I used to hate Berube because I hated the Flyers.....I Miss Tony Twist. I remember when Keenan was coach. Tony Twist one punch KOed Shawn Antoski. Then Twist kept going over to Eric Lindros & Lindros wouldn't fight....
@Christian Stokes I know......I'm a Blues fan and very happy Berube is HC. Its sucks this Corona is costing the Blues a better chance of repeating. Bobby Plager needs another parade....
@@2112Fade2Black i hope u can answer this question. Is hockey and the blues in STL close to as popular as the Cards and baseball, or is baseball way more popular in STL than hockey? thx
@Bd Brown Because at that time. Lindros didn't have any concussion problems. He was a big strong guy 6'4 240 and liked to hit. Mike Keenan was the Blues coach and Keenan wanted Twist to fight Lindros. It's been so long ago but from my memory. I think Lindros had hit a Blues player that Keenan thought was a cheap shot. In a PC after the game they asked Keenan about it and he said he sent out Twist to pay Lindros a little visit because of the hit...But Twist wasn't the kind of player like the old Flyers Schultz or Bob Kelly that would just attack another player. Twist wouldn't just start a fight with anyone who didn't wanna fight. Twist was a Goon but he only wanted to fight other Goons. I think he fought Probert 5 times...
Towards the end of this interview you can see the juices starting to flow and The Chief's eyes start to light up when talking about 5 on 5 line brawl stuations. For a moment, he was starting to glow with excitement again....like his pilot just got lit and he was back in enforcer mode ..then he settled down and regained his composure as Coach Berube..I loved that!
One of the coolest guys I've ever met. Truly a hockey legend. And as much credit he gets for being an enforcer it's not enough. One of the all time greatest fighters ever. He had a long career. Credit to his toughness, his ability to actually play and how good of a teammate he was. You know his players respect him. Everyone respects him.
Last night against the Wild, Craig Berube coached his 500th NHL game, becoming one of only six men in NHL history to both coach 500 or more games and play in 1,000 or more. Fittingly, Ric Flair read the starting lineup for the Blues in the locker room -- and a brawl broke out during the game. Congrats, Chief!
Cheif is such a class act, especially in this video. He's so calm and reserved even when it comes to these 2 disrespectful fools in the interview. Those 2 guys are absolutely obnoxious.
The Chief has obviously somehow avoided the issues of others who played similar styles…241 fights, sparring/boxing, plenty of checks given and received…he’s become a sought after coach while others are plagued with substance abuse problems, brain injuries etc…loved seeing him in orange and black
Watched Chief play junior hockey with the New West Bruins and he was the best fighter in the WHL and protected little high skilled scoring leader Cliff Ronning.
I love this guy. Craig Berube has always been tough and cool. Im 52 yrs odd. Not sure if the two guys hosting knew in whose presence they were in…mad respect to Craig Berube!
I saw John Van Horlick when I was 11 years old, playing for the Charlotte Checkers of the old Eastern Hockey league in 1972 . He was not that big but was tough as nails and always in the middle of every scrum when he was on ice. It surprised me when I heard the chief mention his name
John is my Uncle , I can tell you he was as tough off the ice as on . I worked for him when I was a young man , logging and ranching , he was hard to keep up with . Was my idol growing up .
Love seeing Craig Berube have the coaching career he has so far. Growing up in Pittsburgh I dreaded games the Pens played against Flyers. Between him, Dave Drown, Rick Tocchet and company, they used the beat the hell out of our guys. Had to respect them though. At least Tocchet came over for a few seasons.
I like the thumbnails - both pictures are at Madison Square Garden against Rangers. And he fought a lot of them! Nilan Poeschek Mallette Domi Kocur Langdon Beukeboom Cairns All tough opponents!
Is it just me, or do a lot of former enforcers or gritty forwards make good head coach material? Let's see, assistant coach Steve Ott was pretty gritty during his playing days. Former Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant was quite the scrapper. Bob Boughner of the Sharks fought Berube a couple of times throughout their careers. Even guys like Rod Brind'Amour (Hurricanes), Todd Reirden (Capitals) and Rick Tocchet (Coyotes) were known to drop the gloves. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
He was an enforcer, but had a great deal of class. Never saw him use his stick, give a sucker punch or cheap shot, and he held his own with Bob Probert 3 out of 4 times, got the better of him at least once. Wished he had been a red wing and had a chance to win a cup. But I don't agree that Bettman made the game better by hyper regulating it and cutting down on fighting. The fans love it. We don't want to see anyone get hurt, but the spectacle of 2 gladiators engaged in a fight sold tickets. At least here in Detroit.
