Why is this so legendary? Dominik Hasek, in game 6 of the 1994 Devils vs. Sabres series, he faced just about the same number of shots, maybe more, and got a shutout in a 1-0 quadruple OT win. Sure, Tugnutt"s performance was epic, but Hasek was unbelievable.
worked at nassau coliseum ten years ago. when tugnutt was back up for pens during 3rd period of game he was getting blown by some ho in lockeroom. jagr came in to get skate fixed saw it and flipped out on him. think girls name was trish she was a groupie who would b at everygame
That was Fred Cusick announcing the game, the bruins announcer and he was FANTASTIC!! Praising (as he should) Tugnutt all night, Im a bruins fan and watched that game and IT WAS and great goal tending performance
73 shots means both. BOTH. Bad rebound control, sloppy defense not getting to loose pucks, and terrible possession time down low. I'd be interested to see the offensive ice time for Tugger's team in this game.... All of these things considered, it's really a miracle that this game wasn't 9-1
@kewlnsimpguy No he didn't win. Game ended in a 3-3 tie. Tugnutt stopped 70 of 73 shots. I believe the Bruins outshot the Nords 73-26. I'm still wondering where was the Quebec defense. I can understand 73 shots in an overtime playoff game. But this was 65 minutes. And Ray Bourque, a defensemen, has 19 shots!!!!! Tugnutt was the only reason that this game ended in a tie.
@jbobbster - This was during a period where the Nordiques were the worst team in the league, three years in a row. They were in gradual decline after their peak years with legends like Goulet and the Stastny brothers.
Notice one of the players named for them during the game: Joe Sakic. This was a couple of years after Eric Lindros refused to play for them and the trade happened, including several first round draft picks.
@zxcv1234vcxz Dude this was 1991. Lindros was drafted in 1991 after this season ended. It was then that Lindros snubbed the Nords and the trade happened.
To get a standing ovation in any visiting arena is a sure sign you've gained the respect and admiration of people who know the game, and appreciate what they've just seen.
you see these were the best times of the NHL because these days its not as much record breaking or having very good players like back then. thats why the NHL is not as breathtaking or exciting than it was back then
As a Nordiques fan, it's my most memorable game ever. Then Stastny's goal against Montreal and the one that elimanated Hartford (Mike Liut).
Does anyone remember the game the Nordiques lost while they were leading by like 5 goals with less than 10 min. to play in the third period? (It was Fiset between the pipes and if I recall, it was against Los Angeles or Calgary)
Bad defensive coverage of Joe Sakic on Bourque's final shot. You could see he wasn't a complete player back then. He still got 100 points with a last place team that year. The only player in history to achieve that.
Where...., was the rest of the team, tugnutt was certainly doing his part!. "Yea..." what defence??, that was "Les nordique" for you...!, Tugnutt.., you're and was a Great goalie..
thats all peer greatness by a goaltender, I mean back then goalies were smaller and relied solely on their reflexes instead of being huge. I didnt think he was any good until today, I realize. I was mad when dallas put tugnut in against vancouver and van won 4-2. I thought he sucked but damn am I wrong, goalies today are huge and bulky and wont be the same as the olden days. and can someone tell me how many pucks luongo stoped against anaheim and dalas in the long overtimes?
I remember watching this entire game like it wsa last week. Every save that night coulda been on a highlight reel. The bruins players and the fans showed showed real class that night.
Im from Boston, I bleed Black N gold, but i think it sucks for the fans of the Nords to lose their team , Some Great Games were battled between Quebec and boston, Canadiens Love their hockey and dont deserve what happened, same goes for winnepeg moving to Arizona?? who plays hockey in the fuckin desert, the stars moving to Texas, whale to carolina, and new teams in cities like nashville? cmon now, I hope the Nords fans get a team sometime soon,, they Deserve it,, Go Bruins
@SILLONOH i know that, but as a bruins fan, it was a big hit, it was a brutal rivalry. then all of a sudden they move to carolina where most people have never heard of the sport of hockey, rivalry gone. ive been to a home dallas stars game, i was there for a sox game an went to a stars game to. that team was the minnesota northstars. half the people there didnt care about the game. minn loves hockey, its sad. winnepeg deserves a team,
@IRONSEAN7 I was thinking of all the teams that moved over the last decade or so. I saw a young guy with a Hartford Whalers hat and thought "Wow, I haven't seen that logo in a LONG time!" It's kind of a shame that those of us who remember hockey from the late 70's and 80's, even into the early 90's have seen such makor changes. Bring back the Northstars, Whalers, Nordiques, and Jets!
@IRONSEAN7 i agree but for canadian hockey fans mainly, the Thrashers are moving from Atlanta to Winnipeg! im not sure if its a done deal or not but there might be a team in Winnipeg
