The mutual respect and sportsmanship at the end of the game is remarkable. Canadian fans giving Dzurilla a standing ovation. What a sight to see. Wish I could go back in time to be in that arena.
Dzurilla played out of his head. And Vachon certainly held his own. I love the image of Beliveau confiding to Vachon who was named Canada's game MVP as he hands the goalie his carving. "No worries Rogie. You'll do fine" ;)
Seeing Perrault skating down the ice without a helmet looks so cool and free. It's hard to explain but it's amazing. That team had so many amazing players. The golden years of Hockey
Gilbert Perreault is still the greatest Sabre of all time. Beating out greats like Turgeon, Lafontaine and Mogilny. We'll see how good Eichel is in the years to come.
I was 14 years old in 1976. I could re-watch these old games and never see another modern hockey game again and be a happy man. The Czech goalie was a 35-year-old refrigerator repairman...go figure. Hockey Night on CZcams...fucking A.
I was a 10 year old hockey mad kid living in Calgary Alberta. I remember my Mom telling me it was getting late, and I was going to have to go to bed. I was pleading with her when Sittler scored. We both were jumping around and hugging each other. Great moment for me. I was too young to remember the Henderson goal, this was my first Canada hockey moment. It was great to watch the game again
Orr with Howe was the best at every part of the game. When his speed was gone he was still the best at skating (but slower), anticipating what was going to happen, passing, stickhandling, shooting, checking and defence.
At 1:11:00 the announcer has time to talk a little about Jiri Holik #20, a player on the Czech team who was playing but also his wife just had a baby boy the night before. That same baby boy would later grow up to become Bobby Holik, a very successful NHL player. Just thought I would share this beautiful tradition back in the days when the game was so special.
@@SuperGogetem Thats a pretty good point, and important one too. It turns out Bobby Holik's uncle (#20 Jiri Holik) is the one playing in this game. Bobby's father was Jaroslav, older brother to Jiri and did play international hockey as well. I shall go to the penalty box now and hang my head in shame.
You know the game was pretty fast back then too. However the shifts were longer...players took longer shifts and thus had to conserve energy for those quick burst moments when something opened up. This is very good, high quality hockey.
Orr the greatest ever. Put 5 Orr vs 5 Gretzkys, no comparison. Orr could hit, block shots without a helmet, had fights, throw a check, and skate backwards. Ever see Wayne do any of those.... LOL. BTW...Orr also won the scoring race as a Defenceman.....twice. enough said....
I never saw Gordie Howe play in his prime but I saw enough of Orr. I agree with you! He was the greatest all around hockey player I ever saw. I’m glad I got to see his end to end rushes before his knee injuries ended his career. Bobby Orr is also a pure gentleman.
Thank you so much for posting this historical event. I was attending college in Canada at the time - nearly everyone was riveted on their TV screens then. Ciao, L
Bobby Orr can hardly skate, sad to see him this way. Gilbert flying as always, got go see him play almost all of his home games in Buffalo, Amazing player
Sad, "yes." But, even in his obvious diminished state of health, Orr was still, arguably, the best hockey player on the ice. Playing through career ending knee injuries during the latter stages of his career just added to his legend status in the game.
Пресматриваю эту игру.У чехов была шикарная команда в 76 и в 77 годах.Но кое-что я забыл.Ждал Холечека увидеть в воротах.Канадцы всегда хороши.У них была Великая команда тогда.Спасибо за видео!
Sad that we didn't get to see Orr at all in 72, imagine.. in his prime if he were healthy and subsequently then a shadow of his prior self in 76 and YET.. still a top scorer and effective on ONE leg
The '72 series was pretty close although Team Canada got better as the series went on. However, if Orr and Hull had played, I believe the series wouldn't have been as close as it was. Those two would have been a difference maker.
God 1976 really was Sittler's year...probably of any other player in the league...This goal, His 10 point night, 5 goals against the Flyers in playoffs, and first Leaf to record 100 points.
one of the greatest moments in sports history, in hockey history,is when henri richard presented the trophy to czech goalie vladimir dursilla and the montreal fans gave him a thunderous ovation,the guy was just personable,modest,smiling,and when he waved to the fans in a babe ruthian way they went crazy with one of the loudest roars ive ever heard...-
mikke ... perhaps but it was a unified country then and it was common to refer to all of the players as Czech players ... as an abbreviation for Czechoslovakia rather than Czech or Slovak players
I have seen alot of hockey, watched all of the elite players. When I watch Orr, I see how he builds confidence his teamates...just by being on the ice surface. Team Canada should of lead by 4 or 5 goals at the end of the second period
I find this style of hockey way more enjoyable .It has more flow. It is the same with tennis and other sports that got just too quick and lost its beauty.And you can even see Alan Eagleson with Sittler's stick. He was one greedy money grabber this Eagelson guy.
It was most about equipment. Skates in that time were so soft. You were lucky skates last at least one season. In these days you can transform so much power from skates to strikes. But Agree game was so much enjoyable at that time.
What a great game. A few observations - great sportsmanship after the game, the crowd cheering for Dzurilla, the Czech team saluting the Forum crowd, Rocket looking so young, and the sheer joy on the faces of all players, in an era where the almighty dollar had not yet crept into the game & ruined it forever. Sigh, I miss that time.
I miss Alan Eagleson stealing players' money. The slime ball even grabs Sittler's goal scoring stick. He was probably going to sell it and pocket the money.
no wonder the montreal fans have such a tremendous love for vladimir dursilla, the guy was not only personable,and had some of the same manerisms of babe ruth, but he also looked like babe ruth...
Vladimir Dzurilla hahahaha.He was born in Bratislava capital of Slovakia and he was the best goal keeper in the world in 1965.He is buried in Slavicie udolie cemetary in Bratislava .
I watched this series when I was 8 years old. I certainly have a greater appreciation for the players involved looking back almost 40 years later. People who stood out to me: Gilbert Perreault, Bobby Hull, Rogie Vachon, Denis Potvin. For the Czechs/Slovaks: Vladimír Dzurilla, Jiri Bubla (future Vancouver Canuck) and Jaroslav Pouzar (future Oiler). Novy and Hlinka were big names back then, I believe. Just before Anton Stastny's time, so only two Stastny brothers playing together. That 3rd period and overtime were amazing! :)
Yes ... it's history ... these were special times for us in Czechoslovakia. After the Soviet aggression in 1968, the political climate in our country was not nice. But since we had great hockey players, they were our "fighters" against the "aggressors" of the Soviets. And in those years we were able to overcome them and become world champions. We were also more successful than them in this Canadian Cup. And our matches with the Canadian pros were great. I remember it personally. Even for the first series of Soviets with Canadian professionals. They were surprised by the level of hockey in Eastern Europe ... :-)
@@ralphvantienhoven Yes ... Dzurilla is (he was - unfortunately already died) an iconic Slovak goalkeeper. Like later Dominik Hašek for the Czechs. Although we had and still have several excellent goalkeepers in Czechoslovakia and later in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, these two have become legends.
What I remember is Orr was carring the puck out of his own end w/ all the other Canda players waiting at the other blue line waiting for Orr, a Czech player went to check Orr. He put a move on the that Chzech player, he is still looking for him.
For those left wondering at the end, the MVP went to Bobby Orr. And no, Milan Novy didnt get the car to (then still communist) Czechoslovakia...it was sold and the money split.

