Florida fans threw plastic rats on the ice during the 1996 playoffs after Panthers captain Scott Melanby killed a rat in the dressing room prior to a game.
11:52 Bill Barilko wins the Stanley Cup for the Toronto Maple Leafs in OT in 1951. This is significant because that summer, Barilko would die in a plane crash whilst on a fishing trip in Northern Ontario. The Leafs wouldn't win the Cup again until 1962, the year the plane wreckage was discovered. It's immortalized in a song by The Tragically Hip called "50 Mission Cap". It contains the lyric: Bill Barilko disappeared that summer The last goal he ever scored won the Leafs the Cup They wouldn't win another til 1962 The year he was discovered.
That "old-timey" goal by Barilko was his last goal before he disappeared in a plane crash in 1951. It won the Stanley Cup for the Leafs...who didn't win another Cup until his body was discovered 11 years later. The Tragically Hip song "50 Mission Cap" tells the story of the Barilko curse.
The Legend of Bill Barilko and The Toronto Maple Leafs: Bill Barilko scored the overtime winning goal for the TML in 1951 to win Lord Stanley's Trophy. That summer while on a fishing trip he disappeared in thr Canadian wilderness. The Leafs (in an era where there were only 6 teams in the league dominated by Montreal and Toronto) didn't win the Stanley Cup again until 1962, the same year Bill Barilko's body was discovered. The story became legend within the Toronto Maple Leafs organization and fan base and would later become immortalized in Canadian culture when THE Canadian Rock group The Tragically Hip wrote a song which incorporated the story from the back of a hockey card in their song 50 Mission Cap.
Honest I’m a 42 year old Canadian and I’d never heard this story. Aside from the Hip song. And played hockey all my life til my body told me to stop. This is incredible. Thank you for this history.
"5th overtime" In the regular season, there's a 5 minute OT period then shoot-outs. In the play-offs, overtime is played in regular 20 minutes periods with sudden death rule: first to score wins. The goal in the 5th overtime [period] means they played more than 2 games worth of play-offs hockey that night.
The best thing is listening to an interview with Bobby Orr he doesn't understand the excitement about the "dive". He even says he didn't dive, he just lost his balance and couldn't bring his back foot down. If you watch the video of that goal you will see his back foot being held up by the stick of another player. No dive, just a fall. But I guess that doesn't make good history.
As a devil's fan, Stevens was awesome. 99% of his hits were clean and had very low penilty minutes in his career. Has just built like a fucking mountain and hit as hard as a truck.
@@buffblood I dont disagree, but I definitely miss having a good villain like him around. Makes things more interesting with someone around to hate, ya know.
@@buffblood legal for the time in which he played. Many would be charging, hitting an unsuspecting/vulnerable player, interference (due to how late they are by today's standard), or (and this is the most likely, as evidenced by the Kariya hit) principle point of contact being the head. He changed the rules because of how well he exposed these vulnerabilities. Man could he line people up.
That would be a great idea, if he does do he should do it like Joe Rogan does his fight companion and have the time of the period in the corner so we could match up the game with the live stream
In playoffs they play as long as someone makes a goal in overtime. 1ot is 20min long so if you are in 5th ot you have already played like 140min..crazy
The longest overtime in history happened way back in 1936. It went into the 6th overtime period. By that point, you now played 9 X 20min periods. Essentially 3 games of hockey in a row.
@@Bryan46162 I played back to back 90 min sessions twice in 4 days a few weeks ago as a goalie, could barely walk up the stairs afterwards, I can't imagine doing all that in 1 night
Mellanby killed a rat in the locker room before the game and then went out and scored 2 goals and the Goalie Vanbiesbrouck dubbed it the rat trick. This also took place in 96 which was the Chinese year of the rat.
The Guy Laflure goal by Montreal Canadiens where the goalie Falls backwards it was a power-play goal where the Boston Bruins got a penalty for Too Many Men on the ice allowing Guy to tie the game in the last seconds. Montreal went on to win the game in overtime beating Boston and going on to the Stanley Cup finals where they won the fourth cup in the row. This was at a time where Boston was one of the best teams in the league and Montreal was the best team in the history of hockey. But were seconds away from being eliminated by Boston for the first time in decades... The history of the two teams is one of the greatest rivalries in all of sport. The hatred between these two teams is unrivaled
Bobby Orrs goal for Boston was Stanley cup final overtime he scored to win it and he flew it’s probably the most memorable goal in the history of the game
@@Red-wq9xl "The Flying Goal" that ever Bobby Orr laughs at since the "DIVE" happened AFTER the goal and the only reason it happened was that his back leg was held up by the stick of another player.
I will never get tired of hearing Rick Jeannerette call that Brad May goal (Buffalo Sabres). Definitely etched in history as one of the most iconic goals, just for that announcer's call.
Man he really glossed over the "OFF THE FLOOR, ON THE BOARD!" call right after talking about commentary making great goals even better. That's absolutely an all-time top 5 call in the NHL.
everyone got bigger. hockey players used to work part time like other sports. when guys get paid to go to practice and hit the gym like in modern pro sports, youre dealing with professional monsters.
"A NICE MOVE, ANOTHER NICE MOVE! HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES! RICK NASH, HOW DO YOU DO?" -The Legendary Jeff Rimer. I watched that game on tv when it was airing. My dad and I were blown away. Btw i love what you said about how a great announcer can make a goal turn into a legend. It's so true.
The game that went into a 5th overtime in the playoffs was insane. They played almost 3 hours of hockey, which is nearly 2 and a half games in a night. By the 2nd and 3rd overtimes, guys stop skating hard and every play in the zone is intense. Energy levels are completely drained and they're leaving the building past 1am.
I almost choked on my beer when you said “Scott Stevens! Why does he keep coming into my life?” Lmao . Remember he isn’t just a truck on skates, he’s a hall of famer for a reason
I was at the game when Alec Martinez scored the game winning goal in double overtime ... and the L.A. Kings won our 2nd Stanley Cup! It was the most exciting night of my life !!!
Adam: “I love commentary, it really makes the goal 100 times better” Also Adam: doesnt listen to any of the commentary and talks over it the entire time
"Raining rats" Story goes a Florida Panthers player found a rat in the dressing room and killed it with his stick before a game. He went on to score a hat trick (3 goals) with that stick. Throwing rubber rats on the ice became a good luck tradition for that team. It became so popular that the league had to step in and stop it as it was delaying the game, when thousands of rubber rats would hit the ice every time the Panthers scored.
We know it would be the Burrows 2011 "slay the dragon" goal. Either that or the Bieksa one sending the team to the finals. Possibly 1994 Bure OT Game 7 3OT.
The Matteau goal for the Rangers was a miracle goal for the miracle year, the Rangers had not won a cup since 1940 and it was thought they were cursed. Every year if they were even lucky enough to make it to the playoffs, they were blown out. Finally in 1994 they had a shot, they were slowly getting to the top until they reached the semis. They were playing the New Jersey Devils and made it to game 7, Rangers captain, Mark Messier promised New Yorkers and Rangers fans across the country that... "We will win tonight" That quote was in big letters on the front page of every newspaper in New York. That night it was a tie game and was now in overtime, Stephan Matteau was a recently acquired Rangers trade and was traded for a well loved and very skilled player, so naturally Matteau had to earn his respect. That night in the locker room he was alone with Ed Olczyk before they took the ice for OT, Matteau told Eddie that he was gonna win this game and for good luck Eddie kissed the blade of his stick, then only moments later Matteau scored, bringing the Rangers to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1940 and they would go on to win the Stanley cup.
Anaheim Ducks: Paul Kariya goal in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final to force game 7 Arizona Coyote: OVERTIME GOAL in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals Boston Bruins: Bobby Orr wins the 1970 Stanley Cup against the Blues Buffalo Sabres: The Sabres finally beat the Boston Bruins in a sweep with the Mayday goal. Calgary Flames: This goal help them get past Edmonton in the 1989 Western Conference semifinals and they went on to win the Stanley Cup. Carolina Hurricanes: Overtime Game 7 of the 2009 Eastern Conference Semifinals Chicago Blackhawks: That goal won the Blackhawks their first Stanley Cup since 1961 Colorado Avalanche: Uwe Krupp's goal gave this team their first-ever Stanley Cup and Patrick Roy had a 64-save shutout in that game 4. Columbus Blue Jackets: That goal basically put the team on the map Dallas Stars (my team): That goal basically gave the Stars their first-ever Stanley Cup in Game 6 of the 1999 Stanley Cup Final. Minnesota fans, you can now cry. Detroit Redwings: This goal happen in game 7 of the 1997 Western Conference semifinals against the Blues. This also was the moment that Steve Yzerman stripped himself of the choker label. Edmonton Oilers: Nothing to see here. Just Wayne Gretzky walking on Calgary's courts in the mid-80s Florida Panthers: It used to be a tradition for them just throw rats on the ice. This was when the Florida Panthers were actually relevant in the mid-90s. LA Kings: Alec Martinez's goal gave the Kings their second Stanley Cup in 3 years. Minnesota Wild: That overtime goal upset kick-started the Wild's run to the 2003 Western Conference Final. Montreal: In 1979, Boston had too many men on the ice. Nashville Predators: Kevin Fiala's Game 3 goal against the Chicago Blackhawks was all the momentum they need to sweep the top seed in the West in the 2017 Western Conference first-round. That was one of the few goals you actually missed. New Jersey Devils: Jason Arnott's goal gave the Devils their second Stanley Cup. NY Islanders: That goal came in overtime in Game 6 of the 1980 Stanley Cup Final and it was the first of four straight Stanley Cups. NY Rangers: This goal propelled the Rangers to the 1994 Stanley Cup Final where they would beat the Vancouver Canucks in seven games to when they're first cup in 54 years. The 1940 chants will rest in peace. Ottawa Senators: That goal defeated the Sabres in five games in the 2007 Eastern Conference Final. Philadelphia Flyers: After 5 overtimes of non-stop action, Primeau's goal ended the game and was a turning point in that series. Pittsburgh Penguins: Mario Lemieux made himself an NHL legend with that goal in Game 1 against the Minnesota North Stars and the Pens went on to win the Stanley Cup in six games San Jose Sharks: This was another overtime game 7 goal and it propelled the Sharks to the 1995 Western Conference Semifinals. St Louis Blues: This was a controversial goal that led to the blues sweeping the Chicago Blackhawks and Ed Belfour, the Blackhawks goaltender, was pissed. Tampa Bay Lightning: Thanks to the PHANTOM GOAL, Martin St Louis was able to get the puck past, the Flames goaltender, Kiprusoff and horse head game 7 in the 2004 Stanley Cup, which they won and claimed their first-ever Stanley Cup. That was another goal you missed. Toronto Maple Leafs: 1967, the last time this team ever won a Stanley Cup. And this was also the last year of the Original Six era, as 6 new expansion teams would be added the NHL, the year after the Maple Leafs won the Cup. Vancouver Canucks: Pavel Bure's amazing stickhandling in overtime Game 7 against the Calgary Flames in the 1994 Western Conference first-round propelled the team to the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals. Vegas Golden Knights: In the inaugural season of the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 season, new starting forward, William Karlsson, capped off an over 40-goal season with a spectacular goal against Sharks goaltender, Martin Jones. This goal not only gave him the win that night, but also clinched the Pacific Division title, one of the few expansion teams to ever clinch the division title in their inaugural season. Washington Capitals: I think you already know about this one. Although, I think of Evgeny Kuznetsov goal against the Penguins in Game 6 of the 2018 Eastern Conference Semifinals or the Devante Smith-Pelly goal against Vegas in game 5 of the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals should have been there. Winnipeg Jets: That what's Teemu Selanne, one of the most lethal goal scorers in NHL history. Also known as to Finnish Flash, he shattered the rookie goal scoring record that year with this goal made famous famous for his sniper gun celebration. And that was the fourth and last goal you missed. That's why each goal from each team is so memorable.
