What "incident" derailed your teams season?
The Kreider slide into Carey Price in 2014
The Covid shutdown completely derailed the blues season in 2020 by making their momentum come to a screeching halt
Knights player injured sharks player (I forgot both) in game 7 causing a 5 min major and the game
Nottingham Panthers fan here.
Adam Johnsons death.
After that happened the team wasn't bad we are just losing loads.
Not really an incident but the Penguins have never been the same without Fleury :(
"The only issue the team had was scoring"
Thats Price career resumed in a sentence.
if price hadnt of gotten injured vs the rangers, i do believe they had a chance that year, and he probably would still be playing and probably would have dragged the 2021 team kicking and screaming to a cup win. but he was injured and well, they almost had a cup.
The only problem the habs had was a drug addict goalie
@@Samlevine111bro thought people were gonna agree, price carried the habs lmao
And Chris kreider lol. Who knows what would’ve happened if Price played that series
How Chara didn't get suspended from this is beyond me
It was probably an accident but he absolutely should've been out a few games for it
Forgot to mention the police investigation into Chara afterwards! I think we can all agree he wasn’t trying to kill patches or anything but that was one of the dirtiest hits i’ve ever seen in my childhood back then
I was at the bell center. I don't think he wanted to kill him but clearly injure him. I thought he was dead on the ice. The noise it made live in the BC that was attrocius. never seen the BC that silent before
@@charles-williamthouin5353Bullshit. He wasn’t trying to hurt him or anything like that. What he was trying to do was interfere with him so he didn’t get a breakaway. At full speed there is no way a player is going to know exactly where that glass is. It’s a freak occurrence. Chara was never a dirty player
@@Boyso5407 ok.....
@@Boyso5407 Chara was so dirty. Only at high speeds though. He wouldn't fight his way through a wet paper bag.
While you mention the police report remember to say they found absolutely nothing criminal about it 😂
Watched this live when I was 11 years old. We thought he was dead.
The fact that this game has carey price and tim thomas playing and they still scored ao much so fast is insane
A 8-6 game with two of the best goalie of all time (and especially at that time) in net is crazy. Price having a 1.something GAA against the Bruins in the last 6 games before that just to get destroyed lmao
guess his dealer couldn't get into the city to get him his fix
@@joshb6470you think price was juicing or something? LOL
@@beercavetech plays worse than a practice dummy, then takes them to the cup, returns to earth like he's having withdrawals and loses, goes into substance abuse program and then retires without retiring so he still gets the contract, year I think he's has close friends in the PED department and an over all piece of garbage
That's what makes sports fun. You look over two teams and their players and expect a certain kind of game. And then the opposite happens.
No one ever mentions the fact that Chara and Pacioretty had a known rivalry and that that particular game Chara seemed pissed all game.
I still think this was intentional.
100%
Obviously. Chara rides him along the boards, looks up, and purposely shoves him into the edge of the glass. One of the all time dirtiest hits.
Clearly intentional
Prove it!!!!!
@@mattpitre8459 He could've hit him before or after the stanchion. Absolutely classless play by Chara. We've all been around hockey rinks long enough to know where the danger zones are. Especially these guys.
i still don't know to this day why chara didn't have a suspension, but when gallagher made a bad hit he receive 5 five game for his first suspension.
Look no farther than who owns the Bruins, Bettman's big boss. it's why Boston can get away with so much and Marchand can keep doing Marchand things.
@@kwan3560habs and leafs fans always with conspiracies but ignore ones with evidence like the majority of refs being from canada therefore being biased towards them
@@TheSVK Did you even proof read what you write?
“I still don’t know this day why Chara didn’t have a suspension.” Well, you see, it was a clean hit.
Habs fans whining that Bettman is a Bruins puppet is some amazing entitlement. One need look no further than the tripping non call in the 2019 finals to prove this wrong.
You want som cheese with that whine?
@@TheSVKlearn to write English then learn to watch hockey
I love how the goalies fought, laughed it off after and didn’t even get thrown out of the game😂
Part:1 Tension building
Part:2 Ace Up the Sleeve
Part:2 The Incident
I love part 2 the best
Mee too
Mee 2@@MaxGengar
I don't think it was intentional but that Chara hit on Max was the closest thing I've seen to someone being killed in NHL history
You forgot to mention one of the most important pieces to that year, and that was when Max Pacioretty shoved Chara after the OT goal in Montreal. That sparked the February 9th, 2011 brawl game, and made the incident that much more emotional
'FREAK ACCIDENT''? LOLZ. Chara knew what he was doing.
