Do you have any idea who your talking about. Those announcers have called games back when you were still trying to figure out if you like men or not. We all have our answer. Good choice for you.
@@dominickgrimaldi6352 Boston announcers were/are garbage. Sanderson used to do the same stuff and if Boston could have fought their way out of a paper bag they'd have been singing a different tune.
Damn, Chris Nilan, Lyndon Byers, Cam Neely and Glen Featherstone were all out of the Bruins' lineup for this match. This brawl would've REALLY been something if they were all dressed, 8D
"I hope Pitt plays Detroit in the finals, so you can see how much they've improved." In last years finals, PIttsbugh didn't score their first goal until game 3. For their sake, I hope they have improved.
I totally agree with you. I am a diehard canucks fan who also loves watching anything to deal with hockey especially on youtube. But the sad thing is the comments. All I hear and read is "canucks suck, my team is better" and "why you guys making canucks videos?" and all I want to say is...why are you watching canucks videos in the first place?" I wish people just respects other fans teams and keep the comments to themselves!
No no no, we were talking Wings/Bruins. And there you lose up down, and sideways. I WIN! LMAO. Once again, how does a #1 seed lose a game 7 at home to a #6 seed. Shocking. And, im loving every minute of it. In fact, I thought of you first as I watched the Canes get that OT goal. Beautiful man, beautiful.
its ridiculous how big the shoulder pads are nowadays, goalie pads too. i'd kinda like to see some games with the origonal small pads. make things alot more interesting.
Yeah, Bettman and those right winged moronic NHL governors ruined the game by listening to those whiny crybabies who hates hitting and fighting trying to sissify the sport. Bunch of sissies. They even let Rogers steal Hockey Night In Canada production away from CBC.
Fred Cusak the announcer & Derek Sanderson the comentator. Sanderson was a Goon for the B's back in the early 70's, most famous for feeding the pass to Bobby Orr to win the cup. ( Orr flying through the air ) Bias.. you bet! both announcers were great through the 80's & early 90's too bad the B's never amounted to anything. ( still haven't ) great video.
Nobody better then Fred Cusick.. what an old time fight..even though its not old old game..but my old Bruins were good back then..beathing Detroit and no big deal:)
No, I believe they do help with hand/eye coordination. Maybe not in a metaphysical sense but they certainly allow for a more confident approach to sports. Hence, a being in the zone type feeling that heightens awareness. I remember while taking them being able to do many things better, from shooting baskets better to hitting racquetballs off the glass more accurately. They add a certain amount of confidence that cant be explained chemically (as far as I know)
Yeah, that's why he has respect throughout the league, and was a captain for over 20 years, and is considered one of the greatest captains of all time, as well as one of the greatest ambassadors of the game too. Enjoy the basement of the Northeast Division
For example since the 1996-1997 season till today the league has had 3 teams score more than 300 goals in a season. 3 teams people, in well over a decade. During the 1988-89 season their were 10 teams that had over 300 goals and several more that were very close. To compare offensive stats of a defenseman from that era to this era is completely unfair as the league produced hundreds more goals and assists then. Even the best defensive players now struggle to get a +30 in this era.
The commentators try to say Kostintinov got his ass kicked when he is the one who knocked out his opponent. They also say Yzerman started it, and Probert got beat.
GO YZERMAN!!! One of the greatest to ever play the game! Maybe the Wings lost that game... But, where are the Bruins now? HUH!?! lol... GO WINGS! 16 straight years in the playoffs! WOO!
@wingnut9090 That's part of the reason why so many players today are getting their bells rung - too much hardened plastic in these bulky shoulder/elbow pads being worn today.
P.S, Ortiz will NOT get back to old form. Most of the top players are struggling so far this season. It's obvious that they have gotten scared and all got off the juice. Now that Manny got a 50 game pop and constant screening till the end of his career you can bet it's lonely being a HGH dealer these days in the MLB.
"You obviously didn't watch the playoffs if you think Chara looked disinterested in the playoffs. He put more hits on Staal in the series than Lidstrom has thrown in his career!" Staal had what, 4 goals in that series. Not bad, considering they were facing a #1 seed. Compare that to the 5 goals he had in the 7 game series against NJD and the zero goals he's had so far in the Pitt series and I'd say that holding him to 4 goals is nothing to brag about.