The end of an era. A entire team of Hall of Famers. Orr and Hull at advanced ages, yet could beat the best. Sittler's goal was picture perfect. The Forum gone. Doucette gone.
Good God. How many goals does it take to win a fucking game? Although, quite the privelage to watch one of Orr's last games. You can see he's hurting so bad he can barely skate. What and absolutely ... champion. Watched this game. I was 13. What a cliffhanger this game was. What a great childhood that I was privelaged enough to watch this kind of hockey. No names on the jerseys were no problem in the NHL ... You recognized players ... by their hair. Different days. Yes ... Gretzky was great ... but Bobby Orr, and entirely different speciman. You just had to be there. Every single thing he did was just complete and utter magic. Thanks, everyone. 😎
Very impressed with Orr- 2 bad knees and he's all over the ice. Reggie Leach offsides killing several scoring chances Grrrrrrrrr. Robinson on the ice for all 7 games and no points. Amazed at that one.
Leach was one of Canada’s best players; set up the game-tying goal with a great pass. Made another great play to nearly set up a winning goal. Sittler and McDonald had to carry Bob Gainey around the ice, and when Marcel Dionne was finally moved up to play with Sittler and Dionne they won the tournament. Gainey could master the trap, but he had VERY little skill.
Canada was, & will always be the greatest hockey nation! I was 10 years old watching this game with my 12 year old brother & my dad. My mom was in the living room with us knitting. lol Man, I cherish those days so much. Being a kid in the 70s was the absolute best!
@@automatedimagination " large-population western nation"...Canada is 39 in in largest population by country ..Poland has more people! There are 11 hockey playing nations with more people to draw talent from for example.. Dispute that lower population to grow talent they have won far more then their share...So lets forget your deductive BULLSHIT and deal with facts..Canada has been recognized as one of the leading sport hosting nations in the world for the 7th year in a row. In the just-released GSI Nations and Cities Index...and to host they have to be competitive...Global sports ranks Canada 10th in the world in sports domination and competitiveness of all countries and the top 9 ahead of her have much much larger populations...but PLEASE DON'T LET FACTS AND THE TRUTH GET IN YOUR WAY !!!!
+brandon rowsell: I would love to see that Canada v CSSR game 1. Yes, Canada lost, but it was a terrific nail-biter. When Roget Duceppe sang the CSSR anthem...that brought down the house.
The Czech coach was crying after the series about how better his team would have been on the bigger ice, world have made no difference they still would have lost to Canada.
Bobby Clarke getting a fur hat... priceless!!! Lol. Rogie gets a sh$tbox station wagon and goes ballistic .... you’ll never see that today. Every goalie today owns a Porsche Lol.
Amazing to think that a Czech team pushed to OT a Canadian team full of Hall of Famers, many of whom (not all mind) were in their primes. Perhaps if they were playing on the big ice they were accustomed to, the results may have been different. Too bad alot of these Czechs are forgotten in the annals of Hockey because they couldn't come across the pond at the time.
Team USA tied them 4-4 in the '76 Canada Cup, beat them in the '72 Olympics and beat them in the '80 Olympics. Please explain how anyone can consider Czechoslovakia "great". Between '72-80 the Czech's were 1-2-1 against the US.
Is there some kind of a deal whenever Orr gets the puck everything goes in slow motion, some are afraid to try to check him and he just goes around whoever he wants and passes right on the tape whenever he feels like it?
Ahhhh ...no deal buddy!!...Orr officially retired at the end of the 1978 season after having had over a dozen knee surgeries and was skating bone on bone given that barbaric surgery days ....This was a very slow Orr still crafty but basically two seasons well past from playing anything close to what he was....he would only play another 26 NHL games after this ...His last full season being 74-75 when he scored 46 goal and 86 assists for 135 points...sorry and sad you mist all the greatness...Rick
1:54:37 mark >>> Soviets (Nový) would've been awarded a penalty shot in today's incarnation of the game. LaPointe's stick CLEARLY hits Nový's glove(s) in his attempt to stick-check the Soviet player from behind. Still a great save by Vachon, though. Had no idea how good a goaltender Vachon was back-in-the-day. Probably b/c he was mired in LA, for much of his career, playing for the Kings.
The mutual respect and sportsmanship at the end of the game is remarkable. Canadian fans giving Dzurilla a standing ovation. What a sight to see. Wish I could go back in time to be in that arena.

