You see If i had to pick a player to start a franchise it would be the "Moose" Messier dominated with the Oilers then came to NY to lift the curse. An amazing career, # 2 in points people. Scored, fought, cried, won 6 cups, 2 without The great one
Mark Messier is a vain egomaniac and was a terrible leader post 1997. Just ask his former teammates on the Canucks what they think of him. Or better yet look at how the the Canucks fell apart and all their fans abandoned the team after Messier signed.
What kind of leader walks into a room and says "this is too much of a country club" and "you guys didn't deserve to be in the Stanley cup playoffs" when you walk into your new teams dressing room?
you can say what you want about the Canuck years....but he lead the Oilers to the Cup and did the same as a Ranger...and you cannot take that away from him
you gave a really bad example to make your point....walking into a new dressing room and being honest and criticizing is actually the opposite of being gutless....it's being brave - not that i necessarily agree with him doing it, but it sure wasn't gutless. I'm a Canucks fan, and unlike most, who actually don't know hockey at all (most jump on the bandwagon when it's fun to do so), I don't blame Messier for the probs....they needed to change direction at that point, and they did. :)
What Messier did when he came to Vancouver is divide the locker room. That isn't just something the media came up with, that is what former Canucks have said openly in the media.
And I don't think there was anything "honest" about what Messier what saying. The guy just believed his own hype and thought he could say whatever he wants. Here's a tip for you: If you want to ingratiate yourself with a new group of people OBSERVE first and gain people's respect. THEN go off on a rant
Do I blame Messier for all the problems with the Canucks? NO! But I don't have any respect for him. How can you possibly respect someone that thinks everyone else is the problem when HE obviously should have retired.
Look at his teams post 94.
Look at his record with team Canada at the recent world championship.
Mark Messier has done nothing to justify the title of great leader and great hockey executive since 94 but he still arrogantly expects people to bow down to him.
a lot of what you say is true, but you aren't disproving anything i said.....you're all over the map....lol. All I said is that Messier was not gutless for going into a new dressing room and criticizing the holdovers.....that's not gutless.......
also, looking at his teams post-94 may bit a bit overly critical....he was mid-30s by then, and by any measure a hockey player no longer is the key guy at that age...... again, i'm a canucks fan, but let's keep it real
hey all these assholes including you cry about the rangers having an oil stain on there cup your pathetic it just proves that new york has money and can get anyone they want
Amazing, awesome vid...but i do prefer vids that show him as an Oiler also...can easily forget the Vancouver years, but hes days in Edmonton with the dream team will never be forgotten
Once again, moronic devils fans crawl out from under their rock to show how pathetically jealous they are, and always will be, of the Rangers. That's because devils fans know damn well they are utterly incapable of supporting their team the way diehard Ranger fans do.
i dont go to islaners videos and talk shit...o wait there r none my bad....wen a team wins 4 cups and no one cares does it count...how sad is that a team won 4 in a row and there name never comes up in conversations HAHAHA
to bad he never made the gm 6 prediction against the Devs. Mess is on Versus tonight and will be throughout the Stanley Cup. watch how the prediction that never happened is never brought up. he has never ever made one single comment on it because he's embarrased by it. the fact is it was a made up story by the NY Post to hype up hockey in NY. You will never in your life see him comment on it or see video of him saying it!!!
and messier holds more records than any devil could ever wish for, he was setting records while blowdeur was getting his ass wiped for him, so stop being a typical bitter jersey fan, you're jealous that no matter how good your team does they're still never gonna get any real respect. No one cares how many times you say 1994 oilers or 1-2-3 jersey, you just make yourself sound worse.
all with the OILERS!!! MOST SELFISH PLAYER EVER TO PLAY THE GAME. HIS SKILL WENT FASTER THAN HIS HAIR!!! CAN'T GET ANY WORSE THAN BEING THE RED SOX OF HOCKEY!!! 80 YRS AND 4 CUPS!!! ZERO CUPS WON DURING ORIGINAL 6 ERA!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! 1-2-3 NEW JERSEY!!! 1994 LETS GO OILERS!!!
U SUCK! YOUR STATE SUCKS! Look at you, you resorted to making fun of someone hair & you cant think of anything to say besides 2 phrases, you are giving jersey fans a bad name (like they could get any worse of a reputation) Have fun spending the rest of your life talking about the past cause thats all you can do ya fucking pathetic L-O-S-E-R. I had to spell it out for you cause you can't even spell basic words ya jersey retard.
