[MrJrbuddah]

The Plane has been recovered...



[Francisthefootball]

it's my michael stipe voice...i've worked all my career to try to sound like that

[150rex]

shout out from bc. this songs tight

[79tazman]

THE LEAFS & THE HIP ROCK!!!!!!

[rejlau]

Amazing work.

[SzuSzu4]

Great video!

[MisterBCbudman]

bill barilko plane was shot down by the americans north of cochrane , bullet holes in fuselage tell all... biggest cold war coverup of the 1950;s

american fighter pilot from michigan tells all!!!!

[petrolhead1845598]

man this song rocks so fucking hard. 

[CDanielzSpecialist]

might it have been the leaf's cup victory that pathed the way for his remains being discovered and not the other way around?

[ariexmae]

Haha .. you would have to be like 70 years old to remember seeing Bill Barilko play hockey. I have a feeling he isn't so much your favorite hockey player as the subject to your favorite song.

[moeschwalk]

@ariexmae

You are right, I have never seen him play, but have seen lots of footage and heard many stories about him from his sister who is a friend of mine.

[pappysmp]

lobtuf se eht tseb!

[MrCharnie]

none of the 50 Mission Cap tracks on Youtube have good sound quality. The tape and album sound better.

[lamonstersoup]

So i was just reading the paper and the leafs have the longest streak without winning the cup. They say the last time they won it was in 1967, but yet this song says 1962?

[bobuce]

back when the team was worth watching

[Bobjb999]

A NY Times article by Cdn. Bruce Headlam welcoming the world to Canada's 2010 Olympics references Cdn. historical incidents

( NOT "incidences" btw,a too-common malapropism!)with tragedies,including 2 hockey ones:Howie Morenz& Bill Barilko-odd for a humour article to be full of tragic deaths!Searching,I found this T.H. song I'd heard before but not listened to& didn't know Barilko's sad tale...I don't understand the bad news hockey card as a good luck object in an air force pilot's cap though!

[Chubstanley]

Bill BARILKO was spying for the Russians. testing the radar defence system being installed in NORTHERN ONTARIO in the early 1950;s

[51actual]

Are you sure?

[Chubstanley]

im just kidding , but it was a theory at the time of his disappearance I AM SURE created by reckless journalists and the red scare,  just google Barilko spy

[51actual]

Glad to here that!!!!

[myknapsack]

Great show last night here in Austin,TX. Gord and the guys were on their game ( as usual).I would see them around town when they were recording here a few years back,Nice guys and very approachable to talk to.I have met some that weren't in the past so I'm uncertain how to approach some people.

[tsmith1414]

Justin Cider - So far your prediction is very true, the Laffs are a laugh on the ice.

[MICH067]

haha 2 months later and its soo true

[justincider75]

still too early to be certain...but this wont be the first time he ruined a franchise

[parkdale420]

Wiiiicked!!

[SweetWhiskerz]

I think the first episode of POWER PLAY,Barilko was the first ghost to visit Parker.....that was awesomely done.Loved how the show intergrated the was hockey is to the way it was........

[SweetWhiskerz]

Awesome job

[guerillatraveler]

yeah well its ok. why should you know? Its a WWII thing. . . . Guys who flew, man over Germany . . . . long time ago

[hebber1961]

thanks

[hebber1961]

what IS a 50 mission cap? i assume it's for some sort of flights achieved??

[Stevie2112Rush]

Pretty Cool, RUSH had this song playing while they were setting up their shows on tour. I immediately took note of the fishing and hockey themes and looked it up and downloaded it. When I listen I always think of the story and had some visuals in mind. You did a great job of pulling it all together like a music video. -Stevie B!

[yemenehtor]

amazing song but this version is a little over half of the length of the actual song

[11leverhume]

did jimmy hoffa die in 67?

[guerillatraveler]

Excellent.

[nightmathzombieethan]

great job! I don't know squat about Bill (Besides what's said in the song) but I love the song, and I think you did an awesome job !