Seeing Perrault skating down the ice without a helmet looks so cool and free. It's hard to explain but it's amazing. That team had so many amazing players. The golden years of Hockey
Gil Perrault was one of the most exciting players in the N.h.l. I would say next to Orr, he could lift you out of your seat every game.
And Hull. He was ilke a magnet for defensemen. Even at 36 he was among the fastest skaters and still probably had the fastest shot.
Gilbert Perreault is still the greatest Sabre of all time. Beating out greats like Turgeon, Lafontaine and Mogilny. We'll see how good Eichel is in the years to come.
Sitting here in 2021 - - - Sure miss those days !!

Even though Orr looked like he was playing in an old timer's game, he & Potvin tied for the tournament scoring title with 9 points each.
The best Canada team ever!
i know Orr won MVP in this series , but man ! ....... i bet a case could be made for Perrault !!
Even at half speed, Orr was brilliant.
I was twelve. My favourite goal of all time! What a star-studded team!

and speed.

You have got to love these Czech players.
And slovak for example Dzurilla and Peter Šťastný
The Canada Cup tournaments were the best international tournaments, far better than the Olympics, and much, much better than the Worlds.

Gól Kanady na 3:2 v presilovke po vylúčení Kajkla, bol po dosť dobrom hereckom výkone B. Orra, ktorý si prifilmoval pád.

