Lifelong Montreal Canadiens fan...that was my 1st real Cup...was alive for all of the 70s but too young to truly appreciate...my 3 all-time favorite Habs played on it....Mats Naslund...Guy Carbonneau and the great Stephane Richer.
I was at game 6 in Hartford. Broke my heart. ZZ Top was scheduled to play in Hartford that night but got pushed to the next night. I was able to meet Billy Gibbons in the skybox that night at least. Miss the Whalers!!!
I was at Game 1 in Montreal and the Whalers won that one easily.
Everyone can point out Steve Smith's infamous own goal debacle in game 7, but Calgary lead that series 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 and ultimately won 4-3. They also won three games in Edmonton. They shutdown and outplayed the Oilers. That series was some of the best in NHL history.
I was at a bar in Montreal that night and on one of the TV's I happened to catch the Steve Smith own goal. As soon as I saw it I knew the Habs were winning the Cup.
I go back to this video a lot. The 1986 Canadiens changed the way scouting came about for later years
Just loved the Adam division era...big heavy defensively sound teams...typical score 3 -2 a few scraps...that s hockey as i know it...whoever was winning between Hartford and the Canadiens was going to the finals...my first hockey idol as a kid in Montreal...The little viking...Mini Mats Naslund....ahh glorious times and memories! Within a couple years it was all about Stephane Richer his 2 50 goals seasons with that pellet of a shot coming across the blue line...that was insane!
Hey, love this series Shannon, keep doin what you're doing buddy this is great love hearin you talk about these old teams an what you thought of them at the time it's pretty cool
Waiting for that one dude to talk about how the Canucks will be better then the oilers and leafs in 2 years
Tick tock
Dog's hockey highlights I know right
Yep. It happened
This aged poorly
Every time I watch your channel I feel like I have a crazy uncle who knows all these obscure hockey things
Great job with these vids! You know your stuff! 👍👍
I hated the Canadiens so much, but I wanted them to beat the Flames. Patrick Roy played out of his mind. I think I would have a statue of him in my home if it wasn't for his character
I was 1 year old than. I never heard this story before! Edit: Its great hearing stories of the Calgary western conference too....because out east we never watched west coast games, they were always way too late.
When the Habs won that Cup, Mario Tremblay was in the Radio-Canada broadcast booth. In fact, he was in the booth for that entire Cup run. His career was over. He did play 56 games during that season but didn't dress for any playoff games.
(And by the way, Shannon, the back-up goalie's name was DOUG Soetaert, not Steve Soetaert) Steve Penney (who you were likely thinking of) had been with the team that season also but only played 18 games, didn't dress during the playoffs and was in Winnipeg the next year.
Ludwig! Blocked the most shots in the league then. Biggest shin pads ever worn it seemed like. This is great. I was a 7 year old kid then.
shot-blocking was a big part of that team. i remember commentators always talking about how good carbo was at it too.
Roy's numbers would be impressive even in today's NHL. He just shut ppl down.
Congrats on 15k
Montreal defense that year: Robinson/Chelios/Green/Ludwig/Lalor/Svoboda/Gingras/Kurvers - stacked defense
Best goalie ever? *Patrick Roy* and *Dominik Hasek* for me
Please do "Top 10 player/team rivalries!" Sabres/leafs better be on there haha
Sabres and Leafs??? Sabres and Sens had one going for a little while in the Hashek era... It just seemed that Ottawa had a loaded team and couldn't beat the Sabres... I hated the Sabres....
Love the Bills thought.... Can't wait to watch T2 and Shady again this year.
Gabriel Matte yup haha I can't wait either. Yea, sabres had a huge rivalry back in the day, I remember the fight between Biron and their goalie and then Peters went to help Biron, then kaleta was taking on like 2 guys while the coaches were fighting. Definitely a fierce rivalry
CircleTheWagons Bos vs MTL numba 1 no doubt about it.
When are your new Intenational jerseys coming?
After that tough (and emotional) series w/Edmonton, the Flames had another gritty (7 game) series w/St. Louis just to get to the finals. I remember thinking at the time that Calgary just seemed to run out of steam by the time they got to the Canadiens.
Mats Naslund, le petit Viking !
patrick roy was the best at putting the team on his back and winning big-pressure games.
brodeur was more consistent and got more wins, but i know who i'd want in net for the playoffs if my team wasn't all it should be.
roy still has the record for most wins in the playoffs and that's fitting. he took a lot of teams deeper than they should have gone. he's also got more conn smythe trophies than wayne gretzky. no other player in history of the game has accumulated 3 conn smythe's.
