  • This game is beast!

  • I wish I could play this game on my computer, I still have the CD. Also this game has an amazing intro.

  • One of the best moments when tearing open a newly bought/borrowed/rented game back then was watching the intro. I love how the video is low-res, it just makes it period-correct.

  • I fapped

  • Back in day, you didn't even have to play an actual game yet to get totally pumped up... All you had to do was watch the intro and you were set! Why in Gods name did EA Sports find the need to drop these? This and the NHL 98 intro were BEAST! If they added something like this to the new gen games, I'd have a bloody sportsgasim!

  • @jimbodiced

    I remember being very very young and this game, this intro really made me go in awe for hockey. This game for my childhood was and is THE SHIT.

  • i LOVE THIS INTRO, it was from this one i found the song.

  • i would trade in all my video games just to play this game for an hour, this game was the best!!!

  • best intro in any sports game

  • 12 years later it's still the best intro to any EA Sports game.

  • best intro for an nhl game ever

  • Back in my day, intros to NHL games were fucking awesome. God I've missed this...

  • its tom fitzgerald who slides across the boards:)

  • Comment removed

  • this just show how much better the league was before 2006!

  • :58 that guy was flying forever!! WHAT A HIT!!

  • thumbs up if you used to watch the intro for this game and in the new games you just skip to the main menu

  • My both thumbs hurts again!

  • These were the best games ever

  • greaat video, so many memories (first game i have played on my pc :( ) I was soo happy to see this intro...

  • lol funny that they used the canuck goal horn at the end.....

  • 0:58 I will never forget.. :)

  • @ThomasKometak pardon me asking,but who was that? it never really crossed my mind lol

  • 0:18 the guy is looking at you with no pupils :O

  • sometimes i just had to watch the intro twice before i played the game. AWESOME INTRO...and what a great game...and i just love that song!

  • Man i still remember that save at 0:50

  • i would watch this shit when i was like 6 years old before a hockey game to get me pumped up

  • Best intro ever!!

  • where i can get crack for nhl 2000

  • i was the 100nd like´er

  • memories...great stuff

  • 0:57 seconds.... BEAST.

  • I don't know why EA stopped doing these awesome intros, watching Jonathan Toews skate up an empty rink and shooting a wrister past Jonas Hiller really isn't all that exciting.

  • @SkinnyBlueKid I've been saying it for years, EA needs to bring back the live action intros with awesome rock music

  • Am I the only one who watched one old intro and had to watch a bunch of the other old ones after? Greatest fcking memories with this shit.

  • I remember this! Played it often. Had a goalie score a goal once. I was like 'ololol"

  • @TheCanadianPrairies Yeah, those were always a laugh. CuJo banking the puck off the boards to clear it and it goes through the opposing goalies pads = priceless.

  • best into ever

  • gooooooosehumps!!!!!

  • quality is awesome thanks brings memories

  • I never was very good at this game, maybe because I was eight years old...

    But the reason why I never stopped playing it was this intro =)

  • They never did top this intro, and I've never really enjoyed an NHL game since.

  • Can't believe this game is 10 years old.

  • lots of games played w/ friends during exam time in uni :)

  • this game made me fall in love with hockey i had it for my pc man i wish i could find it

  • best nhl intro! it psyches you up to play the game!

  • that hit that made the nashville player slide across the top of the boards :59 was sickk

  • Best NHL intro song

  • I think this is the best nhl game intro ever! and the song is amazing!

  • flashback, thank you for this awesome video , best NHL & intro ever

  • Best NHL intro ever. I thought 99 was good but this blew it away :P Never again did they hit the mark like this!

  • I so remember seeing this into! I always loved the song!

  • vintage

  • NHL 98 was pretty good intro

  • awsome goal at 1:09 holy crap lol almost an impossible goal!

  • at :59 that guy went flying for like an hour!!!! omgg!!

  • false

  • to you mabey

  • nhl 99 and 00 is the BEST: anyone disagree? the rest is shit

  • NHL 04 wasn't bad. had a pretty good soundtrack. anything Pre-1996 was good. but yeah, The new games aren't about the fun parts of hockey, more about the technical parts...but why leave fun stuff out of video games...when they're supposed to be fun?

  • same with NBA Live and FIFA 99

  • @creautz08 No I don't agree, NHL 97 is the best.

  • @creautz08 can't forget about NHL 98 as well

  • @creautz08 i've just installed NHL 2000 again, gonna so play it again

  • @creautz08 the rest are, but NHL 98 is also good, infact i think nhl 98 was when nhl really started to get good

  • @creautz08 well i dk about intro wise but i liked 2005 as a kid and for nhl 2012 there bringing back goaly fights and glass breaking and stuff it should be amazing

  • @creautz08 nhl 98 is beast 2!

  • This video brings back old good memories when NHL hockey was at it's pinacle. Nowdays, NHL hockey is played in a more "robotic fashion," In other words, the NHL has lost it's sense of excitement.

  • Best times! love it

  • I remember when we all play that game...  When nobody crying about graphics and reality :) !

  • 0:58  Bench grind, 4x points Multiplier

  • my thoughts exact!

  • Using big hits in this game was SO addictive!! No doubt the best game I've ever played!!

  • @GarthBeatty...

    Yeah, especially AFTER the whistle was blown, because the rest of the team would come after you, and then you get a right mosh-pit on your hands, which was sometimes more fun than the fights themselves. Haven't seen another NHL game that was quite as fun as this one. -It's all about graphics and realism these days (alright for some, I guess). I'd still have this game, and would still play it if I didn't move to Canada - the PS2 was a different format.

  • remember the intro like I played it yesterday.. I was like 10 at the time lol

  • Propably the best intro , ever. Just shows how great the nhl was in the 90s. 2000 was good at the time , and 2004 was by far the best from the old ones but got to say 2010 is the real deal. I love how hockey the game is 09 was just too scoring fest with very limited defensive play, very nhl i think. But 10 is almost perfect as in real hockey defence cant be forgotten...

  • i remember this... :D good times! :D

  • patrick roy crease slide...still gives me goosebumps after all these years

  • Best intro ever for the best hockey game ever.

  • This intro just came to my mind - and I remember it as one of the best game intros - great video/audio timing - especially with the slide of 0:59.

    Great hockey game!

  • great intro!

    anybody knows whose were the songs in the soundtrack of this game??

    I know it has Garbage (push it), Gearwhore (accelerator), Uberzone (dokta dokta) and Rinocerose (la guitarristic house organisation). but the game has one more song...

  • if anybody knows who slid on the boards at 0:59 tell me please

  • NHL 99 and 00 is 2 of the best NHL games ever. after NHL 2003 all the NHL games became the same only a couple of minor adjustments. not anything impressing

  • Have you played 09 on Xbox360? I think it's way entertaining.

  • No. 04 is the best nhl game ever. After 04 they have been bad

  • 2003

  • thanks for uploading. this brings back soo many memories

  • oh yea, oh yea. I always watched this intro and I still remember some plays and goals :) That was the best NHL-game.

  • This was my first NHL game what I got on playstation.. memories...

  • can you get this version of the song?
