@TheTzdope yea lol and the players didn't like them and Charlie Finley, who fucked up an already fucked up franchise was blamed for it and a few players including Giles Meloche almost left the Seals because of Stasiuk.
The greatest player - in my opinion - to ever play for the Seals can be seen in this clip. Number 5 is Carol Vadnais - an aggressive and offensive defenseman, who would be traded to Boston during the 1971-72 season.
That season's Seals team had a collection of very promising young players - Reggie Leach and Ivan Boldirev who were picked up in separate trades that season with Boston, Dick Redmond, and Gilles Meloche in goal.
What in the heck is the trainer collecting from players in that towel basket, right near the beginning? Stasiuk didn't strike me as "crazy" by any means - just a lousy one dealing with a lousy team. Hankering badly for one of those jerseys.
My boss was at this game and called it one of the finest matches he's ever watched. Initially, the Seals were afraid of being humiliated at home and then the Canadiens were terrified of losing to a bottom feeding team. Made for a great game.
I'm just going by the video. Stasiuk looks like any other coach there. He's kind of mellow actually. Just a rah-rah guy. Everyone knows Bowman's first year in Montreal was after the 1971 Cup!
I mean another thing. Of course I know all Bowman's carriere. I told about your phrase- At 6.57 Bowman walks out from behind the bench. I don't noticed this. In 1971 Habs coach was Neil MacNeil after Ruel.
Thanks for accurate definition concering Bowman! How did you knew this fact????? It's Great! By the way, I don't like Stasuk as coach from the his time in Flayers. But he was good player when he playd in UK line of Boston. Wait your answer.
@blank77 don't be so certain. The Golden Seals were owned by the Gund Brothers, who moved them to Cleveland. Two years later, they merged with the Minnesota North Stars. Then, when the North Stars moved to Dallas, the Gund Brothers took their 50% share back to the west coast. Today they are known as the San Jose Sharks.
Stasiuk was'nt in a great situation in Oakland...he had a young, raw team, a not so big fan base, and a batshit crazy owner in Charlie Finley.

Back when a tie against a better team meant something.Now lets have a shooting contest for the kids instead of a dreaded tie.

Good crowd for this game considering the fact that a crowd of 2,000 was normal for the Seals.

Crazy? Not really, a little simple
by today's coaching techniques, but he behaved
exactly like you would expect him to, coaching
that club in that situation. Today's coaches
are more technical, but everything he was
saying at the bench made sense and was urging
the Seals on.

Would have liked to have seen the Habs
locker room after the game.
Scotty was probably not a very happy man
after they blew a 2 goal lead and getting
tied by the Seals.
Bet it was a long flight home.

Yeah, I just caught little glimpse of Bowman at the end. I wasn't sure, so I rewound the video and sure enough, it was him!

At 6:57, Bowman walks out from behind the bench. It was his first year coaching in Montreal.
