Had the rotten luck of playing in the Smythe and seemingly losing in the first round to the Oilers, but what a player. Played the right way. Easily the most underrated player ever, and a class act.
Nice Homage, couple points he did not get in HOF on his first Ballot which was a joke and the story of his career, number 2 he was the player of the game in that series winning CC game you mention , and when he retired he was 14th all time in scoring, he has been passed since then, also although he had a long career he was only 34 at the time of retirement due to hip injuries.and his jersey was hung in the WPG arena a couple of years ago and a statue is in the works , and finally he was instrumental in the Jets drafting Mark Scheifele as he was his coach in Barrie and recommended him to Chevy great to see Ducky remembered
Watched him and Gilmour win the memorial Cup in 1981 in Windsor, that Cornwall team was one of the best ever and then he went on to be a great player for everyone he suited up for!!
I got to love Dale from his time with the Sabres even though the goal scoring declined. He worked his butt off every night and still put up points. If not for that Gretzky guy that I also love, he would have gotten a HART. RIP my friend. 🙏
What a player. We forget what a stud this guy was. Durable. Anybody that can put up more than a point/game in the NHL, especially for some of these weaker teams, is deserving of a ton of respect. Those fantastic assist/ setup numbers are proof of an intelligent playmaker. Exactly what you'd expect from an elite talent. I remember his skating ability, which was tops--always there. Like you note, the Hart is a TEAM award too. Your team must make the playoffs for you to be considered. As if being voted the second best player in the NHL is a sleight.
The most underrated player of all time. Overlooked all the time because he didn't play in major markets, not much media hype. But if you base it on stats alone, he was one of the best ever. His stats puts him in the league of a Joe Sakic and Steve Yzerman, Guy Lafleur territory, but he basically put up those stats you see on the board all by himself. Think of the talent that surrounded Lafleur, Sakic, and Yzerman, now name me the talent that Dale had?, go on I'm listening. In this respect, he is above Sakic, Lafleur and Yzerman. Only played 15 seasons in the league unlike those other players, but got comparable numbers. Like I said, the most underrated player ever.
But he played for bad teams more his career that's why people don't compare him to those lofty players. Also He never produced 150+ points like Yzerman, i'd put Steve and Joe above him and Guy above them... Layered cake... But he's a hall of famer and in my books a top 100 player of all-time, i'd put him over Jonathon Toesthumbs any day!
Miss players like.dale .to date the only guy I know of who scored by flipping the puck right over the back of the net putting it in off the goalie (Mike Palmateer)s back . What a great guy and hockey player !
Dale was awsome and sure the most bright star on the team...But as a swede I must say that Thomas Steen was a pretty good guy working in the background!
Hawerchuk was regarded as a mini-Gretzky by some hockey writers and fans. He may very well have been the best center in the NHL who played for a team other than Edmonton. I always enjoyed watching him play and his arrival in Winnipeg enabled the team to shed its previous two years all but instantly, and catapult the Jets to respectability. Unfortunately; the team's move into the Smythe Division was a death sentence and any meeting with the Oilers spelled an instant playoff exit. As was the case with Marcel Dionne; Hawerchuk was the star player of a team paralyzed in mediocrity. He was the face of the Jets and, now taken well before his time, he will be greatly missed.
It's a shame that Dale didn't get all of the love and respect from the NHL community while he was alive that he's been getting since he passed away. He was, without a doubt, the most underrated and unappreciated superstar of the last 40 years. One correction; Dale did NOT get elected to the HOF in his first year of eligibility. Denis Savard and Joe Mullen (!), who were also in their first year of eligibility in 2000, both made it even though Hawerchuk had more points and was productive longer than Savard and he had far more points than Mullen who got in so quickly because he was a great American player. What a disgrace. We Winnipeggers made quite a stink about that slight and sent a petition to make sure he got in the next year, which he did. The second big slap in the face, which you didn't mention, was his being left off of the 2017 100 greatest players of all time. I watched the announcement program and even though I half expected it, I was still in disbelief that they would leave one of the top 20 scorers of all time off the roster. There are at least a half dozen forwards on the list that are less deserving. Another disgrace. Finally, Dale didn't just win the draw that set up Mario's winning goal against the Russians in 1987, he was also named the most valuable player of the game. Not many people remember that because it's rarely mentioned. I remember being thrilled when they announced it after the game.
I recall someone suggesting the initial snub by the HHOF may have been symptomatic of the NHL not wanting to attract attention to the defunct franchise that went on to do nothing but lose multi-millions annually in the Arizona desert.
Lets not overlook Duckys endurance. First 7 seasons missed one game. Had the iron man streak for a while. 7 games missed through the Jets era. I think he missed 6 in four years in Buffalo. 13 games in 13 years. Then the lockout happened and his hip became an issue,and ultimately ended his career.
He was a superduperstar in the last half of the 80s and first half of the 90s. Had he not played in god awful markets he would have been looked upon as a winner, not a loser. Going to the Sabres was supposed to bring him over the top, but the trade was two years too late in my very enlightened opinion. Had he been an oiler instead of say Glen jerk Anderson or Simpson or Messier he would be a multi cup winner and NHL legend all fans would know of. He was on the wrong teams at the wrong Time…but, he had fun in Winnipeg on a nonsense team with nothing to lose.
Who has the record for least goals but most assists in a season. 16 goals to 80 assists has to be in the top 5! I forgot he played for the Blues and Flyers!!
Your comment inspired me to spend a couple of hours compiling this list of goals to assists: Jimmy Thomson 0 to 29 Matt Carle 1 to 39 Teppo Numminen 2 to 38 Henrik Sedin 3 to 47 Jeff Norton & Brian Campbell 4 to 49 Borje Salming 5 to 61 Jakub Voracek 6 to 56 Scott Stevens 7 to 61 Quinn Hughes 8 to 60 Tomas Kaberle 9 to 58 Henrik Sedin 10 to 71 Joe Thornton 11 to 65 Sergei Zubov 12 to 77 Adam Oates 13 to 69 Henrik Sedin 14 to 67 Brian Leetch 15 to 70 Dale Hawerchuk 16 to 80 Phil Housley 18 to 79 Henrik Sedin 19 to 75 Joe Thornton 22 to 92 Craig Janney 24 to 82 Adam Oates 25 to 90 Ron Francis 27 to 92 Joe Thornton 29 to 96 Doug Gilmour 32 to 95 Bobby Orr 37 to 102

