For older Red Wings fans like me, he will always be known simply as "the Captain". Other Red Wings have worn the C, but Yzerman IS the C.
Beautifully said
In very few places can you say “The Captain” and have people know exactly who you’re talking about.
@@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson Weird comment, since I specifically limited it to older Red Wings fans, and not the general population...
@@davevandebunte2949 yeah, I should have been more specific. I was agreeing with you. Detroit is one of the few places where you can say “The Captain” and people will know exactly who you’re talking about.
@@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson Thank you for clarifying. When I read it, I interpreted it as a disagreement. My bad!
best captain in league history
No other future Red Wings player can and will ever beat this man's legacy.
They are just waiting for a player to bring them back into relevance again
Not to mention he’s still adding to his wings legacy
Amen. Greatest Captain in NHL History!
@@KetaProductions I could be wrong but among the talent that has arrived in Detroit, Ville Husso may be that player.
How could anyone?
They’d have to one up:
End 42 year Cup drought
Be Captain for basically their whole career
Play their whole career in Detroit, in the cap era
Take a fraction of what your salary should be to facilitate a better team
Basically play on two bad knees
…and on and on
Steve Yzerman, a total class act. Nothing but kudos for this dedicated hockey star both on the ice & in the front office.
So glad he’s back in Detroit!
Someone they can live and die for. Chills.
The reason why I'm a Red Wings fan. My ultimate hockey hero
You couldn't have picked a better one!
Same here. I still make my trip to Vancouver every year to watch the Yzerplan work it’s way to more Cups.
If there was ever a player that walked away from the game with nothing in the tank, it was The Captain. The man can barely skate these days and his knees are shot.
The Captain gave everything......EVERYTHING. It's rare to see a career fully realised, this man's was.
What a beautiful comment 👍
My Favourite player of all time. The Captain. The ‘02 run on one knee, this man is absolute heart through and through.
Passion. Heart. Determination. Sounds like the producer of these videos.
Ha! Perhaps one about me for the channel video.
The best player of all time. I watched him play all the time over his years. I still have his Jersey.
I'm a Rangers fan. However, Steve Yzerman was everything a great hockey player epitomized. My all time favorite.
Best NHL player EVER! My favorite of all time. Epic video. If I could like it 1,000 times I would. Your other vids are pretty great as well. This one is just my favorite because Yzerman rules!!
Thanks for the high praise 😊
We love you Captain! Thank you for the happiness you had given to Wings fans all around the world.
The Illitch family considered him a son, a brother, and basically adopted him into the family.
Anyway Im so fired up he is the RW GM now
My All time favorite player. He was such a great leader and so skilled
I have always been a Steve Yzerman fan!! And, I didn't know the full history on him. Thanks for a great presentation! It's too bad the Wings missed the playoffs (2024) by only 2 points! Tough to be a wild card!
Yzerman always putting the team above himself always makes me forget how good he really was. He's by far my favourite player, but I always forget how good his offense was early on. Just a captain through and through.
Nice doc. Yzerman was my favorite player growing up.
Not comparing Larkin to Yzerman, but Yzerman had tons and i mean TONS of doubters after his first decade in the league. Larkin seems to share that too because as of late im seeing lots of Larkin doubters too. Larkin isn't Yzerman, and no one will even come close.. but Larkin has bought into the defensive mindset and ALWAYS goes to the hard areas of the ice and does whatever it takes to win. Once we get some more talent coming up i have no doubt things will start to pay off.
Great video man!
LGRW
Thanks 😊 I hope Larkin gets more support soon. Win my boy, Troy Stecher, a cup!
I like Larkin but he’s not even close to Yzerman. Yes he plays a solid defensive game but he has put up no where near the amount of points that Yzerman did through the first 6 years of his career and Yzerman played on some awful teams early in his career just like Larkin.
@@wings193 Yzerman also played through his first few years in the 80s. That says it all right there. And did i not mention no one will come close to Yzerman?
i like Sider more than Larkin
And here we are. Nov 2022 and the Wings are blazing a trail. Husso is the anchor and quite a few players are performing really well.
This was awesome!! My favorite player of all time. Keep making these videos. Suggestions for a future video. You should make one for Federov.
Thanks for the words of encouragement. Fedorov would make for a great story!
I (barely) remember being roughly 3 years old and thinking Rob Lowe as Dean Youngblood in the movie “Youngblood” was Steve Yzerman😂😂
Omg thank you so much for reminding of that movie…
The only thing better than a cold beer is Tea with ms McGill
Got all emotional. Amazing vid. The captain givung vlady the cup always puts a lump in my throat
That was awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 😎 that u did something about Mr. Yzerman!!!!!
