Ahhh yes the three Mandela effects 1. Mandela went to prison got out and became president of south Africa 2. Mandela went to prison and died still behind bars 3. Mandela went to prison, got out and won the Stanley Cup
@@notapig1698 me, too. As interesting as this video was, I watched them all live (except Stefan and Schenfeld, which was related the next game) and had none of these incorrect views. The US wasn't even guaranteed a medal after the USSR win, because of the Sweden tie.
Steve Smith redeemed himself the following year by being one of the best Oilers, so much so that Mr. Gretzky passed the Cup first to Smith before anyone else got to lift it.
Those of us who watched Steve Smith live will never forget tbe Oilers throwing everything at Mike Vernon for those last fifteen minutes trying to tie the game.
Herb Brooks’ 2nd most famous speech comes from the second intermission of the actual gold medal game against Finland. Down 2-1, Brooks tells the team “If you lose this game, you will take it to your (expletive deleted) graves.” Walks out the locker room. “Your (same expletive) graves!”
Just want to say Mandela effect as a Sabres fan is I said we won the Stanley Cup in Game 7 after no goal overturn the ref said Brett Hall's foot was in the crease lol
I am a Finn and that's why I remember this part very well, but not exact English expression. When I first time saw Miracle, I was expecting also match against Finland, because I knew it would be the last one. Of course the dramatic arc of movie demanded that the match against Soviet Union was the climax, and of course it was, but it would have been nice to see also something about match USA-Finland. Instead it was only mentioned. As I said, I don't remember exact words, but I am positive that he said how they made sure winning the gold against Finland, as they did. He said "complete", if I remember correctly, so it may have been just as you said. What does he say now?
@@mikahamari5994 In that game against Finland when USA was behind at the end of the 2nd period Herb Brooks told his boys "If you lose this game you'll take it to your graves". They knew he was right and they scored those 3 goals in the the 3rd period as if their lives depended on it.
Some might remember Bobby Baun playing with a broken leg and scoring the Stanley Cup-winning goal in overtime to give the Maple Leafs the Stanley Cup in 1964. In fact, that was in game 6 in Detroit, sending the series to a seventh game in Toronto, which the Leafs won 4-0.
I thought I remember Nelson Mandela’s entire NHL career. Born in Montreal, Nelson Mandela fell in love with the game of hockey. His father wanted him to be a barber tho so there was some conflict there. But Nelson Mandela wanted to be a hockey player. Despite his fathers plea to go to barber school, he got drafted 19th overall to the new Edmonton Oilers out of the WHA. Some people report a guy named Wayne Gretzky playing on that team. Mandela claims that they were a victim of the Gretzky effect. After setting record after record with Edmonton, he was traded to Pittsburgh for Babe Ruth. Alongside Claude Lemieux and Jaromir Iginla, they led Pittsburgh to 5 straight Stanley Cups from 1991 to 1996. But after a Stanley Cup Final loss, Mandela would get a new personal coach, John Cena. Known as one of the greatest coaches in the history of sports, Cena took on a challenge by training the top NHL player to go to the next level despite not knowing how to skate. Cena was soon fired by Mandela. Gary Bettman took over along with Adam Silver. He wasn’t protected during the 1998 Expansion Draft involving the new Alabama Panthers due to an off season fight with Wayne Yzerman over a golfing match. The Panthers would win 3 cups in a row with Mandela. He then got traded to Montreal. His hometown team. His father found out about the trade and used the time he had in Montreal to question Mandela’s decision to not be a barber. Montreal finally got their first cup in their long franchise history with Mandela. After that, Nelson Mandela the hockey player, decided to listen to his father and become Nelson Mandela the barber. He was last seen cutting hair at a Montreal Barber Shop with no mention of his illustrious NHL career and going under the name Rick Astley. His slogan is: “I’m never gonna give your hair up!”
I swear Zach Parise began his career in Minnesota then went to New Jersey in free agency, and just this year the universe corrected itself, rearranged everyones memory of this, and made it so he went from NJ to Minn.
The names being pronounced in different ways is pretty common. Especially since Europeans entered the league. Announcers and analysts might be told to pronounce it one way only for the player to eventually correct it. Andrej sekeras name has changed like 4 times since he's been around. Lol. And try not to get names from video games. As someone who's been playing nhl since the 1st one they get names wrong ALL the time. Lol. Just saying. Nice video.
Buddy, these aren't Mandela effects at all. They are historical misconceptions that are quickly and easily explained. The Mandela effect has to do with different memories of events altogether, complete with physical alterations to the events in question. Get it straight man!
I remember the USA had to beat Finland on Sunday to win gold. The 1980 USSR team was beating NHL teams by multiple goals, so when the USA beat them it was a huge letdown for the USSR. The cold war still went on for another 7 years, but we knew in America that we were the greatest country in the world.
