RIP Eddie Shack. I guess hockey games in Heaven were getting boring and they needed a player to shake things up.
RIP Eddy Shack. You were the greatest entertainer and a good hockey player

Another childhood icon gone..Thank you Mr.Shack for the wonderful memories.

Shout out to Chiclets
I saw Mr. Shack up close from the first row of seats at an old timers game in 1998. He was the referee.
Ha ha me too! used to run for the bus yelling "Clear the track for Eddie Shack!"
Yep me as well and when I got older(early 70's it was the "drunk walking across Parkway Plaza on my way home" song. Followed by "Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz lol.
Rest in piece Eddie shack
Who else is here after Eddie's passing, we will always remember you Eddie!
He will be missed. Thanks for caring
We will stay in our hearts and never leave them
RIP Eddie! Thanks for those 4 Stanley Cups.
I met him about 15 years ago. Very nice man!
Eddie later went on to form one third of the legendary Shack-Schock-Schinkel line with the Pens in the early 70's.
R.I.P, look out for John Ferguson.
That would have been tough having to tangle with Fergie .
Eddie was something!... first game I ever went to at Chicago Stadium 62-63.. Eddie comes up out of the dressing room for the warm up and dropped a puck, took a slapshot and that puck went the entire length of the Stadium ice and hit the glass on a fly!.. you talk about being impressed!..."THOSE WERE THE DAYS! WOW
Crackers2549 wow I met Eddie Shack in a sauna
Thoughts and prayers to The Entertainer and his family.😪😪
I'm old enough to have seen Eddie play (a living dinosaur I know). RIP big guy. You put the ENTERTAINMENT in hockey.
RIP Eddie.
RIP
clear your eyes here comes the tears ;(
One of my two favorite players growing up the other was Terry sawchuk 1963 _ 64 was the first year I watched hockey I was six at the time watching my two favorite players playing against each other for stanly cup .I also was very happy that summer toronto got Terry sawchuk from Detroit.
I'm a bit younger than you it seems, I don't remember Terry Sawchuk as well as I rememberJohnny Bower, he was my hero. I was also an Eddie Shack fan, I remember the fans chanting, we want Shack, we want Shack!
i remember eddie shack when the leafs would come to boston in the 60's and then he was with the bruins for a while. he was always fun to watch.
Anybody remember a night at the Garden when Reggie Fleming beat up John Hanna, socked goalie Jack McCarten and in one of the funniest hockey moments ever, with stick still in hand, chased Shack to the other end of the ice, before finally dropping it and pummeling good old Eddie. Nobody really hurt, but the blue seats shook.
Best Leaf EVER
Pop shop Eddie Shack ! One of the greats !
Eddie Shack, the most entertaining player of all time.
What are you thinking, Eddie was a drunk. Bobby ORR the most entertaining.
Not easy being a left shot on right wing. Pivotal player as to winning Stanley Cups.
My grandpa once talkedto Eddie on the phone before
He was a nice guy. I talked to him a bunch of times too!
"Does he play right wing, or left" I just looked him up on hockey db, it says he's a forward...lol
One of my favorites as a kid living in Pittsburgh. My dad had season tickets. Eddie's speed and agility were amazing. RIP
There were times in the 1970's, after he came back to the Leafs, that he was the only thing Leafs fans could cheer for. When the Leafs would be losing again, we used to chant, "we want Shack", we want Shack!". The coach would put him out there and he would skate around like a maniac. Lol. The fans would go insane. And he was just as much of a character guy off the ice too!
"Old Time Hockey"..........(Slap Shot).
NPR BRU Boston Only A Game Brought me here.
That's pretty cool that they put this video on their website!
Didn't this song reach number one on the Canadian top 40 charts and make it into the top 20 in the U.S.?
I know it reached number one on 1050 CHUM AM (now TSN 1050 Radio) here in Toronto. I was a kid then, I remember it. I don't know what airplay it got in the States though.
Ahhh the good ole days. Seems like yesterday. 🏒
RIP Eddie! ♥ You made hockey fun.
Miss those days,Eddie was awesome.He had a coffee shop around the same time as Tim Horton.Used to stop there on the way to work.Nice memory.Thank you!
He used to live a few blocks from me, I would see him outside a lot when I went on walks. I miss him too. I told him I uploaded this video, he was so happy. He even had them play it on Breakfast Television on CityTV when they had him on.
@@JeffTheLeafsFan Very cool memory,glad to hear.Thank you,small world...
@@JeffTheLeafsFan Very cool,part of our culture.that some have forgotten...
Sad to hear Eddie passed away,Still remember when he was at my minor hockey banquet in Welland,funny guy!
RIP Eddie shack
RIP. Great memories.
He has a nose for business!!!! Thank you for being from Sudbury Mr. Entertainer 🏒🏒🏒🏒
I met Eddie Shack in the late 90's at St.Louis Bar and Grill on Young St, he was such a Great Guy!!! so nice to me and my friends,RIP Eddie Shack you will be missed!!!!
Old time hockey. Buddy Shore.
RIP to one of the all time greats
