As an Islander fan u know where I stand but man that 86 Rangers team had a great run and at the time and still till this day, they got hosed in this game on Lemieux goal.
@@danielkelegian5306 Ya, but that was incidental contact. McPhee was gone on a break and was taken down by a hook. I watched this game when I was a kid. The reason the Rangers lost was Roy. Later in 1993 he won 10 straight OTs. Refs were irrelevant. You only win 10 OTs in a single playoff, or 3 Con Smythes all-time, if you are Roy. No one in history will ever have those two records.
#3 of the Rangers got tripped up by the Linesman and then just after Lemieux scored, he lifted his stick up to motion he was going to hit the linesman and then just skated away. The linesman didn't even see that part.
As impressive as Roy is shown in the overtime, this video doesn't really depict just how badly the Rangers outplayed the Canadiens in regulation. Also, if the NHL is serious about increasing goal production, make the goalies wear pads similar to then. Maybe not quite that small, as we don't want injuries, but get them out of the huge padding they wear now.
It’s also the evolution of goaltending techniques. You could tell these two were not as aggressive as they were years later. Johnny b. Never wore oversized padding but he developed a better system, Honestly, neither really looked like they tried much here outside of the OT show Roy put on.
Willie Gỏdon, state to me one name retired a “Canadien” since 1980. That is just bullshit, they didn’t want to pay retire package and health benefits to anyone except for Corey’s gang.
@@aubsta1 After losing game 1 the previous series, Habs rallied to win in OT game 7. Patrick gave up 13 goasl in the series, along with only 1 in game 6 in a 1-0 loss and again only 1 goal in the game 7 OT clincher. The Hartford series was his arrival, the Rangers series confirmed it👍
1986 was the worst year of my life. The only thing that went my way that year was the Canadiens winning the Stanley Cup, and I am eternally grateful to that team.
@@bufnyfan1 Excuse me, but that little faux pas by Smith need not have proven fatal. Gretzky and his hotshot bunch of Oilers had almost 15 minutes of hockey left in regulation in that seventh game to score the one goal they needed to answer it, and they COULDN'T DO IT! Edmonton never had the lead in the series itself, and Calgary took three of the four games on Edmonton ice. Sorry, but you can't blame everything on Steve Smith.
What opera do you listen too--Cole's voice is like running your fingers over a blackboard--makes me cringe-thank God he has retired (more like he was forced out because he wouldn't leave)
What a wild playoffs 86 was..the three big upsets of the Oilers , the Flyers and the Bruins .changed the whole playoff picture ...most people were expecting the Oilers to face either the Flyers or Boston in the finals...still i would have loved to have seen the Oilers and Flyers continue the finals rivalry ..but 87 would more then make up for with easily the best Cup finals of the 80s imo
The 70s dynasty team was gone, but a few pieces remained, Robinson and Gainey. New pieces had come in, Roy, Lemieux, Bobby Smith, Chelios. They were never the dynasty again, but 86 cup, 89 finals, 93 cup...pretty good teams. Lafleur should have still been playing in 86, this should have been his 'last' cup.
They missed it. Video machine stopped past that point, really. The ranger defenseman fanned on the shot. McPhee didn't block it. If he had blocked that wind up and blast from 10 feet or so the puck 1) would have hurt and 2) would have went flying through past the red line and even the rangers blue line. Watch the defensemans stick, you will see the puck bounce a couple of times as it past him. He fanned and that was that. Thanks James
@@GreyZonex exactly since 1977 I've been watching NHL all Stanley Cup champions had excellent Goaltending. Ken Dryden, Billy Smith Grant Fuhr, Patrick Roy and so on💯
@@GreyZonex i agree now matter offence gifted teams were in the 80's they needed the goalie who could make those big stops when it was either a one goal lead or shut the door when they got down by two or three goals ...i think of the oilers in 84 ,87 and 90 or even 06 until Roloson get hurt in game one of the finals...and of course Roy in 86 and 93 ...but of course i digress ..not mentioning goalies from all the other eras as well
This game is remembered for Patrick Roy and even more so for the linesman knocking down James Patrick, preventing him from getting back on Lemieux goal.
What a crock of shit. I watched that game. The Rangers walked off the ice when it was over defeated and demoralized by St Patrick in that game. Like they series was already over. They knew then and there after throwing everything they had at The Second Coming of the Messiah he was simply too good and they were toast.
86 Habs had a tough & talented team...and the Richer goal was a classic Gretzky.... not lucky like the commentators said...Skrudland, Nilan, Gainey, Robinson, Carbo, COrson, KORDIC, LUDWIG, MCFEE,MOMESSO, RICHER, SMITH, TREMBLAY, CHELIOS.... ARE YOU KIDDING, the last CLASSIC HABS TEAM...
Claude has always been one of my favorite Devils. Right up there with 30, 4, 27, 3, 26, MacLean, Sykora, and I could go on. Biggest reason we didn't repeat in 01 besides an injured Niedermayer. I even got Claude's #32 Habs jersey.
I remember this series but what I remember most is that the Rangers had trouble scoring any goals. This video makes it look like that wasn't a problem...but trust me it was lol.
@@bufnyfan1, I was never a fan of Bob Cole, but lots of Leafs fans (most Newfies 🤣 ) love him. I was never a fan of Foster Hewitt from the times I’ve seen OLD Leafs games. He was probably great for radio, though. A unique voice in his own right but not to my taste.
@@elijahrobinson2362 Cole's problem is he wouldn't retire--his play-calling had gotten worse and worse over the years (at the end it was embarrassing)-and even when he left he remained bitter that Rogers/CBC had to literally forced him out
There were signs in this game of a poorly designed system where MTL leaves the points wide open all the time something they do all the time for the past 20 years..The difference however is that Mtl had several legit key role players that can score goals something they have lacked for many years since their 93 cup.IMO perhaps one of the most important aspects of a team is the scouting and manager and in case of late the coaching example Bergeron was a horrible coach. MZTL has had the same lead scout for a very long time and he has not got the job done as well poor management means they keep pushing just hard enough to never truly be a cup contender but also never get a top draft pick. This year looks to be the first in a very long time where they have a chance at the number 1 pick but sadly is there truly a GREAT player to be had at #1 the Crosby or Lemieux or Gretzky type player ...i don't think so.They did do a recent good job of securing draft picks but time has proven 2nd round picks almost never materialize into more than 3rd line players and even first picks need to be top 7/8 at worse. Point being idk man but for us Habs fans it might be a VERY long time before a legit cup contender.I don't count those FAKE years where they had incredible luck to get to the finals because in those years they were never really a good team.
IMO Patrick Roy was a much better goalie before he adopted the butterfly style. Don't get me wrong, he was still stellar after, but he made much more use of his great glove hand in his early years.
Hot damn the goalies in this game sucked! I have never seen Roy or Vaniesbrook so lost, they looked like they went on a drinking binje together before the game. although Roy woke up at the end there
at 5:49 right before the last faceoff, It says Roy made 44 saves on 47 shots, or a 0.936 SV% (He had a 1.92 GAA over the playoffs and won the Conn Smythe)......Yeah, just awful.....Give your head a shake. Having looked it up, Vanbiesbrouck was a slightly more pedestrian 25/29 0.862% in this particular game, but 2 of the goals were breakaways, the last one in OT being a 2-man break due to a blocked shot and a nice takedown by the linesman, and Vanbiesbrouck did have a 2 decade career and won 374 games, so he's probably okay with your "scathing criticism".
its not just the saves roy made its his demeanor he looked so confident even as a 20 year old rookie
He is French so....
Perfect size goalie equipment 🥅🏒
RIP bob...best ever!!!
Bob Cole and Dick Irvin together = magic!!!
*this was an amazing playoff series for Montreal, what a parade, memories of a lifetime*
Bob Cole Forever!!!
Matts naslund was so underrated.
Hands down, Roy's single best performance-wow
I remember this game St Patrick was AWESOME!!!!! GOHABSGO
In almost 45 years of watching the NHL, this is still one of my favorite series!
What a duel between Roy and Beezer.
As an Islander fan u know where I stand but man that 86 Rangers team had a great run and at the time and still till this day, they got hosed in this game on Lemieux goal.
Are you referring to the fact that the linesman got in the way in OT?

