- Official NHL film of the '76 Stanley Cup finals -- the best of the series of these productions in my opinion. Multiple cameras with actual crowd audio, catchy soundtrack, and a deceivingly close and exciting series even though Habs swept two-time defending champs. Dan Kelly with the narration.

Reminds me of my Coleco Stanley Cup table top hockey game when I was kid. Flyers vs. Canadiens. Even came with a little plastic Stanley Cup. . . that the dog chewed. I freakin' loved that game.
I never had the game but I have the Stanley Cup. I got it as a stray piece from a damaged game.
I had it too !
I had Munro Hat Trick Hockey that came with with unlicensed New York 'Rangers" and Detroit 'Red Wings' at Christmas 1972. Sent off for the Montreal 'Canadiens'. LOADS of fun.
I had one
Had the game too, teams were Montreal and Toronto.
that Montreal defense tho, holy cow
Robinson's hit at 8:48 is an all time banger. He knocked the boards loose.
The 70s Habs was the best NHL team ever!!!!
No
The islanders won 19 consecutive playoff series
In route to 4 cups and a fifth appearance all in a row.
The Habs are second best at 15.

Montreal deserved the Cup , they were a great team but the Flyer’s battled with them every step of the way. Great series.
This was a great team that never received their just due. A phenomenal team who had role players, clutch players, who all knew and accepted their respective roles. The Islanders always fashioned their run post Les Habitants'. They met often in the playoffs, as Montreal taught the Islanders' Dynasty how to win. Just as Gretzky often mentions how the Isles taught the Oilers how to win off losing, so did Montreal for the Islanders. Adversity built character for both Edmonton & the Isles in their respective runs thanks to these great Canadiens teams from the 70s. It was a great time to be a hockey fan as we watched three great teams dominate the sport for 12 years.
oilers folded in 86 when faced with adversity they were a notch below the habs and isles teams imo
I was a Habs fan and I thought they had met their match. Yes, Parent sitting out was helpful, but the Flyers were beaten out from the goal line. They could play the game any way the Flyers wanted and still be superior. Surprisingly, they even played the rough and tumble Flyer style for a while and were superior at that too. At the end, the Flyers were a physically beaten team.
Fred Shero..if we can't beat em on the ice we'll beat em in the Alleys 😄🥊🇨🇦
@David Roidtiz Someone needs to buy you a clue, casual. Bernie Parent is the only player in NHL history to win the conn smythe , vezina trophy and stanley cup in consecutive seasons. In those consecutive seasons he posted 30 shutouts. 30. A decade later he made the hall of fame. A decade and a half after that he made Hockey News' top 100 players of all time. Did you just start watching the NHL this season?
When the Canadiens kicked the daylights out of the Flyers in a pre-season tilt at The Spectrum; Dave Schultz and the Broad Street Bullies knew they were in trouble because fighting was not going to help their cause when playing the Habs.
From that moment on, the Canadiens could then impose their own style of play on the Flyers, and they knew the latter would never be able to skate with them.
During the Cup final, Robinson neutralized Schultz; while Gainey neutralized Clarke.
@David Roidtiz Swiss cheese? Compared to whom?
I can't imagine what that would make Ron Low when he played for Washington.
The Flyers two Stanley Cup titles were both clinched on Bernie Parent shutouts.
@David Roidtiz Okay, out with it. Who is your team? Is it the Bruins? Is it the Rangers? Is it the Penguins.
I detect bitterness in your posts because you are simply unwilling to give credit where it's due. The Flyers had players like Barber and MacLeish who were 50-goal scorers, not goons.
Parent had a GAA of less than 2.00 and a league-leading 13 shutouts in 1973-74. He also won both the Vezina and the Conn Smythe trophy that year.
You might laugh, but you really need your head examined.
Big thank you for this, I really enjoyed it.
This music reminds me of go go dancers with knee-high boots
Something to see, weren't they?
reminds me of a 1970s B-rated film. lol
Delightfully atrocious 70’s music
That hit from Larry still echoes in the old Forum
But not in the Bell Centre. Although his coaching rings out in the old Izod Center/Coninental Airlines Arena
@David Roidtiz still are the Broad Street weenies, even when Mike Keenan coached them and beat Montreal in the 1988 playoffs, and when Lindros played for them. And those were way better talent wise than the one Montreal played in 1976
I love the games from the 70 and 80's. It still makes me smile that on every goal the team would clear the bench to celebrate.