In the just-released GSI Nations and Cities Index...and to host they have to be competitive...Global sports ranks Canada 10th in the world in sports domination and competitiveness of all countries and the top 9 ahead of her have much much larger populations...but PLEASE DON'T LET FACTS AND THE TRUTH GET IN YOUR WAY !!!!
Because you don't know the popularity of hockey in other countries and you can't compare it.
For example, these players were amateurs and that is why Kanda refused to play with amateurs for many years. They underestimated them.
somewhere, in a damp, dank, Czech basement, sits a long forgotten Bobby Orr 1976 Canada cup game worn sweater..
Potvin was by far the MVP of this series and it was'nt close. Orr was given a gift.
HULL HULL HULL HULL HULL HULL !
Lauhable penalty call on Czech at start of game. Leach was only guy who should have been calked, brutal high stick.
I remember it well
Orr was on one Knee at this point and was still one of the best players on the ice
SITTLER SITTLER SITTLER SITTLER SITTLER
is this video repeating itself at times ? BOBBY CLARKE scored twice on the same video - section ? wtf !
Dominik Hasek is the greatest Czech goalie of all time. He was amazing. Maybe the greatest goalie ever! Definitely Top 5 goalie in the world.
so classic wow
I take requests
+brandon rowsell: I would love to see that Canada v CSSR game 1. Yes, Canada lost, but it was a terrific nail-biter. When Roget Duceppe sang the CSSR anthem...that brought down the house.
Ronald Runeric ill upload that one soon for u
+brandon rowsell: Wow! Thanks; actually, I didn't even think I was likely to get a reply.
@@ronaldruneric4804, in the prelim round robin vs CZECHSLOVAKS?
In the Final, Canada beat the Czechoslovaks 6-0 in game one.
The Czech coach was crying after the series about how better his team would have been on the bigger ice, world have made no difference they still would have lost to Canada.
I never gave it any thought before, but, team Canada's pants should have been red.
Big game
2:35:50 If you want to beat Rogie Vachon, don't shoot on the glove side!
the was was orrs team he played super smart
Bobby Clarke getting a fur hat... priceless!!! Lol.
Rogie gets a sh$tbox station wagon and goes ballistic .... you’ll never see that today. Every goalie today owns a Porsche Lol.
Amazing to think that a Czech team pushed to OT a Canadian team full of Hall of Famers, many of whom (not all mind) were in their primes. Perhaps if they were playing on the big ice they were accustomed to, the results may have been different. Too bad alot of these Czechs are forgotten in the annals of Hockey because they couldn't come across the pond at the time.
Team USA tied them 4-4 in the '76 Canada Cup, beat them in the '72 Olympics and beat them in the '80 Olympics. Please explain how anyone can consider Czechoslovakia "great". Between '72-80 the Czech's were 1-2-1 against the US.
KMK7355 ... but they were world champions beating the Soviet Union in doing so.
@@KMK7355
Czechoslovakia tied Canada in the SS72 and beat Canada in the SS74
Don’t forget that Canada all-stars were thrown together for the tournament.
I WISHD ID HAD OLD CSSR OR CANADA JERSEY
total class in the 1970,s
Is there some kind of a deal whenever Orr gets the puck everything goes in slow motion, some are afraid to try to check him and he just goes around whoever he wants and passes right on the tape whenever he feels like it?
Ahhhh ...no deal buddy!!...Orr officially retired at the end of the 1978 season after having had over a dozen knee surgeries and was skating bone on bone given that barbaric surgery days ....This was a very slow Orr still crafty but basically two seasons well past from playing anything close to what he was....he would only play another 26 NHL games after this ...His last full season being 74-75 when he scored 46 goal and 86 assists for 135 points...sorry and sad you mist all the greatness...Rick
oooohhhhhyes
1:54:37 mark >>> Soviets (Nový) would've been awarded a penalty shot in today's incarnation of the game. LaPointe's stick CLEARLY hits Nový's glove(s) in his attempt to stick-check the Soviet player from behind. Still a great save by Vachon, though. Had no idea how good a goaltender Vachon was back-in-the-day. Probably b/c he was mired in LA, for much of his career, playing for the Kings.
Soviet player??? haha
Where do you see the soviet player ?? you donkey 😂😂😂
I scored the winning goal and all I got was an eskimo carving.
The USSR team was 80% experimental. What a pity. We could watch more interesting final.
I want World cup or Olympic games with NHL players..
I want Chechislovakia back- why they separate- perfect Love Birds!!!
@@Soundnectar Was not fair of the slovak and czech politics. They violated the constitution, there was no referendum.
The body loses lots of heat through an unhelmeted head. Cooler means less perspiration; less hot means a player's energy is preserved.

Orr played for the love of the game...and country. Many others played for the $ and whatever little notoriety they could get.