[Propsink]

So what is the reason they haven't won a cup in over 40 years?

LMFAO!!

[ratherBEaREDNECK]

Tha dont have to, they'll always be the best

[thosam128]

leafs suck

[pureCANADIANeh]

the hip rocks and so do the leafs!!! GO LEAFS GO!!

[honeydew159]

yeea ! i agreee!

best team&band!

[hockeynut464]

leafs suck but i love the tragically hip

[Sheldon66]

No, no, no!!! You've got it all wrong.....

It's goes like this....

I love the Leafs and The Hip, but you SUCK!!! lmfao!!!!!

[so2weeksago]

a) it's the leafs

b) there are some way shittier teams

c) you're a fucking idiot

[Victor1970s]

The death of Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman, Bill Barilko, 24, is a story of legend. Could there ever be, another story that equals the events that took place in 1951, where a young hockey player scores a Stanley Cup winning goal, dies in a plane crash later that summer on a fishing trip, and isn't found until 11 years later in 1962 when the Maple Leafs win another Stanley Cup? What an interesting story that I'm sure would make a great TV film or motion picture.

[JaysCyYoung1]

You do know that Vancouver has been in the NHL since 1970 (only three years longer than the Leafs drought) and they've NEVER won. And no, coming close against the Rangers in 1994 is completely inconsequential. Seriously, it's like bragging you're smarter than a mentally deficient person.

And Vancouver sucks.

[stephatrc]

@JaysCyYoung1 this is our year though :]

[arnolddrummer]

@JaysCyYoung1 the leafs aren't amazing but i wouldn't call them mentally deficient. :P

[arnolddrummer]

@JaysCyYoung1 and Go Flames Go!

[nacholibre110]

wtf is everyones problem with the Leafs? Why does everyone hate them so much? They are just another team like any other in the NHL so shut the hell up i'm sick of hearing everyone saying how much they suck

[snakehissken]

I couldn't agree more. People are just jealous because they are the most profitable club in the NHl. Unless you are the Canadiens and you got more than 11+ cups then STFU!

[lopsided101]

leafs suck, it's true. Technically their still the team with the second most Stanley cups though, are they not? I'm glad that finally they are gonna suck really hard (this year) instead of just doing mediocre so they can get early draft pics and eventually not suck again. Plus they have the money to keep a good team if ever they get one again.

Finally they can stop milking all their fans for pity and hope money XP

[jlsmith51]

you forgot the first half

second half is better anyway though

[pentica]

they never used to suck, least its not a song about the phoenix coyotes :P, now those guys suck, *feels bad for Gretzky as coach*

[Rowby420]

this guy is from my hometown bill barilko

[mudandtape]

They should make this the new HNIC song all the other songs are whack, this song rocks. All Canadian, Go Leafs Go.

[footinmouthindustrys]

yeah! I agree!

[JohnnyFever00]

Good video. It could be the new HNIC theme song (all the other entries suck), but the habs fans would hemorrage bull frogs so the cbc would never go for it. They're already accused of being pro-Leafs :-) Go leafs go!

[Trojin369]

great song great team

the hip are fuking awesome and im from Toronto so ......

gj

[canadiannut93]

GO LEAFS GO

[abc9d]

Should be the new Hockey Night in Canada theme.

[magicapricot]

@abc9d or just torontos theme

[zigzag789789]

[mrhiway420]

[mensa4dummies]

Very nice video and a good tribute to Barilko.

[djob2676]

The first verse was cut out of this vid, eh? It was seamless, anyway.

[moeschwalk]

Yeah

Didn't have the time to do a 4 minute video so I cut it down

Good Eye on the edit DUDE

[HowieTheFink]

Cool vid - better than what CBC could do.

[Kicker774]

Very nice job w/ the editing

[gamezky]

Sweet Canadiana! Reminds me of the portrait of the Queen that USED to be in the arenas in Canada. When goalies wore two sweaters for protection and helmets were for coal miners.