Thanks for posting!
Outside Boston and Philly twice, the 70s weren't a fun decade if you were not a Habs fan
Yes that's true. I'm a Rangers fan and I think the Blueshirts were good enough to win one in the early 70s. They lost in the semifinals in 7 games in 71 and 74, and they lost in 6 to the Bruins in the Finals in 72. They beat the Habs twice (72, 74) in the playoffs in the early 70s and the Bruins once (73). Since the NHL's first expansion in 1967, those early 70s Rangers teams were the best the franchise has ever had. The 94 team finally broke the drought, much to my eternal joy, but those Emile Francis coached Rangers of 69-70 to 73-74 were the most talented of the last 50 years.
Chris Kreager -The had talent up the ass by ripping off the new clubs of their first round picks. I hated those Montreal bastards, but man were they good in almost every position ( Even the guy singing their national anthem was the best in hockey!!)
Daniel Zanier -Very talent club who could have one a cup in the 70’s but never seem to get a break. Their end came when they traded Park and Ratelle to the Bruins for and aging Espo.
It wasn't just the 70's, Montreal had most cup wins in the 50's 60's and 70's
1993🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The 70's Habs plays 3 seasons in a row and lost only 30 games . they lost 8 , 10 and 12 games in those seasons . Wow , what a team they had when they acquired Frank M.
Notice the lack of names on the back of uniforms and advertising on the boards.
The Flyers had their names on their home jerseys, but not their road jerseys.
The names on the uniforms would be coming in 1977-78 if you liked that it wouldn't be for long
I love everything 70s. My childhood and early teens. That Habs team is the best of all time. Sorry Wayne.
76-77 team lost 10 of 94 games! 10! unbelievable. hell,the 75-76 team lost what,12 of 93 game? incredible. then the 77-78 team lost what, 13 of 95 games? insane. a team beyond all......
I'm a hockey fan and a hockey player I remember this Stanley cup 1976 best game between these teams
Who said the Flyers only could only play the goon part of the game? Bobby Clarke won his 3 rd Hart Trophy 🏆 👏 in 4 years as NHL MVP
shutt's 2nd goal in game 3 is magical.
Agreed, gotta give the Canadiens a lot of credit, the Spectrum was a snake pit for opposing teams in that era.
BTW, that catchy soundtrack instrumental, I looked it up, it’s “Bulldozer” by Alan Hawkshaw:

This was known as the " Good vs Evil " series
The Broadstreet Bullies got Bullied!
The canadiens teams 1976-1978 were like the 1927 Yankees. Raw talent!
they were a great team besides the 80-84 islanders no team was better

One of the Habs, years later, remarked there was a reason why the Canadien players were sitting down for pictures with the Cup after taking Game Four. That's how exhausted they were from the physical demand of sweeping a team as good as Philly.
I still remember this series + the last game + the crowdie parade in a wonderful sunny day in Montreal ( a Saturday i think). Everything was beautiful then.
awesome post
They had to bring the cup home
for 1976 Olympic games
Best team ever
1977 were even better
Love me some Bobby Clarke! Greatest moment is when I met him in the afternoon skate while he was the G. M. for the Minnesota North Stars . That was 1990/91 when my beloved Pittsburgh Penguins had their way with them during the cup finals. Also when Mr. Mario Lemieux owned the HNL during those days.
Bob Gainey coached that Minnesota team and also was GM of the same franchise after they moved to Dallas and won the cup in 1999 and lost it the next year to the Devils and Larry Robinson
@@mm-gl7sz Bobby Clarke was GM until 1992. Look it up.
10 yrs later Robinson's hard hits brought another cup , not before he won the Smythe in 78 . though . Lol , Whatta team ! The Islanders nor the Oilers had the defense that Mtl's 70's teams had .
'76 Flyers were good but were soundly defeated by Montreal... '76-79 Canadiens were the best hockey team ever which has already been stated but bears repeating... that team had no weakness...
Best memories of May 1976.
GO HABS GO!
FANTASTIC team.
Great memories..
those were the days. finesse vs braun. so many hall-of-famers. in game 1, the only time I ever saw Robinson jumping after a goal, before or since. no adverts on boards, no helmets, no teeth ! real hockey.