Hey jackass, if you hate the Rangers and Messier so much, how come you're watching all this shit and making retarded comments? Seriously your dumb ass is commenting on every Ranger video on Youtube. If you hate them so much, stay the hell out, fuckface. Messier isn't gay, but he says you and the Isles can blow him.
aww look who decided to chime in the bitter islanders fan, why don't you save some of your pride & go comment on islander videos, cause you sound pathetic right now
his skills went faster than his hair in NY. He never won the King Clancy award for leadership! the only thing he ever did in NY is win the Cup with his OILER teammates. after the 1994 NY OILERS broke up he led NY to the golf course 5 times and 3 times in Vancouver. no OILERS no "MESSIAH". what retards NYR fans are!!! "THE MESSIAH" what a joke!!! what would you have called him if his last name was Jones?
Your work is riveting, I am sobbing right now. You have made me feel 7 years old all over again and i can't explain why this one is so much better than the other Messier tributes i've watched, but it just IS.
you feel like you're 7 yrs old because you're a retard!!! MESS NEVER WON THE KING CLANCY AWARD FOR LEADERSHIP!!! 1994 LETS GO OILERS - 1994 LETS GO OILERS - 1994 LETS GO OILERS - 1994 LETS GO OILERS!!! WHAT A TOTALLY PATHETIC HISTORY THE RANGERS HAVE. THE RED SOX OF HOCKEY!!! THEY COULDN'T WIN ONE SINGLE CUP WHILE COMPETTING IN A LEAGUE WITH JUST 6 TEAMS!!!
look whos back the kid who's more obssessed with the rangers than his own team. poor baby, whos gonna take the puck through the neutral zone now that gomez has gotten too greety 4 the devils & wants 2 leave? devil players have got no loyalty to their teams & care more about money than playing for their shitty fans & shitty coaches. Another embarrassing p-off exit like the last 2 years & the devils may not even B able 2 afford another season.
Guess what dumb ass EURO RANGER fan. the DEVILS HAVE GOT 21 PLAYERS ON THEIR TEAM THAT HAVE PLAYED FOR ONE TEAM AND ONE TEAM ONLY!!! THE DEVILS!!!! THE RANGERS HAD ZERO PLAYERS REPRESENTING TEAM CANADA AND TEAM USA IN THE 2006 OLYMPICS. WHO'S LOYAL? DEVILS!!! WHO SUCKS? RANGERS!!! 1994 LETS GO OILERS!!!
1-2-3 NEW JERSEY!!!WE LIFT CUPS WHILE NYR LIFTS GOLF CLUBS!!!
who's "we" you dont do shit except for say two lines over & over again. who the hell cares about what country the players on a team are from? See youre just coming up with any excuse to try to make your team team sound better...its just not working...heres a thought why dont you actually comment on devil videos instead of obssessing over the rangers so much
it's not gonna happen kid. i'm here to stay!!! i'll make my comments where i please. MESSIER NEVER WON THE KING CLANCY AWARD FOR LEADERSHIP. WHEN THE RANGERS DID MAKE THE P-OFFS FROM THE 40'S TILL THE EARLY 70'S THEY WOULD HAVE TO PLAY THEIR HOME GMS ON THE ROAD IF THE CIRCUS WAS IN TOWN!!! NEW YORKERS CARED MORE ABOUT THE CIRCUS!!! WHAT FAN SUPPORT!!! THAT'S WHY THEY ARE "THE EMPTY RAFTERS RANGERS"
you want to talk about fan support YOU DONT HAVE ANY!!! JERSEY FANS R THE MOST UNLOYAL LAZY FANS EVER IN HOCKEY!!! 3 CUPS IN 8 YRS & THEY STILL WONT GO WATCH THEIR TEAM! THE GARDEN WAS SOLD OUT DURING THE PLAYOFFS WHILE CONTINENTAL HAD TO LOWER TICKET PRICES JUST TO GET YOU INBRED FUCKING MORONS TO SHOW UP!
Oh, my God, this is incredible. Tears are truly running down my cheeks as I type this. And I will be 20 in May, I can barely remember any of these moments. But the images stir in me the oldest and fondest memories of growing up in manhattan, and knowing what it meant to be a fan and have Him there as The Captain.
As a Flyers fan, Ive always despised Messier because he torched us so many times. But I cannot deny his skill. He is without a doubt the greatest all around player in the history of the league and maybe all of sports. Excellent video that brought back so many memories. Thank you, my friend.
