Damn, Chris Nilan, Lyndon Byers, Cam Neely and Glen Featherstone were all out of the Bruins' lineup for this match. This brawl would've REALLY been something if they were all dressed, 8D
Do you have any idea who your talking about. Those announcers have called games back when you were still trying to figure out if you like men or not. We all have our answer. Good choice for you.
@@dominickgrimaldi6352 Boston announcers were/are garbage. Sanderson used to do the same stuff and if Boston could have fought their way out of a paper bag they'd have been singing a different tune.
Yeah, that's why he has respect throughout the league, and was a captain for over 20 years, and is considered one of the greatest captains of all time, as well as one of the greatest ambassadors of the game too. Enjoy the basement of the Northeast Division
"I hope Pitt plays Detroit in the finals, so you can see how much they've improved." In last years finals, PIttsbugh didn't score their first goal until game 3. For their sake, I hope they have improved.
No, I believe they do help with hand/eye coordination. Maybe not in a metaphysical sense but they certainly allow for a more confident approach to sports. Hence, a being in the zone type feeling that heightens awareness. I remember while taking them being able to do many things better, from shooting baskets better to hitting racquetballs off the glass more accurately. They add a certain amount of confidence that cant be explained chemically (as far as I know)
@wingnut9090 That's part of the reason why so many players today are getting their bells rung - too much hardened plastic in these bulky shoulder/elbow pads being worn today.
Fred Cusak the announcer & Derek Sanderson the comentator. Sanderson was a Goon for the B's back in the early 70's, most famous for feeding the pass to Bobby Orr to win the cup. ( Orr flying through the air ) Bias.. you bet! both announcers were great through the 80's & early 90's too bad the B's never amounted to anything. ( still haven't ) great video.
For example since the 1996-1997 season till today the league has had 3 teams score more than 300 goals in a season. 3 teams people, in well over a decade. During the 1988-89 season their were 10 teams that had over 300 goals and several more that were very close. To compare offensive stats of a defenseman from that era to this era is completely unfair as the league produced hundreds more goals and assists then. Even the best defensive players now struggle to get a +30 in this era.
Nobody better then Fred Cusick.. what an old time fight..even though its not old old game..but my old Bruins were good back then..beathing Detroit and no big deal:)
its ridiculous how big the shoulder pads are nowadays, goalie pads too. i'd kinda like to see some games with the origonal small pads. make things alot more interesting.
The commentators try to say Kostintinov got his ass kicked when he is the one who knocked out his opponent. They also say Yzerman started it, and Probert got beat.
No no no, we were talking Wings/Bruins. And there you lose up down, and sideways. I WIN! LMAO. Once again, how does a #1 seed lose a game 7 at home to a #6 seed. Shocking. And, im loving every minute of it. In fact, I thought of you first as I watched the Canes get that OT goal. Beautiful man, beautiful.
"You've had the easiest road to the cup I've ever seen" You have no idea how silly his sounds coming from a fan of a #1 seed who just lost to a #6 seed at home. I'm drowning in the irony of it all.
Of course the announcers are homers, Sanderson WAS A BRUIN during his career. That's what made sports great then, listening to your home town team being covered by fans and not just objective onlookers. Most, Heinsohn, Sanderson, etc.
Yeah, Bettman and those right winged moronic NHL governors ruined the game by listening to those whiny crybabies who hates hitting and fighting trying to sissify the sport. Bunch of sissies. They even let Rogers steal Hockey Night In Canada production away from CBC.
and none of these players suck, if you make the NHL your an awesome hockey player, datsuk is amazing, hossa, franzen, zetterberg, lidstrom,ozzy, rafalski, conklin , great team in detroit for years to come, watch and see!!
P.S, Ortiz will NOT get back to old form. Most of the top players are struggling so far this season. It's obvious that they have gotten scared and all got off the juice. Now that Manny got a 50 game pop and constant screening till the end of his career you can bet it's lonely being a HGH dealer these days in the MLB.
I love how he trys to make it sound like Konstintinov got his ass kicked, when the guy he fought was laying on the ice when the fight was over! This old commentator is blind!
I totally agree with you. I am a diehard canucks fan who also loves watching anything to deal with hockey especially on youtube. But the sad thing is the comments. All I hear and read is "canucks suck, my team is better" and "why you guys making canucks videos?" and all I want to say is...why are you watching canucks videos in the first place?" I wish people just respects other fans teams and keep the comments to themselves!
