  • Did you really go through five months of comments just to make fun of one.

  • we need guys like hextall and smith back in hockey. they maybe wasnt good as todays goalies but they were warriors all the way:)

  • would have loved to see Sean Avery pull his "waving hockey stick shite" in front of Hextall's crease like he did Marty's. Would have been well worth the price of admission...oh the dreams I've had thinkin bout that day :)

  • IT IS THE BESTE VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN !

  • badass!!! i wish he would have been healthy enough to play in winter classic...miss watchinh hockey when players didnt crash the net without paying the price!

  • Props to Felix Potvin at 5:26. He did a good job

  • Ron Hextall was fucking insane

  • Comment removed

  • 3:50 IS BEST !! :D

  • Un-fucking-believable

  • Some of the shit he did I didn't agree with and was cheap but he was a true hockey player

  • schon Krass,der Typ :)

  • Forget 666, the number of the Beast is 27!

  • WOW! Just realized my little Ron Hextall tribute video has passed one million views!! Thank you everyone who has watched and shared it. Thank you Hexy for the memories! Watching hockey has not been the same since you retired. Go Flyers!

  • the NHL miss a goalie like Hextall he was so fun to look! with his crazy style , crazy attitude and crazy skills. god bless Ron Hextall 

  • With a glove and swing like that he would have a promising baseball career. Yet he's better at hockey.

  • Hextall was pure badass!

  • to bad his goalie skills were covered with all the incidents. great goalie IMO

  • What was the hit at 1:53?

  • So what does this tell us about him?

    His a faggy little bitch with anger problems

  • @xXDeViLRape One of the best, and most entertaining goalies in all the years of NHL hockey...He simply defends himself and his honor on the ice, and you're calling this tough guy a fag? Go say that right to his face, see what happens. He's better than you by a long-shot, man.

  • That was excellent, he's a mad man, i miss pretending to be him in my driveway every day after school with my buds, there will never be another hextall.

  • 5:50

    Hextal: "I'm gonna kill you bitch!"

    Other player: "Ahhh, please don't kill me!"

    Hextal: "You better run (skate) you pussy"

  • 3:28 It actually looks like Hextall is the one rapping. This guy was a fucking badass.

  • A great tribute to one of the all time greats! Very nice job!

  • hextall is hands down the most entertaining goalie in the history of the sport

  • know wonder why im not allowed to play hock with my friends anymore lmao

  • Sick video man! I was on some forums the other day and I seen a gif of a goalie skating down the ice with the puck while deking some players. Anyone know which goalie that'd be?

  • @Tombinater It was Patrick Roy I think.

  • nhl really needs today players who play with heart like Hextall and Tikkanen for example. Good video

  • this video is AWESOME! hossa4ever also made a good hextall tribute. check it out!

  • the only thing that could eclipse Hextal's talent is P Diddy's complete lack of talent

  • The fuckin man, wish he was still playing. Goalies these days should take note that he was a standup goalie, and not laying in the crease like a welcome mat before a shot is taken.

  • hextall is one of my favrite players and im a centerman

  • If you could do an HD version I would buy a copy. I watch this almost weekly. Hexy was my hero and this brings tears to my eyes remembering watching him with my dad.

  • Hey I'm only 13 years old but i know that Hextall deserves 100 percent credit for hall of fame. He needs to be known I mention him all the time at school and every body's like Huh?

  • Свой вратарь! Масала и даже Холт в какой то степени похожий. Заводной. Нам бы в Динамо Рига такого воротчика. Это был бы улёт

  • yeah HD full screen would put it over the top........wow almost 1 million views congrats

  • The only way you can top this is to make it HD

  • @slurren Thanks. If YouTube would allow me to upload a new / better quality version without loosing all the hits and comments I would but unfortunately for some reason they do not allow revising an existing video.

  • @slurren then throw on some 3d glasses

  • What a life this guy has had. Amazing.

  • @slurren Ron Hextall was my FAVORITE Flyer!!

  • old lady at the up to the right 5:25 that loves fights

  • great stuff, hexi will always be my fav goalie

  • Great video. Professionl and entertaining.

  • G.O.A.T

  • @jorpeee No retired in the 2000s

  • Great video.My favorite goalie ever!I already know that no future Flyers goalie will take his place as the absolute best in Flyers history.It's not about wins or cups but heart and passion.Not often do you see a goalie able to protect himself and cause fear in the opponents.

  • Because of him I got alot of penalties during my goalie time..

  • Great video brings back old days Hexy is a beast. I love Philly...

  • his saved was often saved by the tough flyguys tocchet berube brown the list is endless!