Hockey is a physical sport. Of course Chara was trying to do some damage, but not take him out for the season
@@RobTalksHockey you think kindly of chara lol
Considering that hit set a precedent. I don't think he could've predicted that outcome in the moment
"Inflict damage" you mean playing fine line between injury and career ending injury :D
@@patrik2199either you don’t know what ur talking about or your a delusional leaf’s fan who hates everything about boston's
pretty much every time in the last 20+ years that montreal would have made a cup run, a big player would get injured and they would lose, max in this series, koivu when they played carolina, and price when they played new york, and if that injury vs new york never happened, montreal might have won 2 cups during prices time with the habs.
Tim Thomas's save on Gionta in 2OT in game 5 saved the Bruins' season
Looking back its insane how good Price was with the roster around him. As a fan of a division rival of both teams having very different roster constructions constantly having these battles was super fun. Definitely went too far at times though
So good that they won 0 cups 🤡
Bruins fan here. man those were the days. that was a great rivalry. back in the day we could easily see 2 fights or more in a game and it would get nasty. it was no exaggeration that the penalty boxes would be full and the player benches had 3 foot gaps between guys sitting on the bench. what happened to these games...?
Youre the problem smd
It's the kind of freaky hit you knew was always possible, but never really expected to happen. It's especially bad that it was such a size difference between Chara and Pacioretty. He's honestly lucky he didn't kill him.
It wasnt an accident. Chara gave him a forearm to the back of his head.
You don't expect it to happen because usually players don't try to behead each other on the ice.
Thanks for the vid :)
What an amazing story told beautifully.
These videos about how one incident made so big impact on larger scale are fascinating stuff.
I stg the song at 0:41 is the same song as some old game I used to play with this shark submarine. Unlocked some sort of hidden memory
007 goldeneye theme!
I was in attendance and they had to hold people next to us in the stands that wanted to jump on the ice.
I remember watching that live as a kid, it was scary.
What’s the song you put for part one?
Golden Eye 007 N64 pause theme
Thank you 🙏
Darude - Sandstorm
The Habs also had some bad blood with the Rangers since one of their players injured Price and some people blame this incident for his downfall.
Chara being a dumbass and almost killing someone won them a cup.
He didn't have the puck, guilty. Should have been a suspension
This hit still haunts me to this day
0:35 its me😮😂
Bruins announcers man lol
Boston is the team with most leeway with the league its ridiculous
That “I didn’t see a penalty” call is the kind of shit that makes me despise Boston sports coverage… that said, I tend to dislike coverage that gets too homer in general. You can give them more attention, but don’t ever spin the play by play like that. Good team,but damn is their coverage tilted towards ass kissing the home teams
NESN is absolutely the worst in the business about this. Brick is Marchand's personal excuse machine.
100%. A Bruin can literally Mcsorely a guy across the forehead and the commentators will say some dumass thing like, "Ohhh what a shot to the midsection!"
Golden Eye music 0:37
He always plays goldeneye music!
Sounded like a gunshot in the rink, went around the whole stadium and nothing but silence for a moment
Added detail : The incident got to the fans so much that some of them called the police to arrest Chara.
It's ridiculous to call Rome's hit late when chara did this after 5 seconds have passed since the guy was even close to the puck. He skated through almost 2 zones...🤷
Freak accident?
I miss seeing Carey price do cool saves
I'm sure Jack Edwards thinks it was a perfectly clean hit
I remember watching this serie man 😅 go habs go
He could have easily been a perennial 40 goal scorer if he had better centres around him.
mate the knights did not sweep the jets, the jets won the first game then lost 4 straight to the knights
That was their regular season series
I saw that live. That hit was disgusting to watch
Big daddy pacioretty is my king 👑
Damn I don’t even watch hockey and I watched more clips of that and that was so clearly intentional lmao that dude tried to kill guy
7:35
ngl Columbus, just man.
Only reason the low life Bruins won the cup that year was because of that dirty hit
Haha... Chara pushed him into the glass and knew exactly what he was doing.. Did he mean to seriously injure him? NO.. he did intend to hurt him
8:19 why the goalie do that
A Brad Marchand slew foot goes unpunished again. Could be an NHL theme song.
Max pac was never appreciated by the Montreal media , he was elite for years and never got the credit ,loved Max pac in Montreal but he should of never been captain , they would never embrace his as one of them .
I don't think it was an accident, Chara intended to do that, but he didn't expect Patch to be this hurt.
Chara meant to take him out of the play but not send him into that area
@@broadstreetbullies849 Yeah sure. Flyers fan eh? Your team is no better.
@@MikePurdue-ky9pm what does that have to do with anything?
@@broadstreetbullies849 Philly was the greasiest team to exist for decades. Till the Bruins decided to step up and steal the title. What does it have to do with anything? Flyers and Bruins fans are cut from the same cloth.