Of course the announcers are homers, Sanderson WAS A BRUIN during his career. That's what made sports great then, listening to your home town team being covered by fans and not just objective onlookers. Most, Heinsohn, Sanderson, etc.
and none of these players suck, if you make the NHL your an awesome hockey player, datsuk is amazing, hossa, franzen, zetterberg, lidstrom,ozzy, rafalski, conklin , great team in detroit for years to come, watch and see!!
You know, it really sucks to that the league is so desperate for someone else to win the Norris that they look for any reason not to give it to Lidstrom. I mean, he's gonna lose it to either Chara or Green and that's friggin sad. I know it's awarded over the regular season, but we all know the best Dmen are made in the playoffs. And right now Green and Chara are no better than Pronger at his worst.
"When you can put Staphane Yelle and PJ Axelsson on your 4th line-2 of the games best defensive forwards" No, actually several of the games best defensive forwards play for Detroit. Which is why they win Selke's. Let's not forget our 4th line Center (Draper) has won a Selke (unlike yours), as has 1st line Center Datsyuk, and of course Zetterberg is one of the best two-way players in the World..
"Never seen anything like that"?????? If that guy had been doing Boston announcing for over 40 years, and never saw that with "The Big Bad Bruins" he is a damn lier!
"18 must seem great...but let me know when you get to 28. Not only did Boston have 28 straight playoff appearances", Oh dear, we ain't talking bout the 60's 70's when 90% off all teams made the playoffs. Try going 18 straight (an still going) in modern times with 30 teams.. "The only thing Detroit has is" Everything..Let's not forget Stanley Cup rings and experience, something Boston doesnt have.
You can't find a sportswriter who wouldn't put Lidstrom at #3 right now. You can't, and he's still got several years left in him. He would make the Hall on his international career alone. Add that to the fact his playoff career is amazing and it's easy. Yeah, Bourque had nice offensive stats (everyone did during those years) but as a Defensman, it's no contest. Like I said, find someone outside Boston who thinks Lidstrom is #4 and not #3.
It's kind of funny how the annouoncer gets all excited when Probert threw a punch at that Bruin player. "OHHHH!!! he threw a punch and flatten a Bruin!"
I love how he trys to make it sound like Konstintinov got his ass kicked, when the guy he fought was laying on the ice when the fight was over! This old commentator is blind!
But that's only this year and even then Anaheim was one of the toughest #8 seeds ever and everyone knows it. For the last decade, Detroit had to scrape thru and sometimes lose to Edmonton, Anaheim, Calgary, Avs and Dallas who all went on to win cups. So, by your definition, Detroit should have far more Cups.
It was the bruins network what did you expect. Try to find it on the Detroit tampon station. You’ll hear the same thing. How they want Yerzermans hog in their throat.
Lol, there you go with Melrose again. He was a player in the Wings system and the Wings dissed him years ago. He thinks he should have been Ken Holland and takes any opportunity to talk smack on the Wings (albeit he's laid-off this season). Once again, I've only heard the consensus that Lidstrom is #3rd best right now and may end up #2nd best before he retires. If you feel Bourque is better, that's your opinion and I know that it's a minority one at that.
How can you pick Chara and Green as favorites for the Norris trophy over Lidstrom? Lidstrom is the best defense the game has ever seen. East is definitely getting better, without doubt. But you really can't say that they're better than the West. San Jose only lost first round to the 8th seeded team mainly because of the absence of some of their top stars. Sharks, Ducks and Blackhawks all could have dropped the Pens, Caps, or Hurricanes.
"You've had the easiest road to the cup I've ever seen, playing a 7, 8, and 3 seed in an inferior conference"! Come on now...you're better than this. The 8th seed they faced was a Cup winner 2 seasons ago and crushed the best team in the league. Inferior conference!!! ehh, not so sure bout all that. I mean, if it wasn't for NJ would the East have won a Cup in the last 15 years? What are you taking about Detroits record against?? We beat Pittsburgh one season ago! Terrible argument.
