- In honor of Bob Cole (June 24, 1933 - April 24, 2024) and Borje Salming (April 17, 1951 - November 24, 2022 ) here is game #3 (April 12th) of the 1986 Norris Division Semi-Finals match between the Leafs and the Blackhawks in its entirety. In 1986 , the Toronto Maple Leafs swept the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round of the playoffs despite finishing 23 games below .500 and having the fourth worst record in franchise history.
I would like to thank the people who uploaded this to TH-cam. This is a great game,
this kind of old broadcast is so much fun to watch
Salming the legend oh how he was loved by us all.. Back when HNIC was great with reporter Dave Hodge and Brian Macfarlane and the great play by play Bob Cole. Oh how I miss Maple Leaf Gardens.
Börje Salming is still a legend here in Sweden...RIP
And he is still a legend here in Toronto. I played a charity baseball game against him in the 80s. What a gentleman with his time and just an all around good guy. Great memories
As a son of a diehard Leafs fan, and a diehard Leafs fan myself we have multiple picture's of Salming up around the house. He was dubbed a king in Toronto, and will be remembered as one here in Canada.
Without a doubt THE most courageous hockey player I ever saw. The amount of punishment he went through as a trailblazer was incredible. He rose above it, and excelled. Inge Hammarstrom as well. A really gifted player as well. Börje will forever be enshrined in every Leafs fan heart that was fortunate enough to see him play. R.I.P. KING BÖRJE! 💐
Я его помню по чемпионату Мира в Москве в 1973!
Уже тогда обратил на себя внимание!
Вошёл в Шестерку лучших игроков турнира!.
Лучшая пара защитников : Сальминг - Гусев!
Из нападающих шведских мне запомнился Дан Седерстрем!!!
Börje Salming ist eine Eishockey-Legende auf der ganzen Welt, auch hier in Tschechien. Nedomansky und Salming gehörten zu den ersten europäischen Spielern, die es in die NHL schafften
Im from Sweden. Salming🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
This videos is a gold mine. I love that the commercials are in too
Middle funger caught on camera at about 57:49
Love how that shot is used as the thumbnail to the video 😂 ( btw it's at 57:58 )
Just have a look at the boards, no ads and nonsense. Good ol' days of hockey.
The best decade for Hockey. I miss those days before the trap and clutching and grabbing that occurred after 1993.
The 90s were good, the play was fast and they had fighting.
If Harold Ballard was still alive, he'd be suing EVERYONE to try to get a cut of everything Maple Leafs on the internet. Plus, he'd trade Austin Matthews for Michael Carcone and $120,000 CDN. The good news is, they'd still be playing at The Gardens.
Thank you for this great broadcast. Do you have any more games you can upload? I hope you do!
Toronto in the playoffs with that record - hilarious.
"sclapers prices were high too, over $100......for a pair"
R.I.P. The true Swedish Maple Leaf!!!!!!!
priceless. what a trip down memory lane. Commercials and all.
I miss those days and that building....you could feel the history of MLG !! Thank you !!
Classic HNIC on CBC Saturday Apr 12, 1986, 8 pm ET
Jesus listen to that crowd
Every announcer today should listen to Bob Cole and learn how to do PLAY BY PLAY. Not talk about silly stuff ignoring 80% of the actual play. ESPN game one the announces didn’t start play by play for 4 minutes into the game. They talked about nothing! I HATE ESPN
Salming was the man in the chuck Norris division 😂
3:01:55 Bob Cole after Courtnall scores, legendary commentating!!! GOOSE BUMPS
Yup, Bob was “pumped up!” The Leafs were a fun team in the mid 80s.
Bolson Molgen at 1:18:13 - I've been searching for that commercial!
I forgot for a second it was best of 5 back then. It wasn’t making sense to me they were celebrating so much and saying at the end it was tbd who they played next. Which was at Louis
Wow fantastic memories of a great time back in Toronto. After 1990s everything started to change for better or worse who knows. But the city of Toronto 1970s and 80s I love is no more.
the Leafs had the 3rd worst record in the NHL that season and made the playoffs while Buffalo was a .500 team (before they gave out points for losing btw) and missed the playoffs.
86 and 87 playoffs were the sole joyous times in an otherwise dark decade.
1986 and 87 an eyelash away from Flames/Leafs and Oilers/Leafs Campbell Conf Final
1986 I think they beat Calgary
@@timburr4453 no they didn’t, Flames went to the finals vs Mtl
THANK YOU so much for sharing this! If you only knew how long I have tried to get a copy of this game. I actually phoned CBC back in 2000 and begged for a copy of it and they said they said they had no archive of it. Even Leafs TV never played this game on "Leaf Classics"
Very glad to hear others are enjoying this upload, thanks for the feedback!
One of the coolest goalie masks ever on the face of Murray Bannerman between the pipes for Chicago.
So great to see a Leaf team dominate a playoff game and win a bunch of fights. Maybe, one day, it could happen again?
I really miss Bob Cole’s play by play. Truly the best.
Cole was an awful Leafs homer.
Danny Gallivan is by far the best ever.
Cole was loved by the Leafs fans because most are from Newfoundland, like Cole.
great screengrab LoL I fell in love with the Leafs this season - go Wendel! go Borje!
57:54 😄
When the game was worth watching
Thanks for posting, I forgot to program the VCR for this game, great to finally get the opportunity to watch it !
hahahahah!!
so much more hitting than todays nhl
Salming is the best defenseman the leaf's have had
Other than Dale Degray.