@IRONSEAN7 Agreed. I've been a Bruins fan since I was in the womb, and I was a semi-fan of the Nordiques when I was a kid. Much in the same way that I was a fan of the Jets and Whalers. I have a soft spot for NHL towns that lost their teams, and losing the Nords broke my heart since that was one less regional rivalry in the Adams Division. Worse, they win the Cup the first year they go to Colorado! That should have been Quebec's Cup!
@SoftBank47 i hear ya man, to many teams who loved hockey lost their teams who never heard of the sport. i miss the whalers, i would love driving an hour to see the Bs play on enemy ice, i seen a whalers sticker on a brand new truck not long ago, i couldnt help but smile...
@smozoma Haha looks like he's all but given up because they realized even if they peppered another 70 shots, it wouldn't go in with the way Tuggy was playing.
I always wondered how the Nordiques could suck so badly that they got 3 straight #1 draft picks from 1989 to 1991 and all I have to do is watch this game.
Like someone pointed out before, 73 shots in 65 minutes: more than 1 shot a minute.
Sakic was only 21 at the time, Sundin was 20, and Owen Nolan was 19. Those were some dark years for Nords fans. It took a lot of losing before that team became the powerhouse that Colorado inherited.
SUCK???? SUCK????? You don't remember 1992-1993 season??? They finished 4th in league, and almost won theirs series over Montreal, the team that won the stanley cup this season...
Just to clarify before you get all nitpicky, I'm talking about last in the Adams division.
Also, the best they finished during that 5 season stretch was 5th worst in the NHL, and anytime you're bad enough to get 3 straight #1 overall picks, that qualifies as sucking. Hell, if it weren't for the San Jose Sharks coming into the NHL in 1991-92, the Nords would have had yet another #1 pick.
Well it is true they we're pretty bad between 87 - 92 but the year they moved to Colorado, they won the cup and it was the same team. Of course Roy was with them. Of course you need to suck before being good. Just look at the Blackhawks. They sucked for a long time before getting Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. So did the Nordiques, the Ducks, the Lightning, the Penguins...
One season doesn't change everything, Nordiques weren't exactly top class bar a few seasons... Since they moved to Colorado they have become much, much better. Theres no denying that the Quebec days were pretty bad in comparison to how they are doing as of now.
@beermcvodka Many years of losing indeed, yet fans still supported them, selling out the Colisée almost every game, unlike Colorado, Phoenix and Anaheim when they started to lose.
As a Bruins fan, I remember watching that game. He was unconscious in the net that night. By the time the game was over, the Boston fans were cheering for him. After the game, many of the Bruins players came over to congratulate him. An unreal performance.
My brothers and I still talk about this game. Neely told Ron to take a bow after that last save. Nice to hear Fred and Derek again. Thanks for this video.
This really illustrates just how bad the Quebec Nordiques were in the early 90's. Remember, this franchise was so bad, they had the number one overall pick THREE YEARS in a row (Sundin, Nolan, Lindros)
I say that because nearly every shot ended up in a rebound. He was able to put his body in front of the puck but that was mostly it, he couldn't see it good enough half the time to glove it or smother it.
boston garden gave tugnutt a standing ovation, you don't see anything like that, the home crowd giving a standing o for a visiting player based on a one game performance
oh yeah, your right. Left wing I believe? Yeah srry bout that. Man the Nords had some great offensive talent though. They Had Owen Nolan, Wendell Clark, Mats Sundin, Joe Sakic, Peter Forsaberg. Great stuff. Yeah, I do apologize though. I was 10 years old when the franchise was sold to investors in Denver.
Yeah...As you can see, I corrected myself asshole. fucking, OOPS! Wow, do you have nothing better to do with your time. Yeah yeah, I know Kamensky was a winger. Im not dumb, I just fucked up
Cette équipe faisait pitié à voir en ces temps mais, il est souvent plaisant de voir des types se battre pour ne serait-ce qu'un peu de dignité... Et ce soir là, j'ai été servi à souhait. Ce fut un des plus surprenant spectacle que m'ait offert les Nordiques de Québec des années '90
its not a retired cliche to shot on goal. they dont do it just like "oh fuck it im gna shot randomly" its that they take the shots that they can find n the defence obviously wasnt doing a good job to let them get in that easily. ron tugnutt rules
yea then that was a good game to watch the team with 70 something shots on goal was smart then they just kept giving the goalie a job to do and the team had a excelent idea. I know its a retired cliche but get the puck to the net you never know what will happen.
When i was 10 years old,i see this match on french TV,this is my best games ever,i am a big fan of quebec nordiques and tugnutt was my best goali a this time,I still have the Quebec News papers of this games!!!Is there a way to have this games on video tape??
What a performance by Tugnutt. I also like the PBP by Fred Cusick, who was one of the best hockey PBPers in the US and also one of the most objective.
That was awesome!! I was a huge Ron tugnutt back in the day! Too bad you will never see little goalies like Ron in the NHL again.

