Assuming that Datsyuk makes the HHOF, that Red Wings team had 10 Hall of Famers
Datsyuk
Shanahan
Fedorov
Hull
Lidstrom
Robitaille
Yzerman
Larionov
Chelios
Hasek
Nathan Snyder Safe assumption : )
Don't forget coached by a hall of famer and one of the greatest coaches of all time in Scotty Bowman.
Datsyuk better make the damn HHoF....
@Kevin Cline The point isn't that every one of those players are career Red Wings HoF. It's that the Red Wings that year had brought together and built an incredible roster of talented players.
"Stacked" is an understatement.
Producer Drew needs his revenge. I’ll take one helping of Vesa Toskala’s 200 foot goal, please and thank you.
To his defense, it was just 197ft...
1 Week later - he got it!
Coeus Darksoul - this one was much more vengeful. Poor Steve.
david ayres would have stopped it
Abisher
The tragedy in this incident gets even worse. Earlier that season, Patrick Roy decided to withdraw from consideration from the 2002 Canadian Olympic team in order to "focus on the NHL playoffs". This play meant that he got neither the Olympics nor the Stanley Cup, while the two guys combining for this goal, Yzerman and Shanahan, got both Olympic Gold AND the Stanley Cup that year.
Colorado: NO YOU CAN'T JUST SCORE 7 GOALS IN GAME 7!😭
Detroit: Haha Goal Horn go Brrrrrrr
Thank you Steve. Wings fans needed that one after this season...
It hurts because it's true
@@SanStripes Yeah this is true. We got spoiled by winning. I started watching hockey in 96 and caught a lot of Wings Blackhawks games and fell in love. Been a wings fan since. With that said... Tor should have a cup very soon. It's like Crosby took longer to get his first than it should have.
@@SanStripes yeah, next season is a wash as well. I feel we will be more competitive next season, but it's hard to be worse. It was an educated guess on the Leafs. I've always respected the Leafs and don't really hate on them like a lot of other Wings fans. You all deserve some good, but know that you WILL have to go through the Bruins like Was had to go through PIT.
Just THIS season....???? Lol
Detroit dead wings
I remember when this happened, my whole family hit the ceiling watching, and then we ran around the house screaming, parents included. One of my favorite childhood memories.
"Gretzky had it, lost it."
To not do this would be a dang-it for you.
Nick Sojka one of my favourite goals of all time
STEVE YZERMAN!!!!!!!!!
Nick Sojka as a blues fan that immediately came to mind when i saw dangle doing all time dang-its
Don't get caught hot dogging guys. Don't get caught dogging either come to think of it.
But think about getting caught dogging because that's the fun of it.
And don't get caught hot! Especially down lacienega, that hood gets toasty...
As a Wings fan who was 13 in 2002, Games 6 and 7 of this series are my two favorite games in sports history. Game 6 was so tense and competitive, and the Statue of Liberty moment was beautiful, but the tension came right back for the remainder of the game. That was also the game where the Avs coach tried to get a 5 on 3 power play by accusing Hasek of having an illegal stick, only to be proven wrong.
So Game 6 was a satisfying, skin-of-the-teeth win against a worthy rival (with two key moments of humiliation for them), and then Game 7 was just a party. By late in the first period, any tension was gone, every Wings fan realized the team was going to the Finals as heavy favorites, and we could just celebrate. I still remember the sarcastic cheers when Roy made a routine save. Plus, with these two games, Hasek tied, then surpassed the record for shutouts in a playoff run.
Thanks for the throwback!
It's crazy to think how stacked Det and the Avs were back then, a time before caps lol.
I am not entirely joking when I say that you could make a wing in the Hockey Hall of Fame out of the rosters of those two teams alone that year. A lot of people note that the Wings will probably have 10 Hall of Famers at the end of the day on that roster, but the Avs have four, and three that at least deserve to be in the conversation in Adam Foote, Chris Drury, and Darius Kasparaitis. That Avs roster was no joke by any stretch. The only way that series wasn't going seven was with a devastating injury to a key player.