Bwahaahahahaha the Lions. Talk about getting desperate. Look man, you are gonna have to find another outlet. Burress caught the ball, Garnet didn't deliver and "we want it", turned into, "we want it as long as it's not too hard". Yep, you have a great decade, and now that's over. The Tigers are in 1st place right now and should challenge all year. Who cares about Willis, he was a throw-in for Cabrera (who's probably the top hitter in the AL). Also, we don't go 100 years in between titles.
"But the emergence and growth of the 3 best players in the game now (Ovechkin, Crosby, and Malkin) and the 2 favorites for the Norris (Chara and Green) and the best goaltender is Thomas (statistically), shows that the east is now tougher." That was your statement. Not quite the version you just gave us. You're saying they have the better forwards, goaltender, and dman (all easily debateable) and you never mentioned the West getting older (are they?).
That and the fact that Konstantinov and Lazaro weren't the first two too fight. Infact it shows Moog then goes too the fight. You see a Lazaro skating into a Ref then him and Konstantinov fight. He actually went after Konstantinov. I thought Mickey Redman was horrible but atleast when a Wing loses a fight he acknowledge's the fact that they lost. "The Goaltenders are in this one Moog and Cheveldae. The were just there trying too break shit up. Not even looking like they were going too fight.
"You've had the easiest road to the cup I've ever seen" You have no idea how silly his sounds coming from a fan of a #1 seed who just lost to a #6 seed at home. I'm drowning in the irony of it all.
Stanley Cup Champions versus bounced in the first round by an expansion franchise. Glory days, they all pass you by, glory days...I hope when I get older I don't sit around thinking about those... Glory days, they all pass you by, glory days... Nah, you're not pathetic. Sitting in the dark drinking alone tonight thinking about your high school days?
Lidstrom has never needed to hit. He takes the puck away from players. Look at 02 when had Betuzzi and Laraque, did they overpower him? Answer: no he onwed them up and down the ice. Big or small, strong, fast, weak, shifty, fighter, it doesn;t matter. Lidstrom makes top forwards disappear in the playoffs. Please see Rick Nash and a dozen others.
Nah, he's the best. Next to him is Larry Murphy. Bobby Orr was an offensive Dman, and can't play back nearly as well as Lidstrom. Ray Bourque? You kidding me? Top 10 at best. But Lidstrom is #1. Passing goes to Lidstrom, accuracy of shot is Lid's, breaking up odd man rushes would go to Lid's as well. Lidstrom would but up a high amount of goals as well if he played on a shitty team. But he has everyone on the ice with him capable of putting the puck in the back of the net.
Plus, the 80's were a score a minute league and until the mid 90's it remained. I mean 50 goals was far more common then. The league screwed themselves with this trap crap, neutral zone drag, left wing lock nonsense and let the goalies look like it was Halloween. We get maybe 1 50 goal scorer a year now. You trying to tell me Ovechkin couldn't get 70 goals in the 80's and 90's.. It's basically impossible to get a +124 in Lidstroms era as the best teams can't outscore other teams that much.
I's a dumb argument. Detroit has won 4 outta of the last 12 Cups and are probably the strongest team they have had of any of those right now. Boston had a really really good regular season. To crown Boston camps is flat out absurd. Mason is (will be) the Calder winnner and a Vezina candidate and we saw how Detroit just wrecked him. Chara might...might win the Norris (Lidstrom has won 6 and should have 8 or 9 in actuality) your match-ups don't scare me at all.
What aren't you getting here man? The title is won in June, not January. If teams like Edmonton, Calgary, Anaheim, and Detroit were such patsies they wouldn't win Cups. As far as he Canes improving over the season..look at Anaheim. They were like the 16th seed at one point. This is beyond stretching to make a point (which you don't have). That must be why The Bruins can't win anything, they think the Cup is won in November, lol.
"Wow, after that game 7 we just saw you are the last person I expected to hear from" I was actually talking about the Bruins, but we can go ahead and add the Celtics to it also. Guess Boston can't win game 7's at home regardless of the sport. Seriously..who loses by 20 friggin points at home in a Game 7 when you are the favorite. I like how you wait till your teams are out to vent and attack. Pathetic.
