More unbelievable than their individual talent, was the instant chemistry Gretzky & Lemieux shared. It's rare that 2 players of that caliber who both want the puck so much could have such synergy on the ice together. This was the pinnacle of the sport; the greatest games ever played.

The russians said the best team they ever played was the Montreal Canadians at the summit series the game ended in a 3/3 tie but the Habs outshot them at least 60 shots to under 20 for the soviets,Tretziak was in nets if not for him the score might have been 20 to 3.

Don't be fucking silly Dennis. Team Canada kicked team Russia's asses in 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Where do you come up with this stuff?

@romans323ful 5 лет назад

The Russian coach said years after the fact, that if the NHL players were to be allotted the time to get used to the (then much bigger) bigger ice surfaces almost all European teams, etc. played on then, and a team of all stars from NHL teams would have played together long enough to truly have developed chemistry, (he spoke at length mentioning a lot of other things too, about systems, playing in front of the same 2 goal-tenders, picking the spots when to go for big hits, etc.), he believed they would have beaten his Russian teams (if my mind is recalling it right) 8 of 10 series. He did say the Montreal Canadians were one of the best SKATING teams 'HE' ever saw....... I do not remember anything about "best team they ever played"??? There was a U.S. tour where the Russians played 10 or so NHL clubs in the 1970's, & the Flyers pounded them physically, so badly, at one point he took the Russian team off the ice, only returning when the Flyers owner told them they would not get paid if they did not finish the game. The Flyers were the only NHL club to beat them & Tretiak.

shootytheturtle you’re right! The Soviet team had At least 5 guys who would have been NHL hall of fame players if they played here. Those Soviet teams could skate shoot and score! The skills and practice they would go through 11 months a year was crazy. Makarov was my favorite Soviet player of all time, he came to NHL age 32 and had 86 points first year.

@tort2 6 лет назад

I remember watching this back in 1987. Best hockey series ever. Better than the '72 Canada v. USSR (damn, I'm old!) even. The three games ended with the same, 6-5 scores and they were all nail biters. This is what hockey was all about. Unfortunately, after the 1990 break up of the USSR, the top Soviet players that came over to the NHL became 'soft' and the Russian teams never dominated like they did in the 60s to 80s (if the players didn't put out or had a bad shift or game, they and their families were evicted from their state subsidized apartments; hard to believe that's how life was in the old Soviet Union). With collective bargaining and unions, the days of training 300 days a year, 12 hours a day were a thing of the past. Gretzky and Lemieux were the greatest players in the world at the time, but collectively, the Soviets were the better team. Most Canada Cup matches were won by the Soviets. When you train as much as they did, with the same units, day after day, you become a machine. Too bad we don't see such beautiful hockey today.

@kentmartin9289 3 года назад

Good comment, but one correction, most Canada Cup matches were not won by the Soviets. Canada won 4 out of 5 Canada Cups, and in matches between Canada and Soviet Union it was 5 wins for Canada, 3 for Soviets, and 1 tie. You might be remembering how the Soviet teams won most exhibition games against NHL teams (if I remember correctly).

@brucewayne3602 2 года назад

key issue, the Soviets played together, Canada did not - hence the "machine" ... a fantasy thought, a young Bobby Orr with this team - add a further fantasy, Bobby with normal knees !!! - to consider what he could have been is absolutely frightening !!!

@spsawyer22 10 лет назад

"I don't understand why he made that play" Because it's Gretzky passing to Lemieux. That's all you need to know.

@SteroidsMakeMeStrong 9 лет назад

***** Gretzky always said that he knew Mario had a way better shot than him, so he instinctively passed to him. Even on the famous goal in the final game, he had 2 options to pass but he went with Mario.

@heatedfrost6284 6 лет назад

Apparently Gretzy specifically instructed Super Mario that he was to be the trigger man throughout this whole series. Mario had the better shot, and Gretzky could make any play. Also, all eyes would be on Gretzky because Gretzky, so they would be surprised when he passes to Mario. I'm offended that anyone could find that to be the wrong play, just because there's an opposing player "checking" Mario. He was behind Mario, and even if he had position (didn't,) how the fuck would he maneuver that mountain of a man away from the shot?