I’m on a Adam Couser binge. In terms of the helmets we still chuckle about how nuts these guys were. The game has a history though of being pretty violent. But also, pucks weren’t really raised off the ice too often until Stan Mikita/Bobby Hull started curving sticks for the Blackhawks. The goalies were crazier, games were routinely delayed for the goalie to get stitched up and to return as teams only had 1 goalie.
Matteau,Matteau,Matteau!! A lot of context behind that goal. It was 1994, the last Rangers Stanley Cup was 1940. A few years leading up to 94 they had really great teams that fell way to short in the playoffs. They were the best team in 92. That series with the Devils was insane. The Rangers found themselves down 3 games to 2 heading into Jersey for game 6. The day before Mark Messier in the papers Guaranteed victory. They ended up down 2-0 and the season and cup run was about to be over then in the 3rd period Messier scores a hat trick and the Rangers brought the series back to New York. One reason for it being the teams most memorable goal was the radio call by Howie Rose, one of the best calls ever. After the goal there was this huge amount of tension that was released by the team and fans. I could add more but, getting to long.
It was Mattheu's second 2 OT game winner of the series. Nothing like beating your arch rivals in 2 OT in Game 7 to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1979.
Agreed Commentators do help in us feeling the emotion. The Arnott goal for the NJ Devils was the game winning double overtime goal to win the Cup in 2000
Sabres fan here. The "Mayday" goal was scored by Brad May, who was not a scorer...he was a fighter. An "enforcer" if you will. He beat one of the Boston Defenders that is considered to be one of the best Defenders of all time. Also, I have said on other videos of yours, if you love commentary, listen to the best of Rick Jeanneret, the Buffalo Sabres announcer. He is amazing. Also, bonus explanation, the Dallas Stars most famous goal is INFAMOUS in Buffalo, because at that time, the player who scored could not have his foot in the crease...Brett Hull clearly did, and they let the goal count. And I know some Dallas fan will come in saying, "tHeY cHanGeD ThE rUlE mId-SeaSon." Knock it off...no one knew that at the time. The goal should have never counted, and the game should have continued. Call me a salty Sabres fan all you want, I dont care. No Goal. Anyway, love your Vids Adam!
The Islanders goal from Bobby Nystrom at 9:15 started what is considered to be one of the greatest dynasties in sports history. 3 division titles, 3 conference titles, 4 straight Stanley Cups and 19 consecutive playoff series wins. I don’t think any other team in any league could beat 19 straight playoff series wins. Plus, 5 players from that team are inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. I am truly proud of my team!
7:11 During that 1995-96 season, in one game, a rat had found its way to the Panthers dressing room and they chased it everywhere until Scott Mellanby killed it with a whack of his stick. Since that game, the rats became a tradition in Florida and everytime the Panthers scored a goal on home ice, the ice was littered with plastic rats.
ruclips.net/video/nuCf0p1CM80/видео.html Surely the most memorable Ottawa goal. Maybe my favourite goal ever. Check out this pass and this finish. Pity the whole team went to hell shortly thereafter.
That's because unless you're from Ottawa or you're a parent/family member of a player on the team, no one gives a rats arse about the Sens (and yes, this opinion has been stated with a shitload of bias as a diehard Leafs fan and lifelong resident of the Greater Toronto Area despite how shitty they seem to play after the first 2 or 3 months of every season)
Some Cultural ones first: 11:54 Bill Barilko scores in OT to win the 5th Cup in a row for Toronto in 1951. This is the only series in NHL history in which every game went into overtime. Barilko would die in a plane crash that summer, starting the "Curse of Bill Barilko". Toronto would not win the Cup again until 1962, when Barilko's body was found. The Tragically Hip song "50 Mission Cap" tells the story. 4:04 Bobby Orr's Cup winning goal in 1971, one of the most famous goals in NHL history. 5:15 Patrick Kane ends the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup 40+ year drought in 2010. 6:06 Brett Hull's Cup winning goal from 1999, one of the most controversial goals in NHL history. 9:34 Matteau sends the Rangers to the Cup Final in 1994, where the Rangers would end their 54 year Cup drought. 12:30 A flashy goal for a flashy city as the Vegas Golden Knights begin their magical year. 10:22 Keith Primeau's goal ends the third longest game in NHL history (the longest game in the last 70 or so years). 2:38 Paul Kariya's GWG in Game 6 of the 2002 Stanley Cup sending the series to Game 7. 3:32 Ray Whitney's buzzer beater advances Phoenix Coyotes to the Second Round. 4:17 Brad May shows he can use his hands for something other than punching on his "May Day" goal, completing the sweep of the Bruins. 4:35 Theo Fleury helps eliminate the Oilers in the Battle of Alberta. 5:01 Scott Walker scores as the Canes upset the Bruins and go to the 2009 Eastern Conference Final. 5:32 Uwe Krupp scores the Cup winning goal in Triple OT in 1996. 5:47 Rick Nash corrects his mistake against the Coyotes with this spectacular goal. The shift prior he made a mistake that lead to a goal tying the game late in the 3rd Period. 6:29 Steve Yzerman strips Gretzky of the puck and eliminates the Blues in a hard fought seven-game series in 1996. 6:50 Of course and Oiler's goal is going to be scored by the Great One, he scored nearly 500 or so for them. 7:07 First goal score by the Panthers in Game 3 of the 1996 Stanley Cup Final. Google "Scott Melanby rat trick" if you want to know why they are throwing plastic rats on the ice. 7:33 Alec Martinez's Cup winning goal from 2014. 8:02 Brunette completes the 3-1 series comeback for Minnesota in 2004, also the last goal that Patrick Roy allowed in his career. 8:30 Guy LaFleur makes Boston pay for a costly Too-many men penalty. 8:50 Jason Arnott's Cup winning goal for New Jersey in the 2000 Stanley Cup Final. 9:18 Nystrom's Cup winning goal for the Islanders in 1980, the start of 4 straight Cups. 9:34 Matteau sends the Rangers to the Cup Final in 1994, where the Rangers would end their 54 year Cup drought. 9:52 Ottawa upsets Buffalo to advance to the Cup Final in 2007. 10:38 Mario Lemieux's statue goal in the 1991 Stanley Cup Final. 10:57 San Jose upsets Calgary in the first round in 1995. 11:29 St. Louis upsets Chicago with a first round sweep in 1993. 12:50 Oven Chicken scores on his back...
10:35 in the playoffs if it’s still tied after the 3rd period it goes to overtime. Overtime in the playoffs is continuous, so it’s 20 minute periods of overtime until someone scores
the goal was scored 12 minutes into the 5th OT meaning they were 8 minutes shy of playing 3 full games consecutively... players were getting IV's on the bench, they'd ordered pizza and the game took over 7.5 hours to finish... unreal!!!
Also the old time goal at the end is big bad Bill. A man immortalized in in the great great “50 mission cap” by the Tragically Hip. Both the man and the band are Canadian National Treasures. Enjoy the ‘Hip’ if you’re not familiar with them.
About that one clip for the Toronto Maple Leafs, that was the overtime winning goal by Bill Barilko to win them the Stanley Cup in 1951. It would turn out to be Barilko's last goal, as during that summer, he disappeared in a plane crash on his way back from a fishing trip. It would take until 1962 for the Leafs to win another Cup, which happened to be around the time the remains of the wreckage were discovered in the northern Ontario wilderness.
Most of these are playoff overtime goals, many of them won series allowing the team to advance to the next round. The Bobby Orr (Boston), Patrick Kane (Chicago), Uwe Krupp (Colorado), Brett Hull (Dallas), Alec Martinez (Los Angeles), Jason Arnott (New Jersey), John Tonelli (New York Islanders), Bill Barillko (Toronto) goals all won the Stanley Cup in overtime. In terms of the 5th overtime, in the playoffs teams play overtime until someone scores, there are no ties. For that particular goal, it was the longest game in about 40 years.
@@SuperAngryWalrus He's still coaching junior in my town, and there were a few rumours that he'd go back to Colorado or even Ottawa over the past few years... who knows what the future holds (:
Hey Adam, first off i just want to say thank you for the content i enjoy your videos. I appreciate you even more after watching alot of other RUclipsrs that react too hockey alot them seem to lack common sense on how hard hockey really is compared to other sports. Especially the ice surface and the speed of the game. Plus you have an awesome sense of humour don't change. Canadians love you
Detroit: Steve Yserman’s goal was in a game 7 overtime against The St-Louis Blues who had signed Wayne Gretzky for a one year contract to help them win a cup in 97 Philadelphia’s goal was in the 5th period of overtime because in the playoff there are unlimited number of overtime periods (each lasting 20min) Montreal’s Guy Lafleur’s slapshot was devastating for his era (mainly 1970’s) Buffalo’s Brad May « May Day » was memorable of course because The Sabres moved on in the playoffs but mainly because of the commentary ;) Cheers!!
Goalie helmets surprisingly do not restrict vision hardly at all. They are designed to have maximum visibility. You get used to the bars very quickly and don't even notice they are there.
I highly recommend the NHL Trade Tree video series from Sportsnet. Really interesting breakdowns of player movement that give good insight on the business side of hockey too
Adam, im sure someone already answered but, in the nhl, and some other leagues, during the playoffs if the game is tied at the end of regulation (3rd period) then the game will continue with overtime periods until someone scores to win. Usually its in the 1st or 2nd overtime period but ive seen them go 3+. I live in a city with a minor league team of the detroit red wings (nhl team) and a couple of years ago during their playoffs my hometown team lost games 1, 2 and 3 of the best of 7 playoff series. Came back to win games 4, 5 and 6 to force a game 7 at home. I went, it was packed/sold out and the game was 0-0 until the 3rd overtime when we lost. It was a heartbreaker.
Theo Fleury who scored the goal for Calgary against Edmonton at the 4:36 minute mark of the video did that in the 1991 Stanley Cup playoffs. He was also Metis and played one season with the Belfast Giants. He was small but awesome. Scott Stevens, who I liked along with Denis Poitvin also a D, was a tough nut who liked to hunt bears with a bow & arrow. Denis Poitvin used to like looking for fights, off the ice as well as on. Players were physically afraid of him. Big or small these guys played with an edge.
The context for the Minnesota goal (the "Christmas/nutcracker" team) is that they were down 3-0 in the series, came back to tie the series 3-3, then win the 7th game with that goal. They also did the same thing to Vancouver during that playoff run before losing to Anaheim in the Conference Finals.
