Say what you want about those Montreal Canadians of the 70s... they could play any type of style you wanted to bring to the ice... they were truly an elite, magnificent team!
It seems like that's the secret of all these dynasties. Which makes sense. If you win multiple championships in a few years, you're going to face all sorts of teams. Orr said the same thing about his Bruins. I think the same is true for the Islanders and the Oilers.
Doesn't hurt when you had first claim to any Quebec born player before another team can pick from that pool. Look it up. Sure doesn't hurt building a solid team for years to come. Look at them now.
even though he's in the hall of fame, robinson is vastly underrated in history. big. strong. smart. long arms. could take care of himself. guy was awesome.
Flyers fan here. Thanks for the upload. I have never seen any replay of the 76 Stanley Cup before. The Canadien’s were hungry for the Cup you can see it clearly in this replay of Game 1.
Thanks for this. Being a Habs fan, this really pleased me. Glad to see the Broad street bullies not bullying my boys. I guess we had are own enforcers…Larry Robinson being #1. Man, I loved that guy.
Hadn’t seen any of this footage until just now. That shorthanded goal by Lemaire was beautiful, textbook hockey. To me, it looked like he waited until Goodenough looked up from the puck to pass it, and got the perfect poke check. Flyers were pressing from the power play, so Lemaire had open ice for the breakaway. Wrist shot, low, stick side, that he probably practiced a million times as a kid. Good stuff.
@@cleech74 I'm from LaSalle, a suburb of Montreal in Quebec where Jacques grew up. Our oldest of 2 indoor hockey rinks is named after him. Rumor has it that as a teen he made a puck out of steel for the extra weight and destroyed a mattress and the wall behind it practicing his slap shot for hours on end in a basement.
@@djshamrock729 That’s crazy, and might be the most hockey thing, ever. I’m from Baltimore. Before we had the Ravens NFL team, we had the Colts, who moved to Indianapolis, back in 1984. Led by Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas, they were a powerhouse of a football team in the late 1960’s> early 1970’s. One of Unitas’ favorite targets was wide receiver named Raymond Berry. He made the NFL in spite of a few issues. He was shorter than the average WR height, was blind in one eye, one leg was shorter than the other, and he had arthritis in his hands. That didn’t stop him from making it to the NFL, along with an interesting practice routine he did when he was kid. Apparently, he watched his favorite college team’s WR, and learned all the routes he ran in the bowl championship game his favorite team won one year. He spent hours & hours by himself, running those routes over & over, and it made him good enough to eventually make it to the NFL. Might not be as epic a story as the steel puck, but it’s shows the length some of the greatest athletes will go to achieve their goals of playing at the highest level of pro sports. I love a good story, so thanks for sharing that with me.🙂
@@danearley2767 I don't know, I don't think Robinson was of any of them .but , if they all were Afraid of the flyers except Bouchard, how come they won the last 2 games in Philadelphia.
@@danearley2767 ok ,that's different, I still don't think 🤔 during the season the habs were Afraid of them. But , as far a the playoffs were concerned the habs out hit the flyers all 4 games.
I like how when the siren sounded to end the game Flyers # 12 ( dont remember his name ) patted MOntreal # 6 Jim Roberts, who he was tied up with, on the shoulder. A ' good game' gesture. Hockey players are the best.
Gary Dornhoefer. Oddly enough, he wasn't in any mood to pat Robinson on the back after getting crushed earlier against the boards. It was an absolutely clean hit, but so devastating that the ref probably assumed there MUST have been something illegal about it. The video doesn't show the long break that immediately followed the play, as Forum personnel discovered that the boards -- which were NOT removable, as in most other arenas -- had been slightly dislodged, and struggled to straighten them out.
I remember this series being very frustrating to watch. MTL won every game of the first three by one goal (5-3 in Game 4) where Bernie Parent would have made all the difference in the world. Flyers gave away the first two goals - horrible play by Goodenough on Lemaire’s goal, and Stephenson had to stop Lafleur on the 2-0 goal. Alas, Wayne Stephenson was no Bernie Parent
Too bad the NBC NHL Game of the Week was cancelled the season before. Ted Lindsay was so underrated as a color announcer. Great to see him continue his broadcasting career.
Logan you are correct sir,they were awesome they had a big defenseman and skill skaters,I think they could have won 5 straight CUPS but a team from Edmonton had other ideas
Edmonton? I thought the North Stars ended the Montreal run of 4 straight with a game 7 win after Dryden retired. I think the Oilers 3 game sweep came in the next year or two. Please correct me if I am mistaken. Cheers.
The Flyers won their two Cups in 74 and 75 due to the creation of the WHA which depleted the Bruins, The Canadiens and the Black Hawks. And the WHA gave the Flyers the greatest Mulligan of them all. They got Bernie Parent back as Flyer owner Ed Snider traded Bernie to Toronto in 1971 because Bernie let in one bad goal the year prior. No WHA and The Flyer are still Cupless in thier almost sixty year history.
@@fn7894 you're absolutely right, I have heard all kinds of excuses. The habs beat them in 4 straight. Fair and square . All the wining is not going to change things.
A case of TastyKake, that is why Zero Mostel Gene Hart was so fat. He was probably getting free Kake for 20 years. The only announcer to give up to date penalty minutes like for Dave Schultz 398 minutes, for Rick Middleton 14 after Schultz attacked Middleton.
He was on the bench. Shero had wanted to go with Stephenson from the beginning, but the Flyers' brass insisted on Parent. Parent played the entire series against the Leafs, then the first game loss to the Bruins in the semifinals. The official word was that Parent "pulled himself", but many suspected that Shero made the switch. The Flyers won the next four straight with Stephenson. After the first two losses in Montreal, most expected Shero to switch, if only hoping to change their luck, but he stayed with Stephenson. Parent was not injured, he was the backup goaltender throughout.

“That’s (Canadiens’ Stanley Cup victory over the flyers) one small step for Montreal. One giant leap for hockey.”
- Neil Armstrong
Robinsons hit moved the boards. That hit was so clean and hard the referee didn’t know what to do.
Larry Robinson’s thunderous body check was clean, in my book
2 minutes for hitting too clean ... you can be sure that no one tried that on Robinson again ...

You could hear the thump.
6:46 A classic. There's other angles on the video "Stanley Cup 76" .
So great to hear the late Gene Hart call a game again
The Montreal Canadiens the greatest hockey team in the world, !! GO HABS GO !!
Agree, and I hated the Habs's back then..
And the game changed with Montreal, then Isles, then Oilers.
The Habs played & beat the Flyers at their own game

Schultz putting one past Kenny Dryden. That’s one thing I veneer thought I’d see on here
I think some of the tough guy role players were pretty skilled like Schultz, O'Reilly, and Nilan.