He's got such a compelling story, the story kind of told itself!
Amazing video. I mean really. Brought me almost to tears a couple times too. Being born in 85, raised during the best era of Red Wings hockey 🏒 your video is top notch production!!!
Oh the nostalgia. Glad you found value in the video!
What a great time to grow up in metro Detroit. Yzerman was drafted when I was 6 and retired when I was 29. His presence defined that whole time period for all of us. Well done video.
Whoa. What a fantastic video! Thank you for paying tribute to such a fantastic hockey player, manager, and human being. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos.
Trust the Yzerplan
Trust in the Yzerplan 🙌🏼LGRW
He is gorgeous!
He was always been my favorite player.
Loved watching this! Great work. Thank you for the content
Thanks for taking the time to comment 😊
Thanks for this, awesome
I'll say it again the Detroit Red Wings franchise exists today because of Stevey Y
How serendipitous. Captain for 19 years. His jersey number, 19. Attaboy Stevie Y. Great Canadian right there. Canadian and proud 🇨🇦 🍁
Thanks for making this video! Excellent work!
Thanks! But is it Father Fujii-approved?
Great video! Thanks!
Love me some Stevie Y . Nice Video !!
Thanks Steve. I appreciate you showing the Hockey world that British columbia has super,-Stars
That's my Captain! #19 will forever be the best Captain of all time. GO WINGS! 🙌
My favorite player in any and every sport in the World 🌎
Hard to think of anyone else worth looking up to more than Yzerman!
Great video. Steve is the goat.
He's a true warrior a very tough man I idealized this man growing up he was our Michael Jordan in Detroit.
And now he’s returning us to glory as GM.
Trust the Yzerplan!
silk best hockey player i have ever watched i seen him play at the old barn in windsor for the petes
You are so privileged!
Great video, thanks! :)
Thank you my friend
Awesome video man.
“The Measuring Stick.”
🐐
I loved this guy along with smoken Joe from the Avalanche, Mr. Bob Gainey .
Great video
A class act on and off the ice.
Heart of Detroit Hockey
Fucking legend
Yzerman is the heart and soul of not just the Red Wings but the city of Detroit and state of Michigan! He has come home to save the once proud Red Wings so he is officially Detroit's Jesus to me!
Once a captain, always a captain!
My favorite nhl player of all time. There will never be another. Only he can get the wings back on track to stanley cups and you can see his plan coming together for the team. Can't wait to see whats gonna happen in the next few years for the wings its gonna be crazy.
The plan's looking pretty good so far!
@@KetaProductions oh hell yea. Seider and Raymond. And hopefully Andjelkovich stays and keeps progressing. Yzerman keeps making picks like these guys and it's just a matter of years before Wings are competing again. Maybe sooner? you never know. Cannot wait to see it all unfold though!
Straight up champ
This is what a real champion is. He could have complained, made it all about him, and demanded a trade at anytime. Instead he chose to work his ass off year after year and EARN IT the hard way.
Red Wings:
1983 Missed playoffs
1984 Lost first round
1985 Lost first round
1986 Missed playoffs (Finished dead last)
1987 Lost conference finals
1988 Lost conference finals
(Yzerman doesn't leave the team)
1989 Lost first round
1990 Missed playoffs (2nd last place)
(Yzerman doesn't leave the team)
1991 Lost first round
1992 Lost 2nd round
1993 Lost first round
1994 Lost first round
1995 Lost Stanley Cup final
1996 Lost Conference finals
1997 Won Stanley Cup final
1998 Won Stanley Cup final
1999 Lost 2nd round
2000 Lost 2nd round
2001 Lost 1st round
2002 Won Stanley Cup final
Now I can die in peace
Uh oh. Bad omen for hardcore mode
The epitome of a captain
Respect
He's a true leader, he stayed with Detroit until he retired THEN came back to turn us back into an eventual championship team...again!
Yeah it's crazy he gave away the opportunity to win multiple cups in Tampa to take on the project in Detroit. He's a Red Wing, through and through.
Cool.
Greatest moment in sports history was when yzerman gave the Stanley cup to Vladimir konstantinov
That was very special, one of those can't miss moments in sports
* salutes*
Captain! My Captain!
That 95 Devils team was absolutely *not* a powerhouse at the time. In hindsight, the names make it seem that way but that was a franchise-shifting upset.
The defensive/gritty changes you mention when Bowman arrived didn't really happen until after the loss to the Devils. And Yzerman had an immediate buy in at that point.
Great Job!
TOP 3 players ALL TIME
1.WAYNE GRETZKY
2.MARIO LEMIEUX
3.STEVE YZERMAN
66
19
99
Just my opinion not looking to argue.
