Love watching these old clips. Have really been into it lately. No question players nowadays are faster and more skilled but they have the benefit of equipment technology advances, modern nutrition and training regiments, etc., but watching these clips really gives you an appreciation for the raw talent these guys had.
I listened to this series on am radio at night in chicago.Night time was fantasy time for young hockey fane.Picked up a lot of out of town games,got real fami9liar with Danny Gallivan,IMHO the greatest hockey voice of all time..And we had LLoyd Pettit in Chicago.What a great time for hockey!
I realize now after viewing some of these old games from the 60's, that I am finally watching the great stars my father had talked about. In my earliest memories, most had retired or were in the final twilight of their careers. Me and my brother would be watching some mid 70's hockey game, and my father would comment about this former All Star on the bench; rumured to be retiring after the season, or this coach who was once one of the Blue and White's best. While we often had their hockey cards, they just remained unknown faces, for we had our share of Orr's, Sittler's and Lafleurs to cheer on. Seeing these players now allows me to finally resonate within the memories of my fathers stories. This is special for me indeed. Thank You.
Big M laid a Gordo elbow on Harper like a charm. Thought he got hit by a train to Saskatoon. This is the hockey I grew up on. Those goals that the Leafs were able to score in those come from behinds the previous Cup winning seasons just didn’t materialize. I thought my Hawks had a chance in the Finals until the Habs Hammered them at the Forum 4-0 in game 7. That one was over after 14 seconds.

Habs won the cup that spring...it was my first Stanley Cup Parade down St. Catherines Street. I jumped on the back of Beliveau's car and got his autograph....i was 10 years old...remember it well...now i am 65 ...lol...moved to Vancouver in 1978...we don't have Stanley Cup parades here....we have a statue of Roger Neilson waving a surrender flag outside the rink....it will continue to jinx Vancouver for decades to come in my opinion...lol...
When Jo0hn Ferguson and Ted Harris showed up for the Habs,it was the end of teams roughing up the cahadiens smallish forwards any more.Those two guys could fight!
I found the Forum and Gardens to be very quiet compared to the American buildings in Boston, Chicago, Detroit and NY. The crowd involvement was very restrained in those days in Montreal and Toronto
I had the pleasure as a youngster to watch games with my dad in both of those arenas - The Forum and MLG. Fans were noisy when it was appropriate. Canadians understand the game. Prior to expansion, yes, die hard American fans understood the game too but Americans are different people..noisier too. Now I’m not sure if our American friends really understand what they are watching. They go for entertainment outside of hockey - tee shirts being thrown in the crowd, contests for free Pizza. Despite Syd and Connor, Austen and Ovi, hockey lost its purity a long time ago. But great memories to watch this.
In the late 1960’s through early 1980’s, before goal horns and deafening pre-recorded rock music, my experience says the Chicago Stadium and the St. Louis Arena were the loudest 2 venues in the NHL.
While "Hockey Night In Canada" didn't carry regular-season games in their entirety until 1968 (joining games in progress), I think they carried playoff games in full from start-to-finish from the 1950's-onward. I suspect the whole game was televised, but a videotape or kinescope of the first portion of the game may no longer exist.
Ahhh...there was nothing I liked more as a kid than enjoying a game at the gardens...from the green seats....I can relate to Mr. Ellis`s issues with shyness and a speech impediment and his later battle with depression....but in the day there was nothing better than seeing Ronnie Ellis flying down the right wing and letting go that low slap shot.
Missed the 3 stars; I don't know about the other two, but I thought Henri Richard was miles ahead of anyone else. Almost seemed like he played more'n half the game.
@@bigbadbruins1You are entitled to your own opinion. However, you should become more informed. (Toe Blake turned down Jacques Plante's request to wear a mask during games for fear that it would impair his vision. However, after a shot from Rangers player Andy Bathgate broke Plante's nose in a game on November 1, 1959, Blake finally relented.)

No ads on the ice rink nice and clean, now they have ads everywhere even on the helments, Out BH.
Owners had to recoup all the money they lost by finally paying players their fair share.