Often overlooked is that this was in Guy Lafleur's last game at the Boston Garden.
Ce que beaucoup de gents oublient c'que ca fut la derniere joute de Guy Lafleur au Boston Garden.

Peut-être parce que Lafleur n'impressionne plus personne. Il n'aurait jamais du sortir de sa retraite.

Giguere had a 82 save night in03

That is simply not true. You should check your facts before stating things like that.
Giguere had a hell of a season that year though, as we all know.

yes he did the tripple OT against Detroit
jiggyrocks35 2 years ago
@ jiggyrocks
The 70 saves was done in a regular season game. 3 periods + 1 OT.
Playoff games that go to three of four OT's didn't count in this case.

Cette équipe faisait pitié à voir en ces temps mais, il est souvent plaisant de voir des types se battre pour ne serait-ce qu'un peu de dignité... Et ce soir là, j'ai été servi à souhait. Ce fut un des plus surprenant spectacle que m'ait offert les Nordiques de Québec des années '90

If this was the second most saves in a regular season NHL game which was first?
I know Belfour made like 73 in a playoff game and Luongo 71 in his first ever playoff game but regular season?

To lose after a match like that.. shame on the defence.

its not a retired cliche to shot on goal. they dont do it just like "oh fuck it im gna shot randomly" its that they take the shots that they can find n the defence obviously wasnt doing a good job to let them get in that easily. ron tugnutt rules

probably, but the overtime lasted much longer than the 5 minutes that lasts a regular game overtime.
tool26 3 years ago
yea then that was a good game to watch the team with 70 something shots on goal was smart then they just kept giving the goalie a job to do and the team had a excelent idea. I know its a retired cliche but get the puck to the net you never know what will happen.

God the Nordiques sucked in those days. A game like that should've never happened to begin with.

Tugnutt really had a knack for playing out of his gourd against the Bruins.
Am I the only one who really misses the Adams Division from the 80s into the early 90s?

What a performance by Tugnutt. I also like the PBP by Fred Cusick, who was one of the best hockey PBPers in the US and also one of the most objective.
