New York Ranger's 1994 championship....the Oiler's 6th cup
In Edmonton we always referred to them as the New York Oilers
Future Captain of the Vancouver Canucks… chip?
Quit using the Oilers as the Champions in 1994. It makes everyone including you sound like idiots! Once Wayne Gretzky was traded many of his teammates including Mark Messier wanted to leave too. Did it ever occur that some of them may have wanted to play together in New York?
St Albert boy❤
I was his paperboy in 1983. He used to leave a cheque in the mailbox with my name on it as a tip once in a while, to make sure I put the paper in the mailbox and not on the porch, where I would not see the cheque. At Christmas time, it was quite generous. Super intimidating, but super nice guy.
He still fills the t-shirt out like a man in his Prime...he has the old Warriors look.
It always has been and it always will be a business
It's ridiculous and stupid how haters claim it was really the Edmonton Oilers who won the 94 Cup. When really it was a business decision for many of the Former Oiler players wanted to leave Edmonton after Wayne was traded. They knew the team was heading downhill and were looking to play somewhere else and many of them were fortunate to end up in New York which helped the young guys grow
80's Oilers scored more than 4 Goals a game, they had to, GA were 3.58
You have that backwards- they allowed 3.58 GA because they scored 4 GF- when they played against a game that did not allow them to score 4 gf they did not allow 3.58 ga either- the 80's Oilers could and did play defensive hockey too, just now people have edited that part out
They scored close to 6 per game, sport.
Hey guys, let's get one of the top players in hockey history on the show and keep asking him what it's like to play with Wayne Gretzky.
Love Messier but yr wearing the wrong t-shirt, should be an Oiler shirt. Yr from Edmonton.
He retired as a Ranger
@@robr177 who cares, he will always be an Oiler regardless.
U won another one in 90 I was working in madagascar
0:59 That seems to be something you need to have a dynasty. You have to be able to play any style.
Orr said that about the Bruins in his autobiography. (For their mini-dynasty.)
Dryden said that about the Habs in a documentary.
Jeff Marek said that about the Islanders.
Messier says that about the Oilers.
1:10 “If you can’t beat them in the alley, you’ll never beat them in the streets.”
What’s the difference between street and alley?
I think alley means tough game and streets means skilled game.
"Streets" is supposed to be on the ice or rink. Meaning if you aren't tough enough you won't be able to win the hockey game
As an Oilers fan in the 80s, I really didn’t give a $hit about expanding the game in the south.
Gretzky getting sold to LA was a garbage move.
The Oilers would have won 8 cups if the owner actually had the money to keep the team together.
The real reason Gretzky was traded was the the dirt-bag owner of the team (Pocklington) was in deep financial trouble. That was just the beginning of his run to bankruptcy. People seem to forget about that.
Nope. Gretzky orchestrated that trade and Pocklington agreed to be the fall guy. You think Gretzky’s aspiring actress newlywed wife was okay living in Edmonchuck? I have an invisible bridge to sell you. He got too big for Edmonton and wanted out. He was guest starring on The Young and Restless and judging Dance Fever. He wanted the LA lifestyle.
@@neilm2794 She wasn't really an aspiring anything. When she married him, in Edmonton, not his home town, not hers; she had already won the lottery.
The Gretzky trade made the 1990 cup possible. Without it...I'm not sure they win it in '90.
You're right because they would've been too tired from winning the 89 Cup.
The '90 cup was due to a year of playoff upsets. Once the Oil got past the Flames it was like the sea parted and their path was cleared. The Gretzky trade was - and still is - a stinker of a deal. The trade that gave the Oilers a competitive team was shipping Jimmy Carson to Detroit for Joe Murphy, Adam Graves and Petr Kilma all three of whom had a critical role in that run.
Seems he ALMOST answered that last question directly (about Gretzky wanting to leave or not), but then realized he was about to give away the truth and ended up deflecting and said the safe answer lol
Gretzky just accepted that he was leaving. Not a want.
There have been a lot of interviews where he answered that question. No, he didn't want to leave at that time, obviously. But, LA was where he wanted to go if he was going to be traded.
.....while wearing a Rangers shirt.😂
It was hard to belive lots of mad people
👍
You did win more cups .
HEHEHE I WON WITHOUT GRETZKEY HEHEHEEHHEEHHH GOOMBAWAYNE HEHEHEHEH
Wearing a Rangers jersey... Boo.
The 1992 Hart Trophy was embarrassing, giving it to Messier. Mario Lemieux with 24 more points in 15 fewer games than Messier, and Brett Hull with 70 goals in 73 games whereas Messier scored goals 35 in 79 games. DOH! Messier definitely wasn't the most valuable player to his team that year. Embarrassing from the Professional Hockey Writers' Association.
Embarrassing comment.
Looking at the stats only and making assumptions based on numbers are proof you’re a casual.
Now take your little phone and search why he won it. Google is your friend.
🤦🏻♂️
Was the Lester B Pearson embarrassing too?
You know the trophy awarded to the most valuable player as voted by his peers. I guess you know more than NHL players too.
Casual.
This dude was the most over-rated rat in NHL history. The mythology of being a great leader was belied by his craven antics in Vancouver. A real PoS.
Later trollboy, you don't know 💩
@@loilt5091 I know a rat when I see one.
That "overrated rat" as you call him only sits 3rd all-time in NHL scoring.
@@JonnSolo
Both he and #99 retired 1-2 in all-time NHL scoring…the guy’s a garden variety punk, hiding behind his keyboard anonymity. Likely the offspring of a Raincouver rioter, living in mommy’s basement.
@@loilt5091No they didn't Jagr is 2nd all-time in scoring.
My GOODNESS I hate Messier!!! As a long time Oilers fan I can say he’s the biggest cheap shot artist and coward I’ve EVER seen play!
