“goon” squad???
Whaaaaaaaat!?!?!? Content!!!!!!
Gary Suter did dumb things in the heat of the moment, Stevens made a career out of shortening others. While we didn't know to what extent brain trauma damaged a person, it wasn't exactly rocket science to realize it could be severe. That always feels like a cop out to me, especially when you have guys like Trouba doing similar things today. Players will do what they can to help their team win regardless of the human cost on the other bench. That won't change until the rules do. Unfortunately the NHL is more scared of lawsuits than the of the saftey of its star players.
Another great video, man. Keep it up. My favorite audio essays/mini documentaries on hockey
Very interesting concept, definitely will sit down for each one of these that come out.
Great analysis of the hits that hurt a career. PK still manages a point/game despite so many awful hits. I don't blame him for being bitter, who wouldn't be after all of that? I'm so happy he is back, even in small ways, with the Ducks and hockey as a whole.
These are some of the most entertaining hockey docs o YouTube. Your intros always get me sucked in. This was another stellar one dude! Would love you to cover the history of the Arizona Coyotes
What an awesome idea for a series.
You could do like 100+ of these videos and it would never get old
A Ben Oakley and pinholes Graham video in the same week? Is this Christmas? Fantastic video as always Ben.
cant get enough of your vids man 👍👍👍👍
So ready to re-live the clean checking, completely fair era of 90s hockey
Love this Video
The name Gary Suter still makes my blood boil. I hate him more than any other player
This was a great video, man. The throughline of how little people truly knew about concussions and brain injuries was devastating, and the insight into each hit was awesome. Especially how wildly different the context for each was despite how similar their results were.
There was one thing that did stand out to me, though. Scott Stevens, not a bad person? That might be something up in the air a bit.
Awesome video! I love the music choices!
BABE WAKE UP, NEW NICHE HOCKEY HISTORY VIDEO JUST DROPPED
Somehow I never realized Kariya was from Vancouver.
Those times were the wild West with injuries Paul is the franchise of Anaheim
Gonna add Stevens was also a rapist who got off easy despite Nick Kypreos testifying and law endorcement officers being convinced that an assault occured. It happened when he was wjth the Capitals, look it up. He was absolutely not a good dude.