I would like to see the 80s Oilers against 70s Canadians . Now that would be a series. Hockey used to be so much better. Thanks Gary
I agree. However, they did play against each other in the Heritage Classic. Lol. Fun to watch.
We saw that in 1981 when #14 Edmonton swept out The 3rd Ranked Canadiens in 3 Games.
@@Jiltedin2007 Lafleur was on his way out with only 27 goals, Savard and Dryden were gone. Wamsley and Sevigny in nets were not considered top tier. This was a very different team compared to their peak in the mid 70s with players like Cournoyer and Pete Mahovlich. But I think the Oilers would have prevailed because Dryden probably wasn't up to the task of stopping the Oiler's offensive machine. Dryden was over rated. In my view Fuhr was far superior in nets.
I’d say the Lafleur and Dryden Canadians would frustrate Gretzky, Coffey, Messier, Kuri and Anderson. Oilers didn’t play good defense. Habs would score easily. On the flipside I’d like to see the old school flyers take on the 80’s oilers. Bambi versus Cujo 😂! Clark sinks his fangs into Gretzky 🤔...It would be like slapshot!
@@danroux4010 Overrated? Put the crack pipe down Dan.
The good ol'days!!!! ❤️ F--kin' A
Grand pop said this was the best game he ever seen
This showed that you can only get so far with bullying play before the rest of the league catches on.
As grizzled as you appear in the icon, you should know better than your comment. The club of Montreal in the late 40's and 50's used their hockey sticks during fights as a weapon and during the late 60's, the Blues beat the living shit out of the Flyers' bloody during the series and it was only then when Ed Snider made the decision that his club would never be physically beaten like that again, thus the club run in the mid 70's to the two Cup winning seasons.
Actually, it showed you that when a team (Montreal) beats you at your own game (fighting), in your own building (the Spectrum), and even in the pre-season, it can leave you mentally broken!
'Strange as it may sound, the Canadiens won the Stanley Cup by kicking the daylights out of the Flyers both on the scoreboard and in the fisticuffs in a 1975 exhibition game.
@@FischerFan you're going to herniate a disk with that stretch
@@timomomomo969 Are you aware of what happened in that pre-season game? If it's such a stretch, then why did the Flyers spend the entire subsequent regular season in second place overall behind the Canadiens?
We all know what happened in the Cup final that year.
@@FischerFan the Montreal teams of 1985 through 1992 were far more physical and dirtier than the 70s teams. And even their goalie, Patrick Roy, would fight. Then they just became bad after that haven't won a cup since, lost LeClair to Philly where he became a scoring machine, and Roy to the former Quebec Nordiques who had become the Colorado Avalanche, only to see Roy won 2 more cups with their former battle of Quebec hated rivals, the last cup beating Marty Brodeur and the defending champion Devils. By then Roy was only a shadow of himself due to age and arthritis but still managed to pull out probably his greatest game in game 6 in New Jersey to keep the Avs in the game at the beginning when it looked like they were going to lose the Cup that night. His early game performance ignited the whole team, the Avs won game 6 then won the seventh game back home to win the Cup
I love these Stanley Cup playoffs films. Who were they made for originally? Where were they shown? I don't remember seeing them on tv.
I am not sure if it would answer your question...it's similar to the world series highlights that were made back then. Same music and a lot of the same people on the ending credits.
My Dad went to school with the brothers❤
Back when the Montreal Canadiens were the "Flying Frenchmen ".
Today they are the crawling ( goalies) Anglos.
Loved Big Bird !
You really wish this team of the habs and especially the next year (77 habs were statistically the best team ever) could have played the 85-87 oilers teams. That would be the cup finals for the ages.
Well... what about the challenge from the AVCO Cup winners, the Winnipeg Jets, to a series, winner take all?? The Habs wouldn't even reply.
@@34Packardphaeton - you're a master of sarcasm or an idiot ... your choice.
It's not a good thing.. if EVERYONE thought the same way.
Groucho Marxism Jets in 4
@CJ Dillon and let's not forget that the younger and faster Oilers swept what was left of the Habs 70's dynasty team in the prelim playoff series of '81 3-0 !