@@MikePurdue-ky9pmI wasn't alive for the Broad Street Bullies (despite my name) and I wasn't born until the end of the dead puck era. So other than sometimes Chris Pronger and Zach Rinaldo, we haven't had anyone overly dirty in my time of watching these guys. And you're also forgetting about the fact that the Leafs were very greasy in the early 2000s with Darcy Tucker and especially Tie Domi
Biggest story should be lucic use to score goals
Montreal really had the right guys that year. It's a shame the bruins destroyed their chance at a cup, with a filthy disgusting criminal intent to injure like this. Like they always always always do.
As a Canucks fan who had to witness our heartbreaking loss against the Bruins in the finals of that year, I really wish that we could have played against you guys in the finals instead
Even if we were to still loose the pain wouldn’t have been as bad as it was with Boston
@@ProvingBeatle16 A Luongo-Price matchup in the finals would've been so good, two Canadian teams too.
That year was hab’s cup for the taking smh
clean hit btw
Freak injury? Chara knew what he was doing.
Whether Chara "knew what he was doing", it was still a freak injury
@@RobTalksHockey Getting hit by lightning is a freak injury. What Chara did was intentional.
@@moehawken3991yes it’s called throwing a hit. It’s part of hockey. Chakra wanted to take him out of the play to prevent a scoring chance not almost kill the guy. So yes freak injury
@@davidwaxter66 To be clear, it's called throwing a dirty hit with the intent to injure
@@davidwaxter66 Chara wanted too "take him out of the play" forever and ever so that he'd never be able to score ever again
Accident? Not quite. Was Chara trying to kill him? No, but was it dirty and he knew it? Yes. Hes a grown man who plays hockey for a living he knew what he was doing lets not kid ourselves
Yeah that was intentional. And saying it was an accident just sounds like a Bruins commentator, cause we all know they're not biased 😂
what? Suzuki was leftie??
It was not an accident, Chara did it on purpose. he knew very well what was doing.
That was no accident 😂
Yeah Chara was trying to behead him. Totally. Get your head out of your ass
So the hit alllll happened because need save
Of course Chara meant to hit him ... are you guys completely stupid ? Saying " He did it on purpose " sounds so stupid 😂 But anyone who says he meant to break his damn neck has just turned their brain off completely.
Intent to injure is intent to injure. Have you turned your brain off completely?
Chara should have been kicked out of the NHL .
I still hate Chara to this day
“Freak injury” ~ other guy tried to kill him. 🤷🏻♂️
Nobody likes the Bruins
Go Habs
Im a leafs fan but Montreal is my third favorite team
You're a Leafs fan, who likes the Habs. Yeah you're stupidity checks out. Lemme guess, your number 2 is Ottawa?
So how this Freak Injury Forever Changed NHL History?
The way the boards are shaped, also the Bruins beat Montreal in the first round that year as Pacioretty didn't play
@@broadstreetbullies849 LOL. How did the way boards are shaped change history? How did Pacioretty not playing in the 1st round change history? Had he played, would Montreal have won? How can you know? Is that a fact? That's just a nonsense speculation or an assumption. That Pacioretty didn't play changed shit
@@sst6601 that's the thing, we don't know. But I definitely think he could've done damage
@@broadstreetbullies849 exactly, we don't know. And if we don't know that means the history wasn't changed
@@sst6601that's not how it works... but you do you
Chara did that 100% on purpose. It was deliberate and intentional! Chara should have been jailed for what he did!
Chara is not responsible for poor design on the boards and they were were redesigned after, that was the only change
Cool so if I hold your head against train tracks while the train smashes it, should I blame the train design?
@@philtess3126more like you can push OP onto the train tracks and if a train happens to be there, it’s cool
@@DavidVandemark lol funny joke. That's gonna hold up in court lol
Shawn Thornton never was sent out to bait anybody into a fight. Julien always rolled 4 lines.
He had his most ice-time in the first period where he was trying to bait a fight. In the second and 3rd when the game opened up, he was basically benched. Also there is nothing wrong with this, the game called for it
@@RobTalksHockeyHey Rob. Thanks for the reply. Love your videos. Again, I'm going to have disagree. This isn't me looking back through the tape and trying to match up ice time and all that. I'm a lifelong Bruins fan who was watching every game back then. Thornton was never put on the ice to try to bait someone into a fight. Julien just did not employ him that way. There was no need. And of course his ice time was going to decrease throughout the series when more scoring was necessary. Besides that, as a fan, the rivalry at that time was magical. All the ups and downs, the pure hatred, the skills and the villains on both sides. Pure magic!
