Vladislav Tretiak Hockey Hall of Fame

[Qurator1]

Великолепная пятёрка Шадрина.

[mrakbigaxe]

@Lovinmetalallday couse he play not for money....

[shuljup]

Greatest of the world of all times

[decleafs4]

A GREAT Goaltender (as in the actual meaning of great; the word is used too often for wrong reasons).

[Azzura68]

One of..if not "the greatest" goalie I have ever had the chance to watch. As a Canadian I hated him...but man was he ever bloody good!

[gelios1970]

Насколько я помню Третьяк во время прощальной серии с клубами НХЛ не пропустил ни 1 шайбы и получил прозвище mister zero - вроде сухой вратарь, даже Планта и Гашека так не называли. Он не только великий хоккеист но и как человек удивительно скромный.

[MrVasilenkoK]

@gelios1970 Это не совсем правда.Он пропустил одну шайбу от Филадельфии(5-1) и 3 от Миннесоты(6-3).А так,действительно после первых двух матчей(3-0 и 5-0) в прессе его назвали мистер ноль

[vohmrin]

Loved his mask nomnom.

[wg390]

Tretyak a goalie of the century!

[bizn4sty0]

my goalie coach (L)

[BraceForFail]

a 1.78 GAA in 98 world championship games? WHAT THE FUCK

[Slushyyy639]

@BraceForFail i know thats fuckin crazy, And thats in the high scoring era!

[abbirina]

he frustated me sooo much.

[Magikjimmey]

Chris osgood have the same mask

[anton360industries]

I truly do not care what this guy says I'm just glad to know it was my country with the strongest hockey team

[fulkwho]

Arturs Irbe, Vladislav Tretiak, and Evgeni Nabokov are my favs

[wiseguycn1]

Who knows what he would of done by playing with the Montreal Canadiens in the 80's.

[omgitsaidsyay]

@wiseguycn1 The Montreal Canadiens had Patrick Roy during the mid-late 80's. Can't really get much better.

[MingTongPang54]

wonder what would happen had he play in NHL. his number would probably be up their with Patrick Roy and Marty Brodeur. the reason he never played in NHL was because during cold war, Russians players werent allowed to move to North America to play NHL for political reasons.

[fissionemblem1]

@MingTongPang54

well its a good thing we have you here ... i had no idea

[Vmulderful]

Третьяк - лучший вратарь СССР и Мира.

[Canuckfan78]

Tretiak in the Hall of Fame is a political move. Sure he was shutting the door at the Olympics but the best he'd face there would be guys who could at best be NHL 4th liners. Look at how he faired against the top NHL calibre players. After that 76 series I think Bobby Orr caused him nightmares of Good Ol #4

[tylerdurdonxx]

@Canuckfan78 I totally disagree. Look at his career body of work. He's a definite hall of famer.

[Canuckfan78]

@tylerdurdonxx yeah body of work. The majority of that work was against lesser opposition. Look what happened when he faced high calibre NHL talent. Like I sadi Bobby Orr probably caused him nightmares and the other Great Bobby of that era, Bobby Hull had his way with him in 76

[tylerdurdonxx]

@Canuckfan78 Well he's only human. At some point he's going to play bad. You're never gonna be able to find a hockey player who doesn't have an off day once in a while.

[Canuckfan78]

@tylerdurdonxx yet it was only the Canadian teams loaded with NHL talent that caused him problems

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@Canuckfan78 really? cause it seemed in 80 another team of amature players got to him as well and he was pulled.

[undertakerpitt]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi yeah, the Miracle on Ice, a Team USA that was together for 8 months chased him after ONE period!!!!! But still, he was one of the All-Time greats in the blue paint (goal crease)

[tylerdurdonxx]

@Canuckfan78 Yes. If I'm not mistaken Bobby Hull wasn't in the 72 summit series, because they didn't want WHL players. But did get his chance to play them in 76.

[aleksandrpondios]

@Canuckfan78 Come on!Tretyak faced canadian best and not once.I will remaind you.1979 USSR-CANADA(included best NHL players)6-0,failed to score a goal.1981 CANADA CUP USSR-CANADA 8-1.As for teams:TSKA won 27 games against best NHL teams,lost only 7.Tretyak was a goaltender in those games.So what are you talking about?Lets be fair,okey?

[MrVasilenkoK]

@aleksandrpondios In 1979 in third game(6-0)in Soviet net was Myshkin,not Treyiak.The rest is absolutely right

[journeythruthepast]

Tretiak was great but i've seen the final 4 games of the 72 series and he was mediocre in them. Nonetheless it wasn't much better out of Dryden or Esposito but he gets beat on a lot of clean, unscreened shot because he got too far back in his net. That said, he was only 20 at the time and most 20 yr old goalies aren't supposed to play as well as he did. Too bad he never came to the NHL so we could've seen him try to prove himself among the very best of North America.