The Tremblay thing is because he had the french Don Cherry role... His job was to pick out the good and the bad from the Canadien and the games and to my knowledge did pretty good. Enough to have somebody think it would be a good idea to put him behind the bench.....
He attacked Roy a week before he actually got the job and the fact that they where team mates before probably didn't help the ego battle. Tremblay being hired by the Canadien for the Head Coaching job cost them at minimum a cup because Roy and Tremblay didn't jell OBVIOUSLY Right...
The second HUGE mistake is having the GM and OWNER of the Canadien right behind the bench with no glass there. So yeah picture a frustrated star that pulled HIMSELF out of a game... Tremblay told him to go back out there after getting 7 goals scored on him. Roy just walked pass Tremblay and asked for a trade and then sat back down.... I am sure that if one Tremblay wouldn't have won a cup with Roy and second if the owners where in a booth that this could have been settled after a cool down.
gonna need to add another black dot, eh?
Make a Guy Carbonneau special!
Hasek not better than mr Roy?
Perhaps you could make the Hockey Guy defensive forward special award.. ? With some info about players like Carbonneau and Steve Konowalchuk.. etc all those guys that are outshined by the numbers of others.. but without them.. teams are less.
Cheers from the Netherlands.
I give you a lot of credit for still having respect for teams you dislike.
Shannon back in those days if you would have told people that the Blackhawks would have gotten a mini Dynasty people would have probably laughed at you and pretty hard too.
So Montreal not winning the cup might just be the fact that there's 31 teams and the talent pool isn't what it used to be. That and Montreal had the pick of the litter for a long time.
That cat tho lol
Roy in my mind is the greatest goalie in the world,period.
Tonghale ahem
Literally carried Montreal on his back.
I think true Montreal fans can make the distinction between Mario Tremblay the player and Mario Tremblay the coach. He hasn't been booed off RDS (french TSN) yet so I think people have made peace with the whole Roy incident. If Tremblay, and Houle for that matter, would have still been part of the team in '89, I think Montreal could have won it then as well.
Tremblay's biggest problem as a coach was that he couldn't get his players to care about winning and losing as much as he did when he was a player. We must remember that when Tremblay cracked the Habs lineup as an 18 or 19 year old, he was joining a dynastic roster. The fact that he somehow was able to play a regular shift with a team as chock-full of superstars as they had speaks to his dedication. He didn't have the skill set to get by on his looks. He needed to outwork people. And he played every game as though his hair was on fire. His biggest mistake was assuming that the players he was coaching cared as much as he did.
Chris chelios tough SOB my option best american player...long career to
Yeah....naslund. Number 11? Little guy right? Jofa with the visor?
Number 26. That is why Martin StLouis wore the number, glad to help out.
Mats Näslund won Olympic Gold in 1994. Anyone remember the Olympic Final of 94?
Filip Nässén nope
Did you say Gainey was a centre? He was a winger wasn't he?
@The Hockey Guy, I'd like to see what if the Edmonton Oilers won that series against the Calgary Flames and then won the next round and played the Montreal Canadiens...
We see Gretzky lose to the Canadiens but with the LA Kings.
And yes Patrick Roy is the GOAT! Martin Brodeur is like 4th or 5th in my book.
The Habs would have no chance, the oilers would've won 5 cups in a row along with 1990 putting their dynasty at 6 in 7 years
I remember 1986. The Flames did a great thing for Montreal fans.
@@jeffgriffiths5945 I think the Oilers win that series in 6 or 7.
@@NYFanatic 1986 oilers vs 1986 habs? oilers in 4...opinion of a habs fan. lol
You could be right. Patrick Roy would've had the challenge of his life. From that point afterwards, he still would be the all time greats.
John Kordic does not get enough respect.
I bet he does face-to-face 😂
Go habs go
Gainey had 4 picks a fumble recovery and a touchdown don't @ me
Rhys Carter what?
euginate13 ed gainey
2-3 years the Canucks will be...
Trash, Benning is still there
Hahaha🤫🤔😷How, come big Larry Robinson, bares uncanny resemblance.....To, Conan o'brien with a mustache.
It's Guy Char-bonno
It wasn't when he played.
Patrick wah? you mean roy
Hey HG, liking the revisit, but I noticed your revisits only start at 1980, missing the 75-80 yeatrs. I wonder why that is. :-) I think your anti Montrealness is showing ha ha ha
A Canadian in Europe I know this comments is from a while back, but he said he covers the years he watched hockey, he didn't befor 1981
Cup win aside in 2-3 years the Canucks will be better than the oilers and leafs
InnerMachinations you say this in every video dude
