Wayne Gretzky's Last Stanley Cup WIN !!!

[chillaxer1993]

any team that beats boston has my respect. i hate boston and every team from there

[oopopp]

Nugent Hopkins = Gretzky Light

Hall = Messier

Paarjarvi = Kurri

Eberle = Anderson

[Gojiira]

We lost Gretzky...but we have new talents this year.

[pgbruiser]

I remember watching a San Fransisco 49ers playoff game with my dad when I was young, probably the mid too late 80's. More than anything I remember the noise coming out of our TV. The fans where cheering so loud it sounded like they where going to blow our TV to pieces. It was a unending "WAAAWWAA WAAAAAWWWAAAA WAAAWWAAAAAA"!

You just dont hear cheering like that on a consistent basis in North America anymore.

[pgbruiser]

I hope who ever that guy was on the Oilers bench with the giant hearing aid turned it down. He probably lost the rest of his hearing after that night.

I had to turn my speakers down because that crowd was so loud. It was a non-stop barrage of passionate noise.

Some fan bases are still that loud, but if people want to be totally honest, cheering at sporting events is not what it used to be. Im not saying the passion isnt there. You just dont hear raw, non-stop emotion like this anymore.

[trulysarcastic]

I know it's Gretzky,m but 43 points in 19 games!? Wow!

[dzanier]

He was even better in the 85 playoffs; 47 points in 19 games.

[gutterdog1]

i saw messier >:D

[ccchris86]

so looks like home team wore white jersey in old days? aint dat right?

[tdpuutboefst]

GO OILERS

[MCMLXIXTony]

GO Flames !

[Kurri17Oilers]

First team to do a group photo on the ice as part of the Cup celebration.

[landrykkb]

Wayne Gretzky trade rumors started as soon as this game ended.

[landrykkb]

it took the Oilers 5 years to win 4 Stanley Cups whereas both Montreal and the Isles won 4 straight Cups each between 1976-1983.

[joelrain]

@landrykkb Yeah, but how many other teams won 4 stanley cups in 5 years? Not alot.

[landrykkb]

@joelrain That's very true,and no team has done even that ever since.Heck,Detroit in '97 & '98 were the last team to even win back-to-back Stanley Cups,and that's no small feat.

[guitarskate131]

YOUR IN OIL COUNTRY!!!!

[wegettinarabmoney]

All Peter Pocklington was thinking "more money for me" bye bye Wayne!!

FUCK YOU POCKLINGTON, OILERS COULD HAVE ROLLED THE 90'S AS WELL!

[conda420]

@wegettinarabmoney Would have been something to see Mario and Wayne vs each other in the Finals

[jude565036]

wayne happy 50th birthday

[FRSFreeStateES]

The great Wayne Gretsky was traded for Financial reasons after this Championship 

[majicfactory]

Ever since Gary Bettman took charge an American expansion team is more likely to win a cup than a great Canadian team.

[53greenhill]

As an Oiler fan growing up in Edmonton, I have great memories of the team that played a very entertaining brand of hockey. But my most vivid memory of the 1988 cup occurred at 6:00 into this video.

There, did you see it? Messier wipes his nose and then shakes the commissioner's hand! The Stanley Cup had booger prints on it. Ah, beer, champagne and boogers.

[landrykkb]

It was a shame we never got a Stanley Cup Final with Montreal vs. Edmonton during Wayne Gretzky's tenure there.

[aaaaa895]

@landrykkb

i was always thinking about it as well during 80s. But maybe in this century we will see it, but I doubt that there will be any Canadian club that would win another Stanley Cup.

[landrykkb]

@aaaaa895 Once in a blue moon,a Canadian team will make an unlikely run to the Stanley Cup Final.

[ErikS1975FreeState]

What a way for Wayne Gretsky to end his tenure with the Oilers as a Champion

[landrykkb]

@ErikS1975FreeState Of course,it wasn't known at the time this would be Gretzky's last season with the Oilers.However,we find out years after the fact that the rumors started after this game ended.

[LedbetterINC]

The video cuts off just before Gretzky yells at the retarded guy that cozy's up to him for the picture. tells him to go over to the side....

[theman1819]

@LedbetterINC thats the head coach

[creburke]

It was great, and with Hall, Eberle, Paajarvi, and the other young guys the Oilers are gettting together it wont be long till the cup truly does comeback to Canada!!!

[thecolourblue100]

I'm not an Oilers fan, but I have so much respect for that franchise for it's reputation; with Gretzky and all the Stanley cup's he's won for them...we all know Gretzky's greatest years were when he played for Edmonton, he just had more passion playing and winning for a Canadian team lool jk

[ColdDish1]

Gretzky had 43 Points in 19 playoff games

Holy shit lol

[khidak1]

This could be us on Wednesday.

[yummycocacola]

Back then players dont "throw off theyre gloves" and "Dont rip off theyre helmet" back then they were pretty calm :I But todays hockey they go nuts when they win it xD. But go Gretzky!! Best Hockey player ever to play the game.

[Epyx911]

So strange seeing no ads on the boards

[saskkanada]

its a shity thing what happend after that

[Sinister134]

1980's = oilers domination. ..... They'll be back. The fans in edmonton are loyal

[MrGuccibagman]

@Sinister134

[ckyownz9]

i wish i was into hockey when gretzky played

[trulysarcastic]

more like 84-90. I think the isles and Pens would have something to say about those other years

[AndreasCarlsson82]

Edmonton Oilers from 1982-92 was the best team in hockey history. In 1988 they had so many great players: Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Jari Kurri, Glenn Anderson, Craig Simpson, Esa Tikkanen, Craig McTavish, Kevin Lowe, Steve Smith, Charlie Huddy, Randy Gregg, Grant Fuhr...

[quebecforce111]

Montreal Canadiens of the 70's are the best hockey team of all time . Sorry budy . in 76' montreal are only 10 lost in all the season . 4 straight stanley cup win in the 70 's . Lead by Guy Lafleur and all the other great legends ...

[saskkanada]

@quebecforce111 the capitals are going to shut the series out with 4 shutouts habs suck

[robdmhaze]

@saskkanada guess you were wrong lol CAPS SUCK ovi CHOKE. ahahah

[trulysarcastic]

@saskkanada good call

[PUREpowderIQ07]

@saskkanada hahaha caps suck dick first round?

[landrykkb]

@quebecforce111 I agree 100%!It took the Oilers 5 years to win 4 Cups between 1984 to 1990.

[xCodix]

hockey history? I dont think so.

[rico305305]

[MrBarelylethal]