All those guys except Verbeek had 2 50 goal seasons. Tkachuk led the league in goals. Roenick had 3 100 point seasons. I'd put them all in though. Pat Verbeek played a very physical game and played a lot of years.
“We’re going to switch things up”. Shannon, would love to see you do a series of videos about those trades when management made decisions to trade players where it may not have the best of ideas. Right now, all these voices on-line want the Jets to trade Laine for just about anything. Down the road? Who else, now or in the past, would you pick for questionable trade that seemed right to the GM?
Dough Gilmore in Calgary lol ... Hmmm Winnipeg though .. Hmmm ... Obviously the Finnish Flash. But I think Dave Babych. Just sunk that team after he left
Well yes, you have to be a very very good ice hockey player to reach NHL 1000 games and get a ring but would still trade him for Keith Tkachuk any day of the week...
If the Jets were in the Norris division, they would eventually run into the Oilers or Flames. I believe if they took out the Oilers in 1990, instead of letting the Oilers come back from a 3-1 deficit, they would have reached the finals and won the Cup.
The concept of the Hart trophy is pretty bizarre. By the book definition, a journeyman player on a team of beer leaguers who gets 50 points and the team finishes dead last with 20 points absolutely should win the Hart trophy, garnering every single first place vote. It doesn't make a lot of sense that being on a bad team validates you for an MVP award. In reality, it's very nebulous as to what factors are considered.
In one of the last final games against those Wings Konstantinov leveled him. Sad ending to his career in a way. RIP Dale! ruclips.net/video/clbyBCA4Tbs/видео.html
He wasn't a first year ballot hall of famer. 2000 was his first year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame. But the Winnipeg faithful put up such a fuss- and a petition to boot!- that the Hall relented the next year and reluctantly put him in- as the final symbolic cold shoulder to punctuate the underratedness of his super productive hockey career, apropos... But he remains to be among his ranks within the top 100 list of all time... Another travesty served up cold to Ducky from the hockey community... Next time get drafted to a big market team as an American to ensure overrated glory amongst your polit-umm-hockey society...

Can't believe he was not put in top 100 players of all time

Sam Sneed seriously... ludicrous!
Makes my top 25
Tell me about it.
He played for bad teams for most his career...
RIP
was the MVP of the final game of the CC in 87
Had the rotten luck of playing in the Smythe and seemingly losing in the first round to the Oilers, but what a player. Played the right way. Easily the most underrated player ever, and a class act.
A legend here in Cornwall.
Was proud to have him as a Royal.
close where i love. Ottawa.
Dale Hawerchuk is # 38 all-time in NHL regular season goals, with 518.
Phenomenal player... i’d rank him with along Yzerman and Savard... just a tier down from Lemieux and Gretzky
You're high...
I remember him best in Canada Cup '87.

Miss players like.dale
.to date the only guy I know of who scored by flipping the puck right over the back of the net putting it in off the goalie (Mike Palmateer)s back . What a great guy and hockey player !
Gretzky scored a lot of goals like that, by shooting the puck in the back of the goalie while he was in "the office" behind the net.
Even though he was in the twilight of his career, I did enjoy seeing him live with the Blues that last year.
Loved watching #10 play in Wpg. Hawerchuk and Selane would have been a fans dream. RIP.

Fantastic and gifted player.
I know it doesn’t matter but I hope this video stays at zero thumbs down.
one extra bit about the Blues stint, he was benched by Keenan when his terminally ill grandmother was in attendance for the final time, then traded
Great tribute to a great player Shannon, thank you.
Yeah RIP Dale, great great player. Always wished he was a Ranger.
Excellent recap. I loved Dale Hawerchuck’s pure skills and after his performance in the 87 Canada Cup, I am a lifelong fan.
Love this video. R.I.P. Ducky.
I've been super busy with schoolwork the past few days and have been playing your videos in the background. Thanks for keeping me sane.

Finally! Thought THG decided to skip a Hawerchuk video for whatever reason. Better late than never!
Might be the most underrated player in nhl history. Rip dale.
Incredible career.
Ducky had amazing skill at young age.
Huge asset to Jets hockey back in 1980's.

They are putting a statue of him in the next month or two about 20 min from my apartment
I like Hawerchuk, but he couldn't win the awards when Gretzky was lighting up the league. Just impossible
Did he play in Buffalo with Lafontaine?
Yes
Had the Jets not got robbed of all their players coming out of the WHA they might have won a cup or two.
