The only other player who had the same level of impact was Bobby Orr and if they hadnt of screwed up his first knee operation we couldve had Gretzy and Orr playing at the same time. Wouldve been a legendary time to be watching hockey.

I had to stop watching when the narrator said "Ken Hodge" and then showed a picture of a guy (I guess his son) with a helmet on! Ken Hodge never wore a helmet. Gosh!

As an European viewer I have to point out that Pele's professional career started before Bobby Orr. But Bobby Orr is still a legend.

If Orr had waited one year to have his knee surgery (arthroscopic surgery developed one year later) we would of had him for another 10 years likely. Hockey would've been changed more so than it was.

Thanks chat gpt

Damn click bait. Really more a retrospective of Orr than about the "forgotten skill" of skating backwards (note: it isnt forgotten, just Orr did it the best, and also the fact that Gretzky couldnt skate backwards as well is kinda irrelevant as he was a forward, but anyway...)

I love a video tribute to Steve Yzerman, BUT this video has so many problems. So many inaccuracies, and on top of that, a narrator that doesn’t know how to pronounce the names of players. Awful.

Steve Yzerman was my favorite player growing up. I looked up to him in every possible way like I did to my father. His leadership and determination while persevering through so much adversity while carrying the whole team on his back for most of his career and playiing on one good leg ( needed serious knee surgery) in 2002 to win his third Stanley cup and a gold medal at the Olympics taught me to never give up and good things will happen. The first ten years of his career he had low skill teammates and terrible goaltenders with bad managment who made terrible trades. (AdamOates, Adam Graves to name a few) but always gave the fans their money's worth with such skillfull and exciting play on a consistent basis. He gave maximum effort every night despite playing on a terrible team, the man his peers called "Silk" sacrificed so much for his teammates and fans while being a class act with extremely high hockey I.Q. that he was one of the most respected players ever in Pro sports. Stevie Y aka Stevie Wonder THE LEGEND 🎉 🥂 ❤🥇 🐐

The facts you’re giving are completely wrong this is bizarre to watch

To bad this narrative is all mixed up

What a piece of crap. Factual mistakes and can’t pronounce famous players names. What a joke. Get a human narrator.

Chelios joined the wings in 2002. Not in 98.

My favorite player growing up. I had to do a math project of points on a coordinate plane and i used his stats as my data set. I got an A.

Yzerman’s best years production wise were well before Scotty Bowman.

You are doing a video on the guy n u call him IZERMEN?!?! N it’s CAROLINA not CAROLEENA

Eezerman? Caroleena? Still the best sounding bot I’ve heard so far

I agree Datsyuk was Magic. How about a magical goalie. Parent, Roy...

Please do Patrice Bergeron!

I wanna see all the legends. But I wanna see paval datsyuk and Patrice bergeron.

I'm a little bit younger than Yzerman's time, so Datsyuk was my player that was the example of a complete two-way player. But I recognize that at the start of his career he, like anyone else on that team, had been influenced a lot by Yzerman. Time may have passed, but his influence still lives on in the young players that play today even if its not as direct. A younger player may be influenced by a guy who in turn was influenced by Yzerman.

great vid. thanks for the memories. i'm 59 years old now, my very first year watching NHL hockey was 1970 and i grew up in Worcester Mass. Truth is however that even though Bobby Orr is the greatest player to ever lace up skates he wasn't the one to impress me the most on that team. that belongs to Gil Gilbert and Gerry Cheevers. it's a goalie thing. don't try to figure it out.

Detroit didn't sweep Colorado in '97, it was a 6 game series. And Chelios didn't win a cup in '98, he didn't join the Wings until the following year

Living in Boston, I had the privilege of watching the Legendary Bobby Orr. He was so fast and so talented that he skated circles around his opponents! He was the greatest hockey player of all time, and it's not even close! I have watched hockey stars since the 60s until now! He was a player way ahead of his time! He was better than any of the Montreal Canadiens during their prime, Wayne Greksy, Bossy, or anyone else. Knee injuries cut his career short. Opposing players would go for his knees. That was the only way to stop him! Bobby Orr is the GOAT of hockey, and it's not even close!

Should have been a Leaf...Ontario guy..Leaf scouts missed up

Too bad he became a psycho Trump lover.

To be considered great, you should be an all situation player. Fun fact, Gretzky killed penalties AND he is the all time leading shorthanded goal leader. I learned that when looking into Crosby's all situation stats....he's on the other end of that list.

