Yup, Fetisov was 38, and that "young kid coming up, Konstantinov" was 31.
Yzerman was just laying pipe everywhere that year
I think the 1996 playoffs loss was nowhere hear as hard to take for Detroit compared to the 0-4 Finals sweep at the hands of the Devils in 1995.
Oh god, does this mean the Bruins are gonna win the cup this year? Cause I can't stand the idea of this being the year of Boston winning the super bowl, world series, and possibly the cup.
You need to do the 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins. Best team in franchise history that were ousted in round 2 by the underdog New York Islanders.
you should talk about players with most stanley cups
Game 5 of the 1st round series was the last playoffs win for the Jets until last season
I think it was Bowman who pushed for them to trade both Ciccarelli and Coffey. If I remember correctly, Bowman was never happy with Coffey's stamina or defensive play, and he felt that Ciccarelli took too many needless penalties at inopportune times. It's funny how the Wings thought they already had all the key pieces in place when they hired Scotty in 1993, but he very much remade that team in his image. Depth of scoring, speedy centers, big punishing wingers, and a team where everybody could backcheck, break up passes, and block shots. He wanted it and he got it.
Good call about Fetisov. He was at the end of his career, but he was still crucial on the penalty kill and he could run a breakout play like nobody else. I think that if you look at what he did from the late '70s up through the early '90s, Slava has to be in the discussions for both the greatest Russian hockey player ever and one of the greatest defensemen ever.
Apocryphal storytimes:
-Fedorov didn't complain about being on the point, but his father sure did.
-Bowman allegedly said Fedorov could easily start racking up Norris trophies if he kept him on defense.
-Fetisov was on this roster with Mike Ramsay, whom he played against in a rather notable olympic matchup in 1980.
Can't wait for the 2009–10 Washington Capitals video
awesome video love it keep up the good work
Do you think that picking up Shanahan was the final piece that the Red Wings needed to get the Cup? Although they had to move out some players off of that great 95-96 team to get him, he sure seemed to add a little something extra to the team, especially in the playoffs.
The Red Wings won the Cup a year later (at the Flyers' expense) because they elected to get tougher by adding Brendan Shanahan (who obviously was also skilled), but they also lucked out in getting Larry Murphy from Toronto.
Paul Coffey began to decline offensively after 95-96 (as the Flyers found out) and he was never defensively sound so he increasingly became a liability, whereas Larry Murphy still contributed 45 to 50 points a year and was defensively sound enough to play with Niklas Lidstrom on the first defensive unit.
Yes, the Red Wings traded Paul Coffey, Keith Primeau and let Ciccarelli sign with the Lightning, but they GAINED two future Hall of Famers (Shanahan & Murphy) for 96-97.
I'm pretty sure that was the year that Yzerman scored the goal from the blueline.
Dude… You have a cat? Yuck
As I mentioned in a previous video, I think the reason the Wings set the record for wins was mainly because they were totally enraged over being swept by the New Jersey Devils in the 95 finals. I also mentioned that the reason I think the Wings didn't win the cup in 96 was because they probably tired themselves out by winning all those games. Once the playoffs arrived, they were so fatigued that the inevitable was likely to happen again. Even so, I think the reason the Wings started 'only' .500 through the first month of the season was because the team was trying to fine-tune things (I don't think the trade rumors involving Yzerman had anything to do with their "bad" start to the season). Even in 95-96 they still had a lot of players who helped them mess up in the 1995 finals against New Jersey (e.g. Paul Coffey, who seemed to be the goat for many of their playoff losses in both seasons). Still, their loss to Colorado angered them even more to the point that they finally wanted to get the job done and win a Stanley Cup (which they eventually did in 97 and 98).
Just my 2 cents. I think your idea of 2 video series'. 1 for great seasons by teams no cup 2 worst seasons in general. would be fun and I would watch.
I was at that Blues game, I was 9 and it was incredible
I fully expected a “the career of Bobby Orr”, only time I’ve questioned Shannon.
Who's here after the bruins broke it
