Central Park became that after it was Esposito park, and all due to the loyalty this town has for its hockey team. We turned it around and the team seems to be well adjusted, and managed now.
This is absolute click bait.
Phil Esposito had the record for most points in one season and goals with 76 but not assists with 76 in 78 games for 152 points. It wasn't until a kid named Gretzky broke his record and Orr's assist record along with it about 10 years later that someone else had it.
I dont believe one word of this.
His career was never tarnished. 717 goals. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For this click bait bs.
he is a legend. None of this stuff means anything. He brought hocked to tampa. He was the leader for team canada in 72 he did alot of the game and he is still a legend. Most of this stuff is just a load of crap. Even Gretzky delved into things he shouldnt have. Nobody is perfect. Phil is and always will be a legend
Video was strictly bullshit Phil Esposito speech united the team go on the beat the Russians I seen the series I was there. I know what happened so I don’t know where this robot his bullshit tries to tear this guy down like, what kind of crap is that I’m listening to these videos. It’s just crap brought on by some robottotal bullshit team Canada won because of that speech never to be forgotten Phil was team Canada and thank God that he said what he said God love you, Phil you won the series for Canada over the Russians and you’ll always be remembered for that. Thank you Phil. Thank you.
I remember phil playing for st catherines tee pees 1962 they lost to hamilton red wings in playoffs phil went on to be a great pro
Absolutely loving the ratio going on here. Well done folks. Garbage video, hit piece by someone who clearly has an ax to grind against Phil.
What a piece of shyte hit job this is. Espo was a player that put every thing into every shift he played, The talk he gave at the end of game four of the Summit series , unified the players even more and fired up the Country . What went on with other teams he was involved with, is no different than what any other coach or manager would do. His personal life is not for any one else to judge.
J'ignore comment je suis amené ici mais je n'ai que de bons souvenirs de Phil Esposito et de son frère.Quant à mon collègue Ralf Esposito, je lui souhaite une bonne santé...bancaire. Il sera le seul à saisir le message.
Okay this video has at least 4 or 5 reasons to be reported which I gladly do. Phil was always a nemesis to my team the Flyers but I always respected him as one of the top sports icons of the 1970-s. Guys, if you fed up with this bullshit that this guy does join me and report this harmful and misleading clickbait.
I've been a fan of his for 6 decades. NEVER did I hear any of this. Did (his ex wife) make this as a revenge tactic? WHERE is the proof?
who cares. what he did in his personal life was his business not the fans!
The narrative here is antagonistic and obviously from some one not well versed in hockey culture. Was he perfect, no. His cheating on his wife is almost a guarantee for any superstar athlete in any sport. Drinking is a societal norm for 98% of hockey players, cocaine not so much. You never even mention the emotional toll his daughters sudden death had on him. And those so called "garbage goals" came with consequences. Those being a boat load of slashes, cross checks and butt ends to stay affixed in the slot. Eddie Giacomin, the Rangers goalie during Esposito's heyday said something like this when people brought up Esposito's so called "garbage goals" he said, some guys couldn't shoot the puck in the ocean off a pier from the slot, meaning they couldn't keep their focus on getting off a shot on goal as they were being slashed, cross checked, or butt ended in the slot. And what nonsense is the creator of this NHL ICONS channel trying to sell about Espo's iconic CBC speech at Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum being on or about him, complete garbage from this creator of a channel supposedly steeped in hockey's legends. Know your subject and get your research straight, Phil Esposito flourished in the 70's not the 60's ! And please, no more intentional "hit job" retrospectives.
The video is offside…
This is click bait crap here.
AI generated content is the most annoying
I’ll call bullshit 💩
Does anyone write nice things about stars anymore? What's the point of bringing down someone about his personal life when he entertained millions with his great talent? His divorce is personal and why is that a focal point of this video.....we don't know what went wrong in his marriage as onbody knows what goes in your marriage. Keep this BS out.....if you can't say nicer things shut the hell up!
"Artificial intelligene?" Fake intelligence more like it. Read his autobiorgraphy. He's honest about the damage he's done and the mistakes he made. Not only will I NOT subscribte to your channel, I'm going to avoid your everytime I see your byline!
Your video is lame. Phil is a legend 🙌
Never had a wife named Donna. What with this shit video?
That's bullshit
"Relax grandpa" is so condescending and unnecessary (not to mention that it's not an argument of any kind). Why insult the people who came to see your video? You know there are a lot of people who respect the guy, don't you? What a crap video. Thumbs down.
This is trash. Absolute trash. Character assassination of the worst kind. You offer no facts, only hearsay and rumour. And to write trash like this and hide behind an AI voice is garbage.
Video does not do Esposito justice. It is crap. You forgot to point out that he was very instrumental in the beginning of starting the Tampa Bay organization. A sucsseful franchise. You stopped the documentary at the point of his play with the New York Rangers. You are an anti Esposito person. Get off of YouTtube so we don’t have to watch your bias video that was pure crap.
Boooooo