Gretzky was the least selfish player ever... a true team player.... even though he scored the most goals in NHL history he always made perfect passes to his team mates to score as well. Just look at how many times he set up Mario Lemieux in this video... it was not about his own personal glory of scoring as it was always about his team winning as a team. He made everyone better who played with him. Gretzky truly was "The Great One".

@Badvibesdude 7 лет назад

Jack Pot Gretzky has stated publicly that Mario deferred to him too much early on and he confronted him. Gretzky told Lemieux he was going to be the shooter because he had a better shot. Gretzky wanted to win more than anything.

@JAYJason6666 5 лет назад

Gretz wasnt really a goal scorer. He couldn't pick corners llike Mario. He was a passer first. Sure he scored oodles on those Oiler dynasties, but most were tic tac toes and empty netters. He scored 54 his first year out of Edmonton, but would never again come close to 50 his last nine years in the NHL. Yet he would amass multiple 100+ assists seasons during that span

@JAYJason6666 5 лет назад

@Thou Swell . He never came close to 50 again in a season the last 10 years of his career. Once he left Edmonton he became basically a pass first kind of superstar.. Dont forget every player was a goal scorer in the early 80s era. :)

@JAYJason6666 5 лет назад

@Thou Swell Lemieux got his 50th in his 44th game (although playing with much inferior linemates). Whats really insane is Gretzky's 163 assists he had that one year. I cant see that ever being broken. Sure that was the era when 8-6, 7-5 games were the norm but still....

Two moments of subtle hockey genius from the Great One: 4:38 - A perfect example of Gretzky's unmatched anticipation and hockey sense. He was already there, waiting, when the puck comes free. He is literally is 2-3 steps ahead of everyone else. 10:18 - When Gretzky realized Lemieux's pass would be behind him, he taps the russian defender's right elbow to distract him and cuts the other way to get the puck.

It is unimaginable that someone could think of that on the fly and it work. You might have to watch it 3-4 times or on slow-mo to see how great a play it is.

Gretzky-Lemieux: le meilleur duo de tout les temps!!!

@canuck_gamer3359 4 года назад

It is a terrible shame that Dan Kelly passed away just about 2 years after this event. He easily should be considered among the greatest play by play hockey men of all time. And in my view, this is the pinnacle of his career. His voice was what made this tournament so memorable and now a forever classic.

@SteroidsMakeMeStrong 9 лет назад

3:23 "I don't understand why Gretzky made that play!"... lol that's the whole point. The fact that he and Lemieux both saw it, wow.

@todd4317 Год назад

Lemieux is the only player who saw what Gretzky saw on the ice.

@bobbyrivet46 6 лет назад

Michael Griffiths Gretzky is the best player but saying that about Lemieux is absolute nonesense and shows your lack of knowledge over 1700 pts in 900+ games is pretty insane and if that guy was healthy his whole career he would of gotten well over 2000 pts.

Gretzky later recounted this: "I said, 'I want you to be the shooter. You've got a heavier shot and a better release. I'm not used to being the shooter,'" says Gretzky. At the time, Gretzky was even more pointed in his directive to Lemieux. "I want him shooting because he's got those awesome wrists," Gretzky said. "He could snap a puck through a refrigerator door."

It would have been crazy. Lemieux would have scored over 100 goals easy and who knows how many assists Gretzky would have had.

@Supermann98 4 года назад

In their primes during this era Gretzky would set up Lemieux for 100 goals and probably one of them would win the scoring title in the 225-230 point range, whoever got hot

@lukekellerman3830 3 года назад

Lemieux would score the most goals in a season for all time, specially with Gretzky setting a few up, Lemieux would be unstoppable. But Gretzky would still out point him with assists and some goals.

Shame they took Fuhr instead of Roy for some reason, but it did make for a lot more drama when Grant couldn't stop a beach ball against Russia. That powerplay with 10,000 career points among the 5 of them and the greatest passer/playmaker with the greatest pure skilled player/shooter of all time on the same team (or same line at times). Unbelievable.

@slauzon01 2 года назад

Combined career totals for the big five pp unit, Lemieux, Gretz, Mess, Coffee, and Bourque is insane. That's 616 goals 1,338 assist and 1,955 points per player and we can thank #99 for the lions share of the totals. Greatest team Canada line combination in NHL history.