I think of who was around them and the situations they were in.
Can’t really go wrong putting those guys in any order. Miss watching them so much.
But I have to ask…who do you put at #4 on this list?
1:30 look at that fkn lettuce bro LMAO love it. #LGRW so glad he's home
Lettuce witness greatness once again 🤣
Best Red Wing in my time best red wing ever
Greatest captain in NHL history..
Perhaps in all of pro sports!
@@KetaProductions I'll take both arguments. The best 2 way player I've ever seen.
Hockey god!!!
Как же здорово, что я застал эпоху великих. АЙЗЕРМАН, ЛИДСТРОМ, ФЕДОРОВ, КОНСТАНТИНОВ..... привет всем из Мурманска)
Steve Yzerman played a lot for team Canada at Worlds in late 80s ,because Red Wings were just not good at the time..He was my favourite Canadian growing up in communist Czechoslovakia ...He was always among top scorers and i learnt how to pronunciate his name being 10 years old back than 🙂 and later with Fedorov ,,,high flying Red Wings ...ohh my ....it was a good times ..finally winning the CUP in 1997 🙂
I wish him the best back in Detroit .....following his YZERPLAN 🙂
I can see how Yzerman can be a nightmare to pronounce!
@@KetaProductions Yzerman was very good scorer for team Canada during communist times in Czechoslovakia. Always top top player ...you had to learn how to pronounce his name -)))
The name 'Yzerman' means 'Ironman' in Dutch. His name was his destiny... 🦾😎
I did not know this. Wow!
@@KetaProductions Yeah- it's crazy. 'Yzerman' is a Dutch surname. 'Yzer' is a corruption of 'ijzer'- 'iron', but has the same pronunciation and meaning. Could there be a more fitting name for him? Your fantastic tribute to him shows how deserving he is of this name. Thanks for the great work you do in bringing these incredible hockey legends to life. I am an old Wings fan, so this video was extra-special!😁👍
The Captain
Hmmmmm a young center named Captian who everyone doubted was gonna be the leader and could lead there team to lord stanley, were have I heard that recently, oh wait thats litteraly Dylan Larkin😂
Legend. If only my beloved Whalers had taken him instead of Pierre Turgeon...
*Sylvain Turgeon
I hear he's a fair golfer too. LGRW
The trade at availability.
While he wouldn't be my first pick, he would always be my first pick for team captain.
Oh yeah. I would run through area 51 for this guy!
That's why the number 19 is hanging in the Rafter's.
Beautiful tribute to Stevie Y, But Scotty Bowman deserves credit for Stevie becoming a two way player, To Stevie's credit though he gave up personal goals for the team, the team and winning the cup was all that mattered to him taking pay cuts to sign players and most notable so they could resign and match the contract the hurricanes offered. Fedorov that year would've been on the hurricanes who they beat for the cup
Oh I absolutely agree Scotty had much to change upon joining the Red Wings. I'll be covering that when I make his video!
@@KetaProductions Awesome, keep up the good work, enjoying the videos, I watched Stevie from his first game in Peterborough. I was 12 when Stevie was drafted by the wings 😂 two yrs prior I was given a Gretzky hockey's stick signed from his rookie season, it had certificate and everything, my grandfather won it in a grocery store draw in Brantford where I'm from, played street hockey with it and chewed it up, I was dumb 😂
@@Migmaw hahaha that's like using the Stanley Cup as a paperweight! What a story 😂
This guy lehit made me and the kids i knew growing up want to be defensive
...( the cappy )...
We beat them bloody what is he talking about when retaliate
Yzerman playing for Ottawa yikes
Yeah could you imagine
Not true abt his defense. Only when bowman came and demanded 2 way play did it come out
That's also my understanding of what happened 🙂
Watched Stevie get a game misconduct and sent to the locker room in Nashville they lost but more redwing fans then preds
"now Yzerman's team would run through walls for him" BS. Ever since this man had the C on his sweater his teammates had his back. Obviously, you never watched a game in the 80s and 90s. The Flyers physicality was neutralized by the Red Wings speed? Incorrect. The Wings had a team full of gritty, hardworking grinders and could match anyone in that area. Man, do you ever watch hockey?
😭
Avs fan here. Stevie Y was great. I could say Joe Sakic was better, but I won't. Not on this episode.
I'll put him ahead of Gretzky any day. Gretzky never became a two way player like yzerman
Probert is king
RIP
If he wouldn’t of had those devestating injuries and missed so much time he would have reached 2000 points the best player ever I think
Yzerman's value transcended stats.🇨🇦🏒
