I remember this game a 12 - 3 beat down by the Jets then 2 days later the Nordiques returning the favor winning the Avco Cup beating the Jets at home 8 - 1. Loved those years in the WHA some memorable times.
The Stanley Cup Finals ended on May 14, leaving several days open for CBC to broadcast games from the Avco World Trophy Finals. They were among, and I think the last, of the very few WHA games ever telecast by CBC.
i didn't know Don Wittman called games for the WHA. mind you,i was a twerp back then and was more worried about finding old pepsi and coke bottles to take to the store
J'espère que l'homme qui partage sa vie avec toi réalise le privilège qu'il a d'être à tes côtés. Bien sûr que tu es magnifique mais c'est ce que tu es et les valeurs en quoi tu crois qui fait qu'un homme demeure avec sa partenaire de vie. Tu bouges tellement bien et avec grâce que ça en est époustouflant.
Dang. As a Canucks fan it was rough watching King Richard in for all those goals. At least they got their revenge in game 7 winning 8-2 and taking home the last Cup.
@13:29 - It's Agnetha Folkskag from ABBA! Do you have any video from the Jets' exhibition game vs. Poldi Kladno from December 12, 1976? Keep these WHA videos coming!
I still love old-time hockey. Two years later, both clubs were in the NHL along with the Oilers and the Whalers. Nowadays, the NHL is so watered down I don't really give a fuck.
Yeah they might have had better luck pulling the goalie and having the 6th skater lol, though Brodeur made some big saves too - I feel for the goalies in this era as they look so much smaller in their nets than they do today with all that padding!
Not only did they not have any padding, the goalies were much smaller because they had to be acrobatic and mostly just use their glove and stick, along with the double pad slide... A very exciting era, to be sure
@@EdwinMaturski-cc9is a different time, for sure! But if the goalies didn't have the modern bulky equipment nowadays, the speed of today's game would be too much for them. Feels like we would see almost football-like scores lol!
I believe that it was '79... And it was done because sometimes there would be fights after a goal and the other team would be undermanned on the ice and causing a bench clearing brawl
@@EdwinMaturski-cc9is Don Cherry forced the change by clearing the bench every time the Canadiens did it during the 1979 semi-final. Ziegler banned the practice after game 2 of that series and it hasn't happened in an NHL game since.
The Golden Jet... It's quite incredible that his kid ended up scoring more than him, and went on to become one of the greatest goal scorers in NHL history
And....... Roger Neilson RIP T he Original whiteout. Back to my original question, And.... I'm not putting him down but I don't beleive he did much of much, besides that miracle run. The clock strikes midnight. Things fall apart and even though you've convinced yourself that maybe.....
Shifts in those days were very long so players could not go full tilt. About ten years ago, NHL players’ shifts were reduced to about 45 seconds which allowed them to skate full tilt. Recently, I’ve noticed many NHL players are approaching shift durations of a minute and a half (some even longer); consequently, they cannot go full tilt.
I wonder when they stopped pronouncing hedberg as hed -bear. Lol I distinctly remember the 'bear' pronounciation but until this video thought I was misremembering it!
It also continued when he went to the Rangers... You can still see the footage of those games on UA-cam with the great announcing duo of Jim Gordon and Bill "The Air-Raid Siren" Chadwick
Those leg pads are made of leather and cotton padding. A single pad probably weighed more than all of the equipment worn by today's goalies... oh, ya, and they got heavier as the game went on because they got soaked with ice-water.
these goalies are awful the announcers when they make what is routine save today say its great save and when they let in awful goal they always have excuse like he didnt seem to be set and was surprised by that 20 mph shot that beat him lol
You have no idea how heavy those leather pads were. The weight of the pads meant that you couldn't wear the gargantuan pads you see today because they would weigh 100 pounds once they got wet.
@neilens1589 any of us who played goal in the 1970's, know how heavy the goalie pads were. I had a pair of Bauer pads that were leather & filled with moose hair. They were 10 lbs. Today's pad weigh around 5 lbs each.
@@Firestone1With today's huge pads being triple the volume of those old pads (thickness included), I can only imagine how heavy they would be if they used the same materials that yours had. They might weigh 30 pounds each 😂.
These guys couldnt play in a beer league nowadays, especially the goalies. However, you can see Hull's talent, you could see him being a star in today's NHL with modern training and techniques.
Goalies wore leather pads with cotton padding back then. They got so heavy once they got wet that you had to keep them small. Today's goalie equipment is huge and weighs nothing by comparison.

8-2
@@CGMedia2023 Yeah I realized that afterwards but didn't feel the need to edit my small error on the score.
Thanks for posting, i loved the WHA
I was at this game... amazing! Bobby Hull is my all-time favourite player.
Fantastic stuff, thanks for uploading!

I do remember now that CBC did some WHA playoff games! Great memories! I also remember Global in their early days doing Toronto Toros games
This is interesting.
Some good plays, some beer league level stuff too. More standing around watching the puck than I remembered.
One of my hockey regrets is not being able to see the Golden Jet live or on TV, like I did the NHL in the 70s.
Awesome footage!
i didn't know Don Wittman called games for the WHA. mind you,i was a twerp back then and was more worried about finding old pepsi and coke bottles to take to the store
I believe the game was broadcast on CBC.
Keep those Jet highlights coming.
Hey Joe I grew up watching you on CKND. The good ole days.
@ Hopefully I raised you right. lol. Thank you
Upload more WHA if you have.
I think this is the first clip of a WHA game I've ever seen. I was baby / toddler during the WHA years so I don't remember this league at all.
@@daboys1215 same here. 70s baby here myself.
glen sather has always said how much he enjoyed the Jets style of play (WHA days)
Tremblay sur la glace pour 10 buts des Jets wow
Bobby Dingdong was on fire!