I remember an interview with Mike Eruzione after the game. The interviewer said "You guys beat communism today". Mike said: "No we didn't, we just beat a great hockey team."
You have a great channel, great content, and I too and a life long Wings fan. HOWEVER, none of these are Mandela effects! There is a fine line between misconceptions and Mandela effects! Mandela effects are exact memories shared my millions and in some cases billions of people that 100% are sure they remember things different than how supposedly they actually happened. things like people assumed beating the Soviet’s for a gold medal is just a misconception shared typically by non hockey fans! big difference! However, still a good video! Mandela effect is real BTW. I don’t care what anyone says, Luke I am you’re father was the line! There is no way every person in history who’s watched that movie and made that line so popular just remembered it wrong! For fuck sake they made Chris farly say that exact line in another movie! Now what I think is going on? No idea. But the effect is real! It’s not a lie or anything! “Like WAS like a box of chocolates?”. Lol BS, we all just remember that wrong too I guess! every parody of that scene or comedy sketch done about that scene says “IS”. This is not directed toward this video! I’m just adding this because I’ve seen people say the effect is bogus but can’t explain it! I’ve subscribed to you’re channel btw. Go wings
But if Chris Farley says the actual line "no I am your father" the audience wouldn't have a clue it's a Star Wars reference so it had to be adjusted for context. It doesn't really prove anything.
The question is why would people think it’s “Luke” and not “no” to begin with with? That’s the entire point. You have millions upon millions upon millions who remember the same line the same way! Not a couple people. I’ve literally never heard ANYONE ever say “no”. Why? Becusse that’s what everybody heard
@@111voodoo Ever seen an optical illusion? Millions upon millions see one thing when it's really another. The fact millions are fooled doesn't prove anything. "Luke I am your father" doesn't even mesh with the dialogue preceding it. People added it to tie it to Star Wars and repeated it so much they forget the actual line.
False memories, something created accidentally as a error, or misremembering. I just explained the Mandela effect as far as our limitations of knowledge in our current time. Just because millions of people misremember something or believe it doesn’t make it true, millions believe that God created humans perfectly, but a mad scientist decided to tried to this aswell and accidentally created other things that look like and acted perfectly like humans but were actually devils, but thankfully you could tell the difference because the devils had white skin and the “perfect beings from God” had skin that was any other color darker than white. I’ve seen people say this is bogus but can’t disprove it! ....see what I did there? Just because something isn’t actually provable doesn’t mean its true or not, scientifically everything we currently know could be false or a misunderstanding of reality. When you get into some quantum chances, a very less than 1% chance that the effect is true and some people are from an unknown but parallel universe with the only differences being very minimal or unimportant chances, with rest of the percentage going into an infinite amount of factors like everything being a simulation, aliens lifeforms being the reason, all of anything possible to think of being wrong and the other things I mentioned before in my first sentence, etc.. Your guess could be true, it’s just that to current knowledge its just very very unlikely compared to the vastly more likely scenario that something wrong with us humans are the reason it happened, mostly this comes from the fact human beings aren’t perfect (and I mean absolutely perfect) at information preservation naturally, especially compared to photos or videos. If we were, “r/tipofmytongue” wouldn’t exist (its a place where people go to try and ask others if they remember something they can’t exactly recall but have a vague memory of). Our brains catalog only small bits of whole experiences as to not overload your information processors. Do you think a species that can easily forget something that happened to them or saw 2 minutes ago because they drank a specific liquid or breathed in a certain gas (which even without it, is still not gonna give a perfect description) is also truth worthy of noticing and perfectly recalling if some board game drawing a stereotypical rich dude from when they were 5 had a monocle or not?
I remember as a kid I could have sworn seeing a Buffalo sabres player purposely score on his own net. I clearly remember him wearing a green jersey. Years later when I tried googling it, nothing
I have a Mandela Effects as well. It's with Gordie Howie and I remember him saying in an interview that he said he never personally never had a Gordie Howie hat trick in the NHL
Mandela was a BEAST !! He was the first to knock out Mike Tyson in the infamous yet still underground jailhouse boxing leagues. He really was a true American hero !!!
@@ISB97 The league sent out a memo earlier in the season to the teams saying that if the puckhandler still had possession and was in control of the puck that they were allowed to be in the crease therefore the league called it as a goal. The NHL says that since the puck was deflected by Hasek and back to Hull that Hull still had control of the puck and was allowed to be in the crease. You can think it's a stupid rule but it was technically the right call. th-cam.com/video/vF_LRVuhNa4/w-d-xo.html
I didn't know the Varlamov one until I was recently going through some old hockey cards and found one with his name spelled Semen. I thought it was a typo at first
Thanks for the video. A couple of things you missed. I remember there was lots of time left in 1986, as the FLAMES almost gave up an own goal in that game in 1986. I KNEW about how it wasn't the USA's last game of the Olympics in 1980, as I knew they had to play Finland, but I also know that Tretiak had a very high fever that night, as the reason for him being pulled.