The Bobby Orr goal is the most memorable goal in NHL history in my opinion, it's been immortalized everywhere... Bobby Orr was an excellent player, above everyone else -- the McDavid of his day, and everyone in the league knew it, so he was a target for that reason. His knees gave out, he didn't play many years in the league, and this was the goal that won the Bruins their first Stanley Cup since 1941. That goal was the winner. It's simply referred to by Bruins fans as "The Goal". The Chicago goal was also a stanley cup winner, and the guy who scored it was the only one who knew it was in the net, because he had the angle to see it trapped in the net hidden, which is why if you watch the whole clip, everyone is confused, while the goal scorer is celebrating. The skate in the crease was Brett Hull, the rule in that year was if any part of your skate was in the crease and you scored, the goal would be disallowed. This was a triple overtime goal, that won the stanley cup. The Islanders goal was the first stanley cup they won at the start of their dynasty in the early 80s. They won the cup a few times in a row. The concept of overtime in the playoffs are 20 minute periods, where the first goal wins. If no goal is scored in an overtime period, they'll play another, and another, and another until someone does score. That Philadelphia game was the longest (iirc) playoff game in NHL history. The Bob Barilko cup winning goal goal was in the 40s (edit: The actual goal was in the 50s, but my comment about 40s was meant to say he played for them in the 40s). Back then, helmets weren't required equipment -- sticks were flat, and it was far more difficult to elevate pucks up to the head area of another player. When helmets became required kit for players, it was grandfathered in so players who started when it wasn't required, were not required to wear one. This is why you see Guy Lafleur without a helmet and he continued to play after the rule came in. Likewise, in the 00s a rule was put in place where a visor was required, also grandfathered in, which is why you see some players today still playing who don't have shields. Grandfathered.
The Rats. It is a great story. Scott Mellanby saw a rat run across the lockroom, he stood up and a got a stick and fired the rat into wall killing it. This was before a game. During the game Mellanby scored 2 goals. His teammates said he scored a rat trick and the rest is history. The fans of Flordia throw rats (fake) on the ice to Celebrate huge goals for Flordia.
The Carolina Hurricanes Scott Walker goal: In the game before, a Boston Bruin's player, who had been picking fights and playing dirty, was punched in the face by Hurricanes Scott Walker. The Bruins freaked out and tried to get Walker suspended, (even though the Bruins then and now did stuff like that all the time). It didn't work, and Walker scored the game winning goal. The Hurricanes won the series, and went on to win the Cup that year.
The older masks (70's & before) impaired the goalies vision more - the modern ones are pretty optimized for protect and serve the eyesight. The key change was to go for the grid masks to maximize vision without endangering the face (too much). Some grid shapes allow the puck to squeeze into the eye socket - which is not good of course. But even in those cases there's just one possible angle it can come in. I actually don't know if any masks now used are 100% sure. Another thing people sometimes don't think is the neck also needs protection, so they developed pieces that dangle below the chin, now I think they just have the chin piece reaching very low, and a type of collar has also been used - lying on the ice it's not nice to get a skate slicing a wound.
Skate in the crease: that goal was the Stanley cup winning goal and at that time, 04, if u had a fraction of your toe in the crease the goal would be called off. But he had half his foot in the crease so that goal is the most debatable goal of all time And vancouver: that goal was paved bures hat trick in triple ot, and that goal led them to there first ever Stanley Cup final
These are mostly game ending and revenge goals. That’s why they’re interesting. You should have a group watch party for the Leafs/Bluejackets series and you can ask us questions in real time, get a dozen of us. 6 from Columbus and 6 from the GTA. And you’ll get a lesson in fun loving shite talking.
-Anaheim : Karyia gets destroyed, comes back and scores. He doesn't remember this game of the Stanley cup final. (2003) -Arizona : They won game one of the Western conference semi-final with this overtime goal. They were a big underdog team and they went on to the Western Conference final that year. They don't have a big playoff history. (2012) -Boston : Bobby orr ''Flying goal''. They won the Stanley cup with that overtime goal. (1970) -Buffalo : Coming into the playoffs, Buffalo had lost their last 7 games and their opponents, Boston, had won their last 8 games. Buffalo won that series 4-0 and the ''May day'' goal was the winning one in overtime in a comeback game where they were losing 5-2 at some point. (1993) -Calgary : Theo Fleury scores in overtime and forces a game 7 against their Alberta rivals, the Edmonton Oilers (1991) -Carolina : Scott Walker sends the Hurricanes in the Eastern conference final in overtime in game 7 against the Boston, the team that finished 1st in the conference. (2009) -Chicago : Patrick Kane scores the overtime winner in game 6 to give the Blackhawks their first Stanley cup since 1961. (2010) -Colorado : They won the cup with that Uwe Krupp overtime goal. The franchise had just been relocated from Quebec City to Denver the same year (1996) -Columbus : They simply don't have enough playoffs history so their most memorable goal is a really nice one from the regular season. (2008) -Dallas : They won their first and only Stanley cup with that controversial overtime goal (Hull's skate was in the goalie's crease, which wasn't allowed at the time) (1999) -Detroit : Yzerman sends the Red Wings to the Western conference final with that game 7 overtime rocket shot vs. the Saint Louis Blues and Wayne Gretzky (1996) -Edmonton : I don't know. Someone help me. -Florida : One player of the Panthers team had killed a rat with his stick before a game, then scored 2 goals with that stick. The fans started throwing rats at every home goals in the playoffs. That goal was in their only stanley cup final appearance, but they lost to Colorado. (1996) -Los Angeles : They won their second Stanley cup in three years with that overtime goal (2014) -Minnesota : The wild was still a young team from the 2000 expansion draft. Colorado was one of the best team the NHL that year. The wild beat them in overtime in game 7 with that Andrew Brunette goal. Colorado was a much, much better team. (2003) -Montréal : Montreal vs. Boston is the biggest rivalry in the NHL. I don't really know why this one in particular, but every playoff goal against each others is memorable. -New Jersey : They won the Stanley cup with that overtime goal (2000) -New York Islanders : They won their first Stanley cup of four in a row with that overtime goal (1980) -New York Rangers : Matteau scores his second overtime winner of the Eastern Conference final. This one was in game 7 and sent the Rangers to the Stanley cup final. They won their first Stanley cup since 1940 (1994) -Ottawa : Daniel Alfredsson scores the overtime winner that sends the Ottawa Senators to their first Stanley Cup final. They lost to the Anaheim Ducks (2007) -Philadelphia : It's pronounced ''Primo'' and yes it was the 5th overtime. In the playoffs, the game is not over until a team scores. That means it was in the 8th period of the game. (2000) -Pittsburgh : Simply an amazing goal by Super Mario in the Stanley cup final (1991) -San Jose : They finished 7th and Calgary finished 2nd that year. That goal in game 7 sent San Jose to the second round of the playoffs (1995) -Saint Louis : It's not their most memorable goal anymore. Go check Pat Maroon overtime goal vs Dallas if you want to see it. (2019) -Toronto : They won the Stanley cup in overtime with that Bill Barilko goal (1951) -Vegas : It is a really, really young franchise from the 2017 expansion draft. This goal is a really nice one from William Karlsson in the regular season. (2018) -Washington : Amazing goal and effort by Ovechkin. One of the most beautiful in NHL history. (2006) -Winnipeg : Not on the video
That Stanley Cup winning goal by Bobby Orr is the part of his career most people remember, but some of the other things he could do...my God. Killing penalties by himself. Skating fast enough to play forward and defenseman at the same time. Watch some highlights of him if you can, he may have been the greatest in the history of the game. He’s top 3 on every list of greatest players I’ve ever found.
The context you need for the Gretzky goal is that it was in overtime of what would be the final game in the playoff series between Edmonton and Calgary (who genuinely hate each other more than any rivalry in the league), and Oiler star Mark Messier was called for a penalty (you can see him standing up to watch Gretzky in the highlight) and shorthanded, Gretzky slams it right in that tiny space that exists between your fist and your shoulder because the muscle on your arm prevents your elbow from bending any further. Edmonton would go on to win the cup with what are still the NHL record fewest losses in a Stanley cup campaign (16 wins, including sweeping Calgary there 4-0, and only 2 losses.) Messier later said he had the best view in the house.
@Adam, 5th Overtime is short hand for 5th period of Overtime. In the NHL playoffs a game that ends in a tie in regulation, goes into continuous periods of sudden death overtime until someone scores for the win. 5th overtime means that game went into the 8th period counting the 3 periods of regulation time, in other words, it was a FREAKING LONG GAME! Probably started around 7pm and ended well after midnight.
I'm a goalie. Yes... the wrong cage CAN impact line of sight in a negative way. Youth and college/university goalies are only allowed to wear what is called "straight bar" cages (for safety reasons as the butt end of a stick can't fit through the cage). As the name implies, the bars on the cage are straight. Pro and "beer league" goalies are allowed to play with what is called a "cat's eye" cage. Having played with both, I can say that in the throngs of battle, a goalie will get used to a straight bar cage if they are not allowed to wear a cat's eye... but the cat's eye design most certainly offers up a better line of sight.
About the nets, I saw you replied to someone who said the nets never changed sizes. It's true but they've changed the design of the nets and the goalies crease size countless times. 1880's to now, it's much different. Plus the size of players and their equipment also helps make nets look smaller. Also the way they play, back in the 1800 to late 1990's they were playing "stand up" goalie, they rarely went down. Didn't go in butterfly often, the older clips theyre standing way out of the crease so that also makes the net look bigger since they aren't even near it
Personally, me playing as a goalie, the cage does not affect eye sight. It does really bother you at first when you’re just learning to play goalie, but after that you just get used to the layout of the cage and you don’t even notice it anymore. Much like anything else your eyes are used to seeing, it’ll adjust to the view. Some goalie helmet cages even have what’s called “Cats Eyes”, basically two ovular designs in the metal around the location of your eyes so that there isn’t any cage in your way when looking straight ahead. This however is a bit more dangerous because pucks and skates at the correct angle and speed can sneak into the holes and hit your eye. For this reason, you hear of a lot of these cages being on recall for safety issues. That’s why I personally never used cats eyes lmao.
In the playoffs, they play overtime until someone scores. When Primeux went bar down in the 5th overtime period they essentially at that time had played almost 3 FULL hockey games, 8 full 20 minute periods. Almost 8 hours on T.V. I was up until 2:35am watching that hockey game that started around 7pm the night before. There were literally fans sleeping in the arena it was so long, all of the players were exhausted but they tied the series for a berth in the eastern conference finals. To top it all off they were down 2-0 in the best of 7 series and this game was to tie the series 2-2 and take all the momentum. They ended up losing to Scott Stevens in the East Finals 4-3.
The Toronto Maple Leafs goal was scored by Bill Barilko in overtime to win the Stanley Cup. A few months later he disappeared on a fishing trip in Northern Ontario. The Leafs would not win another cup until 1962, 11 years later. The same year his remains were discovered. There's a song about it by The Tragically Hip, it's called Fifty Mission Cap.
