  1. I remember renting NHL Breakaway 98 for the N64 from Rogers Video when I was a kid. I always loved trying the alternatives to the EA games. I seem to remember it being a pretty solid game.

  2. Nice video, the boys are definitely the tough type of NHLers you want on your team. And continue to take up the old school Tkachuk side, hopefully never the cowardice side of their uncle Craig "Spearchucker" Ostir.

  3. I remember that incident at the Olympic Village in Nagano. Even though no one on the team took responsibility, you gotta give Cheli credit for paying for the damages and writing a letter of apology to the Olympic organizers.

  4. DO NOT !!!!!!!!! Compare basketball players to HOCKEY PLAYERS ….. not the same level , shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath

  5. The way you pronounced Walt Tkachuk is the correct way to pronounce that Ukrainian surname.

    Early in Keith's career some commentators would pronounce it the correct way as well.

  6. As a Bruin fan, you have to believe that one of the Tkachuk brothers will end up a Bruin at some point in their career to complete the Circle of Hockey for Big Walt. The Malden Catholic to BU route was common for Boston's best hockey players likr Big Walt as BU's coach, Jackie Parker hald built Terrier Hockey into a monster. Honestky, Brady Takchuk looks like he was born & raised in South Boston, "Southie" and Bs fsns would go absolutely nuts gor his brand of hockey!

  7. Keith Tkachuk was a bulldog so it's no surprise that his two boys are carbon copies .. as a Canadian I was generally excited to watch the two brothers on the same team and l wasn't disappointed .. I'll even go so far as to say the Canadians dodged a bullet in the final game with Matthew not being 100% ..

  8. Have to agree Walt can be one of the top USA players ever born an can't get in the Hall of Fame .Also the boys are two the best in hockey today.

  9. I was a Cab driver in Quebec City in 2010. We recently have screens for the dispatch. I saw the name Tkachuk on my screen at the Chateau Frontnac (big hotel) I only now one Tkachuk !!!! like all hockey fan in the World ! If not I never believed That Keith can play any sport (except Sumo) he was so big !!!! my Dodge Caravan suffer that morning looool !!!!. But it was him, Chantal, Mat and Brady ! it was for de Pee-Wee Tournament ! …. really generous, give 100$ for a 40$ ride to the airport and he give me a 100$ more when I said to him that it's a SHAME that he is not in The Hockey Hall of Fame looool. !!!!!

  10. The faces of USA hockey are from St. Louis!
    Their father chose to raise them here because it was a good place to raise the FACES OF USA HOCKEY!
    #proud.

  11. Pat maroon would bring the cup back to stl when tampa bay went on there back to back right after the blues won it in 2019