Quel qualités de jeu et le CH avait du coeur au ventre!!!
En effet.
Et dire que plusieurs prétendent que les anciens joueurs patinaient moins vite.
Mon oeil.

I was two weeks old when this game was played.

Geeziz, the Forum ice looked so Huge back then😮Jack in Ottawa 🇨🇦
1965 was the first time the Stanley Cup was in May love hearing Danny again

Andy a la carte I attended my first game at the Forum that season on Dec 26 , 1964 and have a long time fascination of the Canadiens from that era.

Awesome video
Great video.
all games i watched back then when live on tv
Awesome game.
Great hockey.
Danny Gallivan, Montreal's CBC play by play announcer.

Vancouver was even quieter! Hence the name Pacific Mausoleum, instead of Colosseum. Chicago Stadium was something NEVER to be equalled for fan noise!

There is a youtube of a HIC coverage of a 1959 leafs bruins playoff game from Boston garden that started at beginning of the second period

Agreed. Ronnie Ellis played Some of his Best Hockey, in 1972 in the Summit series, with Team mate Paul Henderson, and Bobby Clarke.
Paul Henderson was born on a train, I remember this from his hockey card.
Ted Harris, Dickie Moore, Jim Roberts, Ted Harris, Carl Brewer, Talbot...all early StL Blues.
I like this camera angle at the forum. You don't have people standing up in front of the camera.
Out with a “slight” concussion ..doctors are sure he will be back next game 😂
Missed the 3 stars; I don't know about the other two, but I thought Henri Richard was miles ahead of anyone else. Almost seemed like he played more'n half the game.
Bob Baun était très bon. Je ne sais pas pour ses statistiques, mais j'aime bien son style de jeux.
26:57 Remember that scene from Youngblood? "Ding ding. Paging Dr Sutton".
Baun v Ferguson. Classic 😺
April 1 and a semi-final game? How times have changed.
Well back then the semi-finals was round one, so it's not that different.
In 2023 -24 the regular season ends on April 18 , yes times have changed
In 2023 -24 the regular season ends on April 18 and the season ends in June, back in 1965 the season was over by May 1
I’m only 15mins in.....where’s Beliveau??
ron ellis played it save,had a helmet back then
First time. on aline with Frank M,,,,,pretty shy there Ron!
20:00 in former linemates Beliveau and Moore off for high sticking.
1965 and the Habs still have brown gloves🤔
It was the last season with the brown gloves!
@@Canam19 Thanks Canam19👍Its funny how the Rnagers and Bruins , had colored gloves, years before 65😁
I didn't know know Frank Mahovlich played for Toronto back then
Max Headroom Frank was one of 25 players who played for 1/2of the original 6 teams in their careers..
Max Headroom the big M rumor was punch offered him a million dollar contract to play for leafs.
A big part of the team
@@Darkwell0071 I thought it was Chicago that offered a million for him. Punch was not know for lucrative offers.
Mahovlich gave a head shot to Harper @ 12mins. Didn't think he was that kind of player.
With only six teams, they played each other often. Could have been a payback for something from months previous!!!
Go to Montreal
Canadiens won the series 4 games to 2 on the way to the Stanley Cup 🍶
Ron Ellis missed more empty nets than anyone I know.
Goalies were crazy.No masks.lol
It wasn't so much that the goalies were crazy, it was their coaches, who did not believe in masks (especially Toe Blake).
@@mmagic3534 coaches had no say if a goalie could wear a mask

This can't be hockey. Where are all the adds along the boards?
At the time it dinnet
No adds but lotsa subtractions! :P
Or Helmets and Masks ? 😂
ah ha Leafs shitting their pants at Ferguson
Ahhh there was nothing I liked more than the Habs kicking the leafs butt again.
After the Leafs kicked theirs pretty good the previous 3 years!!
Who kicked butt in 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1967?
bowen yells like were to stupid to except a leaf goal.the leafs will never wina cup with bowen yelling like that
The amazing thing is that you've already edited your comment and look at it !
@@stephenp.6395 Yup! Mentally CHALLENGED! Many like him around!