Many people seem to remember when the preds went through their 11 rebrand that they had gold helmets, but it wasn't until 14 when they switched from blue to gold, also many remember them having a guitar pick on each shoulder but they never did, they only had one on the right shoulder
No, he doesn't. He has always said No, I am your father. It is int he RADIO version that Vader (Not James Earl Jone's voice) says No, Luke, I am your father
Remember how forgetting something went down was simply you forgetting how something went? But good ol social media...everyone forgets so let’s call it something So stupid
Someone recently posted that Wayne Gretzky was the 1st ever draft pick of the Oilers, I can't believe some people think that. Wayne was never drafted in the NHL and his first pro team was the WHA's Indianapolis Racers, his first 2 professional goals were scored against the Oilers.
Odd coinkydink, one of the videos to pop up in my recommendations right after posting this comment. Must be due to all of the Walter Gretzky memorial videos I watched this past week. th-cam.com/video/45ktG7TJ1ww/w-d-xo.html - Wayne Gretzky First Two Pro Goals with the WHA Indy Racers.
Can anyone confirm whether Dustin Byfuglien was ever called 'By-foog-lee-an' or 'By-fug-leen' at any point in his career? Because I swear I remember announcers calling him that back in the day.
Yes, I’m pretty sure Pierre McGuire called him that. Also apparently his mom confirmed it is actually pronounced that way but Dustin just went along with a reporter who said it the way we have come to know it as
Lifelong Blues fan. I would have sworn that Yzerman goal from the blue line in the conference finals was on Grant Fuhr. Found out a few years ago it was actually John Casey
The Miracle On Ice didn't end the Cold War, tearing down the Berlin Wall was the beginning of the end of the Cold War. Also, the Space Race was in the 60s, not the 80s.
The Bearinstain/Bearinstien thing happened because knockoff books would use Bearinstien. So people aren't really misremembering or experiencing the Mandela effect. There really were books out there with both the Bearinstain and Bearinstien name.
This is not really Mandela effect, but it also should be noted that Schonfeld never actually pushed the ref. Many have pointed out that the ref just tripped and lost balance. If you watch the clip in slow motion, you can see that being the case.
One misconception I often hear is in regards to Mario Lemieux's cancer diagnosis. Some people refer to Lemieux's comeback in 2000 as when he beat cancer. The cancer was in 1993 midseason. He missed 24 games then came back to win the scoring title. He retired in 1997 and came out of retirement in 2000.
This is not really a Mandela Effect, but as a kid, I saw Mark Messier completely destroy Mike Modano with a hit knocking him out cold. For decades I can picture the hit in my mind. The other day I watch the hit again here on youtube and it looked completely different from how I remembered it. Weird.
I remember it being Mike Modano that messed up an epic open net goal ! I remember him being dropped by EMT's while strapped to a gurney on live tv and I can still find video of that! Granted they were different games but very memorable Modano moments!!!
I want to Mandela effect my entire life as a leafs fan especially when Bernier messed that up lol. I know Borque was there a year, my cousins wedding was during game 7 of the 2001 final. My brother and I would skip out of the dance to listen to the game in my parents car from time to time
Also everyone knows that wasn’t the gold medal game. Specially those that watched the movie. But I can see how younger generations would make the mistake. The game against Russia was the only game anyone cared about
The whole Patrick Stefan thing and the Oilers losing the number one pick? That's ridiculous i had never heard that until now. Also it's an empty net!! Obviously the game wasn't tied. Anyway still a cool idea. I can see what he was going for here it just kind of falls flat on anyone with knowledge of hockey.
Another one with the Flames that I see, especially among Flames fans, is that Lanny McDonald's last ever goal was the cup winning goal against Montreal in 1989. His last ever goal *was* in that cup clinching game, and it did give the Flames a 2-1 lead, but the final score of that game was 4-2 Calgary, with Doug Gilmour scoring the last 2 goals for Calgary, including the cup winning 3rd goal.
Yeah a lot of Rangers fans could not even watch the game because it was blacked out on MSG. You could only watch it on Sports Channel which was a pay cable channel.
Several reasons the 1980 USA team resonates and is remembered so fondly is because it turns out to be a sign of positive change. Team USA did the impossible and beat the communist heathens in decided fashion. Ronald Reagan was the new president and he represented positive change as well. You have to remember that the Vietnam war was a sore subject where the USA got chewed up pretty good by the communists supported by the USSR, and the conflicted ended poorly from the USA perspective. The Soviets and the USA had been fierce competitors since WWII ended, and US Airmen and Soviet pilots engaged one another in Korea. There was a healthy dislike between the two groups, and Jimmy Carter was an idiot that mishandled the mess in Iran, which left the average US citizen feeling unhappy and uncertain of the future. Mr. Reagan actually didn't completely defeat communism until later in the 1980's. Defeat, or push the Communist system to self destruction could be an argument, but the Berlin wall came down in 1988, I believe, which was the big sign that the USSR was KAPUT.
