Was at Oates’ first bruins game the day he was traded to Boston. Huge fan ever since. He had legendary vision, saw the game as well as anyone. Neely owes a lot of goals to Oates’ ability to find him.
Jim Marshall they asked Oates how he got to be such a good back hand passer. He said I had Brett hull on my off hand side, I learned real quick how to get him the puck. lol
He is in the Hall of Fame and considered top 3 passers of all time. Not underrated at all ... Teams did not worry as much about Hull as they worried about keeping the puck away from Oates who got him the puck.He just played away from the big city lights and not in Canada. I'm sure Blues/Bruins fans remember him as that.
@@neilrichardson2749 I remember always wearing #12 because I was such an Adam Oates fan from watching him setup Brett Hull a bazillion times and I don’t think that Hull reaches the same heights without a generational playmaker like Oates on his line.
@@Bodycomp101 just a stick handling drill/technique to work on. You have to keep your stick down in position or the ring will pop off. I don't see why it wouldn't work on a roller rink, it might be a little harder to push since it's rubber. You could just try a plastic ring though
That is one, no nonsense guy. You can tell, he genuinely cares about teaching players to be better people and players.
One of the most underrated playmakers of all time
Only man to feed 3 separate 50 goal scorers.
Peter Bondra (who was and is criminally underrated)
Cam Neely
And Brett Hull
Fun Fact: Neely and Hull both hit 50 in 50 playing with Oates

And a guy by the name of Brett Hull!!

Bo horvat hung out with this guy for a minute and now hes on pace for a 50 goal season. Oates knows things
Adam O, still rocking the 652 CCM Tacks from the early 1990's. Even I had to upgrade in the 2020s.
They make new skates that look like that, but probably he's wearing his old skates
Very underrated playmaker, he boosted the numbers of Brett Hull and Cam Neely.

Loved Adam Oates as a player ... love him more as a coach!
3:13 wait isn't Matt Martin the guy that said go die your hair what a beaut
True. A person can have skill(s) but still be relatively poor at reading the game.
Most players especially kids can’t read or understand what the game is really all
About. Their I.Q. Is garbage
Fellas dialed in. Consummate pro.
This dude is my childhood hero.
Hi what is that training tool they are using at the beginning of the video. It looks like a hockey stick with the Swiffer on the end
It's a hockey stick flipped over with a ringette ring
@@Sss18sss do you know what the purpose of it is? And can it be used on a roller hockey rink?

@@Sss18sss Thank you sir, any ideas for a plastic ring that would be similar?
Spittin Chiclets brought me here.
me too! great episode...I really respect Oates' perspective on the game

Such a good hockey player. Wish he was training Canadians.
I really hope jagr becomes a head coach
guess what boo boo, we aint going! were going out with Chelly
Adam Oates as a player had a very high IQ, he knew how to jump from contender to contender to contender, he was a glorified journeyman
was not a journeyman......one off the best playmakers of his time
Woah