The Detroit goal with Yzerman scoring was double overtime in game 7 and Yzerman basically playing on one leg as he was injured in the series. Every game he would be put in a hyperbaric chamber before games so he could play
In the many years of the league, the divisions and conferences have gone through many name changes. I'm just going to use Eastern and Western for simplicity. Anaheim - This was during the Stanley Cup Final. After the big hit on Paul Kariya, many didn't think he'd return to the game. He came back only 4 1/2 minutes later in the game. He scored a goal that same game. This would be his penultimate game with the Ducks leaving the team with a franchise high 300 goals, 369 assists, and 669 points. Arizona - Overtime game winner during the 2012 Western Conference Semi Final in Game 1. It marks the first time they won a game in the second round of the playoffs. Boston - From the 1970 Stanley Cup Final, nicknamed "The Flight". It marks the Bruin's first Stanley Cup in 29 years. The name is given because of Orr being in the air as the goal is scored (he was tripped at the same time) Buffalo - Brad May scores the game winning goal to sweep the Bruins in the first round of the 1993 playoffs marking the first time the Sabres won a series in 10 years. It was also a huge upset as the Bruins were the #1 seed in the East. Calgary - Overtime winner in game 6 of the 1991 playoffs. Fleury's first of the series. This was more known for Theoren Fleury sliding down the ice after the goal. Carolina - Overtime series winner by Scott Walker to send the Hurricanes to the 2009 Eastern Conference Final. A big upset with the Bruins being the #1 seed and the Hurricanes #6. Chicago - The Blackhawk's first Stanley Cup since 1961 (49 years). There was confusion at the time because the puck went through the net. Colorado - Overtime winner for the Avalanche's first Stanley Cup in their very first year in the league (They were moved from Quebec) Columbus - Pure skill from Rick Nash Dallas - A controversial overtime goal to give the Stars their first Stanley Cup. The NHL put out a clarification of the crease rule after this. Detroit - 1996 playoffs. Steve Yzerman steals the puck from Wayne Gretzky and scores to win the series in the Western Conference Semi Finals. Edmonton - Gretzky. Need I say more? Florida - The story is a rat was running around in the locker room. Scott Mellanby killed the rat and scored 2 goals that same night. When this story went public, fans threw rubber rats on the ice in celebration of a goal. Los Angeles - Alec Martinez scores the overtime winner to win the Stanley Cup for the Kings. 2012 season. Minnesota - Andrew Brunette scores the overtime winner to clinch the series in the 2003 Western Conference Quarterfinal. The goalie he scored on, Patrick Roy, would end up retiring after this game. Montreal - Game 7 of the 1979 Eastern Conference Final. Lafleur scores a late goal to tie the game, which eventually the Canadiens won in overtime. They won the Cup the same year. New Jersey - Jason Arnott scores the game winner in overtime for the Devil's second Stanley Cup. 2000 season. New York Islanders - 1980 Stanley Cup Final. Overtime winner. They were called the Dynasty because they won another 3 Stanley Cups in a row after this. New York Rangers - 1994 Eastern Conference Final. Overtime winner by Stephane Matteau in game 7. The Rangers won the Cup that year. Ottawa - 2007 Eastern Conference Final. Overtime winner by Daniel Alfredsson to send the Senators to their first Stanley Cup Final. Philadelphia - Game 4 of the 2000 Eastern Conference Semi Final. Keith Primeau finally scores the game winner in quintuple overtime, the 3rd longest playoff game ever. Remember in the playoffs, they keep playing until someone scores. Pittsburgh - 1991 Stanley Cup Final. Mario Lemieux takes it all by himself to score in game 2. San Jose - 1995 Western Conference Quarter Final. Ray Whitney scores the game winner in double overtime to eliminate the #2 seeded Flames. St. Louis - 1993 Western Conference Quarter Final. Craig Janney scores the overtime winner. The goaltender, Ed Belfour, disputed the call saying he was interfered with. He was outside of the crease, so the refs ruled the collision incidental contact, which by the rules means the goal is legal. The goal stood, and Belfour went on a rampage in the locker room breaking a hot tub, coffee maker, and a television. Tampa Bay (not shown) - Martin St. Louis scores the game winner in game 6 of the 2004 Stanley Cup Final to bring the series back to Tampa Bay. Lightning won the Cup. Toronto - 1951 Stanley Cup Final. Game winner in overtime by Bill Barilko to win the Stanley Cup. Sadly, this would be his last game as Barilko disappeared that same year in a plane crash that was not discovered until 1962. Vancouver (not shown) - 1994 Western Conference Quarterfinal. Pavel Bure scores in double overtime to advance. Vegas - Fancy work by William Karlsson. During a regular season game in the Golden Knight's first year in the league. Washington - Ovechkin scores laying down on the ice. Winnipeg (not shown) - Teemu Selanne breaks the record for most goals by a rookie with 76 goals. He scored this goal one handed (his 64th at the time).
The Toronto goal was scored by Bill Barilko. It was his last goal as he was killed that summer on a fishing trip. His story is immortalized in the song "Fifty Mission Cap" by The Tragically Hip. It's worth a listen.
Old time hockey players never wore helmets. The NHL has been around since 1916-17 if I’m not mistaken. These guys never had the innovation players do today. They never wore helmets. All equipment was heavy leather, including the gloves. No padding. No Kevlar. Heavy wooden sticks with no curve, flat blade. Skates were literally just a thin piece of metal tied onto a boot. Jerseys were pretty much just a wool sweater. You can google all of this to verify and look at what they wore, it’s very interesting. It’s crazy how much the game has grown throughout the last 100+ years
In case no one has chimed in, Bill Barilko scored the Stanley Cup winning goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1951. He died in a plane crash that happened weeks after this game. The wreckage of said plane crash wasn’t found until 1962. The Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t win the Stanley Cup again until 1962. They also won 4 of the next 5 Stanley Cup’s
The famous goal with the guy diving is Bobby Orr and he scored the game winner for the bruins to get the bruins first ever Stanley cup. That goal was so famous that they made a statue of him diving right outside the bruins arena
Scott Stevens is a really nice guy actually lol. There’s an interview with him talking about that hit and he said he was really glad to see him come back to the game
You wanted backstory to the goals? Here's each and every one. Anaheim Ducks- Legendary goal. Karyia gets KTFOed by a filthy hit, about 10 minutes of real time and a couple minutes of game rips this laser beam to send them to Game 7. Anaheim was a Cinderella team facing elimination and were backstopped through a Herculean effort by 1st year starter J.S. Giguere (who is one of only 5 players ever from the loosing team [all MVP's to date have been from one of the 2 Finalists] to be named the most valuable player). Arizona Coyotes- Not really many goals to choose from. This year was the best in team history, defeating the defending champions in the first round, and beating Nashville in the 2nd round to go to their first Conference Finals ever. This was overtime in Game 2 of the Nashville series. Boston Bruins- Possibly the most iconic goal in hockey history. First championship for Boston in 30 years, first year of expansion and an exploding audience. Aided by the fact the seat was vacated by a rival newspaper photographer bolting to get a beer, Ray Lussier sat down after running to the other side of the rink and less than a minute after he sat down, snapped the most famous picture in hockey history of Orr flying through the air after scoring the Cup winner and getting pitchforked by future teammate Noel Picard. Buffalo Sabres- Again, not many to choose from. This was the culmination of a massive upset when the lowly Sabres swept the juggernaut Bruins in the 1993 opening round, and it's probably beloved announcer Rick Jeannert's most famous call. Calgary Flames- Bitter Battle of Alberta series that happened in the playoffs that saved the Flames from elimination and sent it to Game 7 in the 1991 playoffs. Carolina Hurricanes- This was overtime of Game 7 that sent the Hurricanes to the Conference Finals in a pretty big upset. Chicago Blackhawks- Patrick Kane scored in overtime of Game 6 to win Chicago their first Stanley Cup in almost 50 years, and Chicago's first major championship in 25 years. Colorado Avalanche- This was overtime of Game 4 that won the state of Colorado their first ever sports championship, which occurred in the Avs first season of existence in 1996. Columbus Blue Jackets- Not many to choose from. Now it would probably be Seth Jones in Game 1 of last years playoffs. Columbus had never won a series before and went down 3-0 to one of the best teams hockey had ever seen minutes into the first period. They'd climb back to score the 4th goal with 5 minutes to go, and would never trail again in the series scoring the biggest upset in NHL history and sweeping the Tampa Bay Lighting. This goal won Goal of the Year and was nominated for one of the sports plays of the year. Rick Nash had taken a stupid penalty and allowed the Coyotes to go ahead. Moments after getting out of the box in the waning moments of the game, he received a pass and pulled this off to tie it. Dallas Stars. I'll say it now. Good goal. This ridiculous and short lived rule of not being able to have your skate in the crease was changed shortly before the playoffs began because players were having goals like empty netters disallowed. Buffalo still acts like it somewhow got screwed out of their city's only championship. Also one of the most legendary goals ever. Brett Hull had blown his knee out the game before, but told his coach he was there if he needed him. In the 3rd overtime, Coach Hitchcock called upon Hull to give him a shift, and Hull gave him possibly the greatest shift in hockey history. Got onto the ice, intercepted a pass, picked a Sabres pocket, out hustled a defender, won a board battle and then scored all in the span of 30 seconds. Detroit Red Wings- This was Game 7 of the 2nd round, and the city of Detroit was basically all but fed of with Yzerman saying that he wasn't a real captain who could lead the team and get over the final hump to win their first championship in decades. This was the the moment that cemented him as a Detroit legend and one of the most iconic sports captains ever. This sent them to the Conference Finals were they lost in a dogfight to the eventual champion Avs, but he would lead them to 2 straight Championships (the 2nd occurring after the infamous limo crash that ended a key players career) the following 2 years and another in 2002. Also another Boston scenario where the main cameraman went to the bathroom, leaving an assistant with a handheld camera to catch one of the best filmed goals in history straight down the barrel. Edmonton Oilers- Another Battle of Alberta game, when Wayne Gretzy's blasted one of the filthiest slapshots ever seen past Mike Vernon in Game 2's overtime. Then go on top sweet the Flames, and win their 2nd straight title, one of 6 in 8 seasons. Florida Panthers- Part of their Cinderella run to the 1996 Finals. They were just 3 seasons removed from entering the league and came out of nowhere to get to the Finals. On opening day, a rat ran through the home locker room and Scott Mellanby one timed it dead and then scored 2 goals causing goalie John
"5th overtime" is just what it sounds like, they played 3 20min periods and then 5 MORE 20min periods before the winning goal. Back when hockey was hockey a Basketball didn't control how hockey was played games would go on until there was a winner. I remember a series in the 80's where Calgary and Edmonton played 7 games and each game had 4-6 Overtimes every single game. They were so burnt out after the series finished the winning team lost the next series in 4 straight games.
The black and white Leafs goal was from 1951. its famous because Bill Barilko who scored that Stanley cup winning goal disappeared on a flight to go fishing in the summer after winning... despite search parties for ages the plane was not found... it was the last cup the Leafs won for 11 years... until they won it again in 1962 and it happened to be within about 2 months of them finally finding his plane and body 11 years later. So it was deemed the curse of Bill Barilko, last goal he ever scored.
For the Hurricanes goal, Scott Walker hit one of the Boston guys out of the series in the game before and he was the most hated man in Boston.... that was the game 7 winner that sent the Hurricanes to the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals
The Patrick Kane goal is because it was the game winner in OverTime in the Stanley Cup Final and made the Blackhawks win the Stanley cup first time in 49 years and nobody knew the puck was in accept for Patrick Kane and that’s why he was running around crazy and his teammates were confused because they didn’t know it was a goal

That’s right
11:52 Bill Barilko wins the Stanley Cup for the Toronto Maple Leafs in OT in 1951.
This is significant because that summer, Barilko would die in a plane crash whilst on a fishing trip in Northern Ontario.
The Leafs wouldn't win the Cup again until 1962, the year the plane wreckage was discovered.
It's immortalized in a song by The Tragically Hip called "50 Mission Cap". It contains the lyric:
Bill Barilko disappeared that summer
The last goal he ever scored won the Leafs the Cup
They wouldn't win another til 1962
The year he was discovered.
There real rats just frozen
🤡
That "old-timey" goal by Barilko was his last goal before he disappeared in a plane crash in 1951. It won the Stanley Cup for the Leafs...who didn't win another Cup until his body was discovered 11 years later.
The Tragically Hip song "50 Mission Cap" tells the story of the Barilko curse.