[starwarsrebel2006]

I met Tretiak at Save On Foods in Richmond, BC in 1987. He had written his autobiography "Tretiak, the Legend," and was autographing it. I bought the book off the bookshelf and stood in line for about 2 hours before I could get him to autograph it. After he signed it, I shook hands with him and said thank you. He couldn't speak English at the time so he just winked and said "Good luck."

[starwarsrebel2006]

@Lovinmetalallday He retired in 1984. That was the time of the USSR. Nobody was allowed to leave that country back then. It would be several years more before the Iron Curtain fell and the Soviet Union no longer existed. Then, Russian players were finally free from communist oppression and able to leave their country and play in the NHL. Amongst the first Russian players to play in the NHL were Igor Larionov and Vladimir Krutov, who joined the Vancouver Canucks in 1989.

[AEMoreira81]

@Lovinmetalallday at the time (the 1980s), players behind the Iron Curtain had to defect to the USA or Canada to be able to play in the National Hockey League (i..e, the Stastny brothers Peter, Anton, and Marian). Until Alex Mogilny in 1989, no Russian player was able to play in the NHL. For that same reason (the refusal of Russia to allow Tretiak to play in the NHL; the Canadiens would have owned his rights), he walked away from the game at just age 32.

[GreenBaldrick]

He's a GREATEST GOALIE EVER!!!!!

I'm sure...

[ferdinand1987666555]

ОН ЛЕГЕНД!

[AEMoreira81]

@Temmy69, I don't think Tretiak ever trained Brodeur; however, Tretiak did train Ed Belfour (who would wear #20 for that reason) and Dominik Hasek when Mike Keenan coached the Blackhawks.

[serrr1521]

пересмотрел матчи ссср_канада с 72 года,еслиб не Владик,половина побед была бы не за русскими!!! Со всем уважением ко всем другим деталям Красной машины...!!!!

[Kolomin1987]

@serrr1521 Как раз ты не прав, сборная была не в полном составе

[TheConverseQueen26]

Well, he's more like my great uncle........

[JDHockeyplayer13]

Do u play hockey like him?

[bonscott55]

yeah and I am his daddy

[TheConverseQueen26]

I'm Danielle Tretyak, and he's my uncle!

[lh141]

@TheConverseQueen26 well thats weird considering your namees are spelled different

[metzgermeister03]

look at his jersey, its spelled with a y

[comradecommedy]

Ehe, Yeah right then speak Russian to me then.

[sushidude123]

@comradecommedy pashol nachui

[comradecommedy]

@sushidude123 Eta sow, scashi mia shto te hotchish mya.

@sushidude123 what language is that

[OlegTabakov]

@dubleo99 Учи, как говорится, албанский

[dubleo99]

@dubleo99 oh yeah it's russian

[anisindr]

Достояние СССР !

Кумир миллионов граждан СССР !

Так же как и Харламов (а также Михайлов, Петров, Харламов, братья Майоровы, Старшинов, Бобров, Мальцев, Якушев, Фирсов, Валерий Васильев, Балдерис, Фетисов-Касатонов-Макаров-Лари­онов-Крутов ... оххх, много славных имен !)

[sadovaj44]

@anisindr

Абсолютно полностью с вами согласен!!!

[tubelover10]

this is a great video tretiak was an amazing goalie but i was happy in 1980 when the us team beat russia and tretiak.

[Tantalis77]

they took out tretiak after 1st period.

[temmy69]

well Tretiak trained Brodeur for real O_O But wikipedia doesnt say anything about this awesome fact!

[montrealdude1]

He was at the Bell center last weekend when the Caps faced the Habs ! ^^

[wildnutria]

Vladislav Tretiak trained Martin Brodeur dont forget that! Russians rule !!!!!

[ottvalley]

Tretiak was over-rated,you ask any of the old NHLers who played against him,he really wasn't that good,he had a great team in front of him

[WalkSeeknDestroySell]

He was that good man not anywhere near overrated. The old time players from Canada only say that because they hated the Russians.

Herb Brooks would even say he is the greatest goal tender ever.

[MANSTER977]

screw you best goalie of all time your just to incompatint to realize

[WalkSeeknDestroySell]

Your? I think you mean you're.

I never said anything bad about him. You are just a moron who can not read.

[MANSTER977]

sorry man

[MANSTER977]

sorry man i definitely misread your comment i went to fast im sorry

[WalkSeeknDestroySell]

S'all good man.