Jimmy Carter was still President in 1980; the game took place a few months after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and while Americans were still being held hostage in Iran.
I think for younger people they confuse the miracle on ice because in the movie they don't show the Finland game they mention it but very briefly but older people if you don't care about hockey they probably just payed attention to the Soviet game and not the Finland game
That’s a great point that I didn’t even know about! I watched the movie but never remembered them showing Finland either.. Should’ve included it in the video!
@@idontgivetkachuk all they show is the banner raising and he says "two days later the miracle was complete beating Finland once again from behind" that's like maybe 15 seconds out of the whole movie you gotta really pay attention
I wouldn't go so far as to say that a gold medal was never on the line for the 1980 game. Winning the game doesn't win you the medal, but losing basically would. It was a round-robin with weird rules, but losing the game was basically a death sentence.
I know this is CFL football and WWE wrestling but the Ottawa Redblacks R is not an original of the Redblacks. In the early 2000s, Edge was called the Rated R Superstar and the R is exactly the same as the Redblacks. Only difference is that the Redblacks put a saw around the R.
The first two were only true on a technicality. The USSR game wasn't just for pride, it was also to win gold, for if the US lost to Finland the next game, the USSR would actually have taken home the gold on goal differential. But also, if the US lost to the USSR, then the USSR would also have taken the gold without a chance for the US. Yes, that game didn't directly give the US the gold, but it was a 4 team tournament to win it, if one team went 3-0 they got gold, if two went 2-1, then the winner is the team with the best goal differential. because the US went 3-0, this is still a gold medal game. the second one with Bourque is also a technicality. As the video stated, it wasn't his first season in Colorado that he won it, but it was his first FULL season in Colorado. When talking about players, it is generally uncommon to consider a player traded at the deadline as there is only a quarter of the regular season left. Ray Bourque specifically would only play 14 regular season games after being traded to Colorado at the trade deadline. So, the technicality lies in people omitting full when describing the season he won the cup. Not really mandella effect, but rather just technical errors.
Just nitpicking but USA finished 2-1-0, since they tied Sweden. But good thing that you know the format of that tournament. Most people think USA-USSR was the semi-final and USA-Finland was the final. But it was like you said, a four team medal round.
@@RoyalMela you're right, small mistake on my end, and the record in the format actually should be 2-0-1, bc it's W-L-T format, but regardless, the point was more about the format of the tournament anyway.
Only reason I remember the us having to beat Finland for gold is because I have “The Making Of A Miracle” Book(I highly recommend, it tell mike eruziones pov through his life, to college, to the Olympics, and after)
Well technically wouldn't Disney's movie Miracle correct the Mandela Effect since it flat out states at the end they defeated Finland for the gold medal? Also the win against Russia could have influenced the game against Finland anyway? I mean you're facing the team that defeated the #1 team in the world. It would be intimidating for Finland and the win against Russia would be a real confidence booster for the US team. I can only speculate because I wasn't alive then and only know what is portrayed in the movie. Though it is extremely accurate since according to the team Disney really did their research before making it.
i coulda swore that fruit of the loom logo had that thing in the back.... maybe i bought a knock off brand or something but im almost certain ive seen that
As a Flyers fan, I always remembered them being the 8th seed in the 2010 playoffs, cause they didn’t make it till the last game. Turns out I was wrong, as they were the 7th seed, and the team they played in the ECF, the Habs were the 8th
Original Calgary Flames of the 1980's???? Original? This was not the Jets or Senators. The team has been continuous since moving from Atlanta in 1980. Or am I suffering from the mandela effect?
The fact that the semi final game against the USSR is remembered far more than the actual gold medal game goes to show how deep rooted the red fear was in America.
I think it was more of the fact that the USSR national hockey team was that best hockey team in the world by far. They would routinely demolish NHL teams they played during the offseason. In 1979, instead of an NHL all-star game they had the Challenge Cup. It was a 3-game series, USSR vs the NHL All-Stars at MSG in NY. The Russians won 2 games to 1.
Also, in 1980, there wasn't a medal round in Men's Ice Hockey. The format was strange, but, effectively, the top 4 teams just played a round-robin and the teams were ranked by their record. The Soviets finished with a Silver Medal, Sweden grabbed the Bronze, and Finland finished fourth.
I have one that I didn’t realise until today when I was going through some of your older videos. You mentioned in one that the Kings won their first Stanley Cup in the mid ‘00s but I could have sworn blind they won it a bunch of times with Gretzky in the 90s. Obviously it’s a case of misremembering but I genuinely had to go and look that one up myself. The human mind is strange at times!
