Why did Craig MacTavish rip the tounge out of Harvey the Hound? This guy is nuts but makes me LMAO!!!! :D :D :O

[danmanlol5]

[bobzurunkel]

My interest in hockey has decreased every year since the lockout. It's just not the same.

[jet4212006]

if only Boston didn't win the world series.

[slapshot68]

still the only major sports league to lose a whole season to a dispute

[dudefromgermany]

best day in history of canada

[ehlu15]

this was music to espn's ears... "no hockey season"

[ranelproductions]

Red Sox fault...lmao,

[KenneWilleJ1102]

NHL has not been the same since the lock out bettman has gotta go

[slapshot68]

[smpratte]

"As a boy, as a man, as a legend" best part.

[StandUpForCanada1867]

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME ... who's the guy at 0:22-0:24 that said, "that pisses me right off." (???)

[dunnyb41]

@StandUpForCanada1867 Dino Ciccarelli. He was a Red Wings Winger from 1992-1996 when the Claude Lemieux hit on Draper happened

[StandUpForCanada1867]

@dunnyb41 THANKS!

[MyCrosbyfan87]

@StandUpForCanada1867 Dino Ciccarrelli of the Detroit Red Wings. Also played for the North Stars. Wore #22.

This ruined hockey.

The big hits are gone, Nowadays its just hits from behind, When there IS a clean, big hit. teams just push and shove afterwards to look tough.. Less fights, more pansys.

Less memorable games. other than the Oilers-Canes final. all the finals have been sorta dull, With no real "Defining" moment.

Like how in the 2003 finals, all fans remember (Cept for NJD fans) how Kariya came back and scored, Etc.

We can ALL Blame gary bettman for this

Like if you agree with me

[toucansam3]

@Comox98 I 1/2 agree with you, I don't think the strike was to blame for the game becoming less rough, I think that was coming anyway. The strike did do some good though: no more two line passes, though I can't stand the goalie box behind the goal, that has to go.

[MrFlyerGuy]

This is kind of like NHL on ESPN's eulogy

[MrBluesfan1]

fuckin red sox.......

[McRBlues]

@MrBluesfan1

Was just going to say the same thing

[shizzlemynizzle44]

ONE FRAZE:::::: FUCK YOU GARY BETTMAN

[storeflack]

these espn guys r fuckin retarded they dont know shit about the nhl my sister is 8 and she knows more. stick to the canadian broadcasters

[flyersfan4888]

When they first showed this I thought they were being dramatic....damn, 6 years later they were right.

[jackavsfan]

Just another reason to hate the Red Sox. And 3:10 makes me shiver

[NebraskaFan77]

Hope this happens to the NFL in 2011

[svobo036]

@2:00

[svobo036]

@1:21

[AvsFan089]

biggest nightmare of my life

[TheRevolutionCanada]

Probably the most saddest days in the history of professional sports, hope it never happens again, but with dictator bettemen at the helm time will only tell when this scenario will play out again.

[TheRevolutionCanada]

The reason for the NHL lockout is because of the Red Sox? Of course why didnt I think of that before, It was so obvious from the beginning

[godilovehockey]

This video seriously made me cry.

[Sundin456]

Why did they do that???

[gagnondp]

Gary Buttman is a disgrace to Hockey. He wipes his ass with the games traditions.

[Gaubuchon02]

The NHL was ruined by the New Jersey Devils, Lou Lamoriello and their boring style of hockey. Trap, Clutch and Grab.

[randyortonfan2011]

@Gaubuchon02 of course it was... NOT!!!

2004/2005 was ruined by every single team in da NHL EXCEPT da devils

[Gaubuchon02]

People stopped watching hockey when they saw how boring the Devils are. If I wanted to watch a bunch of fags clutching and grabbing other guys, I'd go to a high school wrestling match. There's no place for it in hockey and ever since they cracked down on it post-lockout, the devils have not made it past the first round of the playoffs. Coincidence? I think not.

[hornschamps07]

@Gaubuchon02 the devils have been past the first round once i know for sure and i think they got to the second round in 07 but im not sure

[chris01511]

this just gave me another reason not to like the red sox lol

[thatdudecozz89]

David Stern and Gary Bettman are the worst commissioners in the history of sports.

[SCOEN]

they make it seem like the nhl wasnt coming back

[FallOutBoy1016]

exactly

[utube0817]

you stupid fuck, listen to the beginning, "bid farewell to the 04-05 season", listen first before you run your mouth you dumb bitch

[SCOEN]

ok u fuck jeez i wasnt like rioting ur a dumbass get a life outside youtube

[systmfreak]

Very moving piece, gives me goosebumps and makes me miss the old NHL.

[richiecaptain18]

one of the saddest days ever.

[utube0817]

uh huh, up there right along with 9/11 and assassination of JFK right? dumb bitch, this is just a sport, theres more important things going on in the world.. get a fucking life

[kettlebelller]

youre an asshole

[MrCool63]

This is the best piece ESPN has ever done on the NHL... Hands down.

[cubsbule213]

after this season did espn stop covering hockey

[leafsfan1991]

kudos to bettman (sarcasm)

[seanaverypwns]

hockey has more amazing moments then anyother sport in the world.

[cujoguy12]

waht a sad time

[ozzmoises]

screw ESPN they still dont cover hockey for shit

[BillyBones82]

Hockey's gay!

I'm glad it has been locked out, too bad that for just one year. It should return to Canada where it belongs and here it only distracts people from the true sports, such as football, basketball and baseball.

Well at least ESPN was smart enough to get rid of it, I'm fine with it being on Versus, a channel that no one watches. lol

[seanaverypwns]

lmao hockey is the best sport out there football is stupid baseball is uber boaring and in basketball one peroson can win the whole game by him self. i dare u to play hockey and say its gay

you will get destroyed on the ice.boards dont give but the glass dose.

[dderda]

What i'm thankful for... Pens are 9-1 right now in the playoffs :)

[563756297]

fuck Buttman >:(

[hockeykid91]

man im glad that's over and done with..

[therealeggplant]

If this video doesn't make you hate Bettman, nothing will.

[slapshot68]

a sad time for me, but i got it ova with wen i saw my dream girl again in may 2005.

[Mdurofchalk]

i hate people that post bull shit comments like this. I bet you he has never had a girlfriend.

[napac1458]

the red sox ruin everything lol

baseball is boring anyways, no one should give a shit about it

[ZatchPatch]

They made it sound as if the NHL was ending forever.

[Deempie92]

A year without any hockey is kinda... long... it's a good thing that stupid strike is over :P