  • LOL 5:48 to 5:54

  • he is the sexyest mother fucker to ever live

  • YOU DONT HAVE TO BE SWEET TO BE GOOD ... The Man The Myth The Legend ... # 27 in your program but #1 in your Heart Ron Hextall !!!!!

  • @ledzppn69 ?

  • Greatest/Craziest Goalie To Play EVER. Go Ron Hextall

  • hahahah @ :48... just hilarious.

  • I'm a Devils fan and I love Hextall. I'm a goalie too for a high school team and last year I was middle of my team for penalty minutes all because of watching Hextall and Billy Smith videos.

  • @hockeylaxboy32 That's pretty retarded. 

  • Greatest goalie that ever lived................

    Like if you agree

  • Hextall was one of the all-time greatest goalies, this video and song rocks (and I can't stand fucking rap too, but this song kicked ass). Well done. Cheers

  • You should put this on iTunes if you can

  • i dont know what would injure you more: diving in front of a bus, or pissing off ron hextall

  • @DaveTV2 Yeah you seem to know your hockey facts and ect. But you are right if it where not For Tim Thomas the Bruins would have lost

  • @DaveTV2 I agree with you on that

  • @Purpleoj27 Thanks. I just try to call 'em like I see 'em!

  • @giggidygiggidymonkey If the Bruins suck than why did they just win the Stanley Cup? Go Bruins!!!!!

  • @Purpleoj27 Although I would not go as far as to say the Bruins "suck" and all due respect for their wining the cup, they were not the best team in the league this year. The answer to your question is simple and very obvious. Tim Thomas! He was MVP for a reason. Because he was called upon to so much more and did so much more than anyone else on the ice. Why? Because the team in front of him was not as good. He was remarkable and if he was just short of remarkable they would not have won it.

  • bruins suck

    

  • I love led zeppelin and i usually think covers or samples of their songs are all garbage but this song breaks through the berrier. its such an epic background to one of the most electricfying players the game will ever see. The audio and the video really compliment each other and this video was very well done. Thank you for taking the time to make such a awesome video

  • Hextall is my all time favourite player! I like how he plays the puck and plays outside the crease.

    My favourite active goalie is Tim Thomas, I like how he plays outside the crease too, but he's still far away from Hextall's awesomness :)

  • THERE IS NO OUTHER GOILIE LIKE HEXTALL. AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ONE LIKE HIM. HE IS THE BESTGOILIE IN HISTORY AND IT WILL STAY LIKE THAT TILL THE WORLD ENDS.[YOU DONT HAVE TO BE SWEET TO BE GOOD]

  • Dude, i think Hextall was one of the best goalies and one of the best fighters as goalies, if you agree thumbs up :D

  • @djjasonknight. How old are you, because I am a goalie as well!

  • yeah, have to agree, this is one of the best videos on youtube. Hextall was one of the best, he changed the game and got me into hockey and playing goalie. thanks for putting this together, sends chills every time I watch it.

  • @GenerationXFiles I will check it out! Hextall was amazing in the '87 finals I watch it when it's on every year!

  • @WipeOu1. It's called Come With Me by Puff Daddy, It's from one of the Godzilla soundtracks!

  • @Purpleoj27 He certainly deserves one but someone else will have to do that. My days of recording games are long over. I may try another Hextall one someday though. Just have to find the time.

  • @Purpleoj27 fuck tim thomas, hextall is a much better goalie then thomas will ever be!!!!!

  • @TheWarhammer666 How stupid can you be! First of all they both played at two different times with different styles. And Tim Thomas just won the Stanley Cup for the Boston Bruins! And he also won the Veznia trophy which makes him the first Bruins goalie to win both of those in one season. You clearly know nothing about hockey.

  • @GenerationXFiles You did an awesome job on this video and it is by far my favorite video on YouTube! Awesome job! Go Ron Hextall!

  • @Purpleoj27 Thanks for the comment and compliment. I set up a second YouTube page for my Hockey related videos called "DaveTV2". If you liked this one please check out the series of original videos I created highlighting the '87 finals. You will probably like those as well. If you do, let me know what you think.

  • @GenerationXFiles - What an Awesome video! You did a GREAT JOB! I believe this is now my favorite Hextall Video!

  • I watch before every hockey game! Hint: I'm a goalie and I'm number 27!

  • i'm a Pens fan and Hextall is easily my favorite goalie. this dude was crazy as hell and a monster between the pipes

  • PLEASE change the song this song is such a weak use of great led zeppelin. please..i can barely stand to watch this awesome video. if its gotta be rap at least make it a real rapper

  • @ninfam74 My suggestion would be turn the sound down because the video was cut to that particular song and it ain't gonna change. In addition to the numerous positive comments I have gotten about it 931,000+ hits tells me it is not that much of a detractor. Finally, the song was not intended to be a cover of Kashmir. It merely uses the riff. With Jimmy Page actually playing on the song and appearing in the video tells me it has his blessing so I am okay with it as well. It fits perfectly IMO.