Saying that the 2007 Oilers team was "a really bad team" isn't entirely actuate either. That Patrik Stefan mishap happened in January 2007. Given that the Oilers went to the cup finals in 2006 and missed a playoff spot by only 3 points in 2007, "really bad" is a bit of a stretch. Not that they were "really good" either but it's not like they were a last place team then. I think your Flames fan is showing a little bit in this video 🤣
A real hockey fan knew the truth The Soviets were the team to beat that was the coaches entire focus that’s why everyone thinks they won the gold medal by beating the Soviet which we all know is not true
Don fell down himself. I was asked to be one of the linesman in that game and I told him I would help you out if you got stuck never ever thinking it would really happen
Bro I rly said space race of the 1980s... NICE 😂🤦♂️
also you said the starts won in ot but they actually won in a shootout
also, it was the devils - bruins in the 88 playoffs with the Schoenfeld thing, not Canadiens

But if Chris Farley says the actual line "no I am your father" the audience wouldn't have a clue it's a Star Wars reference so it had to be adjusted for context. It doesn't really prove anything.
The question is why would people think it’s “Luke” and not “no” to begin with with? That’s the entire point. You have millions upon millions upon millions who remember the same line the same way! Not a couple people. I’ve literally never heard ANYONE ever say “no”. Why? Becusse that’s what everybody heard
@@111voodoo Ever seen an optical illusion? Millions upon millions see one thing when it's really another. The fact millions are fooled doesn't prove anything.
"Luke I am your father" doesn't even mesh with the dialogue preceding it. People added it to tie it to Star Wars and repeated it so much they forget the actual line.
False memories, something created accidentally as a error, or misremembering. I just explained the Mandela effect as far as our limitations of knowledge in our current time. Just because millions of people misremember something or believe it doesn’t make it true, millions believe that God created humans perfectly, but a mad scientist decided to tried to this aswell and accidentally created other things that look like and acted perfectly like humans but were actually devils, but thankfully you could tell the difference because the devils had white skin and the “perfect beings from God” had skin that was any other color darker than white. I’ve seen people say this is bogus but can’t disprove it! ....see what I did there? Just because something isn’t actually provable doesn’t mean its true or not, scientifically everything we currently know could be false or a misunderstanding of reality.
When you get into some quantum chances, a very less than 1% chance that the effect is true and some people are from an unknown but parallel universe with the only differences being very minimal or unimportant chances, with rest of the percentage going into an infinite amount of factors like everything being a simulation, aliens lifeforms being the reason, all of anything possible to think of being wrong and the other things I mentioned before in my first sentence, etc.. Your guess could be true, it’s just that to current knowledge its just very very unlikely compared to the vastly more likely scenario that something wrong with us humans are the reason it happened, mostly this comes from the fact human beings aren’t perfect (and I mean absolutely perfect) at information preservation naturally, especially compared to photos or videos. If we were, “r/tipofmytongue” wouldn’t exist (its a place where people go to try and ask others if they remember something they can’t exactly recall but have a vague memory of). Our brains catalog only small bits of whole experiences as to not overload your information processors. Do you think a species that can easily forget something that happened to them or saw 2 minutes ago because they drank a specific liquid or breathed in a certain gas (which even without it, is still not gonna give a perfect description) is also truth worthy of noticing and perfectly recalling if some board game drawing a stereotypical rich dude from when they were 5 had a monocle or not?
Why do I find it so funny that your accent makes Oilers sound like Oiwers?
I remember as a kid I could have sworn seeing a Buffalo sabres player purposely score on his own net. I clearly remember him wearing a green jersey. Years later when I tried googling it, nothing
Uhhh Sabres have NEVER worn green 😂
cool vid man
Even though the 1980 Olympic win isn’t part of the NHL, it’s still a good example of the Mandela Effect in hockey.
Why would it even need to be related to nhl in anyway? What a weird comment.
I have a Mandela Effects as well. It's with Gordie Howie and I remember him saying in an interview that he said he never personally never had a Gordie Howie hat trick in the NHL
Idc what anyone else says, Mandela was hands down the best athlete in all of sports
Mandela was a BEAST !! He was the first to knock out Mike Tyson in the infamous yet still underground jailhouse boxing leagues. He really was a true American hero !!!
@@NIGHTBREED3R He was crazy. I once saw him play a hockey game and a football game at the same time!!
This is going to be crazy
The Steve Smith one sure was eye opening i didn't know it was in regulation play
Brett Hull scoring a goal while his foot was in the crease during the 1999 SCF Game 6 3rd OT seems like this should be on here
But there’s no common misconception or other thought that others have about that moment. They all know it was either in or not.
@@idontgivetkachuk no I am saying that his foot was in the crease which was not allowed
If any fan caught that they would of saved the 1999 Buffalo Sabres
Ah ok
@@ISB97 The league sent out a memo earlier in the season to the teams saying that if the puckhandler still had possession and was in control of the puck that they were allowed to be in the crease therefore the league called it as a goal. The NHL says that since the puck was deflected by Hasek and back to Hull that Hull still had control of the puck and was allowed to be in the crease. You can think it's a stupid rule but it was technically the right call.