"You obviously didn't watch the playoffs if you think Chara looked disinterested in the playoffs. He put more hits on Staal in the series than Lidstrom has thrown in his career!" Staal had what, 4 goals in that series. Not bad, considering they were facing a #1 seed. Compare that to the 5 goals he had in the 7 game series against NJD and the zero goals he's had so far in the Pitt series and I'd say that holding him to 4 goals is nothing to brag about.
GO YZERMAN!!! One of the greatest to ever play the game! Maybe the Wings lost that game... But, where are the Bruins now? HUH!?! lol... GO WINGS! 16 straight years in the playoffs! WOO!
"But the emergence and growth of the 3 best players in the game now (Ovechkin, Crosby, and Malkin) and the 2 favorites for the Norris (Chara and Green) and the best goaltender is Thomas (statistically), shows that the east is now tougher." That was your statement. Not quite the version you just gave us. You're saying they have the better forwards, goaltender, and dman (all easily debateable) and you never mentioned the West getting older (are they?).
"When you can put Staphane Yelle and PJ Axelsson on your 4th line-2 of the games best defensive forwards" No, actually several of the games best defensive forwards play for Detroit. Which is why they win Selke's. Let's not forget our 4th line Center (Draper) has won a Selke (unlike yours), as has 1st line Center Datsyuk, and of course Zetterberg is one of the best two-way players in the World..
It's kind of funny how the annouoncer gets all excited when Probert threw a punch at that Bruin player. "OHHHH!!! he threw a punch and flatten a Bruin!"
But that's only this year and even then Anaheim was one of the toughest #8 seeds ever and everyone knows it. For the last decade, Detroit had to scrape thru and sometimes lose to Edmonton, Anaheim, Calgary, Avs and Dallas who all went on to win cups. So, by your definition, Detroit should have far more Cups.
"Never seen anything like that"?????? If that guy had been doing Boston announcing for over 40 years, and never saw that with "The Big Bad Bruins" he is a damn lier!
Just curious...why is Lazaro's name never mentioned when they list black players in the NHL? I've seen lists of black players, and his name isn't on any of them.
You know, it really sucks to that the league is so desperate for someone else to win the Norris that they look for any reason not to give it to Lidstrom. I mean, he's gonna lose it to either Chara or Green and that's friggin sad. I know it's awarded over the regular season, but we all know the best Dmen are made in the playoffs. And right now Green and Chara are no better than Pronger at his worst.
That and the fact that Konstantinov and Lazaro weren't the first two too fight. Infact it shows Moog then goes too the fight. You see a Lazaro skating into a Ref then him and Konstantinov fight. He actually went after Konstantinov. I thought Mickey Redman was horrible but atleast when a Wing loses a fight he acknowledge's the fact that they lost. "The Goaltenders are in this one Moog and Cheveldae. The were just there trying too break shit up. Not even looking like they were going too fight.
You can't find a sportswriter who wouldn't put Lidstrom at #3 right now. You can't, and he's still got several years left in him. He would make the Hall on his international career alone. Add that to the fact his playoff career is amazing and it's easy. Yeah, Bourque had nice offensive stats (everyone did during those years) but as a Defensman, it's no contest. Like I said, find someone outside Boston who thinks Lidstrom is #4 and not #3.
It was the bruins network what did you expect. Try to find it on the Detroit tampon station. You’ll hear the same thing. How they want Yerzermans hog in their throat.
"You've had the easiest road to the cup I've ever seen, playing a 7, 8, and 3 seed in an inferior conference"! Come on now...you're better than this. The 8th seed they faced was a Cup winner 2 seasons ago and crushed the best team in the league. Inferior conference!!! ehh, not so sure bout all that. I mean, if it wasn't for NJ would the East have won a Cup in the last 15 years? What are you taking about Detroits record against?? We beat Pittsburgh one season ago! Terrible argument.
"18 must seem great...but let me know when you get to 28. Not only did Boston have 28 straight playoff appearances", Oh dear, we ain't talking bout the 60's 70's when 90% off all teams made the playoffs. Try going 18 straight (an still going) in modern times with 30 teams.. "The only thing Detroit has is" Everything..Let's not forget Stanley Cup rings and experience, something Boston doesnt have.
How can you pick Chara and Green as favorites for the Norris trophy over Lidstrom? Lidstrom is the best defense the game has ever seen. East is definitely getting better, without doubt. But you really can't say that they're better than the West. San Jose only lost first round to the 8th seeded team mainly because of the absence of some of their top stars. Sharks, Ducks and Blackhawks all could have dropped the Pens, Caps, or Hurricanes.