Hull's rug took a whooping
i was at the game steve debano ripped Hulls rug off, big brawl afterwards good old days lol
@@randyfromthepeg4994 It was actually Dave Hanson who ripped Hull's wig off...
I'm glad to be able to see it at all. Now that I have, daun, it would we vice to see the Jets fans, rewarded and happy, for once.
There were 4WHAteams
4 WHA teams? in the 77-78 season there were 8 teams.
Hull was already 20 years into his pro career at this point.

PLEASE tell me you have the Jets/USSR game that the Jets won 5-2.
I still love old-time hockey. Two years later, both clubs were in the NHL along with the Oilers and the Whalers. Nowadays, the NHL is so watered down I don't really give a fuck.
I appreciate your honesty. And I agree!
BOBBY HULL Score's a Hat Trick. TREMBLAY should be in the HOF (Long Overdue).
Dynasty JETS made the Finals in 5/7 Seasons in WHA Winning 3 in 4 Years.
I had no idea that Fran Huck played for the Jets.
He played for them twice. 73-74 and 76-77.
16:06 At 11-3 in the third period… in the coach’s wise strategic move, he pulls the goalie to give his team a chance to come back!
Loved the WHA man, they would do anything.
Why put the camera so high like they used to have at the MSG for NYR games?
Yeah they might have had better luck pulling the goalie and having the 6th skater lol, though Brodeur made some big saves too - I feel for the goalies in this era as they look so much smaller in their nets than they do today with all that padding!

@devipaduka How right you are... The talent throughout the league is quite excellent
When did they stop allowing the whole team to jump on the ice and congratulate the goal scorer?

@@EdwinMaturski-cc9is Thanks
@@CGMedia2023 Great historical knowledge, CG
What I found interesting is that Brodeur was pulled after giving up 11 goals. Today, he would've been replaced much sooner.
I guess they thought that they still had a chance at 10-3🤣🤣🤣
@@ZZ-qk8ji in the WHA? Hell yes they still had a chance.
The great Robert Marvin Hull.

Thanks for the rare to find WHA Final Games. Was this 1977 Finals on national television in either the U.S. or Canada?
I don't know about the entire series but, CBC broadcast game 7. Sounds like they did game 6 as well.
@@WiseGuy_2 Game 6 was on CBC local in Winnipeg, they didn't go national until game 7.
9,14,15 awesome line
Greg and Marcia Brady at 13:35
No glitz from any jumbo-tron or sound system. Just straightforward hockey.
Jets were in 5 Avco cups, won 3
What the heck was #19 of the Nordiques wearing???
Steve Sutherland had to wear part of a mask because his jaw was broken earlier that season.
Don Wittman with the call.
I'm surprised Hull's wig didn't fall off.
I guess the Nordiques thought a check was something you pick up at the pay office every two weeks.
Best thing no rough stuff.
Rugby ice hockey. Yay!
When did all the Swedish guys get French last names???
Whitman always did that with the Swedes in Winnipeg. Part of his charm.
Goaltending optional
King Richard Brodeur took the Canucks to the Stanley Cup finals a few years later .
@bobbyhulll8737
Yeah I know

And....
I'm not putting him down but I don't beleive he did much of much, besides that miracle run. The clock strikes midnight. Things fall apart and even though you've convinced yourself that maybe.....
@@Pocketrocket-pj1us what are you taking about ?
These guys skating in slow motion? Zero defence and the goalie jumps out of the way of a slap shot? 😂😂
Hulls ridiculous toupee!! 😂😂
You can hardly tell it's a wig !
According to today's rules, there were 15 penalties before the goal was scored at the beginning
Today's players are twice as fast.

No Redlining
Makes a difference...
Different Game
Faster because the skates are half the weight today.
it's because they stopped smoking in the dressing rooms between periods.
Yes, those were the days of the 2-line offside. No stretch passes over the red line from the defensive zone.
Guy in the stands wearing a mask. Must of heard Covid was coming. 🤭
I've seen about 10 plays which would be penalties in todays game.
More like 110, John... Every play was an infraction by today's standard

Lol..... I think he is probably just holding the beer cup in his mouth in order to clap.
What a joke, some of these guys can't even stand upright , like they party too hard the night before.
Many went on the became stars in the NHL ..
these goalies couldnt make a minor league team today
@ if a goalie today had to wear this they wouldn’t either lol
@@bobbyhulll8737exactly. If the goalies had to use the primitive padding of the 1970's, they'd be shell shocked too.

Brodeur ended up having a nice career in the NHL. Joe Daley was always a backup in the NHL, with the expansion Penguins & later the Sabres.

how come hull was bald and then he have hair?
Game was slow as molasses and goalies couldn't stop a beach ball, no wonder why Wayne G could get so many points...
The Quebec goalie is definitely a poor goldtender at least in this game