amazing video
I didn't know the Varlamov one until I was recently going through some old hockey cards and found one with his name spelled Semen. I thought it was a typo at first
i always call him semen😂😂😂
Mandela Effect = Your memory is malleable and can be easily influenced.
Thanks for the video.
A couple of things you missed.
I remember there was lots of time left in 1986, as the FLAMES almost gave up an own goal in that game in 1986.
I KNEW about how it wasn't the USA's last game of the Olympics in 1980, as I knew they had to play Finland, but I also know that Tretiak had a very high fever that night, as the reason for him being pulled.
Many people seem to remember when the preds went through their 11 rebrand that they had gold helmets, but it wasn't until 14 when they switched from blue to gold, also many remember them having a guitar pick on each shoulder but they never did, they only had one on the right shoulder
Yao Ming's name is Ming Yao. He was just too polite to correct everyone.
Funnily enuff in the original cut of the "No, I am your father scene"
Darth Vader actually says "No Luke, I am your father"
No, he doesn't.
He has always said No, I am your father.
It is int he RADIO version that Vader (Not James Earl Jone's voice) says No, Luke, I am your father
Remember how forgetting something went down was simply you forgetting how something went?
But good ol social media...everyone forgets so let’s call it something
So stupid
Someone recently posted that Wayne Gretzky was the 1st ever draft pick of the Oilers, I can't believe some people think that. Wayne was never drafted in the NHL and his first pro team was the WHA's Indianapolis Racers, his first 2 professional goals were scored against the Oilers.
Odd coinkydink, one of the videos to pop up in my recommendations right after posting this comment. Must be due to all of the Walter Gretzky memorial videos I watched this past week. th-cam.com/video/45ktG7TJ1ww/w-d-xo.html - Wayne Gretzky First Two Pro Goals with the WHA Indy Racers.
Can anyone confirm whether Dustin Byfuglien was ever called 'By-foog-lee-an' or 'By-fug-leen' at any point in his career? Because I swear I remember announcers calling him that back in the day.
Yes, I’m pretty sure Pierre McGuire called him that. Also apparently his mom confirmed it is actually pronounced that way but Dustin just went along with a reporter who said it the way we have come to know it as
@@jasonmartens9142 McGuire is definitely the voice I hear in my head saying it, so that tracks.
His name was butchered
I call him dastin baflin
I always call him “‘Fuglin.”
The bourque one got me.
Lifelong Blues fan. I would have sworn that Yzerman goal from the blue line in the conference finals was on Grant Fuhr. Found out a few years ago it was actually John Casey
Is this true? I'm in the same boat, always thought it was grant furh
@@tendresseak27 it was in the 2nd round. Not the conference finals
@@ObiWannaBrick31 yeah that part also sounded off
The Miracle On Ice didn't end the Cold War, tearing down the Berlin Wall was the beginning of the end of the Cold War. Also, the Space Race was in the 60s, not the 80s.
The Russian goalie had recently got married and was so fucking hung over and so compromise from partying that’s why he was Pulled
Check the pinned comment haha. Caught the mistake myself
The Bearinstain/Bearinstien thing happened because knockoff books would use Bearinstien. So people aren't really misremembering or experiencing the Mandela effect. There really were books out there with both the Bearinstain and Bearinstien name.
You just spelled it wrong again it's Berenstain lol
That Capitals one just blew my mind. 🤯 I could’ve swore it was the L too.
I don't blame people honestly it's a really shitty logo to begin with lol
This is not really Mandela effect, but it also should be noted that Schonfeld never actually pushed the ref. Many have pointed out that the ref just tripped and lost balance. If you watch the clip in slow motion, you can see that being the case.
One misconception I often hear is in regards to Mario Lemieux's cancer diagnosis. Some people refer to Lemieux's comeback in 2000 as when he beat cancer. The cancer was in 1993 midseason. He missed 24 games then came back to win the scoring title. He retired in 1997 and came out of retirement in 2000.
This is not really a Mandela Effect, but as a kid, I saw Mark Messier completely destroy Mike Modano with a hit knocking him out cold. For decades I can picture the hit in my mind. The other day I watch the hit again here on youtube and it looked completely different from how I remembered it. Weird.
Originally Mike Tyson bit most of hollyfields ear right off. The replay today he just chews it a bit...
I remember the NHL logo had the NHL letters slanted the other way from the bottom left to upper right.
The only thing that comes to mind for me is remembering seeing Martin Brodeur flip off the crowd with two hands but apparently that never happened?
Semen Varlamov lol
Alexander Semen
Here I am swearing the other day that Nazeem Kadri started out on the Blues before going to Toronto!
I remember it being Mike Modano that messed up an epic open net goal ! I remember him being dropped by EMT's while strapped to a gurney on live tv and I can still find video of that! Granted they were different games but very memorable Modano moments!!!