Marc Bergevin throwing them puck in his own net
Thanks for the reminder...I guess I drank heavily for 10 years to forget that one for nothing lol. I think that series was the most demoralizing event in my lifetime as a Blues fan. Even worse than letting Hull go. Or Erik Johnson missing an entire year over a golf cart accident and while a competent player still being a huge disappointment for a #1 pick when he came back. Such a tremendous team that year, to this day seeing pictures of Mike Ricci celebrating raises my blood pressure.
What was the butterfly effect of picking Johnson? Obviously letting Toews, Staal, and Backstrom (or even Kessel) go in favor of EJ is a BIG "what if..." Chris Stewart got us...Ryan Miller? That's a rough one... Shattenkirk got us Zach Sanford, eh, I'll call that one "not bad." But thank god they didn't take the 71st pick that year, Brad Marchand. I wouldn't want to live in a world where I cheer for that rat bastard.
Jim I am sorry for uncovering so much trauma. At least you didn’t finish dead last in the league just to have Chicago get the 1st overall pick and then make it to the Cup Finals on a miracle run and lose to an overtime, no angle goal from the player who you should’ve take first overall
Jim the Stewart trade got us Steve Ott.
Additional Dang-it: Bob Hartley asking for Hasek's stick to be examined.
Ahhhhh when the Avs and Wings were the titans of the league... good times. I mean, as a Canucks fan, not good times, but... Good times.
Those first three games of the '02 playoffs were terrifying. As a young Wings fan at the time, that series was my proper introduction to the Canucks, and I've always given them a healthy respect.
It's my belief that that series and that season gave many Wings fans (and possibly many members of the Wings organization as well) the idea that they could just turn it on at a moment's notice. You saw it throughout the '02 season...they went on dominant streaks and the President's Trophy was never in doubt, but then they'd just take three weeks off. Then they'd be right back and lose maybe two games in a month. They entered those playoffs ice-cold, got roughed up by Vancouver at home, then won nine of their next 10 games. A bunch of Detroiters expected something like that to happen again before they got swept by the Ducks the next year, or knocked out by Calgary in '04, or knocked out in the first round in '06 after finishing with 128 points...
I'm certainly not complaining about the '00s Wings, especially not with the current state of Detroit sports. I'm just saying that '02 team was on another level that even other President's Trophy-winning Wings teams with very similar rosters couldn't replicate.
@@TheHeston83 bro we in the east now. get over it. lol. Also kinda love the Avs cause Makar is fun to watch and Kadri this year bro. loving it. be happy for the enemy cause each team made each better and those were fun years. I think you new enemy is Vegas. Also yes. Avs better win it this year since an Yzerman built team won it twice in a row now.
@@bryanbourcier6492 dude none of teams are my enemy idk why i wrote that I watch and subscribed to The Hockey Guy aka he showed me its not all teams have common struggles and successes I applied to that NFL & NBA Sports are fun and shouldn't be taken to seriously they almost ended in 2020 Rivalries are Petty as well blaming the refs for bad calls that are out of control
@@TheHeston83 no worries i was kinda drunk when i responded and probably came off harsh. no hard feelings. our teams used to hate eachother and i used to hate avs fans. buy ya a beer if i ever see ya. nothing but love.
I don't always feel Schadenfreude, but, when I do, it's often Patrick Roy's misery that I savor.
Honestly the caught hot dogging call is as iconic as the play itself, cant have one without the other
Man, I really miss watching Forsberg play. One of the most dominant players I've ever seen.
I miss watching Super Joe, Foppa, Roy and Footer out there together. Then, even though they were the "hated" rival, seeing the amazing display of talent that the Wings would put on the ice that seemingly went 400 lines deep. Those were great times.
This has to be my all-time favorite dang-it, says every Red Wing, especially myself
I needed that look back. Thank you, that was awesome! Especially loved the "hotdoggin' it" catch in the commentary and the follow up on the what ifs.
"Greatest moment in Roy's career"
I'll say Game 7 was the greatest Moment in his career #LGRW
This game or the 11-1 shellacking he took against the Wings when he was with Montréal back in 1995.
As a Red Wings fan I will never forget this series. After Forsberg scored in overtime in Game 5 Hasek never let in another goal. But I think the MVP of game 6 was the referee. I think it was Kerry Fraser. At least 90% of the time the referee would have just blown his whistle assuming that Roy had the puck. But the referee made a great call and saw the loose puck and let the play continue. And then to game 7 which I always enjoy watching.
