    Don’t you miss the little treats 70’s hockey gave you? In Montreal you had Roget Doucet sing the anthems, the small ice surface in Boston, Philly pulling out “God Bless America” when they needed a win and Toronto having the flags blowing in the wind at center ice. All those little treats are gone, what a shame.

    Gary "Suitcase" Smith...this is great...such a shame CBC didnt start using Color VTR until the early mid 70's. Loved those early Seals Blue Green and white uniforms. I had forgotten about the flags flying from the wind machine blowing them during the anthem. Bob Goldham on the color commentary. I loved Brian Glennie...McKenny and Dorey not so much...both give away masters. Can almost guarantee I was at home in our living room watching this with my dad. Looked forward all week for HNIC.

      Pat Frencn...It was a beautiful version, wasnt it? The anthem singer the Leafs are using right now is too much of a screetcher for my liking. Why is it that anthem singers add the screetchy flourish at the end where their voices go up so high, it hurts and they change keys in the middle of the song???

    I've never seen a Seal's game and they are buried in weird childhood memories. The thing that surprises me is this game looks better skilled overall than a game with the flyers a few years later. Even the Seal's players could really move and skate. 4 or 5 years later it's like watching low level wrestling on ice.

      In one game he was so frustrated at the Seals' inability to clear the puck and start the offense that he skated out to center ice with it before passing off. Didn't help, of course. (I wasn't at the game but read about it in the SF Chronicle the next morning.)

Opposing coaches began putting two goalies in net to try to stop him. They showed home video of him getting a pass in the slot and it would be in the top corner of the net almost before the goalie could react. People would come up to the poor kid for autographs and he could barely write his name yet. Never heard anything else from him, either.

    Montreal was playing on the night of February 7th, 1970 at Minnesota.

      Well at this point in their history (third year) they weren't a laughingstock yet, just another expansion team. Finley hadn't taken over the team yet and they made the playoffs in 68-69 and 69-70, the season this video was from. They still fielded a good young team with lots of potential in 71-72 during the Finley era but the following year the World Hockey Association came along and they lost 9 players to the new league. Things quickly went south after that...

    I`m glad they stopped flashing the camera to a close-up of the goalie whenever there was a close-in scoring attempt. Watching these games from the 60`s really shows how different the game became after the influence of the Europeans. There`s much less passing here--and lots of individual efforts that is rarely seen in today`s game. The shifts are shorter now and it`s all-out for about 45 seconds for each shift. So much of this 60`s game looks like a bunch of guys out for a leisurely skate--nothing CLOSE to the intensity of today`s game.

At 60 I still play weekly with much better equipment allowing play without the fear factor. The equipment combined with the new style of play (fingers up glove hand and butterfly) allows goaltending to keep up with the faster play.

      It sure has. The average skill level now in 30 teams is WAY higher than was in the late 60's. You watch the big stars like Bobby Orr and Bobby Hull back in those days and those guys would only be among the few that could crack a line-up in todays game. And it was the mediocre skill level of the other players than made these guys shine and look so dominant. But that's the thing so many people complain about hockey now. You watch a game with some of the league's top players and other than making a few plays, they hardly stick out at all.

I started following hockey in the 1960s and the 60s and 70s will always be the best times for hockey in my view. I still love today's hockey but it doesn't have the same feel as the old days.
