Watching those '80s goalies never gets old. Small guys in small pads standing all hunched over against Gretzky and Mario, flopping around like fish out of water. Hilarious!
No sport has changed as much as hockey has in the last 30-40 years. It's just absurd how bad goalies were back then. The absolute best goalie in the NHL in 1980 would let in 50 goals a game in 2021. Not even joking. 50.
That Jonathan Quick sequence against Pittsburgh was literal pandemonium. The amount of times he bailed that team out was crazy. I miss the 2011-2015 Kings and Quick
if his positioning and recovery were better, he wouldn't have had to make those saves look so hard lol Carey Price is a good comparison. his positioning was so good he rarely had to flop around like that. too bad the team in front of him was never that great.
@@MrSamsam911 yeah no joke lol. i watch old highlights and i can't help but think how a modern goalie would have a .950% or how like a modern 2nd line center would win 5 MVPs against these pylons lmao
@@baragon4N20 i sort of agree with you but keep in mind the stick and skate technology now is way better than it was back then. although our players and goalies may be better, we have more advantages. we learned more, our goalies’ pads are bigger, we have became more advanced.. our sticks are lighter and we don’t use wood.. the list goes on
What are u talking about? Then how come its just them that scored a lot, shouldn't everyone be scoring a lot too? The goaliesmight not have good equipments, but remember, Gretzky and Lemieux had the same quality equipments too
You've got to realize that no everyone one scored so much. No one came close to matching Gretzky's scoring. There were years that he could've won the scoring race without counting any of his goals scored.
I remember seeing Tanner Glass do the same thing when he was on the Rangers,but I can't remember who the shooter was. I just remember that after the second shot,he went to block the lane again,and the shooter seemed to say "are you serious? you know that I'm still gonna do it again" and he did. I was impressed.
@@AC-gw4qu Have you ever blocked a shot, especially if it hits you on your skates or laces. Even from a weak shot the sting u feel, let alone three perfectly teed up one time clappers from shea Webber lol
mad respect to erickson ek. putting your body on the line three times in one shift, down 3-0 in the game, and the shots came from weber. guy's out of his mind
7:35 You could have a whole video based on that game... Miracle On Manchester is so underrated Just the whole scenario. Not just being down 5-0. Not just the fact that they were 24-41-15 facing off against Gretzky’s 48-17-15 Oilers. But the fact that you put all that together and they won the series? That’s insane. You never see those comebacks in the playoffs and considering the circumstances it’s crazy. Such a great hockey story.
I am a Gretzky fan, but sometimes when I watch him score , does it seem like the defence are watching him and sort of letting him skate around and score? Why don't they knock him off his skates?
That's how it used to be back in the days. Same with the goalies,they were horrible. Not saying Gretzky wasnt amazing but thats the reason i never compare older players with the modern ones.
There are some amazing plays in here but McDavid's goal at 5:47 is far and away the most impressive. The sudden acceleration and the way he makes everyone else look like they aren't moving is amazing. Hamonic is a decent skater and McDavid just blew by him, it's unreal.
@@TIBS_x He's definitely in his prime now. Look at the age Gretzky, Ovi, Crosby etc were when they had their best season (at least offensively). These elite players don't need much time to learn the NHL game so they peak at around 22 when they are still at their fastest. Having said that I imagine McDavid will round out his game as he ages similar to what Crosby did
@@ETERNAL_EDITS. I think it takes more talent to go coast to coast, snake through the entire sabres team, and then raise a one handed backhander that high to beat the goalie. Crosby absolutely flew past the defense
There's 2 Sedin plays I think you should've added. One is quite unknown but it may be one of if not the greatest goal in NHL history imo. Great video non the less
Just watching that Gretzky goal is all the proof you should need that anyone in their 80's could score 50 goals in that era. Not even a goaltender in the net.
Lol. The rest of the league was 100 pts behind Gretzky. No one else has scored 200pts in a season. He averaged over 200pts a season for six straight seasons. No one else scored over 90 goals in a season, and no one's come close to scoring 50 in 39 games or getting a point if over 50 games straight. Gretz makes it look easy.
8:00 Oh God... I remembered that I score with that exact same move at school when I was like 13-14... Twice! Wow... That's why Ovechkin is one of my favs players...
Watching the Lemieux and Gretzky score those goals... good god, those goalies couldn't stop a beachball. Paul Bissonnette could be a 30 goal scorer back in those days.
Watching most of these, the realist in me understands I could never even come close to achieving these plays. But then I look at the classic games with stand up goalies and my brain is like, we could have stopped that, no problem.
That Lemieux 5-way goals will never ever happen again in a million years. Impossible odds. 5 goals its already hard, but to make it 5 different ways, never going to happen!!
@@thatoneguy9666 They dont get so much money for youtube, this is very small channel for sustaining yourself with youtube ads and view money, we're talking about 20-50k views total in 6 months so.