Every Canadian knows this song 🎵 👌
here's the song @adam couser ruclips.net/video/d-7dJG3q4iM/видео.html
The Legend of Bill Barilko and The Toronto Maple Leafs:
Bill Barilko scored the overtime winning goal for the TML in 1951 to win Lord Stanley's Trophy. That summer while on a fishing trip he disappeared in thr Canadian wilderness. The Leafs (in an era where there were only 6 teams in the league dominated by Montreal and Toronto) didn't win the Stanley Cup again until 1962, the same year Bill Barilko's body was discovered.
The story became legend within the Toronto Maple Leafs organization and fan base and would later become immortalized in Canadian culture when THE Canadian Rock group The Tragically Hip wrote a song which incorporated the story from the back of a hockey card in their song 50 Mission Cap.
One of my favorite hip songs. RIP Gord.
Honest I’m a 42 year old Canadian and I’d never heard this story. Aside from the Hip song. And played hockey all my life til my body told me to stop. This is incredible. Thank you for this history.

"5th overtime" In the regular season, there's a 5 minute OT period then shoot-outs. In the play-offs, overtime is played in regular 20 minutes periods with sudden death rule: first to score wins. The goal in the 5th overtime [period] means they played more than 2 games worth of play-offs hockey that night.
The Bobby Orr goal is very memorable. That goal won the bruins the Stanley cup, they later made a statute at the TD garden of the dive he did
The best thing is listening to an interview with Bobby Orr he doesn't understand the excitement about the "dive". He even says he didn't dive, he just lost his balance and couldn't bring his back foot down. If you watch the video of that goal you will see his back foot being held up by the stick of another player. No dive, just a fall. But I guess that doesn't make good history.
Orr forcefully lost his balance. Noel Picard of the st louis blues tripped him - his stick blade was intwined with Orr's skate
"Scott Stevens, why do you keep coming into my life".

That would be a great idea, if he does do he should do it like Joe Rogan does his fight companion and have the time of the period in the corner so we could match up the game with the live stream
In playoffs they play as long as someone makes a goal in overtime. 1ot is 20min long so if you are in 5th ot you have already played like 140min..crazy
Once a playoff hockey game here in Norway lasted for like 4 hours of play time
The longest overtime in history happened way back in 1936. It went into the 6th overtime period. By that point, you now played 9 X 20min periods. Essentially 3 games of hockey in a row.

Just like the squids in detroit and the catfish in pittsburgh. But those were real
Very little known story, but totally true.
Specificall it was Scott Mellanby, and he scored 2 Goals contributing to Florida winning the game that night. It's been a tradition ever since.
Yeah if remember right Scott Mellanby killed rat with stick on locker room before game and scored 2 goals on the game with same stick.
Mellanby killed a rat in the locker room before the game and then went out and scored 2 goals and the Goalie Vanbiesbrouck dubbed it the rat trick. This also took place in 96 which was the Chinese year of the rat.

The Guy Laflure goal by Montreal Canadiens where the goalie Falls backwards it was a power-play goal where the Boston Bruins got a penalty for Too Many Men on the ice allowing Guy to tie the game in the last seconds. Montreal went on to win the game in overtime beating Boston and going on to the Stanley Cup finals where they won the fourth cup in the row.
This was at a time where Boston was one of the best teams in the league and Montreal was the best team in the history of hockey. But were seconds away from being eliminated by Boston for the first time in decades... The history of the two teams is one of the greatest rivalries in all of sport. The hatred between these two teams is unrivaled
And Don Cherry basically got fired because of it shortly after and never sniffed a Cup again.

I will never get tired of hearing Rick Jeannerette call that Brad May goal (Buffalo Sabres). Definitely etched in history as one of the most iconic goals, just for that announcer's call.
Man he really glossed over the "OFF THE FLOOR, ON THE BOARD!" call right after talking about commentary making great goals even better. That's absolutely an all-time top 5 call in the NHL.

The game that went into a 5th overtime in the playoffs was insane. They played almost 3 hours of hockey, which is nearly 2 and a half games in a night. By the 2nd and 3rd overtimes, guys stop skating hard and every play in the zone is intense. Energy levels are completely drained and they're leaving the building past 1am.
I almost choked on my beer when you said “Scott Stevens! Why does he keep coming into my life?” Lmao . Remember he isn’t just a truck on skates, he’s a hall of famer for a reason
Yep...even the goalies didn’t wear head protection in the old days! You gotta check out the pics of Terry Sawchuk...one of the NHLs all-time legends.

"Raining rats"
Story goes a Florida Panthers player found a rat in the dressing room and killed it with his stick before a game. He went on to score a hat trick (3 goals) with that stick. Throwing rubber rats on the ice became a good luck tradition for that team. It became so popular that the league had to step in and stop it as it was delaying the game, when thousands of rubber rats would hit the ice every time the Panthers scored.
It was also the season where the Panthers made the finals
Why did u skip the Vancouver Canucks???

The Matteau goal for the Rangers was a miracle goal for the miracle year, the Rangers had not won a cup since 1940 and it was thought they were cursed. Every year if they were even lucky enough to make it to the playoffs, they were blown out. Finally in 1994 they had a shot, they were slowly getting to the top until they reached the semis. They were playing the New Jersey Devils and made it to game 7, Rangers captain, Mark Messier promised New Yorkers and Rangers fans across the country that... "We will win tonight" That quote was in big letters on the front page of every newspaper in New York. That night it was a tie game and was now in overtime, Stephan Matteau was a recently acquired Rangers trade and was traded for a well loved and very skilled player, so naturally Matteau had to earn his respect. That night in the locker room he was alone with Ed Olczyk before they took the ice for OT, Matteau told Eddie that he was gonna win this game and for good luck Eddie kissed the blade of his stick, then only moments later Matteau scored, bringing the Rangers to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1940 and they would go on to win the Stanley cup.

Boston Bruins: Bobby Orr wins the 1970 Stanley Cup against the Blues
Buffalo Sabres: The Sabres finally beat the Boston Bruins in a sweep with the Mayday goal.
Calgary Flames: This goal help them get past Edmonton in the 1989 Western Conference semifinals and they went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Carolina Hurricanes: Overtime Game 7 of the 2009 Eastern Conference Semifinals
Chicago Blackhawks: That goal won the Blackhawks their first Stanley Cup since 1961
Colorado Avalanche: Uwe Krupp's goal gave this team their first-ever Stanley Cup and Patrick Roy had a 64-save shutout in that game 4.
Columbus Blue Jackets: That goal basically put the team on the map
Dallas Stars (my team): That goal basically gave the Stars their first-ever Stanley Cup in Game 6 of the 1999 Stanley Cup Final. Minnesota fans, you can now cry.
Detroit Redwings: This goal happen in game 7 of the 1997 Western Conference semifinals against the Blues. This also was the moment that Steve Yzerman stripped himself of the choker label.
Edmonton Oilers: Nothing to see here. Just Wayne Gretzky walking on Calgary's courts in the mid-80s
Florida Panthers: It used to be a tradition for them just throw rats on the ice. This was when the Florida Panthers were actually relevant in the mid-90s.
LA Kings: Alec Martinez's goal gave the Kings their second Stanley Cup in 3 years.
Minnesota Wild: That overtime goal upset kick-started the Wild's run to the 2003 Western Conference Final.
Montreal: In 1979, Boston had too many men on the ice.
Nashville Predators: Kevin Fiala's Game 3 goal against the Chicago Blackhawks was all the momentum they need to sweep the top seed in the West in the 2017 Western Conference first-round. That was one of the few goals you actually missed.
New Jersey Devils: Jason Arnott's goal gave the Devils their second Stanley Cup.
NY Islanders: That goal came in overtime in Game 6 of the 1980 Stanley Cup Final and it was the first of four straight Stanley Cups.
NY Rangers: This goal propelled the Rangers to the 1994 Stanley Cup Final where they would beat the Vancouver Canucks in seven games to when they're first cup in 54 years. The 1940 chants will rest in peace.
Ottawa Senators: That goal defeated the Sabres in five games in the 2007 Eastern Conference Final.
Philadelphia Flyers: After 5 overtimes of non-stop action, Primeau's goal ended the game and was a turning point in that series.
Pittsburgh Penguins: Mario Lemieux made himself an NHL legend with that goal in Game 1 against the Minnesota North Stars and the Pens went on to win the Stanley Cup in six games
San Jose Sharks: This was another overtime game 7 goal and it propelled the Sharks to the 1995 Western Conference Semifinals.
St Louis Blues: This was a controversial goal that led to the blues sweeping the Chicago Blackhawks and Ed Belfour, the Blackhawks goaltender, was pissed.
Tampa Bay Lightning: Thanks to the PHANTOM GOAL, Martin St Louis was able to get the puck past, the Flames goaltender, Kiprusoff and horse head game 7 in the 2004 Stanley Cup, which they won and claimed their first-ever Stanley Cup. That was another goal you missed.
Toronto Maple Leafs: 1967, the last time this team ever won a Stanley Cup. And this was also the last year of the Original Six era, as 6 new expansion teams would be added the NHL, the year after the Maple Leafs won the Cup.
Vancouver Canucks: Pavel Bure's amazing stickhandling in overtime Game 7 against the Calgary Flames in the 1994 Western Conference first-round propelled the team to the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals.
Vegas Golden Knights: In the inaugural season of the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 season, new starting forward, William Karlsson, capped off an over 40-goal season with a spectacular goal against Sharks goaltender, Martin Jones. This goal not only gave him the win that night, but also clinched the Pacific Division title, one of the few expansion teams to ever clinch the division title in their inaugural season.
Washington Capitals: I think you already know about this one. Although, I think of Evgeny Kuznetsov goal against the Penguins in Game 6 of the 2018 Eastern Conference Semifinals or the Devante Smith-Pelly goal against Vegas in game 5 of the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals should have been there.
Winnipeg Jets: That what's Teemu Selanne, one of the most lethal goal scorers in NHL history. Also known as to Finnish Flash, he shattered the rookie goal scoring record that year with this goal made famous famous for his sniper gun celebration. And that was the fourth and last goal you missed.
That's why each goal from each team is so memorable.
I didn't even see the Vancouver one included. Darn. Good to see they are included in the video though
I’m on a Adam Couser binge. In terms of the helmets we still chuckle about how nuts these guys were. The game has a history though of being pretty violent. But also, pucks weren’t really raised off the ice too often until Stan Mikita/Bobby Hull started curving sticks for the Blackhawks. The goalies were crazier, games were routinely delayed for the goalie to get stitched up and to return as teams only had 1 goalie.
Matteau,Matteau,Matteau!! A lot of context behind that goal. It was 1994, the last Rangers Stanley Cup was 1940. A few years leading up to 94 they had really great teams that fell way to short in the playoffs. They were the best team in 92. That series with the Devils was insane. The Rangers found themselves down 3 games to 2 heading into Jersey for game 6. The day before Mark Messier in the papers Guaranteed victory. They ended up down 2-0 and the season and cup run was about to be over then in the 3rd period Messier scores a hat trick and the Rangers brought the series back to New York. One reason for it being the teams most memorable goal was the radio call by Howie Rose, one of the best calls ever. After the goal there was this huge amount of tension that was released by the team and fans. I could add more but, getting to long.
It was Mattheu's second 2 OT game winner of the series. Nothing like beating your arch rivals in 2 OT in Game 7 to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1979.
Agreed Commentators do help in us feeling the emotion. The Arnott goal for the NJ Devils was the game winning double overtime goal to win the Cup in 2000
Bobby Orr.. one of the most famous hockey photos in history, Bobby Orr sailing thru the air after that goal 😁 🏒 beauty !!!