Yeah they are tool boxes for sure. If you can believe it I remember this game Lazaro wasn't even hurt he was acting. He attacked konstantinov knowing that konstantinov was not a fighter and that's probably what Stevie Yzerman was saying to him that he jumped a guy that wasn't a fighter so Bob Probert came in there and popped the little bitch in the head. And if anyone remembers Lazaro he was like that marchante guy for Boston now a little trouble making bitch boy.
"Detroit has set hockey back thirty years!" Ummm... Detroit has set the bar for hockey since this year. 3 Cups...and counting, 6 Presidents Trophies...and counting, 8 100+ point seasons...and counting, 17 consecutive playoffs...and counting
"Wow, after that game 7 we just saw you are the last person I expected to hear from" I was actually talking about the Bruins, but we can go ahead and add the Celtics to it also. Guess Boston can't win game 7's at home regardless of the sport. Seriously..who loses by 20 friggin points at home in a Game 7 when you are the favorite. I like how you wait till your teams are out to vent and attack. Pathetic.
Lol, there you go with Melrose again. He was a player in the Wings system and the Wings dissed him years ago. He thinks he should have been Ken Holland and takes any opportunity to talk smack on the Wings (albeit he's laid-off this season). Once again, I've only heard the consensus that Lidstrom is #3rd best right now and may end up #2nd best before he retires. If you feel Bourque is better, that's your opinion and I know that it's a minority one at that.
Ouch, when you lose two home game 7's in two sports in one week I would be looking to compare Hockey to basketball as well.....WTF. The league gave them their rebound title, now its over.
No, Stevie did not start it. As for the "Bruin's win 4-1 an thats all that matters" part, do you really bellieve that? Is that why you clicked on the video, because it said "Bruins win 4-1" or did it say, in big capital letters, BRAWL. Do you find all of the clips that you can of the Bruins winning hockey games, or do you go for the fights? I don't know you, but I am guessing that you watch the fights. Why do you watch the fights? Because they matter, don't kid yourself.
Bwahaahahahaha the Lions. Talk about getting desperate. Look man, you are gonna have to find another outlet. Burress caught the ball, Garnet didn't deliver and "we want it", turned into, "we want it as long as it's not too hard". Yep, you have a great decade, and now that's over. The Tigers are in 1st place right now and should challenge all year. Who cares about Willis, he was a throw-in for Cabrera (who's probably the top hitter in the AL). Also, we don't go 100 years in between titles.
I's a dumb argument. Detroit has won 4 outta of the last 12 Cups and are probably the strongest team they have had of any of those right now. Boston had a really really good regular season. To crown Boston camps is flat out absurd. Mason is (will be) the Calder winnner and a Vezina candidate and we saw how Detroit just wrecked him. Chara might...might win the Norris (Lidstrom has won 6 and should have 8 or 9 in actuality) your match-ups don't scare me at all.
Lidstrom has never needed to hit. He takes the puck away from players. Look at 02 when had Betuzzi and Laraque, did they overpower him? Answer: no he onwed them up and down the ice. Big or small, strong, fast, weak, shifty, fighter, it doesn;t matter. Lidstrom makes top forwards disappear in the playoffs. Please see Rick Nash and a dozen others.
What aren't you getting here man? The title is won in June, not January. If teams like Edmonton, Calgary, Anaheim, and Detroit were such patsies they wouldn't win Cups. As far as he Canes improving over the season..look at Anaheim. They were like the 16th seed at one point. This is beyond stretching to make a point (which you don't have). That must be why The Bruins can't win anything, they think the Cup is won in November, lol.
Plus, the 80's were a score a minute league and until the mid 90's it remained. I mean 50 goals was far more common then. The league screwed themselves with this trap crap, neutral zone drag, left wing lock nonsense and let the goalies look like it was Halloween. We get maybe 1 50 goal scorer a year now. You trying to tell me Ovechkin couldn't get 70 goals in the 80's and 90's.. It's basically impossible to get a +124 in Lidstroms era as the best teams can't outscore other teams that much.
What the hell got into Probert? This thing was over. In the old days, Wensink, O'Reilly, Secorod and Miller wouldn't have pulverized that drugged out thug
Wow, after that game 7 we just saw you are the last person I expected to hear from. If you wanna put the Bruins history up against the Red Wings, that's your business, but the facts would state otherwise. I'm just not that impressed. I mea look how many 100 point plus seasons the Wings have had, the Cups, the division titles, etc. Boston has been a slighty over 500 teams since its inception (minus Bobby Orr being drafted at 14, which was a gift from the league).
