This rivalry was FAR better than the current Chicago Detroit rivalry. I don't care how good Hawks are now....there is NO passion in the NHL...city rivalries are gone thanks to Bettman and conference play. United Center full and screaming at top of your lungs, is no where near as loud as Chicago Stadium with a dull roar. Completely different now. Bettman has ruined the game with rosters full of Euro-pussies who don't understand city rivalries in USA/Canada...very little checking and passion
as a hawks fan, love that minnesota has a team again cause the chicago/minnesota rivarly is awesome, and i love seening dino getting his ass kicked, biggest bitch in hockey
classic Dino turtle, he invented it. Minnesota was Chicago's punching bag for years. Such a mismatch. Koharski's last game as an official was last week. Amazing...
dino got the crap beat out him self every night and still would stand in front of the net getting cross cheked in the back. He is the master of the garbage goal. He needs to be in the hall of fame look up the numbers.
Look at the beautiful white rink and the lovely white boards....notice the players how they are passionate for the game and defending their team-mates...honor and pride. Then in came greed, over-zealous owners and the corporations polluting the ice and boards with brand names and help turn hockey into a fairy sport with all its political correctness cr@p. Gary Betteman is Tinkerbell.
Damn, you hit it right on the money. Outstanding comment. I was daydreaming with great memories as a kid watching this clip, remembering some of these two teams' great matchups. I liked the league the way it was with the 21 teams before recent expansion (we can thanks Gretzky and his move to LA for that). Great niche sport, no Hollywood fag stuff. It's a fairy league now with teams named "Ducks" and teams located in Phoenix and Nashville and Florida. Mostgamesare almostunbearabletowatch...
Amen brother....the 90s and early 2000 was all clutch and grab hockey so that the cheap teams could attempt to compete and generate as much possible interest by baseball/football/Nascar fans. :) I remember an interview with Phil Esposito in which a reporter asked him about how it might be possible that Anaheim might be named "The Mighty Ducks", he laughed it off by saying there was NO WAY they would ever call themselves that dumb a name..that it was just really dumb. Then look what they did. :)
Those were great times. I remember an afternoon playoff game, I think it was a Friday. Chanting "Dino sucks", the line of Murray, Olczyk and Fraser scored a couple and Fraser fought Willie Plett. I also recall a seventh game where Savard and Keith Brown got majors and game misconducts and the Hawks killed the five minute 5 on 3, then went on to win the game. It was incredibly loud, and as exciting as any sporting event could be.
I couldn't stand your rotten dirty Chicago Blackhawks, you guys and your stupid ugly red & black uniforms and annoying jerk players plus that awful horn at your stadium. God how I miss hating you guys. Hockey will never be the same. Memories of my beloved North Stars live on through your team, never for get us and long live the blackhawks tradition. Forever North Stars
Of course the officiating was bad. Look who skates up with the orange bands on. Don Fucking Koharski. I suppose it could've been worse. Could've been Andy Van Hellemond.
One of the worst things the NHL ever did was take the officals' names off their sweaters.
Try Bruce Hood, Terry Gregson, or Kerry Fraser. The latter still refs today, although he's getting older and now wears a helmet to cover his coiffant. Koharski should be doing Donut commercials, just ask Jim Schoenfield.
Yeah, Koharski indeed. Can you believe that Nylund actually was given a game misconduct as a result of this fracas (as well as Bob Rouse, of course, as he was the third man in the fight)? For what, I have no idea.....
Probably because the officials didn't want to deal with the problem of having the North Stars target Nylund for the rest of the game. Getting him out of there made their job easier.
Outside of Basil McRae and Richard Zemlak, the North Stars had little in the way of team toughness, and more importantly there were only a handful of games remaining in the season after this one, and the North Stars were a bad team fighting for a playoff spot and had a lead (and eventually won, 5-4) in the game. Would they throw all of that away to try get back at Nylund somehow?
From an officiating standpoint, the ejection made no sense to me, based on what happened on the ice.
CLassic 80s reffing. Miss the first big shot, wait for the relation "See the cross check?" call the reliation as the initial penalty. NHL reffing left an incredable amount to be desired in the day.
Never liked that damn Ciccerelli. Notice when Nyland went after him, he covered up. Retaliate for a cheap shot is fine, but you got to follow it through.
Good olde tyme hockey players like Dino keep them arena seats full of fans which is good for everyone. Dino's conduct is simply self-defense 99% of the time, what the hell are you going to do when someone cheap shots ya eh? Take and walk away like a bitch or fight back like a real man?
@jrjmn9999 Could not skate a lick, I think I could have outskated Secord when I was a kid...lol. Didn't him and Dino take turns taking stick swings at each one game. I could imagine what the taunting between them must have been like.
Dino is such a pussy!