Stevie Y's top corner slap shot is one of my all time favorite goals. My mans a legend.
Sabres fan here. The "Mayday" goal was scored by Brad May, who was not a scorer...he was a fighter. An "enforcer" if you will. He beat one of the Boston Defenders that is considered to be one of the best Defenders of all time. Also, I have said on other videos of yours, if you love commentary, listen to the best of Rick Jeanneret, the Buffalo Sabres announcer. He is amazing. Also, bonus explanation, the Dallas Stars most famous goal is INFAMOUS in Buffalo, because at that time, the player who scored could not have his foot in the crease...Brett Hull clearly did, and they let the goal count. And I know some Dallas fan will come in saying, "tHeY cHanGeD ThE rUlE mId-SeaSon." Knock it off...no one knew that at the time. The goal should have never counted, and the game should have continued. Call me a salty Sabres fan all you want, I dont care. No Goal. Anyway, love your Vids Adam!
The Islanders goal from Bobby Nystrom at 9:15 started what is considered to be one of the greatest dynasties in sports history. 3 division titles, 3 conference titles, 4 straight Stanley Cups and 19 consecutive playoff series wins. I don’t think any other team in any league could beat 19 straight playoff series wins. Plus, 5 players from that team are inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. I am truly proud of my team!
As an Ottawa Senators fan, you hurt me sir, skipping past Alfredsons goal is a crime.
I don't recall seeing a goal even shown for Vancouver 😂.
7:11 During that 1995-96 season, in one game, a rat had found its way to the Panthers dressing room and they chased it everywhere until Scott Mellanby killed it with a whack of his stick. Since that game, the rats became a tradition in Florida and everytime the Panthers scored a goal on home ice, the ice was littered with plastic rats.
Agreed. Amazing commentary makes great sports moments even more unforgettable. 👏
Even this guy skips over my beloved Ottawa Senators just like everyone else.. including the first overall pick every year.
ruclips.net/video/nuCf0p1CM80/видео.html
Surely the most memorable Ottawa goal. Maybe my favourite goal ever. Check out this pass and this finish. Pity the whole team went to hell shortly thereafter.
@@stephenklump1360 I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m guessing that it’s Hoffman’s one hander after receiving that beauty of a floater from Karlsson?
That's because unless you're from Ottawa or you're a parent/family member of a player on the team, no one gives a rats arse about the Sens (and yes, this opinion has been stated with a shitload of bias as a diehard Leafs fan and lifelong resident of the Greater Toronto Area despite how shitty they seem to play after the first 2 or 3 months of every season)
Most of the goals are playoff goals, which is why they are so memorable. Also some great announcer moments.
Some Cultural ones first:
11:54 Bill Barilko scores in OT to win the 5th Cup in a row for Toronto in 1951. This is the only series in NHL history in which every game went into overtime. Barilko would die in a plane crash that summer, starting the "Curse of Bill Barilko". Toronto would not win the Cup again until 1962, when Barilko's body was found. The Tragically Hip song "50 Mission Cap" tells the story.
4:04 Bobby Orr's Cup winning goal in 1971, one of the most famous goals in NHL history.
5:15 Patrick Kane ends the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup 40+ year drought in 2010.
6:06 Brett Hull's Cup winning goal from 1999, one of the most controversial goals in NHL history.
9:34 Matteau sends the Rangers to the Cup Final in 1994, where the Rangers would end their 54 year Cup drought.
12:30 A flashy goal for a flashy city as the Vegas Golden Knights begin their magical year.
10:22 Keith Primeau's goal ends the third longest game in NHL history (the longest game in the last 70 or so years).
2:38 Paul Kariya's GWG in Game 6 of the 2002 Stanley Cup sending the series to Game 7.
3:32 Ray Whitney's buzzer beater advances Phoenix Coyotes to the Second Round.
4:17 Brad May shows he can use his hands for something other than punching on his "May Day" goal, completing the sweep of the Bruins.
4:35 Theo Fleury helps eliminate the Oilers in the Battle of Alberta.
5:01 Scott Walker scores as the Canes upset the Bruins and go to the 2009 Eastern Conference Final.
5:32 Uwe Krupp scores the Cup winning goal in Triple OT in 1996.
5:47 Rick Nash corrects his mistake against the Coyotes with this spectacular goal. The shift prior he made a mistake that lead to a goal tying the game late in the 3rd Period.
6:29 Steve Yzerman strips Gretzky of the puck and eliminates the Blues in a hard fought seven-game series in 1996.
6:50 Of course and Oiler's goal is going to be scored by the Great One, he scored nearly 500 or so for them.
7:07 First goal score by the Panthers in Game 3 of the 1996 Stanley Cup Final. Google "Scott Melanby rat trick" if you want to know why they are throwing plastic rats on the ice.
7:33 Alec Martinez's Cup winning goal from 2014.
8:02 Brunette completes the 3-1 series comeback for Minnesota in 2004, also the last goal that Patrick Roy allowed in his career.
8:30 Guy LaFleur makes Boston pay for a costly Too-many men penalty.
8:50 Jason Arnott's Cup winning goal for New Jersey in the 2000 Stanley Cup Final.
9:18 Nystrom's Cup winning goal for the Islanders in 1980, the start of 4 straight Cups.
9:34 Matteau sends the Rangers to the Cup Final in 1994, where the Rangers would end their 54 year Cup drought.
9:52 Ottawa upsets Buffalo to advance to the Cup Final in 2007.
10:38 Mario Lemieux's statue goal in the 1991 Stanley Cup Final.
10:57 San Jose upsets Calgary in the first round in 1995.
11:29 St. Louis upsets Chicago with a first round sweep in 1993.
12:50 Oven Chicken scores on his back...
10:35 in the playoffs if it’s still tied after the 3rd period it goes to overtime. Overtime in the playoffs is continuous, so it’s 20 minute periods of overtime until someone scores
meaning the flyers and penguins had played 2 and a half game when that goal was scored
the goal was scored 12 minutes into the 5th OT meaning they were 8 minutes shy of playing 3 full games consecutively... players were getting IV's on the bench, they'd ordered pizza and the game took over 7.5 hours to finish... unreal!!!
Imagine being the pizza delivery guy
Also the old time goal at the end is big bad Bill. A man immortalized in in the great great “50 mission cap” by the Tragically Hip. Both the man and the band are Canadian National Treasures. Enjoy the ‘Hip’ if you’re not familiar with them.
2:20 great goals are made even greater by great commentating.. those my friend are 100% FACTS
About that one clip for the Toronto Maple Leafs, that was the overtime winning goal by Bill Barilko to win them the Stanley Cup in 1951. It would turn out to be Barilko's last goal, as during that summer, he disappeared in a plane crash on his way back from a fishing trip. It would take until 1962 for the Leafs to win another Cup, which happened to be around the time the remains of the wreckage were discovered in the northern Ontario wilderness.
Most of these are playoff overtime goals, many of them won series allowing the team to advance to the next round. The Bobby Orr (Boston), Patrick Kane (Chicago), Uwe Krupp (Colorado), Brett Hull (Dallas), Alec Martinez (Los Angeles), Jason Arnott (New Jersey), John Tonelli (New York Islanders), Bill Barillko (Toronto) goals all won the Stanley Cup in overtime.
In terms of the 5th overtime, in the playoffs teams play overtime until someone scores, there are no ties. For that particular goal, it was the longest game in about 40 years.
7:51 fun fact that was the last goal ever scored on Patrick Roy in his NHL career
I was wondering that as I watched. Definitely something Andrew Brunette brings up at the dinner table. I mean I certainly would.
Fitting that Roy's coaching career ended the same way his playing career did. A game 7 OT loss to the Wild.
@@SuperAngryWalrus He's still coaching junior in my town, and there were a few rumours that he'd go back to Colorado or even Ottawa over the past few years... who knows what the future holds (:
@@SuperAngryWalrus You're aware his last NHL game was a 5-3 loss to Anaheim right...
Awesome vid Adam that Martinez goal kills to see as I’m a rangers fan
Hey Adam, first off i just want to say thank you for the content i enjoy your videos. I appreciate you even more after watching alot of other RUclipsrs that react too hockey alot them seem to lack common sense on how hard hockey really is compared to other sports. Especially the ice surface and the speed of the game. Plus you have an awesome sense of humour don't change. Canadians love you
Detroit: Steve Yserman’s goal was in a game 7 overtime against The St-Louis Blues who had signed Wayne Gretzky for a one year contract to help them win a cup in 97
Philadelphia’s goal was in the 5th period of overtime because in the playoff there are unlimited number of overtime periods (each lasting 20min)
Montreal’s Guy Lafleur’s slapshot was devastating for his era (mainly 1970’s)
Buffalo’s Brad May « May Day » was memorable of course because The Sabres moved on in the playoffs but mainly because of the commentary ;)
Cheers!!
Goalie helmets surprisingly do not restrict vision hardly at all. They are designed to have maximum visibility. You get used to the bars very quickly and don't even notice they are there.
I highly recommend the NHL Trade Tree video series from Sportsnet. Really interesting breakdowns of player movement that give good insight on the business side of hockey too
Adam, im sure someone already answered but, in the nhl, and some other leagues, during the playoffs if the game is tied at the end of regulation (3rd period) then the game will continue with overtime periods until someone scores to win. Usually its in the 1st or 2nd overtime period but ive seen them go 3+. I live in a city with a minor league team of the detroit red wings (nhl team) and a couple of years ago during their playoffs my hometown team lost games 1, 2 and 3 of the best of 7 playoff series. Came back to win games 4, 5 and 6 to force a game 7 at home. I went, it was packed/sold out and the game was 0-0 until the 3rd overtime when we lost. It was a heartbreaker.
Theo Fleury who scored the goal for Calgary against Edmonton at the 4:36 minute mark of the video did that in the 1991 Stanley Cup playoffs. He was also Metis and played one season with the Belfast Giants. He was small but awesome. Scott Stevens, who I liked along with Denis Poitvin also a D, was a tough nut who liked to hunt bears with a bow & arrow. Denis Poitvin used to like looking for fights, off the ice as well as on. Players were physically afraid of him. Big or small these guys played with an edge.
The context for the Minnesota goal (the "Christmas/nutcracker" team) is that they were down 3-0 in the series, came back to tie the series 3-3, then win the 7th game with that goal. They also did the same thing to Vancouver during that playoff run before losing to Anaheim in the Conference Finals.
In fact they came back both times(against Colorado and Vancouver) from a 3-1 series deficit.
The Bobby Orr goal is the most memorable goal in NHL history in my opinion, it's been immortalized everywhere... Bobby Orr was an excellent player, above everyone else -- the McDavid of his day, and everyone in the league knew it, so he was a target for that reason. His knees gave out, he didn't play many years in the league, and this was the goal that won the Bruins their first Stanley Cup since 1941. That goal was the winner. It's simply referred to by Bruins fans as "The Goal".
The Chicago goal was also a stanley cup winner, and the guy who scored it was the only one who knew it was in the net, because he had the angle to see it trapped in the net hidden, which is why if you watch the whole clip, everyone is confused, while the goal scorer is celebrating.
The skate in the crease was Brett Hull, the rule in that year was if any part of your skate was in the crease and you scored, the goal would be disallowed. This was a triple overtime goal, that won the stanley cup.
The Islanders goal was the first stanley cup they won at the start of their dynasty in the early 80s. They won the cup a few times in a row.
The concept of overtime in the playoffs are 20 minute periods, where the first goal wins. If no goal is scored in an overtime period, they'll play another, and another, and another until someone does score. That Philadelphia game was the longest (iirc) playoff game in NHL history.