The eternal argument will be what if the Flyers had Parent and MacLeish. Not a fan of the flyers then or now but I'm not in the camp that says they intimidated their way to two cup wins and 3rd cup appearance. They were a hard working team and not without their own skill on the ice. They did intimidate but they mostly outworked other teams and had a handful of guys who could put the puck in the net. I don't think they were going to take the Habs this year but the series was much closer than many seem to remember...3 one goal games. The Habs were clearly the more skilled team but in this series they outworked, outhit, and out skated the Flyers...they were not intimidated at all. The Habs were always known for their skating and playmaking, but their defensive prowess was often overshadowed by their offensive power. They won a lot of 1 goal games during their 70's dominance...and came from behind in a lot of those. Nobody wanted to be up a goal on them going into the 3rd against the Habs. I do think that Parent and MacLeish would have made a difference but over 7 games I still think the Habs win. Dryden actually had a pretty bad series and let in some weak goals. Hard to believe this was over 40 years ago and the flyers haven't won since the year preceding this series. The mid to late 70's saw 3 teams with Dynasty potential (Mtl,Bost,Phi), and a 4th knocking on the door with the Ilsanders. Buffalo with some really good teams in that era just couldn't get it done in the playoffs. Great era of Hockey.
....some answer here about how strong Philadelphia would have been with Macleish and Parent in good shape 5 months later after Mtl swept Phil : 1st meeting of the 76-77 season the game was played in Philadelphia and ALL the media of the city predicted very big trouble for Montreal before the night ! : results here www.flyershistory.com/cgi-bin/boxscore.cgi?19760036
canadiens still woulda swept them...., no offense.....they can't beat THAT team.....
can't agree more with you !!! :) look my previous post , WITH Macleish and Parent in the lineup , the summary of the game tells everything !
Leach was deadly that year: 61 goals in the season, 19 in the playoffs and won the Conn Smythe trophy. You could see it in some of his goals. They had their best players. The rest of the Flyers could intimidate and they did try it with Montreal that year and it backfired. This Montreal team could physically dominate the Flyers led by Robinson. It was one of the factors int eh series.
This was the end of the Broad Street Bullies. Never were the same. Tamed and tenderized by Big Bird Beast Larry Robinson and the Canadiens for the Bruins to eliminate them the next year 1977 and the year after 1978 in the future Stanley Cup Playoff series although the Flyers did make it back in the 1980 Finals against the Islanders the Canadiens removed their bullying manhood from them in 1976.
Montreal was a better team that year but I would imagine that if the Flyers goalie Bernie Parent was not injured and played in this series, it would have been a lot closer than a sweep. Bernie Parent is a Hall of Fame goalie.
Canadiens got a break not having to face Parent
Three of the four games in this series were decided by one goal. Had Parent been healthy; we would've seen one of the best Cup finals ever.
@@FischerFanBetter to be lucky than good sometimes
But Stephenson was great in that series. He only let in one bad goal and it was one of those fluttering pucks that dipped on him (as shown in this video). Stephenson didn't lose the cup for the Flyers. Still, Parent was an established star, and the series might have gone further. I think the Habs would still win it, but it would have been very interesting!
@@bareknuckles2u Agreed. The series probably would have gone 6 games instead of a sweep, but the Canadiens would still have won. The first 3 games were all 1 goal wins for Montreal and although Wayne Stephenson did a decent job, Bernie was a Hall of Fame goalie and so his absence was still felt.
If Parent was in there, the Flyers may have stolen a game or two, but the Montreal teams of those years were way too good
The Flyers simply ran out of gas, back to back Cups in ‘74 & ‘75 beating Boston & Buffalo means long seasons, plus injured Bernie Parent was recipe for Cup streak to end. Besides Montreal was a more powerful machine and won the next three years closing out the 1970’s.....next dynasty up after the Habs, the New York Islanders.....Philly hasn’t won a Cup since beating the Sabres in 1975....
Thankfully. Was nauseous watching them win in 74/75. A stain on the holy grail of hockey.
THANKS FOR THE INFO. BRO !!!
thanks for the infro bro !
Ooof. That goaltending 🧐😳😳
If you lived anywhere but Philadelphia, you were rooting for the Habs. The Flyers were the most disliked team in hockey and maybe the most disliked team of all-time in any major sport because of the way they, uh, "played."
This was a great start to the 1979 Challenge Cup. Unfortunately as we all know the tournament didn’t end well. Tretaik and Dryden was the ultimate goaltender match up.
