...this is several years old now but IMO, it is still by far the best sports video collection I've ever seen...great editing and great song. (even better with earphones on)

...hard to believe I've been around long enough to have actually witnessed 95% of these iconic moments;

Yankeesince59.........Thank You. WOW.
 
...you're quite welcome lion...and hammer, like I said, listen to it with headphones or earphones if you can.
 
And what a perfect song to sound it off to. Thanks for sharing Ron.
 
Just watched it... great montage for sure.... I would have loved to see the hit Stevens put on Lindros in there too though...
 
My personal favrites aside from the Lindros hit are #9 (Kevyn Adams) and #2 (Paul Kariya) on this list... #4 was impressive in the manner it took Ron Francis to get to the bench

And this is why I love hockey...

...not a hockey fan but Stevens seems to have a knack for nailing people.

I would have thought you loved it for the same reason 99% of the public loved it, (well those that actually still follow it) and that's that even though its basically a black sport & not as popular as it use to be it's still entertaining. But I'm sure you'll agree that Ali was still the best fighter ever.

who?

Just kidding... hated boxing, yet loved hockey (for far more than the fights)... Honestly, I've never seen a single bout Ali or anyone for that matter fought in... don't like MMA, don't like boxing, but the ability of a hockey player has always intrigued me... skating, not running, using a long stick to slide a small puck across a surface which is slippery, trying to get it past the goalies, passing, hitting, it's a combination of many great sports all wrapped up in one...

Sorry Steve but its hard not to get the two sports mixed up. And like I said, some time back they took a poll among hockey fans & asked them what they love most about hockey & 97% of them said the FIGHTS! Talented skaters yes but if it weren't for all the fights (as MOST fans say) no one would watch the damn sport. Now normally I'd finish this post up with something like JMO but the fans don't lie................................97%

I disagree completely... these are FAR different... one is on ice, pucks, passing, skating, etc. the other is two sweaty animals hitting each other in a confined area... one has skill involved, the other is only brute strength...

Was this the brute Ali / fraizer fight or was this the SKILLED hockey game? But hey this is what the fans REALLY love.

Call it Jerry Springer on ice.

JERRY....JERRY.......JERRY........JERRY......................................

So you like boxing but hate hockey??? That makes NO sense... And where are the numbers about fights being the only thing hockey fans like???? Please.... show me... I've never once denied there were fights in hockey, but your comments are absurd!

Actually Steve I'm not a fan of either one. Basically I'm just busting your chops. Very talented skaters but never cared for the sport. Boxing I use to follow 30-40 years ago but much like hockey today the sport is just not what it once was. And that stat I gave is on the level, I forget where but I honestly did read it somewhere a couple of years back. BTW: What is the rules today for hockey after the refs stand around & watch two guys beat the piss out of each other? A five minute penalty? a slap on the wrist or perhaps a dinner date. Or is it FINALLY treated the way real sports are followed with heavy fines & or suspensions? Just curious.

depending on the fight and how many are involved, it could be 5 minute major for fighting, 5 minute for instigating, game misconduct, and depending on the severity, fines/suspensions, but most fights don't get anywhere near that... most are just 5-10 minutes in a box... Hockey has always had fights, always will. Betman was trying to minimize them, but it wasn't working the way he wanted...

So in other words its the only sports where beating the crap out of someone & doing things that have absolutely nothing to do with the sport itself is okay. And where the message to the few kids that actually watch the sport that violence in sports is accepted. Its no surprise to me that hockey rating have gone down as much as they have over the last 10 years or so.

But to each there own.

But MMA (and to a lesser extent, boxing) is ok??? that is even more brutal, and all it is is violence, no skill.... same with WWE... violence... but kids love that stuff... Hockey is a hard game to follow... and not easy to explain...
