This is quickly becoming my favourite channel on YouTube!! Please keep uploading!
Thank you so much! A very entertaining game.
Skinner!!!! Why aren't those Leafs insignias colorfast????
Bunny folded tent and disappeared after this game.
@134.40 penalty shot.
I watched this game live on HNIC and remember it well. Why do I remember it well? Because it was one of the very rare (and possibly the best) positive Leafs highlights that happened in the first half of the 80s.
Miscellaneous observations:
1. Nobody on the Oilers was worse that -2 in a 7-1 loss.
2. Bunny Larocque stood on his head in a 7-1 win.
3. Somehow, the great Salming was a -1 in a 7-1 win. They must have put him on the ice only when Gretzky was on the ice. If so, then a successful game by him considering the fact that #99 scored 92 goals and 2.65 points per game that season.
4. Barry Melrose was a +1 but I don't think I heard his name once.
5. Leafs healthy scratch: Bruce Boudreau
6. Fred Boimistruck – isn't he the guy in Star Trek Lower Decks? lol I wonder if he would have had a career if Ballard wasn't in charge then. The definition of ruining a young defenseman. He was +3 in this game, at least!
7. Messier, Anderson, Coffey, Lowe, Kurri, and Fuhr – all barely acknowledged… because they weren't Messier, Anderson, Coffey, Lowe, Kurri, and Fuhr yet.
8. Bob Cole basically let it slip to the country: "Oh, by the way, Rick Vaive is now the captain of the Leafs". I can't imagine something like that being barely a sidenote in this day and age.
9. Salming still on the tube skates is proof it's not about the gear.
10. The Oilers lost 7-1, but #99 had three points. Not the #99 you are all thinking of even though his first name starts with W. 🙂