Hasek would have beaten both of them. He took an average probably non playoff team to the Finals in 1999, where they didn't even belong and gave a superior Dallas team that included a couple of former Candien and Rangers Cup champs all they could handle because they had Hasek. He also was the primary reason Czechoslovakia won the gold at the Olympics a year earlier even though they weren't that great. I don't think Tretiak, Dryden, or Parent could have done that. Hasek stood on his head in goal and made saves like no one before or since.
It's interesting to note - watching how top-flite NHL hockey was played back in 1976. So much of the checking and stick work - especially around the body and across the hands - are all penalties now. Not say that's good or bad. It's just the way the game is called now. There's so much more freedom from the stick work to build offensive chances. Back in 1976, good teams would clog you. They'd slow you down. They'd chip at you to limit clean entry and clean passing.
If Parent and Mcleash were playing in this series the Flyers would have won 3 straight
Take Lafleur and Dryden out of the mix and see how it goes for them. As it was 3 of the 4 games were decided by 1 goal, with the clincher won by 2. You would think they would have dominated given we were missing our top scorer and the World’s best goalie at the time. And don’t forget when the NHL and Canada needed the Habs to beat the Russians, all they could manage was a tie. We all know what happened in Philly.
Well: they got both of them back the following year, but didn't win another game against Montreal for about four years.
It's very unfair to Wayne Stephenson, as he played extremely well in this series, aside from the one blooper shot.
wish someone had vid of the brawl in warm up in game 1 . flyers where beaten before the drop of the puck. habs fan since 1971 Dryden rookie
That was in the 1988 series. Flyers beat the Canadiens in the series for the first time ever in the playoffs, then lost in 7 to the Oilers
Would’ve been interesting to see a healthy MacLeish and Parent playing in these playoffs.
the flyers......'are going home'....4 straight
one of the greatest Stanley Cup finals of all time in terms of the high level of talent on both teams, fan interest and the overall significance. the only other finals that can compare are the 1983 finals between the 2 dynasties (islanders vs Oilers), 1980 when the Montreal reign finally ended, and 1994 (because of the 54 year drought of the NY rangers). most other finals since then were either a mismatch (most notably 1982), or are in the Bettman era with talent spread thin over too many teams + neutral zone trap.
1987 Finals with Oilers and Flyers ? That was a goot one.
@@lozerboozer
I was in northlands to witness this series ⚡🇨🇦😆
@@lozerboozer I would have included it if the Flyers had won. But that final was a mis-match, only Ron Hextall's stupendous goaltending prevented a 4 game sweep. One of the greatest performances by a goaltender in playoff history though.
Dude this is totally awesome. Have you got the 1977 and '78 Stanley Cup films as well?
I think that there's an error late in this video. The '76 Cup win was Montreal's 19th, I believe. '71 was the 17th, and '73 was the 18th.
You are right. I was looking for a comment about that surprising error, and I was thinking that nobody noticed it. Until I read yours. 👍
No, sorry, do not have those films. Good question, though, I don't recall ever having seen them.
Two greatest dynasty’s were the Habs of the 70s and the Oilers of the 80s
8:28 Does Wayne Stephenson even move on that shot by LaFleur?
That was a tricky talent Lafleur and Lemaire had --- you could expect a blast and they'd throw a you a loop. I don't know why players don't seem to do that much anymore. Watching games in Boston I was frustrated watching Bruins blow chances when they could have mixed up the shots more. It just must be a quick thinking talent.
Wow!!! Awesome footages. Can you get that same type of documentary from the 1979 Stanley cup?
Simon Charpentier No one cares about the ‘79 cup final. The semi-final between Montreal and Boston was the only series of consequence that year.

Welcome to hockey. i'm 55 and ive been watching hockey since I was 5. Hockey was like a religion when I was young, the players were like family members who appeared on the tv screen , Saturday night for 2 and half hour every week during the season. That Montreal team was special, the talent was unreal. It was a special time to be a Canadiens fan. As far as speed is concerned, now it's a lot faster. Also the players are bigger, the goalies equipment is better and bigger but for some reason it's not as fun to watch, that's my two cents......