I'm a lifelong Red Wings fan and was in my early and late teens when Probert was at his height with the Red Wings. I always liked Berube as an enforcer. But the questions hes being asked are fuckin stupid
Curt Fraser had great hand speed but not great stamina. He was beating Probert and Behn Wilson and suddenly ran out of gas. Always wondered if he was a smoker.
@@47tooter Kordic was a pillow puncher though. That's what Craig Coxe said in an interview. Not much behind his punches. Who did he ever really hurt or KO?
I know Berube was using it as an example, but it wasnt just Gretzky having guys for protection. Every team during that time had a guy, or guys, who were there for that reason and every captain was heavily protected back in the day. Goalies and captains.... heavily protected, not just the Great One. The best NHL hockey I ever saw. Today is not my fav style of NHL.... its a damn shame.
His last story was intetesting, a non fighter player grabbing an honourable tough guy knows he won't beat him up so it is safer with the toughest guy for a non fighter player in a line brawl!
Ive never been more excited as a leafs fan. 34 is getting more aggressive, we have knies and domi, now this MF legend egging on the enforcer behavior that keefer didnt like. Please berube. Make my leafs feared. I dont care if we lose 10 to 0 game 1. Just make every other team scared to step on the ice with Toronto.
He's kind of right probably the problem with watching hockey in the ,70's, 80's, and 90's like I did was it was super overkill it would take like 45 minutes to calm down the entire bench clearing players fighting at once. Sometimes the guys today are a little to sissy boyish but probably health wise it's better. I could be wrong but maybe be just a tad bit more fights would be cool, but for the most part it's probably better for less brain damage and what not.
The tough guys players saved guys like Gretz from being brutalized by tough guy players.And Chief is right,you can’t win games if you’re sitting in the penalty box.Looking forward to his tenure in Toronto,but being pragmatic as I am and unless wholesale changes are made,I don’t see the Buds winning the cup anytime soon.
Big deal, they all lost a few. Lyndon Byers was very tough and was one of only 3 to beat Glenn Cochrane. Byers caught Cochrane with a wicked uppercut and it was lights out. Probert and Plett also beat him. Name me someone who didn't lose.
Funny how St. Louis vs Boston has been a big thing, even though unlikely. Cardinals against Red Sox have matched up on the World Series several times. The Super Bowl in 2001. The Stanley Cup twice.
The games so soft now berube literally tells them there is no emotion anymore he's never even stared down another coach. Because there's never any animosity. You can tell these guys dont watch hockey. Ill prepared interview
Personally I'd rather watch skill people play the game. If I wanted to watch 2 guys fight every 5 minutes, i'd watch UFC. Fighting will always have a place in hockey, but you don't go on the ice just to beat the shit out of somebody every night. Players change, coaches change. If you'd listen, Chief also said that the game has changed for the better.
@@dillondavis3172 Wrong, It was always a big part of the game ! They took it out ! Once every 10 games they let a lame fight in to pacify the fans. And that is with helmets and visors, How pitiful is the game now. I always liked Berube but he is dead wrong. The sport is NOT better now, I barely watch anymore , Without the fighting Berube would never have played in the NHL and nobody would even know him. And he's bashing it ? He agrees with the way Bettman ruined the game ? Bettman is agreeing with Shaniqua to turn the NHL , WOKE ! Soon I will not watch anymore.
Just saying ..he is an old school F Bomb throwing at a rate of one per sentence...coach like like his buddy Bruce ..Vancouver could not get him out of there fast enough.. young locker rooms do not relate to this style of coach any longer..Leafs hire him at ur own risk Signed a Habs fan
Probably tocchet is a better comparison to berube... did Vancouver get better? Why let a young locker room run your team? That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard. Young men need strong men to look up to and model themselves after.
I used to respect Berube, But he says the game is better without people like him in it ? Is he punch drunk ? The NHL stinks now ! I was a die hard fan for 45 years and I stopped following the game 2 years ago ! So mind numbingly boring. It's like watching an all-star game, every game.
How awesome is he. I was so happy to see him win the cup. Favorite Flyer ever.
He was an even better Cap.
yes me too i was happy for him is very humble man.
He’s awesome.
God chief berube is timeless. Guy became an instant legend in St. Louis forever, thank you! 🙏

