Anyone get the chills from this?

[Kriss E]

Brisebois was pretty decent. His terribleness was grossly exaggerated then and is still perpetuated by people like you.

Decent?? Lol, he was terrible. If you think he was decent, then you and I have different standards.

You do know that the guy battled severe depression because of how he was treated buy our fans, right? Ease up.

What does that have anything to do with being bad at defense??

Goes to show that you don't have to have superstars on every line to win.

Hmmm..unless I missed a part of history, we didn't win jack crap with that team.
But nobody ever said we need superstars on every line.

I never really understood that I got the chills thing, when i'm chilly I put on a sweater but hey that's just me.

 

[Habs10Habs]

This is Bob Cole's best call ever.

Agreed, which is why personally for me. He can screw up names, and make a ton of mistakes in his play by play. But I still love hearing him call the games.

 

[CupInSIX]

That terrible goal song...sounds like New Kids on the Block collaborating with Gregorian monks.

 

[CupInSIX]

Whats wrong with Brisebois?

You mean outside his terribleness?

You might want to get off your high horse as no one said anything specific about Brisebois until you asked what was wrong with him

I'm only 20, so I never grew up watching the Habs in a dynasty. I grew up with Koivu, Jose Theodore, etc, and the team struggled in these years, but games like this made me love my team as much as I do now.
I occasionally read our old rosters from the early 2000's and some of those names make me very nostalgic.

Anyone else?

Just where you never been involved in great team before. The years I started school until I graduated the Habs won 8 Stanley Cups

I can't believe that I totally forgot about Oleg Petrov. The legendary Oleg Petrov!

Claude Mouton's last goal call from the old Forum

Where's the empathy for the long suffering fans, who watched that gong show night in and night out?

This fanbase needs a cup in the worst way. The years between '93 and now have been mostly agonizing in my memory.

Amazing memories op what a monster game by Koivu that night.

 

[jpchabby]

I miss Craig Darby so much

 

[De Montreal]

if this doesnt give you chills...

 

[habsfanatics*]

Brisebois was actually a very competent dman, many worse than him have played for the habs.

 

[habdynasty]

That was the worst era of Habs hockey in my 45 years of life. Bad memories.

I suffer the same depression because by of how I am treated here.

 

[Runner77]

Chills??

Dackell
Brisebois
Rivet
Dykhuis
Kilger
Audette
Berezin
Quintal

Ya...gives me chills alright.

A chilled and frosty deception of forgettable fringemeisters. I wonder if Breezer was checking out their feet.

We're talking about thousands of people booing one guy night after night to the point where he battled severe depression which can destroy and even end a person's life.

Put in that light, I find your comment extremely disturbing.

 

[dutchy29]

I did get a chance to see the 86 and 93 cups, but I remember this era well. I remember this particular game quite well as for me it defined Koivu as a player, we were underdogs during much of this period of hockey and guys like Markov, Koivu, Theodore gave us a chance to pull off some major upsets in the playoffs and to me that was as good as the cup because these teams really didn't have any business winning anything.

Come on buddy...he was terrible. He was a slightly better version of MAB. Bigger, but just as soft. He was so lost in his zone it was pathetic.
Yes, I would pick Breezer over other terrible Dmen that have played here. That hardly makes him competent.

Breezer was the DD of his day.

His only saving grace -- he was lucky to be playing in the era of pre-social media.

But Breezer wasn't this protected player like DD is.
Otherwise that's a fair comparison.

Cool time capsule. GREAT audio.

... but bad memories.

10 - 15+ years of INSANELY brutal 1st round draft picks.

Koivu is fine, of course.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

I'm 24 so I grew up watching these players too and I understand your nostalgia man, it's the same for me. Some great childhood memories are linked directly to these early 00's teams so even tho they were pretty bad I'll always remember them in a good way!

How can you not love this face?

 

[SpeedyPotato]

I was at that game with my dad... it was insane!!! The Koivu goal, I always remembered the play Markov made to keep the puck in the zone. I've been to other habs playoffs games, but this one is probably the best in terms of atmosphere and drama I've ever attended.

That Koivu goal man... tear to my eye, that was somethin else

we're pretty privileged to have had some pretty decent playoffs even AFTER this 2002 one