Thanks for the considered response Chais Jo! Very interesting. I became a hockey fan last Feb 2019, whilst taking my daughter to Canada (Toronto) for her 18th birthday present. We took in a Mapleleafs game & became huge fans, although we could have took to any team really; dependent on which city she chose. Prior to this I'd been a boxing fan. Although a violent sport, the crowds are beer-fueled & vicious, unlike the family atmosphere created by hockey fans. I'm so glad I changed sport. We watch our local team here in the UK & although the standard isn't great; the passion is what makes it watchable. I too am 55 this year & it's good to hear from someone of the same age, regarding their feelings for the Montreal Canadians!
I apologise! Canadiens!!!

I remember the Uniform being the same as the Calgary Flames but a G instead of a C on the flame. My wife is English and we were out there for a while in the late 90's. Best pubs in the world. Take care during these crazy days...
@@chais1111 Flames were in Atlanta originally. Hockey has never worked there. Thrashers are in Winnipeg
And to think the great harry sinden left leach uncovered in the expansion draft.also drafted terry orielly over larry robinson.orielly probably would have been available for 5 more rds.and one of his biggest blunders ever harry drafted rick smith over brad park
Boston also had both Dryden AND Parent - Parent was let go in the expansion draft, and Dryden elected to play college hockey, which elite players of the time almost never did. Imagine how many more Cups Boston may have won with both Dryden and Parent
No Bernie Parent.... Interesting!
What ever happened to Bobby Clark and Dave Shultz?
Bobby Clark??? Played 7 more years, elected into the NHL Hall of Fame, General Mgr for the Flyers, North Stars and Panthers, then back to Flyers as GM then Senior Vice President
Schultz was traded to the LA Kings for two years, the Penguins for two years and ended up his career with the Sabres for two years. He only played a full season twice after he was traded from the Flyers. Injuries kept him off of the ice. His last year with the Sabres, he was sent down to the Rochester Americans of the AHL and then retired after the 79-80 season.
The irony is, Schultz and the Flyers were never the same force again after being swept by Montreal in this series.
In fact; Schultz would be out of hockey before the Canadiens were dethroned as Cup champions.
Reggie Leach had an amazing playoffs, but the Conn Smythe should have gone to Guy Lafleur imo -
Canadiens swept the Flyers !
Lemaire was the key. Jarvis became better than Clarke.
LeMaire was also a great coach
No Bernie Parent might've been a different series had BP been healthy..
The Flyers were without Bernie and MacLeish.The games were still close.
They were swept dingbat
@ Hey bird brain, just because they were swept, doesn't mean the games weren't close. What a idiot!
The playoff series against the Flyers in the 1970s were usually always tight scores. The Canadiens eliminated the Flyers in 5 games in 1973 with MacLeish in the Flyers lineup. The game scores in the 1973 series were very tight except for one game the Canadiens won 4-1.
When you’re good, you’re also lucky. Luck was really on the Habs side. Each game was close.
The Canadians strength was THIER style of play defense defense defense to the point of frustrating exhaustion for the other team and then a lightning attack of a forced mistake and boom they're ahead to play more smothering defense.
Wrong. Hab's strength was in every aspect of the game: defense, offense and goal tending. They've also made Hockey evolve and and that's why they were unbeatable.
@@DelireWeb they used the same defense Detroit used to win the 2 Cups under Bowman, the left wing lock. I thought the Neutral Zone trap as invented by Roger Nielson and perfected by Jacques LeMaire was better.
No perent no cup.
People forget just how important McLeish and parent were to the flyers , they were their 2 best playoff performers , and neither Stanley cup would have been won by the flyers without both those guys. They were also missing their best puck moving defenseman in jim Watson . Imagine the Canadiens without ken Dryden and someone who at the time was comparable to McLeish like Steve shutt and someone comparable to what jim Watson brought to the flyers , like serve savard . The Canadiens team would have been handled very badly if the tables were flipped . Each game was so close, and the flyers were missing their best players . The Canadiens couldn't even beat the Russians that year. The flyers were the best team of this series ,but sadly were taken out by injuries . Parent did 5x as much than what Dryden did for his team. Parent was the flyers, Dryden was good but overrated
.... and the Flyers haven't won a Cup since '75 . . . . . .