This would have been when David Ayers was in his prime!
Ahh! A time when NHL was actually shown live here in the UK on Channel 5 (along side mlb). I miss those days!!
Games at 5 AM ?!?
I think Producer Drew will have his revenge so he’ll probably insist on the Toskala 200ft Failure
Yesssss!!!!!!
Markus Saulle at least the leafs won that game
Nah. Drew is gonna do the Gretzky high stick on Gilmour.
No he won't because he doesn't exist
I was at this game 7. I think everyone in the upper bowl at the Joe was screaming WAAAAAA! so loud we didn't have a voice by the end.
Dude you are awesome. Loved the way you commentate the games. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Love how you describe things and do trade trees. Keep doing where you’re doing.
Colorado and Detroit has to be one the best rivalries of all time
My family comes from a long line of die hard red wings fans who have been rooting for the wings since decades before the Russian five. My grandfather passed away seeing Stevie’s triumphant return to Detroit to commence a proper rebuild, sadly he’ll never see them return to their former glory but he did get to watch Roy chased in game 7, lots of memories from that cup run
The thing is Roy had been doing his "Statue of Liberty" for a while before this game. I told everyone who would listen that showboatin' was going to bite him in the ass. Never thought it was going to be in Game 6. I have never jumped for joy like I did watching Karma kicking in. Gotta hang on to that joy during this debacle of an era for the Wings.
I’d say it was still the most memorable save of his career lol
Classic Dangit: Refs missing the Flames goal on the Sharks Nikolai Kabiboulibioulinounen (sp?) in the 2004 Stanley Cup Final late in game 6 and what that would have been to Calgary... but who's counting.
Thomas Uniat lol that's the Lightning, not the Sharks. Also the goal didn't actually cross the line completely so it wasn't a ref miss. But yes, I wish the Flames had more cups ... :(
@@kylexinye1990 oh yeah, TB. The puck SOOOO crossed the line by over an inch. It doesnt even look close.
I love the context of why this is such a dangit is explained in such detial. Keep up the great work!
Detroit seemed to have a thing for chasing Roy out of nets.
They also chased him out of a team hahah
@@mickaellatulippe4134 Which probably ended up hurting the Wings in the long run.
Thank you, Steve, for keeping us entertained during the quarantine. Waiting on Marc Bergevin's own goal against San Jose.
It's not a hand pass if it's to your own net, right?
This does put a smile on my face
Scott foster would have stopped that
David Ares would’ve stopped that as well
NYRGaming30 David ares didn’t get a shutout
@@andrewweinerman3628 at least he got credited with the W 😂
Well he stopped it, just dropped it.
I remember being such a biased Avs fan in my youth. I must have either 14 or 15 at that time. I was so insistent that Roy raised his arm because the ref was slow to blow the whistle and he wanted to show the ref he had it.
That's exactly what happened
I like this serie, I got into hockey quite recently (2017) and I don't know historic moments of the league. Even if playoffs are still fire nowadays, it is good to see how it looked like before.
To be fair, Hasek was a monster in this game, Avs would've probably lost this game anyway.
Minnesota retired Patrick Roy twice hilariously. First in 2003 then again when he was coaching the avalanche and the Wild beat the avalanche in overtime with a goal by Granlund.
Your videos are fantastic. Thanks for the amazing content!
I’m remember that series well. Colorado has all the momentum in that series up until that goal . Everyone watching immediately felt the change in momentum.
Not only did the Wings drop the first two against Vancouver, they went winless in April to end the regular season. The message boards were HYPE about their level of choking.
But that Game 7.... my god did I love that game. I'm glad we won the Cup that year, but that game was THE game.
Btw Steve, I don't believe shootouts came into the league until 2005-2006 so yeah.. *you're right*
2:55 Federov was also a beast defensively...
Love your vids and book dangles, but this is your best work yet!
I miss hockey, but I miss Steve almost as much. Thanks for doing this one!
Strange thing - I know all the things, that you telling about, but! the way you talk about it with all the prehistory makes you once again experience it like the first time! Kepp on going, Steve!
The thing I don't get about all the analysis on this play is that everyone says he dropped it. He didn't drop it, he just never had it. The puck wasn't in his glove at all during this play. He had it covered with his blocker hand/stick. I'm pretty sure he nudges the puck toward the net with his pad when he lifts his glove.
