Great thread idea. There have been a few times that I wanted to comment on an old game on NHLN but there really wasn't anywhere good.

Lemieux's 500th goal game was on about two weeks ago. It was interesting for that reason on its own, but it was a crazy game with all kinds of stuff happening.

NYT article about it: http://www.nytimes.com/1995/10/27/sport ... isles.html

Zigmund Palffy, forgot how great that guy was when he wanted to be. And that game had Todd Bertuzzi in it which seems totally foreign. Entertaining game, catch it if you can.

Just watched the Skate in the Crease Sabres vs Stars SCF game from 99.

I also have the Pens vs Caps game in the series from 2009 and Gretzky's last game (vs the Pens) saved for when I finish binging AHS.

It still baffles me just how bad the goaltending was back then. Stand up awkwardness all over the place.

Standup has the highest upside, but leaves more to chance on ordinary shots...

The giant pads lend a lot to butterfly i'd think. That seems to have grown directly with the growth of pads.

fun video. yzerman...so slick. didn't get to see the wings much back then, so i didn't realize the extent of his powers. and what in the hell was actually considered a hook back then.

also, fox robots.

Yeah, people try to say that the "dead puck era" and all that is back...yeah, no. The amount of stick fouls uncalled then to now is grounds for dismissal of the argument, at least that portion...

Ugh, it's been 16 years but I still get twitches if I see video from that game or it even gets mentioned because back at that time, I was working for a sports TV entity that used to care about hockey and I was responsible for that game...and didn't walk out of work until 8:30am the next morning. Ah, memories.


But a Penguins search of Youtube usually pulls up some good ones...like the Nedved game (and how utterly stupid the penalty shot call for Juneau was) or the 2 wins over the Devils in 99 or the wild comeback against the Blackhawks in the 92 Finals. You can spice up a boring evening by doing a bunch of searches.