Couldn't beat the Russians!! Did you see the game? It was a 3-3 game and Montreal skated rings around them . The great Russian goalie kept it from being a 7-3 game at least. The 1976 Mont. team was a powerhouse.
have you learned anything about hockey yet. the outcome would be no different with those three. the canadians were a team of destiny, the flyers were a team of thugs. even their so called skilled players were thugs. hockey was saved by montreal and the flyers were never heard from again. the end.
@@thomasbealy533 I mean you can call them thugs but 3 hall of Famers are on that team ?? Leach scored 61 goals this year, barber 50 and clarke over a hundred points. Macleish joe and jim watson were tough but clean players. U cant be 2x cup champs by being thugs. The year before they beat the Sabres, who beat who in the previous round ? The Canadians . Clarke will always be one of the best most skilled leaders in hockey history , and parent in his prime was awesome. Know what ur talking about first maybe.
@@michaelbelfer1069 and yes they couldnt beat the Russians, the flyers did. U say tretiak was the only reason the canadians didnt win , but he wasnt a problem for the flyers . : )
Basically a hockey team beat a prison ball hockey team.
You have to admit, they had some good talent. It's the cavemen who ruined it (Kelly, Schultz)
Awesome comment xD
@@Pfsif and shero.
Sometime ago, I was a Lifelong Fan of the Habs... Funny how things go... and the Team became a political mess.
The Canadiens might have won this series but the Flyers beat the Soviets when the Canadiens couldn't.
and they tried to beat Mtl. the same way, by bullying. Mtl let em have it
@@daveyboy_ They had done just that in a pre-season tilt in Philly. Montreal then proceeded to impose their skating style on the Flyers, and they knew the Flyers would never be able to skate with them.
@@FischerFan but they did. They just couldn't solve Dryden. The scores for the games were 4-3, 2-1, 3-2, 5-3 so it isn't like the Flyers were blown out.
@@Rockhound6165 Oh, no doubt. The Flyers were swept, but were never embarrassed on the scoreboard.
While Dryden won the battle in goal, I think it is important to remember that Wayne Stephenson gave up some goals that a healthy Bernie Parent likely wouldn't have.
Had he and Rick MacLeish been healthy enough to play in that Cup final, it would've been one of the best of all time.
The Canadiens were successful in neutralizing certain Flyer players. Robinson kept Schultz in check, while Gainey neutralized Bobby Clarke. Of course, the Canadiens forgot about Reggie Leach!
The Riverton Rifle made Dryden look like a deer caught in the headlights.
If the Flyers had Parent in net, and were healthy, it would have been a 3-peat for the Flyers.
If the queen had balls she'd be king. You see my point ?
@@daveyboy_could be transgender....lol... woulda, coulda, shoulda....actually it wasn't the goaltending....
@@outdoorrn2980 It was Mtl's accention to dominance is what it was.
@@daveyboy_ no arguement. They were a dynasty.
@@outdoorrn2980 i got other fish to fry, scroll down on the comments im in an argument with some clown talking bout how this was the 'pre butterfly era ' .
I would take Tikkanen Gretzky Paul Coffey,Mark Messier,Jari Kurri,Glenn Anderson,Grant Fuhr,Charlie Huddy,Graig MacTavish,Kevin Lowe,Chris Pronger,Dave Semenko 4 cups all all stars and have more I can't even pronounce
Mtl had more players in the HOF in this one series than Edmonton has in total , BTW when did Pronger win a cup with the Oilers ? and its Craig not Greg. u really know your stuff
@@daveyboy_ Pronger won a Cup with Anaheim not Edmonton, although he was on the Edmonton team that took Carolina 7 games before losing in 2005-2006
@@mm-gl7sz don't tell me that , tell the clown who made the video
stephenson cost the flyers game 3
And games 1, 2, and 4.
@@lozerboozer not true, Stephenson was great in the other games.
@David Roidtiz to be fair to Clarke, Montreal had Gainey, Risebrough and Jarvis play against him all the time.
Clarke was the worst cheap shot artist ever.
And yet to some people he's a hero for intentionally breaking Valeri Kharlamov's ankle in the seventh game of the 1972 USSR - Canada Summit Series. If Kharlamov had been able to play in game eight the Soviets may have won that historic game.
Nah, I think that award goes to both Scott Stevens and Chris Pronger with honorable mention to Chris Neal and Zdeno Chara
that jazzy music though awful
Yeah jazz sucks , funny how all kinds of comments people talkin how cool the music is. Except you .
