My dad saw Henri Richard at his tavern in Montreal. He couldn't stop staring, and the Pocket Rocket gave him a wink. What a legend.
Very underrated player thank you for this
A career video where the only thing I know about the player going in is his nickname.
11 Stanley Cups in 20 years..... not bad
These videos are great for fans like myself who only started watching hockey recently (2006 in my case) and never got to see these players play. It’s nice to be educated on hockey before the 2000s. Keep em coming Shannon :)
Exactly. I'm kicking myself over the fact that I only began to follow NHL in my early twenties around 2014 and missed so much stuff that happened in the early 2000's and before. But Shannon's videos have brought me up to speed 👍.
Henri broke my heart in 1971, scoring the Cup winning goal in game 7 against my (then, at age 10) beloved Blackhawks. RIP 🙏
me too i thought we had it then it was gone...
Don't feel too bad. Henri and the Habs also broke the hearts of the Bruins along the way.
The other day Shannon did a video where he said he admired the "little guy" that could make it in the NHL, I think H.Richard was the prototype for small players who could "make it"!!!!!!! Safe to say his record of 11cups will stand forever. Great video as usual Shannon, thanks.
Thank you for this historical reminder. It was with great emotion that I watched your presentation. The blood flowing in my veins is red, white and blue and that brings back so many beautiful memories to a time when our brains couldn't even imagine that the Stanley Cup would not be on Ste-Catherine Street every year. Thank you so much!
Henri Richard won as many cups in his career as the entire Red Wings franchise has in their existence.
That's wild.
Judson Skinner and the Red Wings have the most among American based teams
Yes, and they are third overall after Toronto.
Judson Skinner that why specified American based lol leafs haven’t won since 1967 so does it actually count lmao
11- rings he's the Bill Russell of the NHL.
No, Bill Russell is the Henri Richard of the NBA.
Being an older fan seen so many games of Richard I took it for granted.
"Bit over 1000 points at 1200, maybe not hall of fame numbers" narrative forgets when he was elected. He was top 20 all time scorer when he retired, equal to to Thorton at this moment (plus some cups...)
One Montreal executive said that game in game out Henri was their MVP in those years. Always gave 100%, so tough and relentless. Always controlling the puck, and you couldn't get it away from him.
Didn’t see the Rocket play but I remember watching Henri on tv. He was very skilled skating with the puck. Heads up player!
Shannon have you considered watching older games of Richard, Kelly, Lindsay, and all the Greats of the 1950's/60's/70's?
good tribute guy!
This is my favourite video you’ve made! Thanks for honouring the pocket Richard
Maybe he wasnt an elite scorer, but with that said, 11 stanley cups dont just fall around your fingers.
Well 11 rings certainly dont go on your fingers. Litterally.
RIP the pocket rocket🙏
Fantastic! Thanks Shannon
I'm old enough to remember him playing with his brother on TV (Hocky Night in Canada) televised nationally on Saturday Nights. I was a teenager at the time living in Edmonton with my parents and siblings. It was a thrill to watch him play. Thanks for the presentation.
20 seasons, 350 goals, 1000+points, most games every in a Montreal uniform, captain of the team, 11 yes ELEVEN Stanley Cups (means over 20 years he only lost 9 times) ... and yet he is known as the Younger Brother of Maurice Richard.
Henri was the person who started the " I CAN PUT RINGS ON MY TOES' thing...... lol
To my knowledge he’s been one of the few to achieve it lol
Last time I was this early, I couldn't think of anything to say!
I love this! Go Habs from England 🏴
Legend.
You're a stand up guy, Hockey Guy. You don't try to jump on someone's death to make content. You're my favorite hockey channel for a reason. Keep it up.
Like those French hockey players. Great names
That cup winning goal in '66 is still highly controversial with old timers in Detroit. Richard slid into the net with the puck under his arm. Toe Blake was actually heard shouting "quick, everyone onto the ice before they can call it back."
Shannon, thank you for this and everything that you do!
You know Maurice Richard is coming soon after seeing this
11 Stanley Cup rings as a player! Whine Pesky; eat your heart out! LOL! This is one hockey record you're not even close to.
Maurice Richard said his younger brother was a better all-round player than he himself was. Henri also had a much shorter fuse than his famous older brother. Just ask Serge Savard!
This long-time Habs fan thanks you for this great tribute.
Nik Ehlers has shown a little bit of Henri in him in the past season, now that I watched this... I love it
I saw him play, as a toddler. Not only did Henri played down his role in the victories, many Montreal fans seem to downplay him as well.
3:42 Neither was Rocket, points anyway
Keep the Montreal Canadiens content coming... come to the dark side...
go habs go
Hulu needs to do a video on boom boom
Henri the "Mad Chihuhaha" Richard , the man was 5 feet 7 but is will was 7 foot.
the Pocket Rocket was often overshadowed by his big brother
hey bud can you do a video on fred shero please?
J'adore Henri!🔴🔵⚪
Shannon is the pocket rocket of floor hockey.
He was a great one.
I often wonder "What if Montreal somehow got Mario in the '84 draft?" I think Montreal could have traded their 5th and 8th picks (Petr Svoboda & Shayne Corson) and 29th 2nd round pick (Stephane Richer) for the 1st pick.
Oh brother, you had a great career
It’s pretty cool he tied Bill Russell for most championships in North America ever
Wait........ I've been mispronouncing his name my ENTIRE LIFE?
The Rocket
He was my favorite player , playing as a kid back then using his number. What the author did not allude to here, is that a captain`s biggest attribute is to inspire his team to perform at their best. I seriously doubt any captain in NHL history was the equal to Henri in that department. My thinking is Jean Beliveau or Bobby Clarke was a distant second.
This is about great French players..
Imagine having 11 rings
5:45 cough* cough* John Tavares
Remember Maurice Richard? This is his big bad brother.
Check out this video at 4:05 and watch Henri just swipe the puck from Bobby Orr and take it in for the goal. th-cam.com/video/TGjpo8CxqXY/w-d-xo.html
Not a fan of French.
