1955-56 Montreal Canadiens VRS Detroit Hockey Game 5

[dzucch]

Awesome video though

[dzucch]

Music choice is ridiculously BAD

[foghorn25]

Completely annoying audio ruins it.

[NPRMc]

that was a most unattractive ice girl! j/k...this is amazing footage.

[chrisfischerxxx]

this is so amazing & beautiful

[vahekatros]

Thank you Bobby Orr - for bringing your innovation in skating and play to hockey. Prior to you, the film might be color but the play was black & white.

[turtoise87]

why is there color though

[mgarforth]

@turtoise87

Why not? Kodachrome was commercially viable in 1935 and Eastmancolor was economical in 1950.

[andrelebaron]

pretty interesting footage 

[Habs247]

I love how Plante plays the puck so militantly. Amazing amateur video, thank you for posting.

[bjcrew24]

really annoying track of the fans on repeat

[hallauthor]

Amazing candid footage of the 2 greatest goalies ever, Hall and Plante.

[thecuckookid]

@hallauthor I guess you never heard of Terry Sawchuk.

[hallauthor]

@thecuckookid Both Hall and Plante were better than Sawchuk. Sawchuk was terrific, the best for 5 years between 50 and 55, but after that Hall and Plante were better statisticslly, more consistent, more award-winning than Sawchuk who was over-rated because of his untimely death. And it wasn't even close.

[hallauthor]

Love the amazing video, but the chants and added soundtrack are cheesey and unnecessary.

[axxellein]

Euhh!!  Nice Video but there was no ole ole singing in 1956!!!

[Thaone0133]

Are they singing the ole ole ole ???

[maxillos79]

@Thaone0133 YEAH!!!

[Krazy0Kris]

i have to say, I don't like the habs. I've always wondered why they chanted that damn soccer song

[MyWordizBond]

very nice!!!!!!!!!!!

[damour5]

Interesting and unique...

[ramsback28]

where did this piece of film come from? rare

[Shoknifeman]

This was the year that Montreal took away Detroit's crown as greatest team of the 50s as they would win for 5 years in a row. That was the original Stanley Cup (Today they use a replica), you'll notice that the "bands" are much rounder and that the top was detachable from the base!

(in 1970-71, Montreal would be the first team to win the "new" cup.

[crazytrain1889]

great footage!

[nords]

Too bad its not the real sounds. ITs well done but not real

[turtoise87]

i cant believe the is color

[Bshep47]

I really enjoyed watching that, especially in colour. Back then the T.V coverage would have been in black & White. It was a magical time hockey and if you were a Habs fan this was the first of five consecutive cups a record that may be very hard to break. Thanks for showing the film footage, would love to see more.

[habs66666]

Fantastic footage...

[Wehategod]

The orignal Six no helmets and Just great old time Hockey

[Longlakedreaming]

The quicker the Red Wings get relocated to the Eastern Confernce, the better the NHL will be. Detroit and Montreal have always had a great deal of respect towards each others teams and also between fans. Chicago with their "Detroit Sucks" chants can be the only Original Six left in the West. Those Blackhawk don't show any "Orignal Six" class whatsoever

[WoodyAllenNY]

how do the Hawks not show any "original six" class? I mean I think the Rangers don't if you ask me....but then again I'm also an Islander fan

[Bshep47]

I agree, and don't forget about Toronto, even though the Leafs have stunk these last few years, Toronto and Detroit have had some great games over the years.

[Longlakedreaming]

Yes they did! I was a big Toronto fan in the 70's pulling hard for the "pyramid power' Leafs when they went up against the Flyers in the 1976 playoffs and the again the following year. The Wings and Leafs had some great battles in the 80's and early 90's.

[Bshep47]

They were good years, but the years during the 1940's, 50's & 60's (Toronto's Bob Baun broken leg goal to win the cup vs the Red Wings in 64) But the N.H.L. would be wise to shift the Red Wings back to the Eastern Conference.

[Longlakedreaming]

I guess those were great years, but I didn't start watching HNIC and the local Wings games until the 1967-68 season. From then until Yzerman arrived the Wings only made the playoffs twice, so I would pull for the Leafs and then the Islanders in the early 80's.

[MyWordizBond]

true, but ''last few years?''

I'm 35 years old and can't remember ever seing the leafs coming close to winning anything..

oh well, thumbs up anyways for those Det-Tor games, that I agree, it's as good as Buffallo's-vs-Tor.

[WpgLwr007]

Wow...fantastic footage...

[danielheelis]

holy moly what a goalie

[toonguy85]

This is wonderful! Not much color film exists from this era!

[curtchaplin]

classic.

[gcdcjccc]

vintage video but terrible audio

[JohnnyCashIsGod]

and another Cup for the Habs.

[PEGCITYPLAYER]

what is the chant?

[triangleround]

habs fans usually chant this at home games.. the audio in this clip doesnt fit what is happening, still a great clip, good images from an old game

[bluntingtime]

olé olé olé olé olé

olé olé

[RFBernard]

Great footage. Any chance you could make me a copy of it? I love this classic six stuff.

At anyrate thankyou for sharing it here.

[RFBernard]

That's a great pece of film. Any chance you would be able to sell a copy of it to me? Or maybe trade ?

At anyrate it's amazing watching colour footage like this. Thanks for sharing it on here.

[watersong111]

My Dad knew Doug Harvey...best defensive player of all time

[ververgaert]

Amazing, truly Amazing rinkside film. Detroit goalie is rookie Glenn Hall, Jacques Plante for Montreal. Many views of big number 9 Gordie Howe and number 2 for Montreal Doug Harvey. This is a treasure. Toe Blake's first cup as coach. The Stanley Cup was not yet one piece and can be seen being separated by Plante. I love this.!!!!

[cossack207]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