LOL one of my moments was the hit Messier put on Modano knocking him out cold. And yes, they dropped him while loading him into the ambulance.
A hurt Modano situation always made me smile as a teenager.
I want to Mandela effect my entire life as a leafs fan especially when Bernier messed that up lol. I know Borque was there a year, my cousins wedding was during game 7 of the 2001 final. My brother and I would skip out of the dance to listen to the game in my parents car from time to time
Also everyone knows that wasn’t the gold medal game. Specially those that watched the movie. But I can see how younger generations would make the mistake. The game against Russia was the only game anyone cared about
The whole Patrick Stefan thing and the Oilers losing the number one pick? That's ridiculous i had never heard that until now. Also it's an empty net!! Obviously the game wasn't tied. Anyway still a cool idea. I can see what he was going for here it just kind of falls flat on anyone with knowledge of hockey.
The calgary one also. alot of ppl think it was in 1989. But it wasnt. Calgary didnt play the oilers when they won the stanley cup in 1989
Another one with the Flames that I see, especially among Flames fans, is that Lanny McDonald's last ever goal was the cup winning goal against Montreal in 1989. His last ever goal *was* in that cup clinching game, and it did give the Flames a 2-1 lead, but the final score of that game was 4-2 Calgary, with Doug Gilmour scoring the last 2 goals for Calgary, including the cup winning 3rd goal.
I suffered from the Mandela effect a lot as well, like the Patrik Stefan example
I was shocked while looking up some of these as well!
Some people claim that Messier promised Game 7 win the SCF, but he actually said it after Game 5 of the ECF in '94.
Yeah a lot of Rangers fans could not even watch the game because it was blacked out on MSG. You could only watch it on Sports Channel which was a pay cable channel.
Several reasons the 1980 USA team resonates and is remembered so fondly is because it turns out to be a sign of positive change. Team USA did the impossible and beat the communist heathens in decided fashion. Ronald Reagan was the new president and he represented positive change as well. You have to remember that the Vietnam war was a sore subject where the USA got chewed up pretty good by the communists supported by the USSR, and the conflicted ended poorly from the USA perspective. The Soviets and the USA had been fierce competitors since WWII ended, and US Airmen and Soviet pilots engaged one another in Korea. There was a healthy dislike between the two groups, and Jimmy Carter was an idiot that mishandled the mess in Iran, which left the average US citizen feeling unhappy and uncertain of the future. Mr. Reagan actually didn't completely defeat communism until later in the 1980's. Defeat, or push the Communist system to self destruction could be an argument, but the Berlin wall came down in 1988, I believe, which was the big sign that the USSR was KAPUT.
Jimmy Carter was still President in 1980; the game took place a few months after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and while Americans were still being held hostage in Iran.
do ranking nhl jerseys
I think for younger people they confuse the miracle on ice because in the movie they don't show the Finland game they mention it but very briefly but older people if you don't care about hockey they probably just payed attention to the Soviet game and not the Finland game
That’s a great point that I didn’t even know about! I watched the movie but never remembered them showing Finland either.. Should’ve included it in the video!
@@idontgivetkachuk all they show is the banner raising and he says "two days later the miracle was complete beating Finland once again from behind" that's like maybe 15 seconds out of the whole movie you gotta really pay attention
I wouldn't go so far as to say that a gold medal was never on the line for the 1980 game. Winning the game doesn't win you the medal, but losing basically would. It was a round-robin with weird rules, but losing the game was basically a death sentence.
what about ryan smyth winning the cup with the kings? i swore this happened in 2011, but apparently it never did.
We should solve all our government world problems with a best of 7 game of hockey.
Another Mandela effect: The ref's name wasn't Kokarsky but Koharsky
Kokarsky actually sounds really weird to me.
A huge recent NHL Mandela Effect is Austin Matthews is now Auston Matthews.
I know this is CFL football and WWE wrestling but the Ottawa Redblacks R is not an original of the Redblacks. In the early 2000s, Edge was called the Rated R Superstar and the R is exactly the same as the Redblacks. Only difference is that the Redblacks put a saw around the R.
How about when Dave Hodge flipped his pen on HNiC then got fired.
Or is that the way it happened?
Geez, I had forgotten about that, can’t trash talk the CBC.
1980 was not the end of the cold war...
Check the pinned comment...
As I remembered Ryan Smyth scored?