  • skating and stickhandling were the biggest strengts of hexies.... just look at the way he skates, modern goalies should learn from it..!!

  • perfect song for the perfect video.what song is it?

  • If Hextall watches this, he would go ape-shit on 41 people

  • Love the video and Hextall. But, in order to "copyright" your video, I am sure you got the written blessing of the NHL, the Flyers, etc, right ???

  • @pgsmall Yes, the NHL owns the copyright on the footage itself and their permission has been given. In return they place ads on the page. What the editor / artist does contains "creative expression" and is also copyrightable material. So, if someone copies the video as it is, as the artist I have a legal right to protect it. Make sense? I make no claims to the music.

  • @GenerationXFiles Makes sense. Thanks.

  • Ronnie is a fucking beast I'm a hawks fan but I love this guy heart of a Marine mouth of a teamster hands of a plumber

  • Don't make them like this anymore. A true warrior.

  • wish he fought billy smith..that woulda been awesome

  • RO

  • Im a huge Flyers fan but seeing that boston game last night and watching Thomas protect his crease from Sedin reminded me of hextall and had to come watch this again Ps. I Still HATE boston

  • @RMcNallyTM same here broo, i had to come watch hextall after watching Thomas amazing hit on mary kate.

  • One of the most bad ass goalies to have ever played.

  • Ron Hextall is my idol

  • 1:51 is best

  • great video

    greetings from a Flyers fan in Brazil

  • Hextall took it as a personal insult if you took shot on goal....

  • nobody can hate this guy

  • 3:28 THIS IS SPARTA! !

  • lmfao @ 5:47!!! rob brown wanted none of  Hexy

  • @lXIceCubeXl yeah better skate away FAST when you see that crazyass coming after you :)

  • @therealmbassy  agreed !! lol

  • what can i say , HEXTALL BEST!

  • pretty sure with all the shit hes given players and refs they definetley werent happy when he scored a goal. lol

  • 6:07 YES

  • if you cut hextall in two halfs, you only would see a lot of big balls!

  • @cox87 If Hextall sat at a bar he would need three stools one for his ass and the other two for each of his balls

  • Flyers 4ever!!

  • I wish roy fought hextall

  • @xxxdrainy0uxxx Hextall would have murdered him. Roy had his chance in '89 and clearly wanted no parts of him. He found his balls only AFTER he was restrained by the refs.

  • @GenerationXFiles I'd like to see that footage

  • @xxxdrainy0uxxx Which footage? From '89? There are plenty of them on YT. Hextall comes out of net and jumps Chellios. Most other goalies would have gotten in there to even the numbers. Hextall certainly would have. See the Felix Potvin fight as an example. Roy only came out of his net to yell cowardly at Hextall as they were taking him off the ice. Hextall would have killed him.

  • @GenerationXFiles Too bad, they were so close.

  • @GenerationXFiles Yeh I saw that hahaha, after he decks Chelios and is being escorted off, Roy like glides up almost to the blueline and Hextall trying to push the refs off. Roy sees him almost succeeding and turns around and goes right back to his crease hahaha.

    Hextall in a fucking curb stomp

  • @xxxdrainy0uxxx  Roy was a great goalie but to campare him to Hexy isn't the same. They broke the mold with him

  • The Legend !!!!!!

  • I sure hope Hextall himself has seen this video

  • I... just got a boner.

  • 3:54 Didn't he played golf? :)

  • Happy Birthday Hextall

  • How do you copyright a video made up of copyrighted clips and a copyrighted song?

  • @pruntracy The clips are used with permission from the NHL. The edit of the video itself contains "creative expression" and is what is protected under law like any other art form. Make sense? The music is not part of this equation and I lay no claims to it.

  • As a goalie that has also been suspended for fighting I have to say that Hextall is a BEAST!!!

  • What I wouldn't give to have Ron Hextall on our current Flyers team. We haven't had a decent goalie since him.

  • we miss you hextall!

  • HEXTALL FOR PREZ!!!HE BUTT RAPED THOSE ASSHOLES SO SUCK MY DICK U DAMN HATERS!!! IM WATCHING FLYERS BUTT RAPE SABERS 3-0 START OF THE THIRD GAME 7 GOOD LUCK FLYERS!!!

  • RON HEXTALL IS A LEGEND..

  • I don't blame anyone for running from him. It's just not worth the pain standing up to him.

