I was just thinking about Craig the other day when I went to look up Gretzky lazily coughing up the puck to Yzerman to beat the Blues in OT. I saw Craig on the bench, I'd forgotten he was a Blue that year.
I'm going to be 40 in just over a month...Been a hardcore fan of the NHL since I was 5 and I've NEVER heard of the Drunk Driving accident. Nice Video !
@@powerhouse9868 you’re just older than me, I can understand how you have less going on in your life to focus on stuff like this tho…Is BINGO before OR after Matlock….
I know you mentioned his scoring a couple of times and he could chip in his goals but he was never really asked to. His defensive play, his hockey IQ, & faceoff acumen kept him playing for as long as he did.
I am not trying to make light of anything here, as that drunk driving incident was tragic, but I never thought I'd see a You Tube video including a shot of the Golden Banana.
Thank you for that very uplifting and edifying report on a fatal error and tragedy redeemed. Your take on this story was spot on- you did MacTavish and the Foote family justice.
He learned from his big mistake which is why a 2nd chance for him is probably a good thing. And him trying to young guys told his mistake may a saved a life or two
I'm going through these comments and I cannot believe how many people agree to its a good thing he was given a second chance.He learned from his big mistake ?.what did he learn ? Oh if I drink and drive I could kill someone ? is this what he learned .Oh I better not do this again .He learned nothing he is a POS he gets to live she is dead .HE STILL HAS FREEDOM TO DO WHAT EVER HE WANTS .Bullshit to that .He did one year in jail ,pathetic and you think its a good thing he got a second chance .He should still be in prison he should have never gotten out .Pathetic and so are you for thinking this way . He is a killer plain and simple and the worst kind ,he deliberately made a decision to drive while drunk, and every person he drove past was at risk that night ,he has no right to endanger people lives, he deserves nothing . he deserves to be rotting in a prison cell.
Forgiveness is through the love of Jesus Christ, the family had that grace and forgave McTavish. The only difference between McTavish and myself at that time is that I never hit anyone while driving drunk. Everyone deserves a second chance. Congratulations Craig for turning it around with the vast help and prayers of that woman's family. God bless the family for they are true believes in the Lord our God.
Yeah he doesn't deserve a second chance at all, he committed a crime and killed someone .Leave the religious shit out of it . He was impaired and made a decision to drive and killed some one .This is murder with a vehicle .Are you going g to say it isn't ? He deserves to be in prison still this is where he should be . Kim Radley is dead because of this POS.He got to continue his career and has his life, and freedom . But yeah he is sorry ,he didn't mean to kill her ,he didn't mean for it to happen.And you and your god shit leave that for Sundays .Dont bring that bullshit up when someones life was taken and someone committed a crime , he doesn't deserve forgiveness he deserves to be in prison .
@@christopherhopkins949 Sorry don't agree with that at all. Drunk driving causing death is worse than murder. You are risking everyone around you while you are driving impaired.Killed one person ,fortunate that it was only one ,but what gives him the right to do such a horrible act. Oh he used poor judgement, bullshit to that nonsense. One year in prison that's the problem with the justice system, there isn't one .Why does he deserve another chance ,why ? He made a mistake , and he will have to live with it the rest of his life ? Bullshit to that let his ass rot in jail for the rest of his life .Why do people get off with killing people when they are driving impaired ?Absolute nonsense .Anyone caught impaired driving 2 years in jail no time off for good behaviour, second offence 10 years ,third life in jail plain and simple .What give anyone the right to drive a vehicle impaired its a form of attempted murder ,they are putting every persons life at risk that they drive past or near . There is no way anyone should have forgiven this POS for doing such a terrible crime ,and for the family to forgive him for it ,is ludicrous.Why should he have a life and freedom when he committed a crime and took another persons life ,and zero accountability, what a year in jail big deal. Wake up people this is what is wrong with society .Awe he didn't mean it ,he's sorry , he wont do it again .pathetic,just pathetic.
I started watching hockey when I was 5 in 1985. I could never figure out as a young kid why he wasn't wearing a helmet. When I was older and understood the helmet rule I couldn't figure why he would want to play without a helmet given how dangerous the sport was. As an adult they introduced the mandatory visor rule and I think it's ridiculous. If it was truly a safety thing the players would all be wearing full shields with neck and wrist guards. Let the players decide. As far as Kim Radley goes, Craig is lucky the family was as forgiving as they were. If that was my daughter, I wouldn't have been.
Rough one. You can argue back and forth on this one. Should he have served more time? Should he have been allowed to play in the NHL again? He certainly seems like he's sorry for what happened and has tried to make amends
How can you argue back and forth .There is no fucking argument .Impaired driving causing death is a crime.Vehicular manslaughter is a crime .He should still be in jail . What gives him the right to drive impaired and kill someone .Its basically murder.SEEMS LIKE HE SORRY ,I GUESS HE IS SORRY , FFS , what is wrong with people .he killed someone while driving impaired .There is no amends ,hes just lucky her parents were religious nuts. He deseveres nothing ,and he has it all. She is dead and he is living a free life ,got to continue his career ,absolute bullshit .
I actually played my first competetive hockey as a 16 year old against Men.....and i couldnt afford a helmet. This was 70's Pittsburgh. By 20..??!dressedOut and doing college Scholarship thing
Well I was going to say that 1 year seemed pretty low but in the grand scheme of things, at least the way its being presented here, is that he was able to work with the parents and actually try and do more good. In which maybe that had a snowball effect and saved lives
Dany Heatley anyone? These are unfortunate and unrespectable acts of civil life. Evident of personal problems. We all have these but these are extremes. Whatever you feel is messed or wrong. Go see a pro. They are for that. Neither of these ever had to happen. MacTavish era it was way more hush. I am glad the players sign in for the player assistance program. These guys take bone breaking hits, perform like pros still all night long, specially playoffs. That alone can't be treated only on opiates "because you want to play and think you get up next season". I respect immensely all players who drop the towel and join assistance program as I seen my professional previous career what that would mean to keep it going. Despite all we think maybe, the world has gone lenghts from MacTavish era.
Yeah absolutely pathetic ,he should still be there the POS, how any one can even suggest that its ok hes sorry ,or he made amends with her family is ludicrous.He should still be in jail, pathetic the justice system is a joke . Kim Radley is dead and he gets to carry on his career ,has his freedom, has his life for fuck sakes, and what blows me away is that people are okay with it .Unreal absolutely unreal.
1 year for killing someone. Meanwhile many of us are serving 10+ years to life for stealing money, avoiding taxes, having forbidden pictures on our computers, etc. 😂😂😂
Technically not the last without a helmet as players were allowed to play when their bucket was knocked off , unlike today were they have too skate off right away
@@MrOctober44 No, no he didn't he got behind the wheel of his car impaired and killed Kim Radley .Thats what he did .He spent one year in jail for it .He deserves to still be. in prison.What makes him so goddamn special .He killed someone with a car ,its murder with a vehicle for christ sakes .

Shorter video today! Thank you all for the support 💯 LMK should the next deep dive be on Jagr or Selanne? 👀
Mario Lemieux
Selanne i feel like he deserves some love everyone still talks about jagr
Show me the greatest rookie season (also a big fan of Kariya and the ducks)
Selanne because Jagr is still playing. Wait until he retires, I hope you live that long

Great story, but I believe that Doug Wilson was the last player to not wear a helmet.
Doug Wilson retired after the 92-93 season, MacTavish continued playing lidless until after the 96-97 season.