Great videos, but if you're going to have AI do the commentary on them, at least teach it to pronounce the names correctly. It's very irritating. Thanks

Things you don't point out that you could have included instead of repeating several times the same things (like how the NHL expanded after the Trade, like 3 times you said that). Anyways.... here's some facts: 1- The NHL cancelled the 4 on 4 BECAUSE of Gretzky, only to reinstate it about a decade and a half later. 2- His points totals are indeed impressive, but the naysayers will say "hey the goalies weren't as good back then". Boohoo... who cares. During his 6-year stretch of 200+seasons (on average), he managed to outscore the next best player by more than 1.5x. in each of those seasons, winning the scoring title by around 70 points each time. In 1987, he outscored his own linemate Jari Kurri 183-108 (by +75, or a 69% advantage!). In some of those seasons, the 10th best player wasn't even HALF as good. Imagine McDavid scoring 130 points and the 10th best is only at 65... very unlikely. To put that in perspective, Connor McDavid has the honor of having won with the biggest lead over #2, with +25 two years ago since... Gretzky "only" won with +32 in 1991. Mario Lemieux's magical 199 point season was only 18% better than Gretzky's 168, with a +31 lead. 3- He's the only player with 2 straight seasons with 100 assists. Hum oops... not just 2 seasons, but ELEVEN. The Canadiens have had ONE player (Mats Naslund) with 100 points since Guy Lafleur in the 70's. Here's the best one though. Only 4 other players ever recorded 100+ assists in a season. Orr, Kucherov, Lemieux, McDavid. None of them did it more than once. Gretzky leads 11-4 against them all combined. 4- Not only does he have the goal-scoring record with 92, the 2nd best player is also him, with 87. And holds the record for fastest 50 goals, most consecutive games with a point, etc 5- In fact he holds the record for holding the most records... Now THAT is something else.

You have to love and respect the man. He never gave up.

This video doesn't really match up with the title and description. Where was the part about his mechanics, his training methods, or the footage of how he used it? And you pronounce Johnny Bucyk, Byoo-sek, not Boo-sek.

What are you talking about? Gretz has the record for records - seriously the best player ever seen. He would lose ten pounds per game-never even close to been seen.

One of the greatest and classiest players to ever lace a pair of skates.

Datsyuk was good for a Russian, but wasn't a Gretzky or Lemieux, even a Jagr.

You said nothing New at all and Eagleson is the most hated person in Hockey History...........

Wings beat Colorado in 6 games in 1997, also Chris Chelios didn't join the Wings until 1999 at the trade deadline.

Datshuke?

If it wasn’t for Lemieux and Gretzky. Stevie would have been the best player of the 80s. Hes still in my top five to ever play. Most complete player to lace em up

They didn’t sweep Colorado in 1997 they swept them in 2008

Good, now become the narrator for your work and research.

Claude L didn’t injure Yzerman’s knee. That happened years before when he slid into a goal post. Claude L did severely injure Kris Draper with a boarding hit from behind and put his face into the dasher, which ignited the rivalry.

Good Stuff, merci. * Hockey Talk & Quick Saves.

Is this made with AI? At some points you call him 'Izzerman' and instead of Carolina you said 'Caroleena' 😩

Yzerman was my Favourite player growing up 👍

You missed the biggest issue of Bobby’s career. How his manager stole a majority of his salary. Left Bobby nearly stone broke. A huge factor you left out of this attempt of a story.

His skating was too good for the many pylons in the NHL during that era. There were some real bad players back then that made it real easy for Orr to waltz around. Sure he had many great shifts versus the Habs but his weak defense was also exposed by the Habs.Orr pinched in a lot and carried it all the way in w/o caring much about defense. He would also take a lot of risks as the last man back and getting caught.However as stated there were so many players Orr could skate circles around his mistakes would go unnoticed unless he was playing versus the other top players. The Norris trophy has 90% of the time just gone to the highest scoring D man and that should NOT define the term "BEST". You can really see by a lot of highlights just how bad goalies were back then you can't get away with how Orr played anymore albeit Makar was trying it early season and at one point was like minus 9.

All the love and respect to Gretzky for still being the GOAT, but it still really makes you wonder how he would have done in the era where butterfly goalies were dominant and perfected that style. While he did play against Hasek, Roy, Brodeur, Belfour, etc., in the latter part of his career, he never played them in their primes when the butterfly became a truly dominant style that posed many problems for prolific goal scorers.

I learned a new way to pronounce Bernie Parent and Johnny Bucyk.

Part of the reason for Orr's short career is that he (like many other athletes of that era) played through everything. He would play sick or injured. As long as he could walk he played. How long would he have played if he'd learned to take a game off to recover?