[shaoduoduo]

so they why these 3 great hockey players shouldn't be in the hall of fame???

Kharlamov was the Great One!

can you explain your opinion?))

[nopiratekinghere1]

No, Wayne Gretzky was the Great One.

My point is that for each case, the myth has outgrown the man. Kharlamov, aside from not playing a SINGLE game in the NHL, he never scored more than 52 points in a season while in Russia. How is that Hall-worthy? With regards to Tretiak, sure he put up some good stats against AMATEURS in Russia, but never cracked the Habs roster (the team that drafted him) As for Larionov, never contributed at least 60 points in a season. Hall of famers my ass.

[gregkotecha]

1. They were professionals in the USSR in all but name.

2. Tretiak never had a chance to play for Montreal as the Soviets would not let him leave and he chose not to defect.

3. See his performance versus Montreal (I'm a Canadiens fan) in the'75 exhibition game, and during the '81 Canada Cup. A sub 2.00 GAA against the best players in the world is definitely Hall-worthy.

[Grusi73]

Hey....hey.....lets be honest about this...

...the man is legend....the very best goalie

that walked the face of earth!

Greetings from Sweden.

[wolfgar50]

oh yeah sir gay tell that to bernie parent motherfucker remmember the flyers in 76 well i do literally kicked your asses heh fuck tretiak and fuck russia

[Izumka]

You are one cocksucking moran...

[terrykozak]

Forget the historic goal. If not for Bobby Clarke gooing Kharlamov's ankle, the Russians wrap this up in six. It was Russia versus the NHL, not the best in the world. How many hockey greats, like Bobby Hull, were not invited because they played in the WHA?

[jetshull]

i DONT KNOW ABOUT THAT ya dont win 3 gold medals witha weak goaler.

[nopiratekinghere1]

This is bogus. Phil Esposito has said he could score on Tretiak with his eyes closed. The problem was Team Canada hadn't fully come together as a team until they got to Moscow. That's why the series took all 8 games to be decided. The scouts were right. Tretiak sucked.

[goLEAFSgotc17]

now i hated the soviets just as much as the next guy but tretiak was only 20 years old in the '72 summit series and i f you look at that team canada roster 16 of them are now hall of famers....id say he played pretty damn well against that team as a 20 year old

[Sergei91]

..Tretiak is the best goalie of ALL time.

[nopiratekinghere1]

Well ya, not counting anyone not named Hardy Astrom.

[Cherdenkov]

@Sergei91 Cant argue that.

[datsyuk134life]

Tretiak and Dryden are the best goaltenders hockey has known, along Roy and brodeur

[rockybalboaownz]

tretiak one of the all time greats :D

[jackdanls87]

looks like ovechkin a little bit

[zcm007attack]

My favorite goalie right after Evgeni Nabokov.

[Colin2k41]

Parent vs Tretiak? hmmm. I say parent not by much though

[epeli50]

the best goalie ever!

[devilsfreak9]

@epeli50 Except Jim Craig

[hockeymac94]

best ever hands down

[IhatePatrickRoy]

Yeah, Tretiak was a terrific goalie, and the best to ever come from Europe, But I can't shake that Herb Brooks and Team USA were able expose him a little bit in 1980

[dybeen]

He got pulled in the first period. Sure you're note talking about Vladimir Myshkin?

[IhatePatrickRoy]

Yes, he let in two weak goals in the first period, Tikhonov realized it was a problem, and put in myshkin, I was there, at the game, and I have a feeling we solved him

[Tantalis77]

Tikhonov also says it was the biggest mistake of his life. Everyone that watched the Soviets knows that after Tretiak lets in a few he gets a lot better.

[IhatePatrickRoy]

yeah, plus the mark johnson was a soft mental goal, but that was the olympics and the pressure may have gotten to tikhonov, but your right it was a foolish move

[phsyker]

tretyak was better, or thats what i believe. hasek has/had the butterfly style on his side and tretyak playe against the best players in the world

[NooL25]

Who's better? Hasek or Tretiak?

[RomanBelvedere]

Ooh, man I dont think anyone will be able to honestly answer that...

They both have completely different styles of play, and theyre both unbelievably great goalies... Personally I would say I like Tretiak more because I know more about him, and I've seen him play alot.

[wildcatshockey1]

best goalie ever

[ethanpaskewicz9]

mockaba ve suu:t

[ArcherofStars73]

Always loved Vlad and his #1 student = Martin Brodeur.

[gaser135]

omg 0:41 lawl

[CPpunk132]

He probably had a thousand wins in those 8 years.

[pikkupukki]

Tretiak, real super star.
