Class. Real class. Glad the HHOF finally honored the best passer/playmaker of his era. He turned a lot of good talent into "greats". Last words were to thank his Mom, Dad and The Mrs. That's good people. Class.
This is one player I wish the Illitch’s could have brought back when they were putting together all star teams in Detroit. It sucked when they traded him. Not sure if there would be enough ice time for Stevie, Sergei and Adam Oates, but damn that would have been one helluva of a trio!!
Pure class. Didn’t really see him much in his prime, but I think he was underrated. He made those around him better, and that’s as great a compliment you could give to any athlete or public figure
Oh how it is very clear that Adam Oats is a good man with integrity and much appreciation for those that helped him to the top . I wish him the very best !!
I watched him as a junior he was on my brother's team...Markham Waxers along with Steve Thomas...classy then and still today...and always on point...Congrats...excellent speech.
As a Bruins fan growing up, I had some incredible players that I personally idolized here in Boston. Cam Neely, Ray Bourque, Andy Moog, and by far, one of the most prolific passers and assist men is Adam Oates. My only regret, is that I wish he played longer as a Bruin along with Cam Neely. Adam Oates is by far one of the classiest athletes.
The third best passer of all time after lemieux and gretzky! his chemistry with brett hull was unstoppable and very tough for the opponents to comprehend
Very nice, such an understated guy, in so many ways, I think because of that, at times he didn't get the recognition he so righly deserved, but anybody who knows what offsides is, knows how incredible A player he was, at times, he was MAGIC!!!

Wow....this guy is some kinda' Class Act!
Seeing the best frommy youth, Oates, Neely and Bourque all together in such an intense moment. Wow! My eyes got wet and teary.
In case people forgot, he was undrafted.
One of the best

Outside of Gretzky nobody was a better or more creative playmaker.
I didn't know we had a Vulcan in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
And the St. Louis blues in their wisdom traded away Oates and Hull and Shanahan and Gilmour and many others -
True... but they now have the Cup!
@@ORagnar two totally different things.
@@jasonsabourin9547 -- True, but I was lost in the moment. :-)
I understand ☝
Didn't even have to use a cheat sheet to do his speech.
I was thinking same thing, that's impressive
+lightningsmokerXx well he did five extra years to prepare it ;)
Hull 86 ....NEELY 50 in 44
I thank You Adam for making sure My Son Stephen ate his Peas for the rest of his Like. I hope you remember that.
Dumbest thing the ST Louis Blues ever did was to trade Adam Oats. Ugh
Right up there for dumbest moves by Detroit as well…
На такие мероприятия даже таких бузотёров как Тай Доми приглашают?
Oates needs to go!!! There is no logic behind his coaching style. C'mon Caps you can do better than this