I agree for sure
Him and tim horton for sure
🇸🇪👍
It’s too bad Salming was on the Leafs because he deserve to win a few Stanley cups
I was at this game with my g/f at the time. I knew little about Toronto (I was 19) and thought it would be an easy walk from Union Station to the Gardens. Didn't realize it was 40 minutes mostly uphill, lol. We barely made it on time but what an incredible atmosphere it was - and the fact the Leafs dominated the much better Hawks was amazing. I remember the tickets were $75 - for decent seats at a playoff game.
That was my first NHL game - last row of the greens with my dad, a neighbor from down the road, and his two sons. I nearly jumped out of my skin when Courtnall scored the first goal. But it's wild to think my first Leafs game was a playoff game. Since 1999 I've seen them play more in other buildings than in their own building.
First hit set the tone! LOL
Amazing. That was my last year playing hockey I think. I was joining the army soon. At that time I had never watched a NHL game. It looks more like the 70ies than the 80ies though 😊
His nickname was 'The Human Tripod ' in the dressing room.
You figure it out...😂
5:31 Míra Fryčer 🙏🏻
May be an unpopular opinion, but the Leafs should bring back those jerseys, at least as an alternate
Nice seeing those old names again
I'm such a fan as .... this week coming up on Crave they are broadcasting a documentary on Borje!!
It’s a docudrama. It’s so good. I lost it at the last episode. What a hero 🥺
While the Leafs of the 80s didn't give us much to cheer about, I remember the playoff runs in '86 and '87 fondly. While both seasons didn't see them have a great regular season, Dan Maloney in '86 and especially John Brophy in '87 had this team playing really well at the right time. They got to game 7 of the second round both seasons. Even going up 3-1 on Detroit in '87. Just didn't go their way. Lots to love about this team- a good top 6 with Clark, Courtnal, Leeman, Thomas, Fergus, and Vaive. Wregget was starting to come into his own in goal too. Then Ballard, as he always did, tore it apart. Vaive and Thomas were shipped off to Chicago the summer of '87and Courtnal was gone the next year. Wregget lost his confidence and they were back at the bottom getting pounded by Detroit in the first round of the '88 playoffs (only making it in on the last day of the season with their 21st victory). So much promise- especially after '87- all gone and they were rebuilding again. So utterly frustrating. I loved this team though...
You forgot Dampouse.
@@mreppen1 Yes, Damphousse was big part of the team in '87, you're right.
As a life long leafs fan, this mid 80s time period is extremely fascinating… had they stuck it out with this core group and not dismantled the team in such a short time, would they have hired fletcher as the gm a few years later ?
In 1987 I was in Las Vegas with my wife and her parents from Alaska visiting us for the first time. we got a great deal from the Flamingo Hotel Cabana’s. I watched the Leafs against Detroit in Round 2 they almost pulled it off.
I assume you say they got pounded by Detroit because the scores of 3 of the losses were lopsided. But it did go 6 games which was better longer than most would have thought the series would go
Why The Leafs traded Russ Courtnall (for Habs John Kordic of all players) is still mystery to me ...he was worth a at least a Mike Mcphee ..or then rookie Claude Lemiuex (which would have been a huge steal for the Leafs) ANYBODY but John Kordic
As bad as they might have been, these guys were my heroes growing up.
Hawks finished 29 pts ahead of Toronto
Toronto had just 57 pts and came within an eyelash of the Campbell Conference Finals
That was just one BAD Toronto team in the regular season. They had the third worst record in the league, but made the playoffs on account of the system that had the top four finishers in each division qualify. Only Detroit and L.A. were worse.
@@TN-we3ztDetroit was one of the worst ever. 414 goals allowed, 266 scored.
think Pulford secretly wanted the Leafs to win?
Awesome! Any more Leafs games from over the years?
I think so yes... will continue posting games I find!
@@thescottfamilyarchives and can you send me a list of your stuff as well please and do you have any more sports? also I didn't know Salming had passed until I saw this video, RIP a Leafs legend
@@knicksfan89 Unfortunately I do not have an index at this time as I'm still just doing a "first pass" capture of all the VHS and Betamax tapes in my collection. Will continue posting sports events as I come across them, cheers!
john belushi in a hockey helmet??
Is Pulford still alive, I liked him.
Hate the leafs but love the birdie in the thumbnail. Hated tie domi and most of them except darcy tucker cuz he was a middle weight agitator who would actually fight. I thought about what it would be like to fight him at the same age with his crazy faces lol nothing but teeth hair & fists swinging lol
12:55 10.9% financing is wild
RIP Dan Maloney.
57 points is plenty when the team chasing you for the last playoff spot has 40!😂
Leafs forevah!🍻
23 games below .500 and still made the playoffs?
What a disgrace.
I like that they used the organs for music between plays much more than today but how were the TV viewers supposed to know how much time was left of the game? It's another era, miss those original 6 arenas for sure. 😊
I’ve been searching for this game for years…thank you.
Same here! The loudest game I have ever been at.
I was thinking hockey in 1986 looked way beter than this, passes are bad, defence is awful - maybe they are just very tired
Wow, they look so slow in this era!
Amazing to see Al Secord go without a helmet... he was one of the last remaining holdouts: thehockeynews.com/all-access/helmet-holdouts-the-last-players-to-wear-helmets-in-the-nhl
Shame he never stayed a leaf his entire career
Goaltenders with no neck protection is insane
3 more years until Malarchuk
But this was the year Salming suffered that horrible cut to the face. He could’ve died if they’d caught his neck 🥺
despite finishing 23 games below .500 and having the fourth worst record in franchise history............. 1980's hockey was so so bad
The Leafs should just fold ffs'
What a great intro.... Miss these times so much.