The first two were only true on a technicality. The USSR game wasn't just for pride, it was also to win gold, for if the US lost to Finland the next game, the USSR would actually have taken home the gold on goal differential. But also, if the US lost to the USSR, then the USSR would also have taken the gold without a chance for the US. Yes, that game didn't directly give the US the gold, but it was a 4 team tournament to win it, if one team went 3-0 they got gold, if two went 2-1, then the winner is the team with the best goal differential. because the US went 3-0, this is still a gold medal game. the second one with Bourque is also a technicality. As the video stated, it wasn't his first season in Colorado that he won it, but it was his first FULL season in Colorado. When talking about players, it is generally uncommon to consider a player traded at the deadline as there is only a quarter of the regular season left. Ray Bourque specifically would only play 14 regular season games after being traded to Colorado at the trade deadline. So, the technicality lies in people omitting full when describing the season he won the cup. Not really mandella effect, but rather just technical errors.
Just nitpicking but USA finished 2-1-0, since they tied Sweden. But good thing that you know the format of that tournament. Most people think USA-USSR was the semi-final and USA-Finland was the final. But it was like you said, a four team medal round.
@@RoyalMela you're right, small mistake on my end, and the record in the format actually should be 2-0-1, bc it's W-L-T format, but regardless, the point was more about the format of the tournament anyway.
Only reason I remember the us having to beat Finland for gold is because I have “The Making Of A Miracle” Book(I highly recommend, it tell mike eruziones pov through his life, to college, to the Olympics, and after)
I actually knew they won after the game against the Soviets
Well technically wouldn't Disney's movie Miracle correct the Mandela Effect since it flat out states at the end they defeated Finland for the gold medal? Also the win against Russia could have influenced the game against Finland anyway? I mean you're facing the team that defeated the #1 team in the world. It would be intimidating for Finland and the win against Russia would be a real confidence booster for the US team. I can only speculate because I wasn't alive then and only know what is portrayed in the movie. Though it is extremely accurate since according to the team Disney really did their research before making it.
for Halloween, do nhl eerie moments
wait, people think the us won the gold medal in the miracle game?
Yes
i coulda swore that fruit of the loom logo had that thing in the back.... maybe i bought a knock off brand or something but im almost certain ive seen that
I remembered the own goal as being in the division finals 1989 in overtime. Not in 1986 with 15 minutes left in the 3rd.
As a Flyers fan, I always remembered them being the 8th seed in the 2010 playoffs, cause they didn’t make it till the last game. Turns out I was wrong, as they were the 7th seed, and the team they played in the ECF, the Habs were the 8th
You should check out Kane’s goal against Leighton. Total ME
Usa did win gold in 1980 and the soviets were runners up
Yeah but not against the Soviets.
Original Calgary Flames of the 1980's???? Original? This was not the Jets or Senators. The team has been continuous since moving from Atlanta in 1980. Or am I suffering from the mandela effect?
Great music
Thanks man! Hadda add the vibe to it. The dark piano was perfect.
The fact that the semi final game against the USSR is remembered far more than the actual gold medal game goes to show how deep rooted the red fear was in America.
I think it was more of the fact that the USSR national hockey team was that best hockey team in the world by far. They would routinely demolish NHL teams they played during the offseason. In 1979, instead of an NHL all-star game they had the Challenge Cup. It was a 3-game series, USSR vs the NHL All-Stars at MSG in NY. The Russians won 2 games to 1.
Well that’s part of it but I mean people talk about this game as if it was the end of the Cold War.
@@gregsky01 yeah the cold war started to end towards the end of 1980's but did not officially end until the 1991 coup d'tat.
Also, in 1980, there wasn't a medal round in Men's Ice Hockey. The format was strange, but, effectively, the top 4 teams just played a round-robin and the teams were ranked by their record. The Soviets finished with a Silver Medal, Sweden grabbed the Bronze, and Finland finished fourth.
Riddled with inaccuracies and mis-pronunciations!
There was barely anything to mispronounce lmfao.. But ok
I have one that I didn’t realise until today when I was going through some of your older videos. You mentioned in one that the Kings won their first Stanley Cup in the mid ‘00s but I could have sworn blind they won it a bunch of times with Gretzky in the 90s. Obviously it’s a case of misremembering but I genuinely had to go and look that one up myself. The human mind is strange at times!
That Koharski could sure eat a doughnut...
Saying that the 2007 Oilers team was "a really bad team" isn't entirely actuate either. That Patrik Stefan mishap happened in January 2007. Given that the Oilers went to the cup finals in 2006 and missed a playoff spot by only 3 points in 2007, "really bad" is a bit of a stretch. Not that they were "really good" either but it's not like they were a last place team then. I think your Flames fan is showing a little bit in this video 🤣
I was at game 7 in 2001 (1, 2, and 5 as well). Go AVS
Ayy!!
Small correction on the Varlomov bit. The E in russian is pronouced as "ye" so his name is more like "Syemyen"
That is what she said.
A real hockey fan knew the truth The Soviets were the team to beat that was the coaches entire focus that’s why everyone thinks they won the gold medal by beating the Soviet which we all know is not true
Don fell down himself. I was asked to be one of the linesman in that game and I told him I would help you out if you got stuck never ever thinking it would really happen
Always thought Dallas lost that game after that empty net whattt?!!