The Bob Barilko cup winning goal goal was in the 40s (edit: The actual goal was in the 50s, but my comment about 40s was meant to say he played for them in the 40s). Back then, helmets weren't required equipment -- sticks were flat, and it was far more difficult to elevate pucks up to the head area of another player. When helmets became required kit for players, it was grandfathered in so players who started when it wasn't required, were not required to wear one. This is why you see Guy Lafleur without a helmet and he continued to play after the rule came in. Likewise, in the 00s a rule was put in place where a visor was required, also grandfathered in, which is why you see some players today still playing who don't have shields. Grandfathered.
@simon cohen nope, he started playing for Toronto in 47, won 4 cups with them and barilko disappeared in 51
The Rats. It is a great story. Scott Mellanby saw a rat run across the lockroom, he stood up and a got a stick and fired the rat into wall killing it. This was before a game. During the game Mellanby scored 2 goals. His teammates said he scored a rat trick and the rest is history. The fans of Flordia throw rats (fake) on the ice to Celebrate huge goals for Flordia.
Nothing memorable ever happened to the coyotes but they had to be included anyways..
The Carolina Hurricanes Scott Walker goal: In the game before, a Boston Bruin's player, who had been picking fights and playing dirty, was punched in the face by Hurricanes Scott Walker. The Bruins freaked out and tried to get Walker suspended, (even though the Bruins then and now did stuff like that all the time). It didn't work, and Walker scored the game winning goal. The Hurricanes won the series, and went on to win the Cup that year.
The older masks (70's & before) impaired the goalies vision more - the modern ones are pretty optimized for protect and serve the eyesight. The key change was to go for the grid masks to maximize vision without endangering the face (too much). Some grid shapes allow the puck to squeeze into the eye socket - which is not good of course. But even in those cases there's just one possible angle it can come in. I actually don't know if any masks now used are 100% sure. Another thing people sometimes don't think is the neck also needs protection, so they developed pieces that dangle below the chin, now I think they just have the chin piece reaching very low, and a type of collar has also been used - lying on the ice it's not nice to get a skate slicing a wound.
Skate in the crease: that goal was the Stanley cup winning goal and at that time, 04, if u had a fraction of your toe in the crease the goal would be called off. But he had half his foot in the crease so that goal is the most debatable goal of all time
And vancouver: that goal was paved bures hat trick in triple ot, and that goal led them to there first ever Stanley Cup final
These are mostly game ending and revenge goals. That’s why they’re interesting. You should have a group watch party for the Leafs/Bluejackets series and you can ask us questions in real time, get a dozen of us. 6 from Columbus and 6 from the GTA. And you’ll get a lesson in fun loving shite talking.
What he should do is watch a Bruins/Leafs game and just listen to the bickering
-Anaheim : Karyia gets destroyed, comes back and scores. He doesn't remember this game of the Stanley cup final. (2003)
-Arizona : They won game one of the Western conference semi-final with this overtime goal. They were a big underdog team and they went on to the Western Conference final that year. They don't have a big playoff history. (2012)
-Boston : Bobby orr ''Flying goal''. They won the Stanley cup with that overtime goal. (1970)
-Buffalo : Coming into the playoffs, Buffalo had lost their last 7 games and their opponents, Boston, had won their last 8 games. Buffalo won that series 4-0 and the ''May day'' goal was the winning one in overtime in a comeback game where they were losing 5-2 at some point. (1993)
-Calgary : Theo Fleury scores in overtime and forces a game 7 against their Alberta rivals, the Edmonton Oilers (1991)
-Carolina : Scott Walker sends the Hurricanes in the Eastern conference final in overtime in game 7 against the Boston, the team that finished 1st in the conference. (2009)
-Chicago : Patrick Kane scores the overtime winner in game 6 to give the Blackhawks their first Stanley cup since 1961. (2010)
-Colorado : They won the cup with that Uwe Krupp overtime goal. The franchise had just been relocated from Quebec City to Denver the same year (1996)
-Columbus : They simply don't have enough playoffs history so their most memorable goal is a really nice one from the regular season. (2008)
-Dallas : They won their first and only Stanley cup with that controversial overtime goal (Hull's skate was in the goalie's crease, which wasn't allowed at the time) (1999)
-Detroit : Yzerman sends the Red Wings to the Western conference final with that game 7 overtime rocket shot vs. the Saint Louis Blues and Wayne Gretzky (1996)
-Edmonton : I don't know. Someone help me.
-Florida : One player of the Panthers team had killed a rat with his stick before a game, then scored 2 goals with that stick. The fans started throwing rats at every home goals in the playoffs. That goal was in their only stanley cup final appearance, but they lost to Colorado. (1996)
-Los Angeles : They won their second Stanley cup in three years with that overtime goal (2014)
-Minnesota : The wild was still a young team from the 2000 expansion draft. Colorado was one of the best team the NHL that year. The wild beat them in overtime in game 7 with that Andrew Brunette goal. Colorado was a much, much better team. (2003)
-Montréal : Montreal vs. Boston is the biggest rivalry in the NHL. I don't really know why this one in particular, but every playoff goal against each others is memorable.
-New Jersey : They won the Stanley cup with that overtime goal (2000)
-New York Islanders : They won their first Stanley cup of four in a row with that overtime goal (1980)
-New York Rangers : Matteau scores his second overtime winner of the Eastern Conference final. This one was in game 7 and sent the Rangers to the Stanley cup final. They won their first Stanley cup since 1940 (1994)
-Ottawa : Daniel Alfredsson scores the overtime winner that sends the Ottawa Senators to their first Stanley Cup final. They lost to the Anaheim Ducks (2007)
-Philadelphia : It's pronounced ''Primo'' and yes it was the 5th overtime. In the playoffs, the game is not over until a team scores. That means it was in the 8th period of the game. (2000)
-Pittsburgh : Simply an amazing goal by Super Mario in the Stanley cup final (1991)
-San Jose : They finished 7th and Calgary finished 2nd that year. That goal in game 7 sent San Jose to the second round of the playoffs (1995)
-Saint Louis : It's not their most memorable goal anymore. Go check Pat Maroon overtime goal vs Dallas if you want to see it. (2019)
-Toronto : They won the Stanley cup in overtime with that Bill Barilko goal (1951)
-Vegas : It is a really, really young franchise from the 2017 expansion draft. This goal is a really nice one from William Karlsson in the regular season. (2018)
-Washington : Amazing goal and effort by Ovechkin. One of the most beautiful in NHL history. (2006)
-Winnipeg : Not on the video
That Stanley Cup winning goal by Bobby Orr is the part of his career most people remember, but some of the other things he could do...my God. Killing penalties by himself. Skating fast enough to play forward and defenseman at the same time. Watch some highlights of him if you can, he may have been the greatest in the history of the game. He’s top 3 on every list of greatest players I’ve ever found.
I continue to love your love of hockey.
The context you need for the Gretzky goal is that it was in overtime of what would be the final game in the playoff series between Edmonton and Calgary (who genuinely hate each other more than any rivalry in the league), and Oiler star Mark Messier was called for a penalty (you can see him standing up to watch Gretzky in the highlight) and shorthanded, Gretzky slams it right in that tiny space that exists between your fist and your shoulder because the muscle on your arm prevents your elbow from bending any further. Edmonton would go on to win the cup with what are still the NHL record fewest losses in a Stanley cup campaign (16 wins, including sweeping Calgary there 4-0, and only 2 losses.)
Messier later said he had the best view in the house.
@Adam, 5th Overtime is short hand for 5th period of Overtime. In the NHL playoffs a game that ends in a tie in regulation, goes into continuous periods of sudden death overtime until someone scores for the win. 5th overtime means that game went into the 8th period counting the 3 periods of regulation time, in other words, it was a FREAKING LONG GAME! Probably started around 7pm and ended well after midnight.
5:07 as a Flyers fan, this was a tough one, but that goal gave the Hawks a Stanley Cup win in overtime.
In playoffs there isn’t shootout it’s just 20 minute overtime over and over til someone scores
I'm a goalie. Yes... the wrong cage CAN impact line of sight in a negative way. Youth and college/university goalies are only allowed to wear what is called "straight bar" cages (for safety reasons as the butt end of a stick can't fit through the cage). As the name implies, the bars on the cage are straight. Pro and "beer league" goalies are allowed to play with what is called a "cat's eye" cage. Having played with both, I can say that in the throngs of battle, a goalie will get used to a straight bar cage if they are not allowed to wear a cat's eye... but the cat's eye design most certainly offers up a better line of sight.
Finally on saturday its on :D
About the nets, I saw you replied to someone who said the nets never changed sizes. It's true but they've changed the design of the nets and the goalies crease size countless times. 1880's to now, it's much different. Plus the size of players and their equipment also helps make nets look smaller.
Also the way they play, back in the 1800 to late 1990's they were playing "stand up" goalie, they rarely went down. Didn't go in butterfly often, the older clips theyre standing way out of the crease so that also makes the net look bigger since they aren't even near it
Love your videos
Personally, me playing as a goalie, the cage does not affect eye sight. It does really bother you at first when you’re just learning to play goalie, but after that you just get used to the layout of the cage and you don’t even notice it anymore. Much like anything else your eyes are used to seeing, it’ll adjust to the view. Some goalie helmet cages even have what’s called “Cats Eyes”, basically two ovular designs in the metal around the location of your eyes so that there isn’t any cage in your way when looking straight ahead. This however is a bit more dangerous because pucks and skates at the correct angle and speed can sneak into the holes and hit your eye. For this reason, you hear of a lot of these cages being on recall for safety issues. That’s why I personally never used cats eyes lmao.
In the playoffs, they play overtime until someone scores. When Primeux went bar down in the 5th overtime period they essentially at that time had played almost 3 FULL hockey games, 8 full 20 minute periods. Almost 8 hours on T.V. I was up until 2:35am watching that hockey game that started around 7pm the night before. There were literally fans sleeping in the arena it was so long, all of the players were exhausted but they tied the series for a berth in the eastern conference finals. To top it all off they were down 2-0 in the best of 7 series and this game was to tie the series 2-2 and take all the momentum. They ended up losing to Scott Stevens in the East Finals 4-3.
this got me pumped, you should do nhl best cellebrations
The Toronto Maple Leafs goal was scored by Bill Barilko in overtime to win the Stanley Cup. A few months later he disappeared on a fishing trip in Northern Ontario. The Leafs would not win another cup until 1962, 11 years later. The same year his remains were discovered. There's a song about it by The Tragically Hip, it's called Fifty Mission Cap.
The Detroit goal with Yzerman scoring was double overtime in game 7 and Yzerman basically playing on one leg as he was injured in the series. Every game he would be put in a hyperbaric chamber before games so he could play
In the many years of the league, the divisions and conferences have gone through many name changes. I'm just going to use Eastern and Western for simplicity.
Anaheim - This was during the Stanley Cup Final. After the big hit on Paul Kariya, many didn't think he'd return to the game. He came back only 4 1/2 minutes later in the game. He scored a goal that same game. This would be his penultimate game with the Ducks leaving the team with a franchise high 300 goals, 369 assists, and 669 points.
Arizona - Overtime game winner during the 2012 Western Conference Semi Final in Game 1. It marks the first time they won a game in the second round of the playoffs.