My buddy Gord sitting in local bar half drunk suddenly notices Eddie Shack sitting on bar stool beside him. Gordie a true blue leaf fan says " WOW !!! Eddie Shack...Eddie I wanna shake your hand ". Eddie squished Gords hand so hard it was sore for 2 weeks lol
Any proof or just rumours?
zack monday your mean
And that is not true
Ps you spelled Eddie wrong
That sounds like Eddie!
My mother taught me to sing this song.. I followed my father in cheering for the HABS
I Just Met Eddie Shack This Past Weekend !!! What A Cool Dude !!!
I remember this, at one time there was a CBC Hockey Night in Canada video of Eddie's high lights set to this song.
Win game 5 for Eddie shack
RIP Eddie sack
RIP Eddie Shack
He came and did a Hockey School with Larry Mickey in Southern California for my team when I was 12 years old. His personality and charisma mesmerized me. He was a smash hit with all the parents tool RIP Mr. Shack. Thank you for being such a nice man.
He lived a few blocks from me, I would see him at times when I went for walks. He was so happy that I uploaded this song, I miss him.
I was amazed when I heard Austin Matthews came from Arizona. Nice to see so many American players in the NHL.
A beaut song!
This and 50 mission cap are the two greatest songs about nhl players ever!
Definitely!
RIP Eddie
I saw him at, The Barrie Raceway, yup, with Erica from Much Music.
That's cool!
RIP Eddie
Rest in peace...
Saw Eddie Shack play when he was with the Kings.
That's cool!
Chiclets sent me here. RIP Eddie
RIP EDDIE. Hopefully he will see the leafs in the cup in heaven
Is this the original song , I think so , my sister says no ??
It is the original song, and I'm old enough to remember it be played on 1050 CHUM in Toronto when I was a kid.
Jeff's Various Videos same here Jeff !!
My grandfather and Eddie Shack are friends
Shack was my favourite as a kid. I HAD to have 23 on my jersey.
Mike Anderson mines too
There was a compilation done each year... a person was heading to the penalty box... Sensations... "Let me in".
Anyone remember when 1050 CHUM used to have a "hockey witch", they would call to cast spells on any team that was playing Toronto? It was all done in fun, and the "witch" had a character voice. I still have my CHUM BUG member card somewhere.
Go get em' Eddie.
I'll always remember Ed on "King of Kensington'. How's 'bout anybody else, here?
He also had a cameo in Wayne & Shuster's Julius Caesar sketch!
RIP, Eddie
that is an illegal ass curve on that lunchbox
It's not illegal till the refs find out ;-)
Rest in rowdy peace.
Eddie's happy.......Kings win CUP
Wasn't this song written by Brian MacFarlene, later a CBC/NBC analyst??
altfactor yes
He gave me his stanley cup he brought with himself for the 1967 stanley cup final
So you own the Stanley Cup now? Impressive!
RIP Eddie shack we will all miss you
Eddie Shack is my favourite Ice Hockey Player
Fergie is waiting. Godspeed
One time, the opposing goaltender was knocked out and a stretcher was brought on the ice. As the attendants were gingerly running down the ice Eddie hopped on the stretcher and used his stick as a paddle making like he was in a canoe. A true entertainer, not like the majority today's players who are walking talking individual multi-million dollar bland corporations that say nothing colorful or interesting.
Shoutout to Dangle.
MisterPriceTag, do you have the "B" side to this 45, "Warming the Bench"? I always thought it was the better song, and would love to hear it again. :)
9 years late, but here ya go! th-cam.com/video/6sdJ8irc9Lg/w-d-xo.html
thx
Your pretty good yourself . Thank you for repping Canada with your music . I'm faithful from the Peg :)
I imagine one of the first people Eddie visits will be Imlach. Eddie will be needling him and Punch will be rolling his eyes telling Shack to get the hell away from him. I bet Punch secretly enjoys it though. Eddie may even teach him how to pronounce "Mahovlich". Thanks for the memories Eddie, you were one of the great ones.
What about meeting you Thurston Howell III, what about you?
@@JeffTheLeafsFan Lovey and I will give Eddie a chance to settle in before calling. I'm sure he'll want to meet his old NHL pals and close friends before he receives a visit from the Howells. Thanks for asking.
And he gave it to me👍🏻!!
Rip Mr Shack!!
Ken Schinkel coached my son here in Florida. Great guy too.
There's a name I haven't heard in years!
Love Eddie Shack. One of the Leafs all time fan favourites. Nobody treated fans better than Eddie. May he Rest In Peace.
That's 100% right, I miss the guy, and Johnny Bower too.
@@JeffTheLeafsFan Totally agree. Johnny Bower is the definition of class. Another legend like Eddie, who always had time for fans and understood how special it was for fans to meet their hockey idols. I met Johnny as a kid at a Newmarket Saints game. He was kind enough to sign my Newmarket Saints mini goalie stick.
@@SuperStrik9 That's cool!
Rest in peace .
I sure do remember this song! I was 14 when it was on the radio! It is a really fun little song. I still like it! I am almost sixty now and a grandma of two!
God Bless you Buddy
bought a xmas tree at cedervale mall in 1999 from eddie all i can say is hahahahah. he is the best

God bless