That overtime period was the best clutch goaltending I've ever seen. Roy was unbelievable.
yup... ROY was a good goalie. ROY not Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Watch Game 1 1994 vs Canucks. The stupid Rangers got stoned left and right by McLean, too.
@@flagtheoffense Who won that series?
@@robloxeditswithleila Canadians did and they ended up beating Calgary to win the Stanley Cup
@@DAVESLAM That's right; not 'ROO-AAAAAAAAH' to quote the disgruntled, Madison Square mob.
Claude lemieux,,,,, he'll jab you, he'll stab you, he'll spear you, he'll sucker punch you. Then he'll break your heart, to score the winning goal. 🏆
Robinson, two consecutive passes for goals, HOF!!!
In Patrick we trust!!
No surprise that Roy won the Conn Smythe. I sure do miss Bob Cole and Dick Irvin calling games! Especially now when there are none!

I remember this game it was so crazy. the crowd yelled ROOOOYYY ROOOYYY really loud at one point. But it just buid his confidence.
Thanks to the linesman on the OT goal.
The Mets won the World series then the Giants won the super bowl. 1986 was pretty good

this is went Roy really came into his own

@@michelnguyen4819 Bob Gainey .
Patrick Roy became a money goalie in this game especially in the overtime and Claude Lemiuex Love him or hate him he was a clutch playoff performer.
Love the little tap Naslund gave Vanbiesbrouck on the pads on the soft goal he gave up to Richer. Lucky it wasn’t Hextall or something.
00:05:59 Can you imagine that ref collision happening today with social media
And thus the Patrick Roy legend was born.

Remember this game as if it was yesterday. The game that announced the arrival of Patrick Roy.
I was at this game and it was an amazing performance by Roy. However, if Scampinello doesn’t interfere with James Patrick he catches up to Lemieux.
What a game that was. Patrick Roy was so great that playoff run.
The greatest performance from a goaltender Montreal Canadiens Legend Patrick Roy !! GO HABS GO !!
Unreal
Bring back the square this isnhow goalies should play
What a year!

Amazing video quality. Did you save all of your collection to DVD from Beta or SVHS?
best goalie ever
I think the Habs won the Stanley Cup right there...
What if Patrick played like a rookie?
Nice job by linesman taking out James Patrick leaving lemuix all alone
The 70s dynasty team was gone, but a few pieces remained, Robinson and Gainey. New pieces had come in, Roy, Lemieux, Bobby Smith, Chelios. They were never the dynasty again, but 86 cup, 89 finals, 93 cup...pretty good teams. Lafleur should have still been playing in 86, this should have been his 'last' cup.

It proves to you that Goaltending wins Stanley Cups, Patrick Roy💯
Right.. af all cups won, how many were won by average (or crappy) goalies ?
I agree with you.
@@GreyZonex exactly since 1977 I've been watching NHL all Stanley Cup champions had excellent Goaltending. Ken Dryden, Billy Smith
Grant Fuhr, Patrick Roy and so on💯
I agree, but as Guy Lafleur says, it sure helps when your team isn't made up of 1 second line and 3 fourth lines. But what does he know about hockey.