So Sportsnet, you're using a lot of footage from awood40, including some of his edits like when he shows teams records. I don't see any credit given to him in the video or description.
detroit in the western conference... dang i miss that
“Patrick Roy just got caught hot dogging. He was gonna give him the how do you do and he dropped it!”
I wish hockey commentators still talked liked that.
Looking back,the Redwings/Avs were really,REALLY stacked teams .. those were the good times.
that Red Wings team was so stacked, Sean Avery only got to play 36 games!
The first dang it was karma. Patrick Roy has a HUGE ego and that was something he would sometimes do, the BRAGGING. And he finally paid for it.
His temper made him wins waaaaaayy more often than lose. I was there. I saw it. I remember.
I will always look back fondly on this play.
Forsberg sat out the entire 2001/02 season. Came for playoffs & lead it in points. Next season wins Hart & Art.
Patrick Roy's atleticsm, amazing
Patrick Roy's personality, bleaaaaaah
As an Avs fan, I remember 8:11 being our lucky break on an offside call. Unfortunately we weren't so lucky with playoff offside calls in 2019...
Recently subscribed! Enjoying your channel👍 Go AVALANCHE!
I’ll be honest, I never realized that Roy’s butterfinger blunder happened in the conference final.
To clarify, he didn't drop the puck when he raised his hand, the puck was in and out of his glove from the start and he didn't realize it. If you see the camera view from the side, you can see it a lot better.
His teammate hit his glove with the stick
No one:
Me: (watching this play) *PATRICK ROY JUST GOT CAUGHT HOT DOGGING*
the game 7 goals against Roy: honestly my opinion is you can't really blame him for letting the goals in, the Red Wings were all over the Avs who honestly looked done. Perhaps they were too tired from going the distance in the previous series but the Wings absolutely dominated them in game 7. The defense were beginning to lack energy and began to stand around as the game went on.1st period: 1st goal is deflected, 2nd goal Roy gets a piece of it (maybe should have had that one ), 3rd goal Wings cycling and Robitaille is point blank in the slot, 4th goal Roy saved it the rebound goes to a Wing who buries it...if the Avs D has more energy maybe they get the rebound?2nd period: 5th goal Brett Hull point blank in the slot scores with a screen in front, 6th goal Wings powerplay perfect shot top corner above the glove side after a cross ice pass.Great dominating performance by the Wings.
It's not one play, but I think that Mario Tremblay's handling of Roy in what would be his last game in Montreal should be up there. There was no reason to leave Roy in for 9 goals against, and it ended up screwing Montreal
I did not realize just how many crazy stars were on that Detroit team. I'm floored
McCarty would still have scored in Game 6 given Detroit a 1-0 Win then Colorado comes to The Joe to get smacked like they did in Game 7
#LGRW
This was a fun reminder of the glory days for both Red Wings and Colorado. Funiest part of this vidio was the comment about how did the Avs get three power plays in a row (in a 1-0 playoff game)! "What did they have KNIVES?"
LoL
Marc Bergevin hilariously throwing the puck in his own net
Is it possible, that we can see a Steve classic hat picks? I would love to see something from like the 2009 Penguins cup run, the final second Fleury save in Game 7 or the save on the goal-line kick save in Game 6 would be awesome
Game 4 of the 1988 Stanley Cup Final in the Boston Garden... aaaaand the lights go out. That's a Dang It!
Grew up in Raleigh; That '02 squad was special, but even during the series, there was a consensus in the area that the Canes were playing with house money against the most stacked Red Wings team in history. At least we have '06.
This was more like an SB Nation Rewind episode than a dang it episode but I'm into it. Deep dives are nice
One of my favorite childhood memories. Several against the av s actually
Patrick Roy was caught winking at Tomas Sandstrom in the 93 finals after a big save... and then there was the time he carried the puck and dangled by Gretzky past center ice... he loved showing off when he thought he could. In his mind he's thinking, "oh yeah, let's one up Stevie Y"
The next Dang-Its should be : 1) Chris Phillips own goal in game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in ‘07 vs Anaheim. 2)Jonathan Quick fail in game 1 in the 1st round vs the Blues in 2013. 3) Dan Boyle own goal in game 1 in 2010 vs Colorado.These are my suggestions
I wouldn't say the Wings "demolished" Carolina in the '02 finals ... a better example would be the '97 finals. THAT was a one-sided ass kicking.
