...this is several years old now but IMO, it is still by far the best sports video collection I've ever seen...great editing and great song. (even better with earphones on) ...hard to believe I've been around long enough to have actually witnessed 95% of these iconic moments; [video=youtube;ldQwkO3Rxr4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldQwkO3Rxr4[/video]
...you're quite welcome lion...and hammer, like I said, listen to it with headphones or earphones if you can.
Just watched it... great montage for sure.... I would have loved to see the hit Stevens put on Lindros in there too though...
My personal favrites aside from the Lindros hit are #9 (Kevyn Adams) and #2 (Paul Kariya) on this list... #4 was impressive in the manner it took Ron Francis to get to the bench [video=youtube;7U7jUbKQYdw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U7jUbKQYdw&feature=player_detailpage[/video]
...Mo?...no problem. The Sandman warrants his own montage. [video=youtube;UPtDJuJMyhc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPtDJuJMyhc[/video]
I would have thought you loved it for the same reason 99% of the public loved it, (well those that actually still follow it) and that's that even though its basically a black sport & not as popular as it use to be it's still entertaining. But I'm sure you'll agree that Ali was still the best fighter ever.
who? Just kidding... hated boxing, yet loved hockey (for far more than the fights)... Honestly, I've never seen a single bout Ali or anyone for that matter fought in... don't like MMA, don't like boxing, but the ability of a hockey player has always intrigued me... skating, not running, using a long stick to slide a small puck across a surface which is slippery, trying to get it past the goalies, passing, hitting, it's a combination of many great sports all wrapped up in one...
Sorry Steve but its hard not to get the two sports mixed up. And like I said, some time back they took a poll among hockey fans & asked them what they love most about hockey & 97% of them said the FIGHTS! Talented skaters yes but if it weren't for all the fights (as MOST fans say) no one would watch the damn sport. Now normally I'd finish this post up with something like JMO but the fans don't lie................................97%
I disagree completely... these are FAR different... one is on ice, pucks, passing, skating, etc. the other is two sweaty animals hitting each other in a confined area... one has skill involved, the other is only brute strength...