  • 5:47-5-53 he got hurry xD

  • Comment removed

  • hextall on paras mokke

  • 2:56-3:08 however it felt he felt it again

  • if only there was a goalie who played like him currently. it would make some game so much more exciting

  • man it would of been better if he had won a cup :/

  • that was really put togather well very good clips that guy is an animale i think everybody should learn from this guy

    if there were more people like this in the nhl there would be a lot less fucking goofs

  • @bodoqc Get over yourself dude. You fail at proving you have any sort of brain or sense of humor.

  • Not a Flyers fan but, Hextall is AWESOME!

  • and so it begins playoff hockey go flyers

  • this goalie is the toughest ever lmao people ran from him

  • I LOVE HEXTALL ALWAYS HAVE NOW PEOPLE REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT HE WAS TO THE TEAM TAKE THIS YEAR WE ARE GOING INTO THE PLAYOFFS VS BUFFALO WITH BOOSH AND BOB CMON I LOVE MY FLYERS BUT IMO WE DONT HAVE A CHANCE OF WINNING THE CUP WITH THAT TANDEM I HOPE TO GOD IM WRONG I REALLY WANNA BELIEVE BUT JUST CAN I FUCKIN MISS HEXY SOOOO BAD!!!!!

  • Damn, I wish i can fight in NHL 11 With my goalie, And do an open net goals, Wow, EA sports should change that, For that, I thank you!

  • This video should win a grammy!!!!

  • HOW DO I REMOVE ALL THOSE STUPID COMMENTS ON THE VIDEO SCREEN?

    They annoy the shizzle out of me!! Video is ruined with the small messages popping up all the time!

  • big ego, even bigger 5-hole lol

  • i literally lold 1:50 to 1:58

  • Love this video. Is that a beer bottle on top of the net in the opening?! Love it! Hextall's number should be hanging from the rafters of WFC, Cup or no Cup. The man changed the way the game was played and played the definition of Flyers Hockey.

  • @hezekiaB No, that would be a bottle of Canada Dry Ginger Ale. That clip was from the commercial he did. The rest of the commercial is on the back end of the video.

  • and for all this nonsense, he has 0 stanley cups. 74-75 flyers most overrated teams ever

  • @st393736 Remember, it takes a TEAM to win a cup. There are MANY great players who retired without one. Looking at Hextall specifically, I do not think there is anyone who witnessed what he did in 87 who would disagree that he did as much as one goalie could possibly do against arguably the greatest team ever. No, in the end he did not win it but he did a HELL of a lot more than was asked of Fuhr in that series but Fuhr won. So what does that tell you about using cups as a measuring stick?

  • @st393736 Consider the fact that goalie equipment are also damn small back then, look at the NHL now, all the goalies have super huge pads/gloves, while his are quite small. He also scored twice :)

  • @st393736 Of course Hextall was a kid in 1974 - 75.

  • @st393736

    Stupidest comment in the history of Youtube. Congrats.

  • @TheTokinbudZ Biggest idiot in the history of YouTube. Congrats :)

  • @st393736

    How fucking unoriginal. 

  • @TheTokinbudZ i don't give a fuck if it's not original asswipe so take that "points for originality" schtick somewhere else. im not trying to get in an argument with you so i answered at a level that even you could understand. conversation over.

  • @st393736

    Your punctuation and spelling are grade 4 level. Wherever you grew up... failed you miserably. Mad?

  • 37 HABS fans came to see this video.

  • MONSTER !!!

    

  • We need a Hextall type of goalie in the NHL.

  • Like Gretzky said about Hextall: "The best goaltender I ever faced.", probably the most underrated goaltender ever.

  • Cool блеать !

  • @TYLERLEGION Thats the truth

  • DAMN!!!!!!!!

  • @TYLERLEGION Seems to be a common mistake. They do look alike physically. They are MUCH different as players as you probably know. Jagar was great. Brown was not… although he played great in that game which was part of the reason Hextall was hunting him down. Got tired of that ridiculous arm swinging, windmill goal celebration he was subjected to watching multiple times that game.

  • @TYLERLEGION I appreciate the comment but just wanted to mention, technically that is not #68 Jagar that Hextall was chasing. It was #44 Rob Brown.

  • Hextal legend

    

  • I want AleXandeR OvechkiN vs Ron HeXtaLL...history will be made!

  • Hextall is the chuck norris in hockey.. enough said.

  • How much would I love to watch Avery try his little stick waving technique in front of Hextall. He would turn Avery into PASTE.

  • @shaunathinshavis yea, goalies are bitches these days

  • 5:48-5:52 is the best part!
