- Denis Savard completes a hat trick performance in dramatic fashion late to cap off a wild third period between these two teams. Mike Gartner leads the way offensively for Washington with two goals.
I can't get enough of these bite sized looks at Hawk games from the 80s and 90s. The roar of the Chicago Stadium when hardly any fans wore a jersey. Denis Savard and his brilliance. My favorite Hawk era despite the lack of Cups.
I was there for many games we tried to get 1st-row second balcony where the Hawks shoot twice. It felt like you were over the ice, there were no bad seats in that building. In fact, many times we got standing room only and no one cared, the Hawks brought you out of your seat anyway. Savard was the most exciting player in the history of the NHL to watch. The day they moved from that building to the house Jordan built changed how the Hawks constructed their rosters. No more small ice like in Boston, both buildings were like a 7th player.
Skif just want to thank you for uploading all the Hawk home games from the late 80s. I watch every one in the hope of seeing me and my dad in the stands. Still haven't yet. Our seats were front row mezzanine behind the goal opposite the organ. They show that area after nearly every Hawks goal, but we're too far up for a good camera shot. I am pretty sure this game in particular is the game that I got hit in the head with the puck during warmups. Thankfully I was wearing a hat, and had a big head of hair at the time and wasn't hurt. The Capitals all stopped warming up to see if I was ok. It was definitely weird having nearly their entire team looking at me!
I met Dennis Savard at the Venture signing autographs in Melrose Park. I think I was only person there, he was nice and signed all my hockey cards and my hat. Good times.
If I’m not mistaken that’s bill clement on commentary
Savoir-Faire is everywhere.
I was at this game that night (2nd balcony first row on the blue line) and even though it was a regular season game the crowd was just electric that night; just really loud..... This was one of those games where Dennis Savard just refused to let the Hawks lose, i could always tell by his first couple shifts if he was gonna coast a bit or just be fully engaged, like this game. *what really topped it off is that i was able to go home and tape and watch the replay! (since we all know Wirtz would blackout the home games, i hardly would ever get to watch a home game on local tv...but since this was an ESPN game they showed it again and i still have it recorded on a VHS tape somewhere! ;)
Caps, not a common visitor to Chicago Stadium but this was probably the most memorable game I can remember them playing there. Love that Vincelette to Savard goal
8:28- The peppy and memorable theme song by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera (based on the jazz standard "Tiger Rag") has a chorus that repeats the phrase "Stop the pigeon" seven times in a row.
I used to see this come up in the TV Guide for ESPN, and knowing it would be blacked out living in Chicago. The worst. Got a glimpse of a hawks home game while visiting my aunt in San Antonio for an espn game in 1987. Just getting a GLIMPSE of the home whites on TV was such a huge deal.
A relative living outside of Illinois taped this particular game for me, but only after the first half of the first period had elapsed.
ESPN analyst Bill Clement was wrong about the Capitals. They had several scoring threats that season, including Mike Gartner, but Dave Christian, Michal Pivonka, Bengt Gustafsson, Mike Ridley, and others. They didn't have one dominant scorer that demanded constant attention.
Was Chicago the first building to have a train horn installed? I'm pretty sure it was but does anyone know for sure?
Yes, they were, it was installed in the Chicago Stadium in the middle of the 1982-83 season. Detroit installed their first horn, one that sounded like a car/automobile horn in the middle of the 1986-87 season, and Buffalo installed their horn, which sounded a little like a junior version of the Chicago horn for the beginning of the 1987-88 season. Those were the first three NHL teams to use goal horns.
@@skifusya2814 I think it was much cooler when only a couple teams had them....when everyone does it the magic is gone. I'm a Habs fan and for years and years we had a goal song which is hard to translate. It basically was like when a team like the Yankees win and someone might say "that's the Yankees!" It's kinda like that...but by the mid 90's they stopped using it and it's probably better that they did lol.
@@canuck_gamer3359 Les Canadiens sont là! And I totally agree with the premise of what you're saying. Most of the horns (or should I say recorded, piped-in sounds which are meant to resemble that of a horn) used today sound quite insipid.
@@skifusya2814 I tip my cap to you! A knowledgeable hockey fan-very knowledgeable.:)
@@skifusya2814 can you show me a link of what the stadium horn is please
