Gilbert Perreault vs. Lanny McDonald - Showdown 78

Gilbert Perreault squares off against Lanny McDonald in this installment of Showdown 78. Rogie Vachon is in goal and ready for the challenge. Hockey Night in Canada has always had the best intermission entertainment, and here's just another reason why.

funny how this is the old school all star shit, and nobody is fucking there??

Showdown was an intermission series, completely unrelated to the NHL All-Star Game.

what's with the arena music so loud? or is that an ice cream truck driving buy?

[TotalityProductions]

Obviously some audio trouble with the original recording, that's how it was broadcast.

I loved those guys. None today can compare with them. Not even close.

[EmilyShoutsILY]

The good old days....look how tiny goalies looked 3:25 without michelan man equipment!

Gilbert Perreault was an incredible player. I still have never seen a player with his skating speed and stickhandling skills. He was the best man for the 1 on 5 situation!!!

@felled That was 3 out of 5 on Perreault jarhead and he deeked him out of his jockstrap on the last one. If he deeks on all 5 shots, he scores every time, guaranteed !

Lanny McDonald should of chosen fighting as his event.