@@ryanhoarty1464this whole ordeal reminds me of what Craig Ramsay did in 2000 with the Flyers. He rolled 4 lines. In the 5OT game, it felt like Kent Manderville was taking 75% of the faceoffs once we hit the 2nd OT. The 4th line was a tough line for them
@@broadstreetbullies849A great 4th line can be demoralizing to the opponent. We in Boston still proudly remember the Shawn Thornton line as The Merlot Line in reference to their practice jerseys.
@@ryanhoarty1464absolutely helps
Carey price and Tim Thomas never really threw fists, if they did, Thomas would have been in serious trouble. I dont think Price even hit him, if i remember correctly, he definitely could have, he held his fist above Thomas's face, holding it there, like are u sure u want me to drop this?? Price seen it as more of a joke, and Thomas must have been pissed, because he really wanted to fight!!! lol. This game was awesome. That hit by Chara was brutal, I was soooo pissed. Im pretty sure Chara did this to someone else too.
Tim Thomas would've kicked his ass without all those pads
@@broadstreetbullies849 LOL, stfu! Price handed him his ass at least twice. U should share that crack, it's fuckin up ur brain...
@@broadstreetbullies849 you're such a troll go home.
@@broadstreetbullies849where do these absurd tales come from? Make yourself useful and get that awful commentator some speech lessons
@@beercavetech Tim Thomas was an absolute psycho if he wanted to be. I think Carey gets an early advance but the adrenaline gives Thomas an advantage
I'm not sure which hits worse, this one of the Lemieux hit on Kris Drapper. Both were dirty.
Always great to see the habs lose.
Marchand is still doing that kind of dangerous penalty along the boards.
Less often now, but very much yes…
looks to me like peaches decided (at 5'2 and 110 pounds or whatever he is who cares it's the equivalent to Tyson vs jake paul) it was a smart move to put himself between a rock and a hard place, had he had the hockey IQ of a timbits player he would have left that lane clear, what a chump
It's funny how Canadians will riot over a hockey game but not for the government tearing their country apart
Here's the thing about that. After a hockey game, there aren't 500 RCMP holding automatic weapons, or riding on horses.
When there's a protest and the government knows why we're angry, they send those.
I watched this. It wasn’t an accident Chara knew those boards had glass there and still put him there. It was 100% dirty and I lost all respect for chara that day.
Whiney Habs fans calling 911
Didn’t change history just redesign of the glass end post. Now bruins at the top of the league and Mtl near the bottom
Did you even watch this video? Lol
1. Carey Price was a beast.
2. Canadians fans crying it was intentional is pathetic.
3. That Canadian team was a flopping penalty bating team #8 in PPG, #20 in EV goals. That shit don't translate in playoff hockey where refs swallow their whistles. Sure they might of got past the Bruins but they never would of got past the Lightning, it took the the Bruins a miracle to beat them.
The amount of people that still think chara did this on purpose is laughable
I know right
@@broadstreetbullies849 what’s funny is chara isn’t a dirty player and was playing defense
It was just an unfortunate accident that the end of the glass happened to be there
@@zaneps151 exactly. The Montreal police didn't charge him for a reason
Yet you probably think Matt Petgrave meant to do what he did.
@@MikePurdue-ky9pm which time? When he left his feet to hit a guy? When he put out his elbow Jacob Trouba style? When hit someone in the head who was bent over? Yeah those sound intentional to me
I have love for patches, but he was an incredibly overrated player.
I never forgave NHL for that hit and never will. Chara was the captain who had the honor to receive the cup by the comissionneer this year. Such a disgrace!!! NHL is just SO bad for our sport. They ALWAYS refuse to punish cheap shots, ALWAYS.
It wasn't on purpose my guy
@@broadstreetbullies849 Absolutely false, but still a funny comment.
@@AviLOrkQ Chara intended to hit Pacioretty but not into that area. There's a reason Montreal police didn't charge him with anything my boy
Your videos are cleverly crafted and well thought out, but i need to be a little bit critical.
Your cadence of speech is borderline unlistenable at times. Not b/c you are saying dumb things but because you use WAY too many coordinating conductions and you emphasize them WAY too much. Not trying to be a dick here but when you do stuff like this it breaks the listeners concentration on the topic and focuses it on how that sounded a little strange.
Keep making your vids bro, but i advise you to have someone listen to or read your script before you start rifling it off. There is great substance here you just need to refine your words more.
I still hold my breath anytime I see someone get hit in that area of the ice/boards. When you think of 'dirty' NHL hits this isn't usually the first to come to mind.. and probably isn't the most egregious in intent, but it is still one of the grossest hits I have ever seen. It is laughable that a scenario in which the POLICE had to investigate warranted no discipline from the NHL.
I mean sure they were 3 good draft picks but they have done fuck all and have nothing to show for it… championship contention doesn’t mean shit championships do
Thanks for explaining ⅔ to us