My dad played with Craig in Williams lake and is still good buddies with him to this day, Craig is one of the best guys you’ll ever meet
What's his presence gonna mean to the leafs bench? Do you think he can make my team win. I'm excited for his "LETS FUCKING GO" energy.
He’s a genuine, wise & (timeless) bad ass and STL is forever indebted. Gettem Chief! 🤙🏾🎶
except his praise of Bettman is strange
The Chief, stand up guy, fought anyone , loved him with Flyers...
Chief was the epitome of what Flyer hockey is all about
Tough as nails

From a Detroit raised kid -glad for Craig and The Blues.
Hey Craig, I miss the mullet! Best fight ever when you and Probie fought with the Mullets flying around. Sounds like a cool guy!
Watched Chief play junior hockey with the New West Bruins and he was the best fighter in the WHL and protected little high skilled scoring leader Cliff Ronning.
John Kordic was probably the best..
Berube was tough as nails and fought everyone, much respect. I have four dvd set of his fights on Ebay for a lucky customer!
I knew Berube from 90s with Washington Capitals.. I always really liked him. He was def one of a dozen enforcers I was quite aware of in that tjme #27
My favorite Flyer in the late 80’s and early 90’s.
Craig Is a wonderful man..and a f....king great coach ..god bless blues 🎶
I love this guy. Craig Berube has always been tough and cool. Im 52 yrs odd. Not sure if the two guys hosting knew in whose presence they were in…mad respect to Craig Berube!

The old Eastern Hockey league...Went to many new Haven Blades games over the years . . .
John is my Uncle , I can tell you he was as tough off the ice as on . I worked for him when I was a young man , logging and ranching , he was hard to keep up with . Was my idol growing up .
What a mild mannered, well spoken guy he is. And he was one tough SOB who was capable of beating the shit out of anyone. Great interview.
yep, alot of people think there dumb goons. berube is intelligent, also grimson, and baumgartner, very smart guys
These kids are lame
The Chief is awesome, no clutch and grab just swing for the fences!!
Good interview...Berube probably threw the fastest punches I've seen, and unlike Dave Brown, I've never seen him dropped !!
Paul Laus dropped him with an uppercut.
Love seeing Craig Berube have the coaching career he has so far. Growing up in Pittsburgh I dreaded games the Pens played against Flyers. Between him, Dave Drown, Rick Tocchet and company, they used the beat the hell out of our guys. Had to respect them though. At least Tocchet came over for a few seasons.
I like the thumbnails - both pictures are at Madison Square Garden against Rangers.

All tough opponents!
your guys range is insane
Amazing person.
“ oh ill probably come out of there” 👍🏻

berube, toughest coach of all time! no slouch as a player either! beat probert a couple times in his prime!
Berube had the fastest hands of any heavyweight - ever.
Tough as nails and was a prototypical Flyer
Kordic was faster.
Curt Fraser had great hand speed but not great stamina. He was beating Probert and Behn Wilson and suddenly ran out of gas. Always wondered if he was a smoker.

Yes, but everyone knew there was an unwritten "don't hit #99" rule.
Berube still looks crazy
hated and disparaged him as a flyer, saw him real value as a cap. Great teammate
Berube is wrong. The NHL is not better. It’s worse. Much, much worse.
Great interviewee - interviewers on the other hand .... wow!
Pathetic kids, ignorant

Trust me he's not afraid to fight a 21 year old. Other than maybe doesn't want to hurt a kid.
Sunglasses? Really? If this was a phone I would hang up. Grow up, you're with a professional athlete.
It’s almost like they’re tryna mock him with the stupid questions.
NHL is boring now. It’s for visor wearing cream puffs
Berube got his ass BEAT by Lydon Byers!
Coach D.
What’s your point

Known racist?
Proof?
He’s Native American. Hence his nickname chief!! Dudes not racist
Are you crying?
He called Peter Worrell a "monkey" during a game. Swore up and down it wasn't intended as racist at the time. Don't recall if he got suspended for it.