"Detroit has set hockey back thirty years!" Ummm... Detroit has set the bar for hockey since this year. 3 Cups...and counting, 6 Presidents Trophies...and counting, 8 100+ point seasons...and counting, 17 consecutive playoffs...and counting
What the hell got into Probert? This thing was over. In the old days, Wensink, O'Reilly, Secorod and Miller wouldn't have pulverized that drugged out thug
As much as I hate Bahston (eat it, sox fan, j/k bro, friendly rivalry), I have to agree. I used to fear for my life going to Tiger stadium. And that's with Yankee Stadium in the Bronx! Detroit is nothing compared to Beantown as a sport city. Beantown vs. Motor City, no contest. Bahston wins!!
I thought that the Sharks had the worst announcers of all time. Nope. These clowns are. Yzerman started it?!? This is criminal? Oh Lord. And I wouldn't say that getting your ass handed to you by Probert constitutes a good night.
Boston always had the biggest homer announcers. Sanderson was a joke. I mean, Quintal was hangin on for his life against Probert (who can blame him) but the cheesy announcers first say the linesman had a hold of Quintal and then says at then end.. now he's got Probert down.... give me a break. Probert would have destroyed any Bruin.
Wow, after that game 7 we just saw you are the last person I expected to hear from. If you wanna put the Bruins history up against the Red Wings, that's your business, but the facts would state otherwise. I'm just not that impressed. I mea look how many 100 point plus seasons the Wings have had, the Cups, the division titles, etc. Boston has been a slighty over 500 teams since its inception (minus Bobby Orr being drafted at 14, which was a gift from the league).
That locker room set up was fucked in the old gaden ! Visitors came out by the Bruins bench and Bruins under that cheap ass scoreboard made absolutely no sense whatsoever!
Ouch, when you lose two home game 7's in two sports in one week I would be looking to compare Hockey to basketball as well.....WTF. The league gave them their rebound title, now its over.
Watching this again, and "This is criminal." jumped out at me. STFU, dude. This is HOCKEY, not a Sunday social.
+storyofcory The game was over.
Do you have any idea who your talking about. Those announcers have called games back when you were still trying to figure out if you like men or not. We all have our answer. Good choice for you.

Glory days, they all pass you by, glory days...
Nah, you're not pathetic. Sitting in the dark drinking alone tonight thinking about your high school days?
@mateo51790 Tough Luck?? I guess the lions have tough luck too, right?! Detroit does suck, but the wings rule!
Lidstrom has never needed to hit. He takes the puck away from players. Look at 02 when had Betuzzi and Laraque, did they overpower him? Answer: no he onwed them up and down the ice. Big or small, strong, fast, weak, shifty, fighter, it doesn;t matter. Lidstrom makes top forwards disappear in the playoffs. Please see Rick Nash and a dozen others.
Nah, he's the best. Next to him is Larry Murphy. Bobby Orr was an offensive Dman, and can't play back nearly as well as Lidstrom. Ray Bourque? You kidding me? Top 10 at best. But Lidstrom is #1. Passing goes to Lidstrom, accuracy of shot is Lid's, breaking up odd man rushes would go to Lid's as well. Lidstrom would but up a high amount of goals as well if he played on a shitty team. But he has everyone on the ice with him capable of putting the puck in the back of the net.
"Detroit set hockey back 30 years". Worst piece of announcing I have ever seen.
Plus, the 80's were a score a minute league and until the mid 90's it remained. I mean 50 goals was far more common then. The league screwed themselves with this trap crap, neutral zone drag, left wing lock nonsense and let the goalies look like it was Halloween. We get maybe 1 50 goal scorer a year now. You trying to tell me Ovechkin couldn't get 70 goals in the 80's and 90's.. It's basically impossible to get a +124 in Lidstroms era as the best teams can't outscore other teams that much.
Top 2 teams of the entire league were in the West. West is by far better than the East.
I's a dumb argument. Detroit has won 4 outta of the last 12 Cups and are probably the strongest team they have had of any of those right now. Boston had a really really good regular season. To crown Boston camps is flat out absurd. Mason is (will be) the Calder winnner and a Vezina candidate and we saw how Detroit just wrecked him. Chara might...might win the Norris (Lidstrom has won 6 and should have 8 or 9 in actuality) your match-ups don't scare me at all.