You want an all time dangit? That first round Vancouver Detroit series.. You forgot to mention Cloutiers major Dangit.. Up 2-0 in the series after 2 wins in Detroit... Then Lidstrom shoots and scores from center... And the series essentially ended right there, as did Cloutiers career
I needed this as a Wings’ fan.
This made me cry the first time and still makes me cry again
I still remember the game seven happening, I was in elementary school at an event and one of the teachers would come and announce each wings goal in the 7-0 win
You forgot to mention the failed stick measurement during that game 6. That could have been a dang it
These two games showed why I think Dominik Hasek was a better goalie and player that Roy. While Roy was busy costing his team game 6 and getting lit up in game 7, Hasek was quietly getting back-to-back shutouts against the reigning Stanley Cup Champions. No ego. No cockiness. Pure talent.
Super late reply but
1.) Hasek was cocky too, just not as outwardly. You had to be cocky to be a goalie that good under pressure.
2.) Two games doesn't make much of a statement of who was better - You could take any two games from the 1993 stanley cup playoffs and you'd think Roy was the best goalie to ever play by a country mile.
3.) I do agree with Hasek being the greater goalie overall, but man is it close. If you went by "who stole more games for their team" Roy and Hasek would be by far heads and shoulders above the rest
The thing about iconic plays is that it could go both ways... Had he not fumble the save it would be seen as one of the best saves of all time... Conversely, if his famous wink led to that guy scoring on him to win or if JR- and his Blackhawks- silenced his "Ring in ear"- press conference- by winning the playoff series, then those would be seen- too- as some of the all-time "Dang-Its"...
But what makes Roy great is that he wasn't afraid of seizing the moment by risking it all, and he came out victorious- more times than not- with some of the most iconic plays and moments in sports history...
So we can forgive the odd blunder as that is par of the path to greatness, and it doesn't diminish his place as one of the best, and the most clutch goaltender in history...
That, and he still has his 4 rings...
So, shove them up your- you know what!
Lol, what a coincidence. I was just watching Game 6 of this series today.
The thing is, in todays NHL, thats not a goal, because the ref "meant to blow the whistle" before the puck was dropped...
4:43, it was Dan Cloutier's Dang-it that woke up the beast!!
Do Gretzky's high stick on Dougy G in the 1993 conference final
Patrick Roy's last game with the Habs should be an interesting dang it! That rift with Mario Tremblay goes way back before that game! Also Mario Tremblay was one of the coaches for the Wild in Roy's last career game...
Chris Osgood's outlet pass in game 7 vs. San Jose in his rookie year
Lol at Hasek skating down to the other net to just trip......:D
Steve: this will cause my avalanche fan of a friend excruciating pain
Me. A sharks fan: you have much to learn
16:12 The following 12 seconds is my favorite chunk of Dang-Its history. All hail Bruno!
My fave all time Patrick Roy moment! Loved loved loved my 2002 red wings!
This behaviour is continuity from 93, showing us what Tremblay saw that he was trying to "tame" or whatever on that night.
Love this video and the history around it.
But if we're gonna talk about Patrick Roy helping the 2002 Red Wings win the Cup, then we HAVE to talk about Dan Cloutier helping the 2002 Red Wings win the Stanley Cup.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO GET 3 CONSECUTIVE POWER PLAYS IN THE EARLY 2000s? IN ONE PERIOD?! IN ONE PERIOD IN 2002??! WERE THEY CARRYING KNIVES?!?"
lmao
The stick-measuring debacle in that Game 6 deserved a mention here.
Had always respected Roy's talent, but by the time of this game, I was sick of his smugness. So this spectacular moment will meet with a smile each and every time. Thanks Steve!
ua-cam.com/video/NaiN8HjEy74/v-deo.html
What do you mean smug?
@@mendelsonja Ha!
That same year (I think) Dan Cloutier got scored on from centre ice in game 3 vs. the Wings. The series turned after that. And there's Salo at the Olympics for Sweden.