Dont get me wrong, im not saying this channels owner is doing something wrong, its just more about the money than interest of what he is doing.
There are so many players in this video where you could take virtually any game they've played in and find a superhuman, highlight reel kind of play - especially guys like Gretzky, Datsyuk, Ovechkin, Crosby, McDavid, Lemieux, and so on.
You mind as well dedicate half of these to Connor McDavid. Ovechkin is my favorite player of all time, but McDavid is also a freak of nature who doesn't skate on the ice, he flies on the ice.

@@psykkomancz was thinking this too.. seem like they didn’t give no f**** to actually defend 😂 just twirling around out there
I COULD have been a goalie in the 80's and i only play high level mens league lmao
Would love to see a video about how goaling has changed in the NHL over the past 100 years with an emphasis on the past 30 years or so.
No sport has changed as much as hockey has in the last 30-40 years. It's just absurd how bad goalies were back then. The absolute best goalie in the NHL in 1980 would let in 50 goals a game in 2021. Not even joking. 50.
Love how the compilation wasn’t just goal scoring
That Sedin tip pass and through the legs shot has to be one of the sexiest one two goals of all time. Man i miss those guys.
Man I'm surprised he didn't include Matthew Tkachuk'betwe nthe legs one timer against the preds or his Between the legs goal against the sharks.
Those two were ahead of their time. High skill players in an era that was much more about grinding out plays.
That Jonathan Quick sequence against Pittsburgh was literal pandemonium. The amount of times he bailed that team out was crazy. I miss the 2011-2015 Kings and Quick
Quick has still got it. Watch some of the highlights of their first round against the Oilers. There were some very impressive saves

He was out for a week after that game if I recall correctly.

Clearly you don't watch how people play against him, especially his earlier years all the abuse he took
The golden era of goaltenders for sure
Hasek

Giguere
All in their prime around the same years
Man, Erikkson Ek is so so underrated in his hustle. I wish people would talk more about how hard he works and putting his body on the line.
Minnesota is a place where good players go to be overlooked. He's a victim of the market. Even Kaprizov won't change that.
I love EK’s play tho. Really underrated player when you actually watch a wild game
Doing his best impression of Scott Sterling 😂
Ek's a stud here but Is it really "hustle" to get hit by the puck?
@@AC-gw4qu Have you ever blocked a shot, especially if it hits you on your skates or laces. Even from a weak shot the sting u feel, let alone three perfectly teed up one time clappers from shea Webber lol

Me too - and I'm a Caps fan. Truly awesome work.
missed the part where the montreal crowd gave an ovation to ek for taking those 3 shots

- Yes.
great balance of saves and goals - good work

Ovechkins……..>
McDavid will be unstoppable as he ages. The stuff he can do at his current age shouldn’t be possible but he makes it look easy. Scary talent there

That Caron save is probably the greatest save we'll ever see
3:34 how tf is he not dead lol
Everyone freaks out over Crosby's one handed goal but never Coleman's one handed goal :(
Crosby did it backhanded coast to coast. Not saying Coleman’s was bad, it was crazy but Crosby’s was better
I hate Crosby he’s good but dirty
@@mithulan6723 Coleman was getting hauled down to the ice, scored one hand on 1 foot

not trying to be a jerk or anything but the one handed shot really isn't hard at all
Congratulations on 100k
great video ..thanks
Good vid, keep up the good work!
"Great players make great plays" That pretty much sums it up
Those are some crazy plays
props for showing that last Ovi goal instead of the on-the-back one we’ve all seen 100000 times
That one was not human either tho
I feel like the one on his back is better though
Another great vid
How do you not have Ovechkins's most iconic goal in here? Or Thomas Hurtle's through the legs goal for his 4th of that game at just 19 years of age?
Fleury diving save and Alex ovechkin goal on his back
That ov goal was pretty lucky tho
eriksson ek never wanted to die until he got hit a 3rd time
Ofc this got recommended after oil vs NYR

This whole video could’ve been of Datsyuk
Does Datsyuk pull the puck backwards or does it just look like that because of the angle?