What aren't you getting here man? The title is won in June, not January. If teams like Edmonton, Calgary, Anaheim, and Detroit were such patsies they wouldn't win Cups. As far as he Canes improving over the season..look at Anaheim. They were like the 16th seed at one point. This is beyond stretching to make a point (which you don't have). That must be why The Bruins can't win anything, they think the Cup is won in November, lol.
When was the last time Boston won the cup?
It's only a "cheap shot" when the Red Wings do it. When anyone else does it it's a "clean hit".
"Wow, after that game 7 we just saw you are the last person I expected to hear from"
I was actually talking about the Bruins, but we can go ahead and add the Celtics to it also. Guess Boston can't win game 7's at home regardless of the sport. Seriously..who loses by 20 friggin points at home in a Game 7 when you are the favorite. I like how you wait till your teams are out to vent and attack. Pathetic.
"9 champioinships in our lifetime to 8 for you, and 19 finals to 12!"
Only a Boston fan would brag about the Finals they have lost.
Those have to be the biggest homer commentators I have ever heard.
these two commentators... jesus christ..
"Detroit has set hockey back thirty years!"
Ummm... Detroit has set the bar for hockey since this year. 3 Cups...and counting, 6 Presidents Trophies...and counting, 8 100+ point seasons...and counting, 17 consecutive playoffs...and counting
I see where Jack Edwards got his style.
What the hell got into Probert? This thing was over. In the old days, Wensink, O'Reilly, Secorod and Miller wouldn't have pulverized that drugged out thug
As much as I hate Bahston (eat it, sox fan, j/k bro, friendly rivalry), I have to agree. I used to fear for my life going to Tiger stadium. And that's with Yankee Stadium in the Bronx! Detroit is nothing compared to Beantown as a sport city. Beantown vs. Motor City, no contest. Bahston wins!!
I thought that the Sharks had the worst announcers of all time. Nope. These clowns are. Yzerman started it?!? This is criminal? Oh Lord. And I wouldn't say that getting your ass handed to you by Probert constitutes a good night.
Boston always had the biggest homer announcers. Sanderson was a joke. I mean, Quintal was hangin on for his life against Probert (who can blame him) but the cheesy announcers first say the linesman had a hold of Quintal and then says at then end.. now he's got Probert down.... give me a break. Probert would have destroyed any Bruin.
@Gameover72089 that wasnt from the confrontation with the russian; it was from the cheapshot by COKEHEADbob......
Wow, after that game 7 we just saw you are the last person I expected to hear from. If you wanna put the Bruins history up against the Red Wings, that's your business, but the facts would state otherwise. I'm just not that impressed. I mea look how many 100 point plus seasons the Wings have had, the Cups, the division titles, etc. Boston has been a slighty over 500 teams since its inception (minus Bobby Orr being drafted at 14, which was a gift from the league).
That locker room set up was fucked in the old gaden ! Visitors came out by the Bruins bench and Bruins under that cheap ass scoreboard made absolutely no sense whatsoever!
@PSonak stevie did start it Detroit won the cheap shot fight but the Bruins win 4-1 on the scoreboard in this one, thats all that matters.
When was the last time a eastern confrence team won the stanley cup???? If Boston is the best the east can offer, it's another stanley cup for us!!
Leave it to Boston sports fans to escalate the violence!
How long of suspension did he get?
Quintal did a good job on Probert? He held his own? He put Probert down? Fighting isn't part of the game?
Ever heard wing HOMER announcers Ken Daniels and DICKey Redmond? I would ark what colour the sky was in their world was?? but we alREDy know!
Wings put a ass whipping on these girls. No one messes with the D. No one
Pretty funny. You wrote to someone first on a comment made eight months ago. Nah, you're not a troll.
Ouch, when you lose two home game 7's in two sports in one week I would be looking to compare Hockey to basketball as well.....WTF. The league gave them their rebound title, now its over.
biggest home comment was... "Now he got him down" u should know what i mean
@Showmeyourtitties I think that's why they are Bruins announcers. Red Wings announcers aren't homers? If they're not they should be fired