Boston - From the 1970 Stanley Cup Final, nicknamed "The Flight". It marks the Bruin's first Stanley Cup in 29 years. The name is given because of Orr being in the air as the goal is scored (he was tripped at the same time)
Buffalo - Brad May scores the game winning goal to sweep the Bruins in the first round of the 1993 playoffs marking the first time the Sabres won a series in 10 years. It was also a huge upset as the Bruins were the #1 seed in the East.
Calgary - Overtime winner in game 6 of the 1991 playoffs. Fleury's first of the series. This was more known for Theoren Fleury sliding down the ice after the goal.
Carolina - Overtime series winner by Scott Walker to send the Hurricanes to the 2009 Eastern Conference Final. A big upset with the Bruins being the #1 seed and the Hurricanes #6.
Chicago - The Blackhawk's first Stanley Cup since 1961 (49 years). There was confusion at the time because the puck went through the net.
Colorado - Overtime winner for the Avalanche's first Stanley Cup in their very first year in the league (They were moved from Quebec)
Columbus - Pure skill from Rick Nash
Dallas - A controversial overtime goal to give the Stars their first Stanley Cup. The NHL put out a clarification of the crease rule after this.
Detroit - 1996 playoffs. Steve Yzerman steals the puck from Wayne Gretzky and scores to win the series in the Western Conference Semi Finals.
Edmonton - Gretzky. Need I say more?
Florida - The story is a rat was running around in the locker room. Scott Mellanby killed the rat and scored 2 goals that same night. When this story went public, fans threw rubber rats on the ice in celebration of a goal.
Los Angeles - Alec Martinez scores the overtime winner to win the Stanley Cup for the Kings. 2012 season.
Minnesota - Andrew Brunette scores the overtime winner to clinch the series in the 2003 Western Conference Quarterfinal. The goalie he scored on, Patrick Roy, would end up retiring after this game.
Montreal - Game 7 of the 1979 Eastern Conference Final. Lafleur scores a late goal to tie the game, which eventually the Canadiens won in overtime. They won the Cup the same year.
New Jersey - Jason Arnott scores the game winner in overtime for the Devil's second Stanley Cup. 2000 season.
New York Islanders - 1980 Stanley Cup Final. Overtime winner. They were called the Dynasty because they won another 3 Stanley Cups in a row after this.
New York Rangers - 1994 Eastern Conference Final. Overtime winner by Stephane Matteau in game 7. The Rangers won the Cup that year.
Ottawa - 2007 Eastern Conference Final. Overtime winner by Daniel Alfredsson to send the Senators to their first Stanley Cup Final.
Philadelphia - Game 4 of the 2000 Eastern Conference Semi Final. Keith Primeau finally scores the game winner in quintuple overtime, the 3rd longest playoff game ever. Remember in the playoffs, they keep playing until someone scores.
Pittsburgh - 1991 Stanley Cup Final. Mario Lemieux takes it all by himself to score in game 2.
San Jose - 1995 Western Conference Quarter Final. Ray Whitney scores the game winner in double overtime to eliminate the #2 seeded Flames.
St. Louis - 1993 Western Conference Quarter Final. Craig Janney scores the overtime winner. The goaltender, Ed Belfour, disputed the call saying he was interfered with. He was outside of the crease, so the refs ruled the collision incidental contact, which by the rules means the goal is legal. The goal stood, and Belfour went on a rampage in the locker room breaking a hot tub, coffee maker, and a television.
Tampa Bay (not shown) - Martin St. Louis scores the game winner in game 6 of the 2004 Stanley Cup Final to bring the series back to Tampa Bay. Lightning won the Cup.
Toronto - 1951 Stanley Cup Final. Game winner in overtime by Bill Barilko to win the Stanley Cup. Sadly, this would be his last game as Barilko disappeared that same year in a plane crash that was not discovered until 1962.
Vancouver (not shown) - 1994 Western Conference Quarterfinal. Pavel Bure scores in double overtime to advance.
Vegas - Fancy work by William Karlsson. During a regular season game in the Golden Knight's first year in the league.
Washington - Ovechkin scores laying down on the ice.
Winnipeg (not shown) - Teemu Selanne breaks the record for most goals by a rookie with 76 goals. He scored this goal one handed (his 64th at the time).
The Toronto goal was scored by Bill Barilko. It was his last goal as he was killed that summer on a fishing trip. His story is immortalized in the song "Fifty Mission Cap" by The Tragically Hip. It's worth a listen.
SCOTT EVENS WHY TO YOU KEEP COMING IN TO MY LIFE?!?!?
Old time hockey players never wore helmets. The NHL has been around since 1916-17 if I’m not mistaken. These guys never had the innovation players do today. They never wore helmets. All equipment was heavy leather, including the gloves. No padding. No Kevlar. Heavy wooden sticks with no curve, flat blade. Skates were literally just a thin piece of metal tied onto a boot. Jerseys were pretty much just a wool sweater. You can google all of this to verify and look at what they wore, it’s very interesting. It’s crazy how much the game has grown throughout the last 100+ years
In case no one has chimed in, Bill Barilko scored the Stanley Cup winning goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1951. He died in a plane crash that happened weeks after this game. The wreckage of said plane crash wasn’t found until 1962. The Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t win the Stanley Cup again until 1962. They also won 4 of the next 5 Stanley Cup’s
Playoffs start on Saturday! Are you gonna watch?
The famous goal with the guy diving is Bobby Orr and he scored the game winner for the bruins to get the bruins first ever Stanley cup. That goal was so famous that they made a statue of him diving right outside the bruins arena
Day 147 of NHL OVERTIME SERIES WINNING GOALS from 2010 - 2019
Yeah if you want some goals with a little more context here ya go
This gave me goose bumps seconds in! 🤗💙🏒
idk what it is about the videos i just get hooked everytime i see one 😂
Scott Stevens is a really nice guy actually lol. There’s an interview with him talking about that hit and he said he was really glad to see him come back to the game
this is true, off the ice he is a nice guy, and Adam if you read this that's his game face
You wanted backstory to the goals? Here's each and every one.
Anaheim Ducks- Legendary goal. Karyia gets KTFOed by a filthy hit, about 10 minutes of real time and a couple minutes of game rips this laser beam to send them to Game 7. Anaheim was a Cinderella team facing elimination and were backstopped through a Herculean effort by 1st year starter J.S. Giguere (who is one of only 5 players ever from the loosing team [all MVP's to date have been from one of the 2 Finalists] to be named the most valuable player).
Arizona Coyotes- Not really many goals to choose from. This year was the best in team history, defeating the defending champions in the first round, and beating Nashville in the 2nd round to go to their first Conference Finals ever. This was overtime in Game 2 of the Nashville series.
Boston Bruins- Possibly the most iconic goal in hockey history. First championship for Boston in 30 years, first year of expansion and an exploding audience. Aided by the fact the seat was vacated by a rival newspaper photographer bolting to get a beer, Ray Lussier sat down after running to the other side of the rink and less than a minute after he sat down, snapped the most famous picture in hockey history of Orr flying through the air after scoring the Cup winner and getting pitchforked by future teammate Noel Picard.
Buffalo Sabres- Again, not many to choose from. This was the culmination of a massive upset when the lowly Sabres swept the juggernaut Bruins in the 1993 opening round, and it's probably beloved announcer Rick Jeannert's most famous call.
Calgary Flames- Bitter Battle of Alberta series that happened in the playoffs that saved the Flames from elimination and sent it to Game 7 in the 1991 playoffs.
Carolina Hurricanes- This was overtime of Game 7 that sent the Hurricanes to the Conference Finals in a pretty big upset.
Chicago Blackhawks- Patrick Kane scored in overtime of Game 6 to win Chicago their first Stanley Cup in almost 50 years, and Chicago's first major championship in 25 years.
Colorado Avalanche- This was overtime of Game 4 that won the state of Colorado their first ever sports championship, which occurred in the Avs first season of existence in 1996.
Columbus Blue Jackets- Not many to choose from. Now it would probably be Seth Jones in Game 1 of last years playoffs. Columbus had never won a series before and went down 3-0 to one of the best teams hockey had ever seen minutes into the first period. They'd climb back to score the 4th goal with 5 minutes to go, and would never trail again in the series scoring the biggest upset in NHL history and sweeping the Tampa Bay Lighting. This goal won Goal of the Year and was nominated for one of the sports plays of the year. Rick Nash had taken a stupid penalty and allowed the Coyotes to go ahead. Moments after getting out of the box in the waning moments of the game, he received a pass and pulled this off to tie it.
Dallas Stars. I'll say it now. Good goal. This ridiculous and short lived rule of not being able to have your skate in the crease was changed shortly before the playoffs began because players were having goals like empty netters disallowed. Buffalo still acts like it somewhow got screwed out of their city's only championship. Also one of the most legendary goals ever. Brett Hull had blown his knee out the game before, but told his coach he was there if he needed him. In the 3rd overtime, Coach Hitchcock called upon Hull to give him a shift, and Hull gave him possibly the greatest shift in hockey history. Got onto the ice, intercepted a pass, picked a Sabres pocket, out hustled a defender, won a board battle and then scored all in the span of 30 seconds.
Detroit Red Wings- This was Game 7 of the 2nd round, and the city of Detroit was basically all but fed of with Yzerman saying that he wasn't a real captain who could lead the team and get over the final hump to win their first championship in decades. This was the the moment that cemented him as a Detroit legend and one of the most iconic sports captains ever. This sent them to the Conference Finals were they lost in a dogfight to the eventual champion Avs, but he would lead them to 2 straight Championships (the 2nd occurring after the infamous limo crash that ended a key players career) the following 2 years and another in 2002. Also another Boston scenario where the main cameraman went to the bathroom, leaving an assistant with a handheld camera to catch one of the best filmed goals in history straight down the barrel.
Edmonton Oilers- Another Battle of Alberta game, when Wayne Gretzy's blasted one of the filthiest slapshots ever seen past Mike Vernon in Game 2's overtime. Then go on top sweet the Flames, and win their 2nd straight title, one of 6 in 8 seasons.
Florida Panthers- Part of their Cinderella run to the 1996 Finals. They were just 3 seasons removed from entering the league and came out of nowhere to get to the Finals. On opening day, a rat ran through the home locker room and Scott Mellanby one timed it dead and then scored 2 goals causing goalie John
The singing of New York New York was Epic btw!!
"5th overtime" is just what it sounds like, they played 3 20min periods and then 5 MORE 20min periods before the winning goal. Back when hockey was hockey a Basketball didn't control how hockey was played games would go on until there was a winner.
I remember a series in the 80's where Calgary and Edmonton played 7 games and each game had 4-6 Overtimes every single game. They were so burnt out after the series finished the winning team lost the next series in 4 straight games.
The black and white Leafs goal was from 1951. its famous because Bill Barilko who scored that Stanley cup winning goal disappeared on a flight to go fishing in the summer after winning... despite search parties for ages the plane was not found... it was the last cup the Leafs won for 11 years... until they won it again in 1962 and it happened to be within about 2 months of them finally finding his plane and body 11 years later. So it was deemed the curse of Bill Barilko, last goal he ever scored.
For the Hurricanes goal, Scott Walker hit one of the Boston guys out of the series in the game before and he was the most hated man in Boston.... that was the game 7 winner that sent the Hurricanes to the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals
The Patrick Kane goal is because it was the game winner in OverTime in the Stanley Cup Final and made the Blackhawks win the Stanley cup first time in 49 years and nobody knew the puck was in accept for Patrick Kane and that’s why he was running around crazy and his teammates were confused because they didn’t know it was a goal
Love the videos ! And as a caps fan i approve the ovenchicken nickname its hilarious 🤣
